Mass Effect 2 *spoilers around pg 29/30*

[Polysorbate80]

For ME, all the Hanoi puzzle needed was the blinking Renegade interrupt during it. Really, all anything needs is a blinking renegade interrupt.

ME3 developers -- THERE IS STILL TIME.

"You will need to reconfigure the inputs to shift the resource allocation from the first tier to the third, but cannot allow top-level power flows to " *renegade interrupt* "Fuck this shit" *gunshot, problem magically solved*.

Oh my god. I won't be able to look at the Indiana Jones vs. Cairo Swordsman scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark without seeing the Renegade interrupt pop on screen just before Indy shoots.

IIRC, that was a "renegade interrupt" of sorts; that was supposed to be a fight scene, but Ford was sick and didn't want to do it so he talked Spielberg into the shooting scene instead...?

[LK]

Er, yes. And what I would love to see is to someone redo the scene and add the Renegade Interrupt prompt to the scene for Meme-worthy lulz, because that's *exactly* what it was. Like if someone wanted to make a new funny gif or something. I lack the means, hence why I verbalize the idea.

[TripleDES]

I'll just leave this here...

Wrong side of the screen. 

[TripleDES]

Oh shi!

--edit: No, the renegade interrupt videos on Youtube have them on the left, too.

[Ingmar]

My memory is betraying me, I could swear it was paragon on the left and renegade on the right. QQ old age.

EDIT: Aha, no, I'm not crazy, it is on the right on the Xbox and the left on the PC! Weird.

[Special J]

That's awesome.

[Fabricated]

Kinda hoping ME3 does extremely well so they can take the IP and do something cooler with it. Take out the almost JRPG element where we have to kill some sort of God every game and make it more about political intrigue.

It's on left so it's under left click so it's the same like left click = shoot in the rest of the game. I think.

Next step for Mass Effect after 3 would be MMO property.

Maybe I am reading too much into this but I think that was bleeding scarcasm because what he is writing sounds alot like Dragon Age.  Maybe its just me but I think that trailer was a home run.  Just pure speculation but I will bet that scene occurs in the middle or end of the game.  I doubt very highly we will be seeing earth destroyed at the begining of the game.

Looked like an opening to me.  It had the "where's Shepard, we need a hero" vibe going to me.

As long as I can punch reporters in the face, ME3 is going to rock.

I did both of those, but I imagine it's too popular a meme now to leave out.

I'd say it's a slam-dunk. Even the NPCs are getting in on the act, as witnessed in the Shadow Broker's little video archive.

Thanks for inserting Tina Turner singing the Thunderdome theme in my head.

Oh thank God I wasn't the only one.

[Ingmar]

At least it wasn't Bonnie Tyler?

[TripleDES]

Whoa. Between making the crappy video yesterday and now, it got 20K hits.

[Furiously]

Maybe you have a future!

Yep. Take that guy's concept from Heavy rain. Jayden the Timecop with Virtua Goggles and Evidence-scanning gloves. The game turned to shit mid-way, but that detective sunglasses was something special. Really, really special. I mean it's so far in the future, right? Go for it Bioware, use your doctorate knowledge and spice stuff up aside from this 'new race enslaved to fight you' epicness that gets old.

Not sure if want to scour the galaxy for residues of alien fluids.

Let's see... How about a setting a few years before ME1?

 - Play as young, idealistic C-Sec recruit Garrus Vakarian, fresh from the academy.
 - Use your special VI-enhanced visor to analyse evidence and connect to the Citadel databases.
 - Solve exciting cases such as the breaking of a organ harvesting ring, a series of ritually murdered hanar and the mysterious disappearance of the new human ambassador from his own shuttle.
 - And of course: Will you be good cop or bad cop in the end?

I'd pay good money for that.

ME: Origins

Actually, I'd like one of those for the assassin character from ME2

[LK]

Whoa. Between making the crappy video yesterday and now, it got 20K hits.

I had a couple of notable friends check it out. ^^ After that, I guess it went viral.

They are right in that it isn't perfect but god damn is the core concept hilarious. ^^

Edit: DES, if you have the time, I'd polish it, add the Renegade Interrupt sound if you can help it.

I want to see Shepard go on set to a Live Studio news broadcast and punch the anchor.

[LK]

I just heard Bioware put it up on their ME2 Facebook page.

Not a  big enough...

[LK]

WE LAUNCHED A MEME DUDE!!!

[Morat20]

Well done. Who is buying the beer?

[LK]

I'm just stoked to see it take off. It could die tomorrow and it wouldn't matter to me. I got what I wanted out of it.

[kildorn]

that took off? haw!

[Reg]

Weird. I just looked at the Renegade Interrupt on youtube again and the interrupt symbol didn't appear. It definitely showed the first time I watched.

[bhodi]

That avatar, lorekeep.... wow.
