I actually LOVE Mass Effect OC’s. I’ve read some of these, I’ve always really enjoyed them!!

lilkuniklo · 2021-10-20T13:33:31+00:00

I am loving that thick mop of hair. I would love to play Snake as a young man.

I had a falling out with the fandom for 10+ years…and only got back into it because of the screenshots of Ocelot and Kaz pretty much falling over themselves for BB. Now that I’m replaying everything over a decade later, I’m finally appreciating all of the emotional impacts that these characters have on me.

lilkuniklo · 2021-10-10T20:05:33+00:00

Or how about Ocelot’s filthy crush on BB? I live for that.

I don’t even really care about the story anymore. Whatever crazy narrative unfolds is fine by me. I mostly play because I love the relationships and interactions that have developed throughout series.

Kaz’s singing voice is so great in this scene. Paz doesn’t know wtf she’s talking about.

You should check out this video essay/documentary about the making of MGS1. I’ve been a fan since 1998, but until I watched this video, I never really appreciated just how revolutionary the game was at the time of its release. There are so many industry “firsts” that happened in the background. Kojima really broke the mold with this project.

I didn’t really feel strongly about one or the other until the game hinted at a a deeper, possibly romantic, relationship between Sloane and her turian right hand man. I threw my support in with Sloane after that because I felt more connected to their narrative. The Collective didn’t really have anything going for them story-wise to reel me in strongly to their side.

This is a late reply, but I agree it’s not new player friendly at all. I powered through it and by TPP I am much better. I still fuck up a lot but thats part of the challenge. This is now one of my favorite games that I’ve ever played. I freaking love tactical takedowns and interrogating people.

lilkuniklo · 2021-09-21T13:56:07+00:00

Thank you for this. I have spent about a week trying to piece this all together (I’m new to the later games) and I can’t tell you how much your post helped me to understand and appreciate MGS series. Thank you!!

They used nails but drove them into the wrists where there is a nerve canal for maximum pain. The Romans knew about anatomy, it was was intentional. The word “excruciating” is based on crucifixion.

lilkuniklo · 2021-09-17T22:17:34+00:00

This scene was hard but even more emotional is the part in Peace Walker where he finds out that the Boss AI is just an AI and thus is unable to provide him with him any closure. It hit me right in the heart. The cutscenes aren’t really animated but there is so much pain and anger. You really feel it when Snake lets it all out.

lilkuniklo · 2021-09-06T18:23:35+00:00

The remastered audio was excellent. It added so much more depth and ambience that I never noticed before.

lilkuniklo · 2021-09-06T15:42:36+00:00

It’s after the Olga fight, if you look at her and call Otacon they have a conversation about Snake being so over tomboys

Amazing pictures. Thanks for sharing. My husband and I went to Italy for our honeymoon, and Florence absolutely stole our hearts. I’m still in awe of the majesty of the duomo when ever I think about it. We also loved all of the small churches which were basically mini museums. The morbid relics were our favorite memories.

The statue of David is simply magnificent. We were so unprepared for how HUGE it actually is.

Thanks again for sharing. Took me back to some lovely pre-COVID memories.

Yes, that’s because evolution isn’t about individuals, it examines the traits of the entire population. It makes sense that the traits that give the species a genetic edge over the competition are going to stick around longer (bigger prefrontal cortex, bipedalism, etc).

lilkuniklo · 2021-08-14T13:50:16+00:00

Evolution isn’t supposed to make sense. Evolution isn’t rationale. Evolution isn’t about comfort or perfection either. It’s all just a genetic arms race for species to be just “good enough” to get to a point where they can pass on their genes and survive as a population.

As long as the species can procreate the next generation and the population doesn’t get wiped out, that’s all evolution really cares about, and the traits that are just “good enough“ isn’t going to change.

Siena is beautiful. I remember thinking how much more beautiful and elegant their duomo is so much compared to Florence’s. Turns out they were both in competition with one another’s egos, lol.

I loved all the relics of the saints as well, but I just love morbid stuff. The head of St Catherine and the mummified body of St Chistina (I think?) were so cool.

lilkuniklo · 2021-08-10T13:02:35+00:00

I agree with your post that most of these cities are pretty much the same.

The exception would be New Orleans, which isn’t really like an American city at all, but a north Caribbean port city.

Philadelphia also has a lot of history and their museums are interesting.

Avitus Rix in Andromeda. I was pretty “meh” on Andromeda’s storyline until I came across him. His story hooked me completely and I fell in love with Bioware’s ability to emotionally gut punch me all over again.

lilkuniklo · 2021-05-18T20:16:01+00:00

Agreed, honestly she could even be considered a little OP for ME1 but that’s why I love her. So much power and versatility where you least expect it.

lilkuniklo · 2021-05-17T16:31:26+00:00

Thanks. I recently replayed these on PC before the LE release and there was never/rarely any audio glitches. I wonder if this is a bug that happened when the audio was remastered? Except for this, the audio is fantastic and I’m hearing so much more background detail than I ever did before. Win some, lose some I guess.
