i dont think 16 variations, but i believe it's 16 ways (described in that how to guide in the hints and tips spoiler thread)

as far as i know, the 3 you have is the 3 you get

ok, we know 3 endings

you keep say their are 5 endings...even Bioware says there's only 3...would you mind expanding on the other two Michael?

the initial article is a good find. now maybe fanboi's like myself will stop whining (except i'm not whining however...)

Knightshade, i caught 50Pack doing 350 in a residential neighborhood. if it isn't the speeding ticket, it's the DUI that'll get ya...

the one thing i dislike about Intel is the Price

i can pick up an i7 2700K (unlocked) for $370 around here (well i'd have to drive 45 minutes to Microcenter)

or i can pick up a AMD Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition (Unlocked) which is roughly the same as the i7 2700K for $130

what's with that?

i'm content with what i have

and Duck, the shelve your computer sits on looks REALLLY sketch

(just so ya'll know, this one is fake)

After an emergency dispatch from Planet Frankfurt had been called, i had been requested to the 1200 Block of Kartoffel Road in Karben, Planet Frankfurt. upon arriving at the scene, several Bloodguard Operatives had already arrived, trying to defuse the situation. Operative Rhonetaz had explained to me that a married couple had gotten into a domestic dispute.

According to Operative Rhonetaz, Mr Daniel Sanyomoto had been under the influence of cardamine at his arrest. From what i gathered, Mr. Sanyomoto had gotten into an argument with his wife about starting a new life in Omicron Alpha. she had refused to leave her home on the 1200 Block of Kartoffel Road, explaining she's not comfortable in such a hostile enviroment. She had also accused him of Outcast connections.

Mr. Sanyomoto had started to beat and verbally abuse his wife just before a neighbor had heard the commotion and called emergency services.

a Background check of Mr. Sanyomoto had revealed numerous accounts of drug trafficking and Pirate activites including, but not limited to:

- Breaking and Entering
- Grand Theft Auto
- Assualt of the First Degree
- Public Intoxication
- Disturbing the Peace
- Unauthorized use of accessibility parking spots

Mr. Sanyomoto was apprehended and taken to Planet Prophecy for further questioning on links to Outcast involvement and will be detained until further notice

Mr. Sanyomoto is facing up to 35 years in a CFPD Prison if his Outcast involvement is confirmed

The case is open until outcast involvement in confirmed

hopefully i can get this server back on track!

{LP}50Pack was pulled over for speeding in in a Residential Zone. He was clocked doing 350 over in an 80km/h zone. Upon pulling him over and asking for his license and registration, his eyes were bloodshot and the smell of rum was about him. 50Pack had been drinking and failed to acquire a Designated Driver.

When asked for him to step out of his spacecraft, he refused to do so (claiming he'll lose consciousness due to the lack of oxygen). I told him in that case, he can follow me down to Station Hope to process him further. After he refused to do so, i mentioned he could come down to the station in a body bag as an alternative. he quickly complied.

His charges are as follows:
- Speeding in a residential area
- DUI
- Failure to Comply from orders of a public servant

Bail was posted at 5 million. {LP}50Pack paid and was free to go.

The case is now Closed due to bail being paid.

hey man, you did enough for this sever as well as put enough blood, sweat, tears, credits and time into making CF what it is now

Granted i've been away for a while, your post is enough justification to deserve a break and a rant...rants are good occasionally as they can de-stress any tension (as well as get a point across)

we've all had issues with PX or a member of PX at one point in time. maybe it just seem's Daywalker is a drama-magnet

this same shit happened when CFPD got banned...strangely enough, DW had been guilty in some fashion then as well (back then he was known as Kermit)

your commentary, Shockwave, wasn't dickish. you were just getting a point across

Purgatory was a prison ship wasn't it? as well as a nightclub?

personally, as much as i'd bang an Asari hooker, i'm afraid of what weird STDs i might get...

more than likely people will be outraged at the fact they'll need to pay for the new ending DLC...if there is one...

however conflicting fanboi-dom will force those to purchase the DLC. "I dont want to pay for a new ending, but i HAVE TO see what they did...i mean...i REALLY dont want to pay....but i'll never know!" and they end up spending $10 bucks for an even shittier ending....

quick...someone anti-jinx it!

not sure what you mean by "strong" but here's my rig + speedtest (local and Germany server tests)

AMD Phenom II X4 840 @ 3.2Ghz - $60 (OCed to 4.0 before the thing started to blue screen w/o water cooling)
HIS Radeon HD 6670 1GB DDR3 PCI-E X16 - $100 (good thing it doesn't require external power)
Patriot 8GB DDR2 kit (2x4GB) - $140 (DDR2 is getting expensive these days)
Antec 400w PSU (it's an antique. have to use 4-Pin Molex->Sata power adapter)
NZXT M59 Mid Tower - $60
ASRock 770DE+ Mobo - $60 (Crossfire ready, but nothing further than 4000 series ATI..but it has support for AM2/AM2+/AM3 CPUs which is nice)
820GB of HDD space (1x500GB, 1x250GB, 1x40GB 1x30GB.) - $70 (just for the 500GB)

total cost-ish $490

it can run BF3 on Max settings native resolution (1360x768) at a comfortable 30-40 frames. only minimal graphical glitches when i do this, but since they are a nuisance i dont...it just proves i can run BF3 at max settings...

Speed test from Denver, Colorado to Frankfurt, Germany

only play $40/month for that speed...

the only reason you want Afterlife is so you can go bang some Asari hotties....

when a mission starts and it hones in on the tradtional over the shoulder view...it reminds me of Time Crisis...i dont know why...it just does

speaking of decisions, i dont know about you, but i'm with the rest of the fanboi's when they say "wtfomfg!!!!" when it comes to previous decisions made in the previous games...

not sure how much of an impact we have on the rest of the Sci-Fi gaming community but we have enough people here and coming from TLR (i must know about this...been way too long) to potentially make an impact on Bioware saying "change the ending"

an easier way to explain: enough angry fanboi's and hate mail to Bioware may just get them to change something...just to shut us up. they just have to have community input, a massive internet wide vote and implement the best idea via popular vote...

just to shut us up...

yeah..so? ME3 has an option to make it no challenge whatsoever and play it like a movie (enemies are 3 hit kills or less with any gun/power, every conversation needs player interaction...)

but weren't you a little pissed off when Bioware said during the pre-release "every one of your choices in ME1 and ME2 will reflect certain thing in ME3 and the overall outcome of the Trilogy?" but in reality you have 1 of 3 choices that a star child has given you?

cool, you saved the collector base in the second game for example. lets say it's rumored that if you save the collector base, you get some cool superweapon that can destroy the Reapers in one hit (like that beam that takes out the SR-1)

but when mass effect 3 comes around, instead of a cool superweapon, you just get some lame war assets and everbody dies regardless...ya know in essence of a Shakespeare tragedy.

yes the game was challenging but the ending i got sucked!

this video explains my reaction to the ending
"NOOOOOOOOO" Compilation 2
- YouTube

anyway i'm going to get my EMS up...or attempt to

the other i disliked was the fact if you didn't do a particular mission, bad shit happened. i didn't do that mission where Cerberus placed a bomb on Tuchanka and the bomb ended up blowing up a major city/settlement. i thought Wrex was going to be like "FUCK YOU SHEPARD!!!!"

upon doing a google search of this issue..i found this nifty, handy dandy spolierrific guide

im thinking i'll try some of these

keep in mind this is a HUGE spoiler ending...like so massive it can divide by 0. Chuck Norris NOR Techno Viking can comprehend this article if you choose to read it, fine. if you dont, the only hint i will explain is that it's about the War Asset doo-hickey

so yes...the galactic support stuff has to do with the "perfect" ending

oh Bioware, why must you be so...frustrating?

that thing in the command war asset thing?

i never understood any of that...

not sure what EMS points are.

but i had my paragon bar maxed out and it still wouldn't give me the option

they completely ignored my post...which is fine by me i'd rather not get involved anyway (nor do i have any reason to)

personally this whole thing is a waste of OP-R8R's time, other admins time, and time not used on something productive (like bring Epic RP stuff to the table)

by no means am i speaking on his behalf, or anyone elses, but more placing myself in their shoes. If i was an admin and this was something that happened and got turned into a big to do, then yeah, i'd say "to hell with all this, so and so is banned because this is getting on my nerves"

dont think i have anymore to say on this...

since this is a spoiler forum i'm going to spoil away (that sounds dirty...)

but has anyone been able to unlock the last set up dialogue between Shepard and The Illusive Man?

i've heard that you have to select the paragon/renegade options (the options on the left) every time you talk to that indoctrinated fool (mars, Citadel on both accounts etc...) but haven't been able to confirm it.

my guess (and this is pure speculation) judging by his confusion on the Citadel before you light his ass up he was about to say "yeah, your right Shepard. fuck these Reaper fools!" and proceeds to destroy them without eliminating the Relays in the process...which kind of sucks.

however the fanboi's (including me) are hugely outraged by this. however i've heard the excues "well now we can't have a Mass Effect MMO!!!"

the difference between those fanboi's and myself (on this topic) is that IF an MMO were to be created (i'd jizz....a lot) you can still have the setting prior to the beginning of Mass Effect 1, however beyond the date of which the Prothean Ruins and the Charon Relay was disocvered...

Mass Effect takes place in 2183 and 2185...so put the MMO say 2173 and you'll be OK

but still, how the hell do you unlock the 3rd paragon/renegade option at the end of the game? (before your 1 of 3 choices that had nothing to do with the other 2 games)

Quote from spylegs

It's sad seeing ppl manipulating a game so they can lag, so they can script, maybe some to actualy pass that almighty server anti hack, there's nothing like impossible even on CF... never been anywhere not in the MMORPGs i used to play, i've seen enough bot type cheats , enough auto targets, enough scripts, enough payed monthly cheats which was updating from chronicle to chronicle, oh even those payed cheats i've seen them cracked by other smart guys

so your saying neither party cheats?

from what i gather of this paragraph, because you've been around the Multiplayer hacking world for a long enough time to say these guys aren't cheating?

i'm not saying you cheat now or have in the past (whether you have is your business and i recommend keeping that past private. it can cause problems...) but from what you have witnessed in various MMORPGs that DW or any of the people claiming they or another player hacking would be 7/10ths false (because there are ways to bypass the anti-cheat...not that i know how nor do i intend to want to know)

just to through a wrench in this whole thing i decided to add my opinion with some of this PX-CF drama

granted i did not comment on the PX ban situation, however i did comment on their hackusations of Cro

a post on the PX by me explains it

lawmac, did you play Flak88 a long time ago?

i mean like...< 3 years
