So they built this all and didn't tell Shepard

Femshep gives the speech in the previous trailer, so it's reasonable to assume launch occurred somewhere before 2 & 3, and it was never acknowledged because they hadn't thought of this at the time of writing the game.

TFW I'm the only one in the thread who wants the Dinklebot to return.

His voice was better but he did a terrible job acting the part. Nolan North always sounds confused, like Marky Mark in The Happening.

Gaming / Mass Effect Andromeda: new trailer + game set 600+ years after ME3

A trailer for a trailer, but it at least gives a bit of a timeline.

Happy N7 Day!

As a kid, the level Eschebone in Jet Force Gemini really grossed me out because you're inside a giant living organism. Also see: Jabu Jabu's belly from OoT and the robot shark from Banjo Kazooie.

Is this DAPA related, or just general protestation about First Nation tribes getting shit on across the US?

Trump has tried already to cozy up to Russia, even re-writing the GOP platform to more or less abandon Ukraine.
This is pure speculation.

It's actually factual evidence. Again, I was referring to what he did with the GOP platform, not him and Russia having direct links. I never said that. I would hope though you don't dismiss these links as liberal media though, as if that would invalidate it. I've noticed that trend happening more recently here.

I read liberally biased news sources almost exclusively, so that's not an issue. The speculation is whether Trump's administration is rolling back a Hawkish Ukrainian stance because of ties to Russia, rather than because he's consistently touted isolationism -- and more than a small minority of Republicans take issue with arming Ukraine against Russia.

I get really squeamish when I see childbirth-related and bloody stuff in games so the first time I saw this in Bloodborne I felt very uncomfortable.


Bloodborne really seems like it tries too hard to get that edge in.

Like, apparently you can pick up umbilical cords as items? WOAH THAT'S SO METAL xDDD
Spoiler
It's not a real umbilical cord. It's an epithet for an alien relic.

This is pure speculation, and an organization owned by a business mogul communicating with a foreign bank is hardly scandalous, let alone treasonous. The conclusion that long-winded article reaches is, "we think it's mail, though it could be other stuff, and there's no way to know what it actually is".

Mass Effect did it a lot. Mass Effect 3 in particular used quite a few dark reprises (which I didn't realize was a trope until now), especially for the various endings. Even the title screen is a reprise of the ending theme of Mass Effect 2.

Edit: Apparently it's on the tropes page:

Yeah, an indie dev getting bullied by Sony and a grossly cancerous community is difficult, but at least own up to blatant lies and mistakes instead of shifting blame.

Higgs Boson or water on Mars probably.

I'd sure like to see some actual fucking content instead of six relatively boring areas running missions that are never more than running through areas killing mobs and holding X at the end.  Areas need more interconnectivity. Ships as loading screens need to be eliminated. Make transitions a minigame of flying your ship to a new location, or use some sort of teleporter or something, but no more of this garbage 'planet -> map -> loading screen -> planet' system.

Also, raids need a more casual option. It's insane that you can't even consider finishing a raid until you've run it multiple times to farm gear, or else be carried by a generous team. Stories should transition into a raid, not just having the campaign plot end and then weirdly have a raid exist to continue the story, but recognized by nobody. i.e., TTK you kill Oryx but he's still alive and you accomplished nothing, but there's no urgency to continue. Rise of Iron, you stop Siva, but apparently you don't, but no biggie, just do it whenever.

Legit question: Could Jon/Dany get Gendry legitimized and use him to usurp power from the Lannisters? I just don't really see a purpose for his return at all. It seems like they're basing out of Dragonstone this season, the seat of House Baratheon.

Sounds like BS and doesn't really contain too many large plot points (because vagueness is easier to legitimize).
There are apparently some more details that this guy must have left out. Also this season is only 7 episodes long.

Got a link?

Interesting investments for someone claiming to be no nonsense and anti corporations.

-Exxon
-Goldman Sachs
-Pfizer

How is this controversial? She puts her money into an investment plan and probably provides no input into which specific companies that includes.
You can't vehemently criticise these sorts of companies and then invest in them, even if she isn't personally making the decisions she could at least ask whatever company is investing for her to avoid them otherwise she is just as two faced as the others. Being the "different one" is basically her platform and if it isn't she living up to it then I may as well vote for an establishment candidate that'll actually has a chance

Being a shareholder is a very legitimate reason to be critical of a company.

I like how Hilary never addresses the stuff trump says and avoids the questions
Seems like a recurring theme on both sides this election.

Hillary deflects because she doesn't want to give answers. Trump deflects because he doesn't have any answers.

You're preapproved and you have an idea what your trade in is worth. YOU should be doing the fucking.

Start by going to the dealer website and looking iver which cars fit your budget. Pick one you really like slightly over budget and a realistic one that they should discount to get you in. Offer 20% less than the sticker. If they jump at that, walk away. That means it's a lemon. If they come back with a number below sticker, keep grinding them. Your timing is good, as the end of the month is when they try to move the most units.

Legit question I can't find an answer to: I'm looking at three cars at one dealer, but should I only offer on one, or is it okay to offer on two or all three of them?

I'm considering Johnson for a protest vote (Stein won't elicit a large enough response to affect anything), but my state is bordering on Blue so I may vote Trump Hillary instead. Either way I'm going to feel dirty after voting.

Looking at 6 cars at three dealerships. I've got KBB, NADA, and Edmunds prices printed for each. My offers are 2% above trade-in value, and I'm pre-approved for a loan. Post some last minute tips, because I'm still probably gonna get assfucked.

I refuse to call an AT-AT a mecha.

That doesn't mean it's not a mecha.

The broader the term, the less specific it is. Mecha generally refers to Japanese designs, though the word encompasses any machine. I wouldn't call an AT-AT a mecha just like I wouldn't call it an automobile. Might as well just call it what its source material calls it: a walker.
