Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0

[Mazder]

Its hard for me to give you an answer Mazdar, because I dont really consider myself a part of the migrant fleet in this metaphor.

Rather, i feel we have landed on a home, and i am a humble monk of the sanctum.

Blessings of Smut be upon you.

Okay, well what would be the place you'd call "home" for us. Doesn't NEED to be a name but a feeling attached to the concept of home.
That can also be applied to a ship name.

[TTTX]

Something that translate into Outcast in the quarian langue.

Wouldn't that be Vas Nedas?
Family of Nowhere?

Or Nar Nedas?
Children of Nowhere.

So it'd be Clan Zorah vas Nedas. If applied tot he clan name.

Seems fitting considering our history as Clan Zorah.

[TheodoricFriede]

If i recall correctly, thats actually a super offensive term for exiled quarians.

Just an FYI.

You are right, Golo from the ME Ascension was a quarian exile who got called that after he betrayed the fleet a second time.

[Dragaros]

Okay, so if we were to have our own ship in the Flotilla, what would we name the ship?

Now this is a group ship name, so the most popular will be chosen, as long as it's the most fitting for the ME universe. No "MFS Dinkleberg" or MFS Cockwang".

I ask for....reasons.
Of an arty nature.

You mean if we were quarians and we had to pick a ship to serve on after Pilgrimage? Does it have to fit the "tone" or "personality" of our group? Evoke our group history? Or just any name as long as it works in the ME universe? Is this for a group banner or something?

Are you looking for something like these:

Alexander
H. G. Wells
Schrödinger
Okinawa
Verdun
Kilimanjaro
Taera
Rava
Exiles' Oasis
Prodigal's Return

Or something less serious:

StarBattle Galactic
Krypton
Occam's Razor
Saitama's Fist
Geiger’s Counter
Murphy's Law
Benjamin’s Button
Impeachable Offense
Reckless Abandon
The Lying Bastard
The Crooked Finger
Ragnarok’n’roll
Goh’Fuk’Yu’Sef
Dem'Hipz
Daat'Azz
Dayum

Mainly to fit the tone for us and our place in the ME'verse, if we had one/if we were a bunch of crazy quarians on a ship in the Flotilla.

The more one word, non-innuendo ones will fit best.

And yeah this is for one banner design.

Or at least an expansion on one.

How about just nar Terra or something? Last time I checked that's the planet we're still on lol

*listens to story synopsis*

Boooooriiiiing. Uninspired.

[Alienmorph]

"For the first time in the series"

It's only TWO guddamn games, one of which is not even released yet!

And gotta love how we're supposed to be hyped at when a game brings back some gameplay mechanic or some core kind of content THAT USED TO BE PART OF EVERY VIDEOGAME SINCE THE BEGINNING OF VIDEOGAMES.

Can't wait for SW: BattlEAfront 2 to try to make us pumped because it has two more maps and heroes at launch than then first game did.

My go-to mock quarian name is always Sheol, which is the closest approximation to "hell" in Hebrew.

Its more like Oblivion though.

Enjoyed TF for what it was. Kept me interested for a little while. Nothing to write home about but fun in short bursts. Community didn't last as long as EA had hoped for but it is what it is in this day of gaming. Hell some communities die off in a matter of weeks of a release, so I suppose they should feel lucky with this one. Being a multiplat now should help.

[NCLanceman]

You like DOTA 2, right? Of course you do.

It really puts us in perspective, huh?

You know full well what line I'd quote for this. It goes unsaid.

Also reddit's down for emergency maintenance, which is both funny, and also curious.

A couple of months ago I posted that I finished Sword Art Online re Hollow Fragment on the PS4. 285 hours. Well I put 90 more hours into it grinding trophies (ugh) and finishing different endings for characters and what not and it still warrants another play through, which I can do with my previous level, just like ME series. Tonight I hopefully get to start SAO: Lost Song. Reviews are mixed, stating it's more for people who are already invested in the characters and story, which is absolutely me all the way. So I cant wait to start it and post about finishing it six months from now. (smiley face)

They also have a third one coming out soon, Hollow Realization, I think. Squee!

I've put 434 hours into Mass Effect 2, my high point for the series.

You're at 375 with SAO.

So is it fair to say the franchise has you hooked?

[Hackett923]

Paradox left this on their forum today. If you enjoy both their games and RPGs, have a look.

I have a fondness for the name "Arcadia." IMHO, it passes as a Quarian ship name. I used it for the ship my OCs fly on. And it's the name of one of my favorite songs.

Been trying to find a good ship model in SFM so I can animate with it, but I'm limited to some seriously Low-def ships. Homeworld 1 (original, not remastered) level of detail. Like ten polygons and a 100 pixel texture. boo

I saw TeamFourStar play Hollow Fragment a few days ago. I...was not impressed.

Yup. Saw the anime and loved it all. Could they have made changes and told the story differently, yes. Could they have made the original arc way longer and not included the second story arc, yeah. But I loved the characters with Lizbeth and Sinon on top (he he he) and the game gave me a chance to explore the relationships between the characters more than the anime could, or main canon would allow. For instance, I thought Kirito should have hooked up with Liz and the game allows me to do just that.

I wonder how many people will say it's shit simply because it's Bastion.

Man, for some reason, I lost all energy around 10 PM last night. Didn't even make it to my fourth beer, but I was nodding off as if I had pulled an all-nighter. Strange, but I was out cold for 8 hours straight, which is unusual for me. Normally get about 6-7.

This better not be old age kicking in.

Overwatch servers were recently updated from 20hz/60hz receive/send to 60hz/60hz. This means that what you see on screen should more closely resemble what the server is seeing (I think).

I'd like Overwatch to do a few things;

1) Remove the preorder skins from the skins list.
You already have shit dangling before me I can't get, those of which are at least somewhat available, these skins aren't, so fuck off.

2) An Origins upgrade.
I'd like to unlock the few skins I don't have, I'm willing to pay, but not £45 for them by way of buying the entire origins game, they're not worth that.

3) Something to gain lootboxes a little faster. One every level is excruciating.

Excellent! That was one of my bigger complaints with the game. They actually had set up a custom client for tournament games that were at 60, and it seemed to run far better, so other than natural ping issues, this should be a marked improvement too.

The real Metroid game is coming.

Ive been saying this for a while, but i feel it in my bones. I can tell when Nintendo is working on something in secret.

[Alienmorph]

All we've got for now is a meh-looking spin-off and a Cease and Desist for an harmless remake of the second game of the series.

So I sure hope you're right.

To be fair, that "Harmless remake" was just a color version of a game they are currently selling, and was using built in emulation software.

It pretty much was Piracy, and while i dont care too much about that, it was ACTIVELY cutting into Nintendo profits.

Its like taking a movie in the theaters, putting a filter on it, and distributing it for free. You really cant do that.

[Alienmorph]

I don't know how much money they think they'd be making with a port of a GAMEBOY game, and how much money a thing only the very hardcore fans (that would also most likely buy or already own the official version of it) would know about could make them loose in terms of profits.

If they want to be butthurts about it, that's their legal right and nothing can or should change that. But it still feels like a very petty thing to do, at least in this particular case.

[TheodoricFriede]

Honestly i think it had less to do with the fact that it was their IP, and more the fact that it was apparently using actual emulation software.

It was briefly explained to me, and i dont understand it, but that was a much bigger deal.

They usually aren't as bad as people make them out to be about that sort of thing.

I would, however, like to point out that this was a project that was talked about for a long time. Nintendo could have pulled the plug any time, and the chose AFTER it was released, not before.

Im just saying. Someone was intentionally not doing their job.

I want to be blown away. I loved the Prime series and would enjoy a similar take. Now if they went back to the way Super Metroid was back in the day I will line up and throw my money at Nintendo's face. I played SM a couple years ago again after so many years and I was still taken by it.

A man can dream.

[TheodoricFriede]

NX is coming next year, and they are going to push first party very hard in at launch and near launch.

Like i said, i feel it in my bones.
