    GAME OF THRONES #2:The Night Lands ACT 12 Chapter 2-2012

    I don't remember the exact sequence of events, but the scene where he gropes Ashayara on the horse is definitely in the books. There's this whole bit where she convinces him that she's a shipwrights wife or something, and he tries to seduce her, which hightens his humiliation when he learns the...

    Oh this could get ugly!

    On the other hand, it will make some future plot developments clearer.

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    I romanced Ashley in ME1 and ME3. In ME2 I romanced Miranda first time through and then Jack. Third play through I decided not to romance anyone, since I was trying to keep my options open with Ashley for ME3, though as it turns out, except for snarking at me for sleeping with Jack, it didn't...

    GAME OF THRONES #2:The Night Lands ACT 12 Chapter 2-2012

    Yes, because in Game of Thrones, if you can tell the story with nudity, you must. Always.

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    I was actually a big Thane fan in ME2 and a bit disappointed he wouldn't join the crew in ME3. But he did go out well, as did Moradin and Legion. Of course, since somehow I screwed up the geth/quarian quest, for me the most emotionally jarring death was Tali's death. Particularly since she was...

    GAME OF THRONES #2:The Night Lands ACT 12 Chapter 2-2012

    I think Cor Azer means that the show implies that Selyse is sick, not that she is in the book. This also seems to gloss over the fact that in the novel it's Selyse who presses Stannis to accept the Lord of Light.

    GAME OF THRONES #2:The Night Lands ACT 12 Chapter 2-2012

    I agree there seems to be some character pruning going on here, also by making Bronn head of the Gold Cloaks, though given the foreshadowing with Davos's son ....

    Blogging through Baldur's Gate

    Makes me want to break out BG again myself, though I'll probably wait till the "enhanced" edition hits (jury's out on whether I'll do the iPad version or the PC version). But honestly, I tried to play through the original BG about a year ago and quit after about an hour because it felt clunky...

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    PC, but I think you make my point. The position that I'm taking is one that can be argued ad nauseum in a productive way, whether or not I explicitly qualify it with the phrase, "in m opinion." in fact using the phrase "in my opinion," make the argument about my opinion, rather than the game...

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    It's obviously my opinion. I'm the one offering it.

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    Kzach, I'll make a deal with you, if you'll stop minimizing my concerns as "you just didn't get what you want" then I'll take your endorsement of the ending more seriously, but you're clearly not hearing me if you think that's what I'm saying. And, to make this crystal clear, I didn't think it...

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    Kzach, and I'm fine with the fact that we came to different conclusions. As I said initially, at first glance, I actually enjoyed the ending. It was only on reflection that I said, "wait, that didn't make much sense." I'm totally comfortable with the idea that you genuinely enjoyed the...

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    Yes, if you examine any fictional creation enough, you'll find holes. And the more well thought through and sophisticated the fiction, the harder the holes will be to find. the problem with the ME3 ending is that the holes are OBVIOUS and GLARING, and that's why people have so many problems with...

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    You know Kzach, I read your posts in a lot of threads, and you've always got plenty of snark and insult to go around. I've said my piece. Others can respond to you if they like. Since I started this thread specifically because you complained about the other one, I'm just going to go ahead and...

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    Because you spend three games bringing together the warring factions of the galaxy to fight a common threat, only to have that all completely undone at the last minute, since your sacrifice makes almost all interstellar travel impossible. Well, that's nice, but it's not what the game...

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    Somehow I screwed up the Geth/Quarian thing and I didn't get the paragon option that would have allowed them to reconcile. As a result, I sided with the Geth (without realizing that it would lead to disaster for the Quarians), and Tali ended up throwing herself off a cliff. I felt genuinely bad...

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    I'll jump right into the controversy about the ending: I avoided spoilers about what actually happens at the end (though I knew there was controversy), and played it through once so far. So here's my impression. If you are only going to play the game once, I didn't think the ending was so bad...

    Mass Effect 3 (SPOILERS!)

    Hey folks, Since the non-spoiler threat for Mass Effect 3 means that we can't actually talk about anything that actually happens in the game, I thought that it might be a good idea for us to have a thread where we can talk about the events of the game, particularly given some of the controversy...
