Miranda has plot immunity until the final battle itself. The most reliable way to kill her off is for her to be nonloyal and in your active party during the final boss fight. You can still do her loyalty mission if you do it before she and Jack have their fight, then side with Jack, causing her to lose loyal status.

...can't get ME2 to work reliably anymore; bluescreens most times I run it.  I blame running a non-Apple graphics card in a Mac Pro (though Witcher 2 didn't do it nearly as often and presumably was working the card harder).

Same problem when I run it under WINE.  Except also the music doesn't work.

(EDIT: Music works if I bypass the launcher and just run masseffect2.exe.  But it still crashes.  I guess on the plus side it seems to mostly wait to crash after I load my save, while Windows often crashes as soon as I Press Any Key at the start screen.  So maybe if I go back far enough on my saves I'll find something that doesn't crash.)

Phoenix New Times: Five Squadmates We'd Like to Have on Mass Effect 3

I don't expect I will be playing ME3 right away, inasmuch as I can't get 2 to run reliably and am concerned 3 would be the same.  (Plus my Windows drive is running low on space.)

Going to be talking about the From the Ashes DLC. It adds a squad member which has interesting implications.

SPOILER LINK
[spoiler]Well, I have to say that the Prothean Squad member is incredibly cool. How is he around? Obviously some sort of stasis, but even the top scientists with top tech of the entire Prothean Empire had to waste a ton of resources to live long enough to survive the reapers to create the small mass relay on the citadel? He says he was born after their homeworld was already a wasteland. They find him in stasis on a ship floating in space is my best guess? I'm glad I'm getting the collector's edition which gets it for free![/spoiler]

I'm not all that surprised by this turn of events, actually. It was bound to happen, really.

What does surprise me is the next video in the queue, though. Her... design is a little too 80's transformer, though.

EDIT: I think a better way of designing [spoiler]E.D.I. as a playable character would to be to give her a generic mech body and have it project a female-like hologram around it.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]It'll probably come up in the game "Joker, why does EDI look like a model? Surely she could have been made more combat effective with a bulkier design" and Joker will make the quip that he had a hand in her design and making her so incredibly sleek and aerodynamic. "You know, like the Normandy."[/spoiler]

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

New squad mate sounds Jamaican. Wonder if he plays steel drums.

I eagerly await his personal quest where Shepard must decide if he/she should let the dogs out

Still fightin'.  Crashes like crazy in Windows at this point.  Linux I actually had it sort of working in WINE but not quite.

The WINE version in the standard Ubu repos: runs, but mouselook isn't 360-degree; something to do with how X reads mouse movement.  I think it must stop at the edge of the window.  Additionally, I can't mouselook while running, which as you might expect is a problem.

From the WINE repos:

1.2 runs, but the picture disappears once I load my save.  Audio works, so it doesn't seem to have locked up; it just doesn't display.

1.3 runs but the keyboard and mouse don't work on the main menu screen.  Mouse pointer moves but doesn't highlight menu items; neither clicking nor keypresses work (though they work on the Press Any Key screen, and Alt-F4 still quits out even at the menu screen).

Looking into these various problems.  May end up having to roll my own.

(Also tried again to get my non-Apple graphics card working under OSX.  Still haven't had any luck but haven't given up just yet.  If I continue to have issues, I may install the Chameleon bootloader -- among hypothetical support for my graphics card, it'll let me use the 64-bit kernel and run Mountain Lion should I decide I actually want to do that.)

Japan's Dengeki Online is serializing the manga, which is titled "Teach me! Professor Mordin!". Drawn by manga artist Michi Michiru, the manga is set in a school and is designed to introduce the characters, their races, and provide background. Here, schoolgirl Liara swoons over the gym teacher, Shepherd, while Mordin claims out of a manhole, offering ignorant schoolgirls "supplementary lessons".



What the fuck.

English translation.

Mostly an ad, I think, but they have somehow made Tali even more adorable.

...so who wants "Calm down you two, he's not a molester.  He's just a violent krogan." as an avatar?

...anyway, I like it better than the Dark Horse ME comics.

That would be pretty disingenuous of me.
