No, you laughed in your deep voice. Some friend eventually avenged my death.

O snap lol. It's kKkKkK. Next time put respawns on.

 

[XtromaniaK]

He forgot to turn it off of Gears-mode and onto Deathmatch.

Proof that you don't die in your sleep if you die in a dream.

That also disproves the Matrix Trilogy.

Way to go, Penis!!!

 

[XtromaniaK]

Well, actually, most people don't actually see themselves die in their dreams where they "die". That's where the theory comes from. You face death, and you feel it's near.. then you wake up. It's like the dream of falling and waking up before you hit the bottom, you don't actually see your death take place. You just know it happened.

I saw myself die in my dream. A girl I knew was dancing with me and then she grabbed an exposed, live conduit and jammed it into me. I died, naturally, and then I just layed there.

A conduit?

 

[WhatsHisFace]

A large electrical wire. Right into my ribs.

A couple days ago, I dreamed I got shot in my neck at point black range in Japan. I was in some guy's house watching tv and some dude busted through the door? Somehow by just grabbing my neck, I was able to make it back to New Orleans huh where I waited a couple hours in a gas station/hospital.

I then woke up, I don't know if I lived or died.

Hey, if a Mexican woman can give herself a cesarean operation and successfully deliver her own baby, you can keep yourself alive by holding your neck.

I know, right? That belongs on the wall of Human Endurance right next to the rock-climber who cut through his own arm with a pocket-knife.

Why do you want to have a relationship with racist girl.

THe trick is to talk to them a lot on the Normandy.

Thats all I did!!! I spoke to them at every interval to see if any new dialogue options come up....And I always spoke nice to them. When the game ended, I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I was gutted....

Saying that, I did get some loving from the asari consort (that oracle type asari) on the citadel, and I did say I only wanted to be friends with Liara...but only cause I wanted Ashley!!!

Just like in real-life, you gotta butter her up before you can taste the honey, pal. You have to be agreeable and accommodating with her in the conversations. Act too much like a pessimistic jerk or a hard-ass, kiss the bedroom fun goodbye.

 

[Purple Prancer]

Should've whipped the little Shepard out

Same deal here, lol.

Except I got there.

It was awesome.

I thought they were gonna start f**king after the council was like, "YOU ARE GROUNDED HER EBETCH!!" And Shepherd is sitting in the ship near the doc's office.

But then Joker comes on the intercom or whatever when they're about to suck face, and he's like, "Yo the guy wants to see you at the dancing place!"

UgHAHhghhHAHGH!!!!!

In a special Ad Watch column on the Xbox 360 marketing strategy this holiday season, Jeff Bell, Corporate Vice President of Global Marketing for the Xbox 360, has revealed to GameDaily BIZ that sales for BioWare's blockbuster role-playing game Mass Effect are better than perhaps many industry watchers were expecting.

Prediction market the simExchange pegged Mass Effect at around 328,000 units for November (the title released on Nov. 20). That said, in less than three weeks on the market, the game has more than tripled the predicted November total. "We've... seen a strong response to both Halo 3 sales with more than 5 million, and Mass Effect which has sold more than a million copies in less than three weeks," noted Bell, highlighting consumers' reaction to Microsoft's holiday push.

Bell did not specify whether the one million figure is a global data point or for the U.S. only (Update: it's a worldwide sales total). Nevertheless, one million sold in under three weeks is a fantastic start and yet another reason for Microsoft to do everything in their power to keep the franchise exclusive to Xbox 360.

While Microsoft holds the exclusive publishing rights to the first Mass Effect, Electronic Arts' purchase of BioWare/Pandemic means that EA now holds the rights to the valuable IP. Microsoft has said multiple times since the acquisition that "we'll be talking to EA and BioWare in the weeks to come." Whether or not an exclusivity deal can be reached is anybody's guess, but with one million sold already Microsoft just got more incentive.

Mass Effect = Million seller.

MS will undoubtedly keep their publishing deal with Bioware now.

Mass Effect 2 = PS3 bound.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Microsoft has a three-game-deal with Bioware though. Despite being bought by EA, Bioware is still contractually bound to the deal. If Microsoft wants to keep publishing them, they will.

 

[GFreeman]

Game 2 = Mass Effect 2

PS3's big release that same week = Mass Effect 2 - Special Edition. Look for it.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

PS3's big release that week will be the 80,000 seller, Uncharted 2: Wasted Fortune

 

[GFreeman]

80,000 ain't that bad considering the number of consoles out there...

 

[WhatsHisFace]

The Xbox360 did 80,000 for Blue Dragon in Japan alone. Japan. Where they only have like, two consoles.
