Hey,
I know this isn't at all related to Mass Effect 3, but does anybody know what is the track/song playing when Shepard takes Liara for drinks after the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC i the Normandy.

NVM: Found it. Its called virgil.

You could chance browsing the last 10 - 20 pages of the Story Leak discussion thread on BSN if you're a gambling man. A 60 - 80% of time someone is responding to a mass quoting of summarized information. The problem is you'd most likely have to dodge meticulously detailed debates on every version of the script to find it otherwise. Thankfully some of them started camouflaging their spoilers before I stopped lurking a week ago. There's a no spoiler tag on it now so the choice is yours. Either way you should be able to find enough info to form a general opinion.

I read the endgame and it doesn't seem like a DEM. How else could they be expected to overcome?

ME3 spoiler discussion...
I typically consider something a DEM if it comes out of no where near the end and somehow magically fixes stuff...like the butler in SpiderMan 3. In this case, the DEM-itude of the plot depends on how you look at it. I believe the potential DEM is first introduced in the first couple missions, making it a game long goal. If you look at just ME3, it's something that spans the game. If you look at the entire ME trilogy, it looks like something that was introduced at the last moment before the "final conflict" that'll magically end the conflict.

Personally I was hoping they'd kill reapers by weaponizing Mass Effect relays. They've been in the game since the beginning and we've seen how destructive they are when blown up in the Arrival DLC. It'd also be less DEM'y than a device introduced in the finale.

I think the mass relays are used from discussion I've seen. There was specific discussion of what would be done when they were cut off from the mass relays. This is very similar to the plot of the fall of Hyperion novel, which is regarded as one of the best scifi novels of the past two decades or so.

Bless you for using spoiler tags.

Ugh. I can't stop thinking about how much the Virmirision scenario with Kai Leng pisses me off right now.

Collector's Edition unboxing/trailer!!

(Contains some revealing pictures from the artbook but no true spoilers IMO)

The N7 hoodie looks sweeet....

I dig the hawk but can't get on board with the Motoko Kusanagi influenced outfit for Jack just yet. Dope hoodie. I just wouldn't spend over $30 for it.

Yeah, the hair looks pretty sweet (I really like the Paris Hilton poof thing she has going on top, oddly), but I haven't made up my mind about the outfit yet. I didn't make the connection to Kusanagi but now that you say that, I can definitely see it. It's the shoulders.

A sniper rifle in the concept art though? Very un-Jack.

What do they charge for those hoodies in the BioWare merch store, like $60-70? Having Shepard wear one on the Normandy is a nice compromise. Plus, no having to explain what "N7" means to relatives and such.

I guess that means I'm gonna have to buzz my head and dye everything dark brown since Shepard and I will be matching now

Know what's funny? I cut my own hair and I shaved my head much shorter than I usually do this past time (which my wife hated) and I was all like "hells yeah, I'm rocking the Shepard look" and I put on my N7 hoodie. I felt like a giant dork, but damn I love Mass Effect. Good to know I'm not the only one who thinks along those lines.

And for the CE video.....This is going to be one friggin awesome CE. My one gripe is that the avatar Normandy that comes with the CE is the same as the PAX give-away (which I paid way too much money for), but the video said "bonus avatars"....as in plural...so maybe there is hope for more. Also, the music in that video was great. Reminiscent of ME1, which is a good thing.

There are three different hoodies. The old one which is like $58 (or as low as $24 on sale, which is when I got it) and these come in multiple colors. Then there is the Shepard Armor one for $88, it's kind of gawdy and too expensive, IMO. Lastly, the best one, the "elite" armor, which is very similar to the old one, but with stitched patterns and not just screenprinting. That one is $74 (was $60 up until last Sunday). Also comes in multiple colors and that's the one to get.

I'm a biowarestore junkie. If you want to keep track, friend treehouse on facebook.

Oh, and I have the N7 decal on my Jeep and I wear a ME3 lanyard at work where lanyards are required for our ID badges. I get comments from other gamers, so it's a cool conversation starter and I've met fellow gamers at work because of it. Same thing a few years ago when I wore a Halo 3 lanyard at work.

New Pulse episode showcasing the Vanguard's Nova biotic power and new Krogan shotgun:

Looks like close combat should be a lot funner than ZOMG so many husks mash b button.

Combat looks great. Nova was sweet, I'm glad my main Shepard is a Vanguard.

Vanguard is, and always will be, the only way to play Mass Effect

This, I'm afraid. Although I will have to check out that omni blade melee power with the Engineer class.

Three. long. months. left.

Back in your hole.

I've been so busy with work and holiday stuff I kind of forgot that next month is January and the official ME3 trailer will in our hands next month. Cannot freaking wait.

By the way, did you guys see that they ARE releasing a 2nd wave of figures? Check biowarestore.com. Garrus, Mordin, Miranda and Legion. Gotta get those (minus Miranda).
