Hey! that bank had alot of money in it!

was that the episode where supes, green lantern and wonder woman combined into one entity to have the ability to escape from the black hole?

Yep. I believe Wonder Woman also flew the invisible jet in circles around a space shuttle so fast that it became a planet, thus gaining gravity and allowing it to escape the black hole.

It's my favorite episode, simply for the sheer ballsiness of its no pasaran, line-in-the-sand defiance of basic logic and elementary science.

I love that show :) probably for similar reasons.

I do like the idea of a rational construct becoming irrational... But I can also understand it coming off as goofy depending on how it was executed.

I went for the spoilers because I seem to be in a mode where anticipated game is somehow equivalent to being bad, and can't bring myself to pick up anything that people seem to like. I can't say that I get it.

So Shepard wins again, amirite?

It's an excellent game, it's just that the last boss rather undermines the I-can-take-this-universe-seriously aspect that I loved so dearly.

I mean, they put in like a paragraph's worth of dialogue just explaining the FTL communication link and why it's impractical for widespread use. (Quantum entanglement; single bit bandwidth, need a matched pair for every pair of locations.) A good explanation, that I actually can buy.

They lavish that kind of love and attention on the underpinnings of the world, and then it turns out the sleeping gods of Ry'lyeh are using us for handicrafts? The main boss is in danger of mistaking me for Sarah Connor?

Shepard doesn't necessarily win, by the way. If you go out of your way to avoid sidequests, it's actually possible for the entire crew of Normandy to perish except Joker.

Which I thought was brilliant. I liked how the characters in your party reacted throughout the storyline. Made them seem more alive.

Especially when your scientists sings "I'm the very model of a modern major general".

A pity I bought the damn thing on steam, and now I can't play it again.

At least it is turning out to be -far- superior to dragon-age. Now there is a game with diminishing plot returns.
