Re: [GB/Waypoint] Big Boy Season
I feel like Vinny is laying the lore on too thick for Alex in ME, but Alex knows Vinny and knows how into it he is so I'm sure they'll riff off it together. I could see other people getting annoyed with Vinny explaining things before the game does, but ME is a known quantity to most people now anyway.

Re: [GB/Waypoint] Big Boy Season
Alex's absolute bewilderment at how Exquisite Corps ended was such a great moment. It was a series that perhaps ran a tad too long, but boy did it end well.
Agreed about the Mass Effect lore from Vinny, though I feel like that'll almost certainly simmer down as the series continues, as Vinny already seemed increasingly self-aware about it in that first episode. Kinda on the same note, Alex being a pretty knowledgeable Star Trek fan has me thinkin' he's just as likely to point out similarities and stuff, which should be fun.
It's such a great idea for a series regardless since each game in the franchise has a lot to talk about and reflect on.

Re: [GB/Waypoint] Big Boy Season
I'm loving the HD texture pack they're using. I'll have to grab that if I ever pay the king's ransom EA wants for the Origin versions of the ME games.
Also this decryption minigame totally wasn't in the 360 version. I have no idea how it's supposed to work.

Re: [GB/Waypoint] Big Boy Season
Wow really? I had forgotten about the system but seeing it brought back memories for sure. Typically you just find a spot with no orange blockers and then just wait for the moment to zoom right to the centre when it's clear. There were very few times where I had to move in a layer and then around a bit and in again.

Re: [GB/Waypoint] Big Boy Season
Heh, I can't even remember the OG 360 version of that minigame at this point. I think it might've even been just a super simple number matcher? Or... pipes? I probably just smeared omni gel on everything.
Vinny + Alex + Mass Effect is a perfect combination and already becoming one of my favourite features just two episodes in.

Is it possible to have more than one conversation with Kaidan as a Femshep without him imprinting on you like a baby duck

Liara is just as bad for this when playing as FemShep, honestly. It's a pain.

Re: [GB/Waypoint] Big Boy Season
It's kind of a common trope in Bioware games, if you treat your crew with kindness they're like "Thor YES FUCK ME NOW!"
My ace flatmate will tell you about all the bioware relationships she ended up in just because she choose the friendly options. The more player-sexual the characters are, the larger the minefield.

Re: [GB/Waypoint] Search That Monkey
It's especially annoying in ME1 because there's so many unique Codex entries you can only unlock in dialogue, and getting to those right bits of dialogue often brings you perilously close to accidentally flipping the switch on a romance flag.
With Kaidan I kinda remember you can get all that info and still pull up before you hit the mountain on the romance path, but he gets super pissy as a result. Meaning come Virmire I often found myself flipping a coin between "space niceguy" and "space racist" when it's time to decide who gets to headbutt the nuke.
but at least ME gives you that out which is more than KOTOR ever gave you with Carth I think.

Re: [GB/Waypoint] Search That Monkey
Looks like I've got some catching up to do!
On the GB side, I didn't realise 'A Boy and his Blob' was a shitty old game, I thought it was new when that more recent version came out with the blob hugs.
