Glass Ass: The OFFICIAL JGlass Thread

[Bernkastel]

I've read that footy is pretty ridiculous.

 

[The Crock]

A common opinion among many foreigners is that American football or "hand egg" isn't a tough sport due to the amount of padding they wear. I can never tell if Remix is serious or being a trolly dick

It isn't hurling or or Aussie rules football but there are many dangers there.

I've had my fair share of injuries from football, the worst of which was a torn rotator cuff. Few things hurt as much as getting destroyed from your blind side and landing with your arm taking the brunt of the impact.

Does anyone else think CM Punk is the greatest heel ever or is my being a mark coming into play? Just after watching RAW earlier, he genuinely seems to hate everyone, and what he did to that little girl on his way to the ring was fucking hilarious. Yes, I know, that sounded wrong.

Watching Game Of Thrones again, and I can't help but like Jamie Lannister? What's wrong with me?

I'll get back to you on the ME post later as I don't really have the time to respond to that right now, but I will say you're wrong about CM Punk... for now. I don't doubt he could surpass some of the all time greatest heels, but for now at least Savage and Edge rank higher with me.

 

[Remix]

Pussy sport? I really hope you're kidding.

Half kidding. American football (padding or not) isn't a sport for *****es. However, cheerleading is actually pretty fucking dangerous. One of the bases fucks up and the flier's having a very unhappy landing.

I picked the wrong sport for comparison though. Football is the only sport in america considered more dangerous than cheerleading according to the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research. For the record, catastrophic means head and neck injuries.

It's because I'm British. And there's lots of dangers in cheerleading too. Like a 15 foot drop.

Yeah, that's what I meant by school.

Gotcha.

Yeah, asking how you hadn't followed me sooner. At least I think it was to me.

I sent that over a week ago.

He's baiting.

Partially.

Savage and Edge (especially Edge) were rockin' heels. What about Flair? He's an amazing heel. I liked JBL, too -- he turned it up during his run as WWE Champion.

If there is anyone that will overtake Tyrion as the best character, it is Jaime Lannister.

I'm looking at my roster for my Yahoo league and I'm going up against justinsayne. Looking at both our rosters (including our bench), he's projected to score 0.73 more points than I am.

Hey! I ordered Mass Effect 2/3 on Amazon. Don't spoil my shit!

Cancel your orders! The Mass Effect trilogy was just announced today and will be $59.99.

Speaking of this, I'm seeking oppinions from the Mass Effect faithful. I'm about ten hours in Mass Effect 2 & just completed the mission on Haven. Should I stop playing now and wait for the trilogy so I can get the full experience of playing all 3 games, or should I continue playing 2, eventually getting to 3 but probably never play 1?

Stop, wait for the trilogy and play 1. ME1 is arguably better than ME3 and adds a lot to the trilogy.

 

[JGlass]

It truly is. It's quite sad to find out what he wants to do after defeating the Reapers though, if you encourage him to touch the Memory Shard.

I actually haven't done that... never really interacted with him that much. I guess I'll have to add that to my To Do List in my next playthrough.

Yes. It did, Grunt's ultimate test. For the first time you see him whoop ass on his own without your assistance. Grunt surviving was BioWare proving people don't have to die to incur emotions in a war game of this scale. Even if people do die...

Absolutely. It was a proud moment for me to see Grunt stumble out of that cave. I helped him! I made him live!

I fucking hated Kai Leng.

I think it was his confidence that bothered me the most, though there was also the issue of how he seemed so cocky about how he beat Shepard when he never actually beat him without a ton of help from Cerberus.

Zaeed's total disregard for the lives at the oil refinery in his loyalty mission certainly surprised me, even if he was a mercenary. In my first ME2 playthrough I ended up choosing saving those lives over his loyalty and to be honest I don't regret it at all after finding out how little he's involved in ME3.

He's pretty much in Mass Effect 3 simply because he was in Mass Effect 2. I was kind of surprised to see him to be honest.

Samara's loyalty mission is in my top three with Mordin's and Jacob's. I kind of felt sorry for Morinth when finding out about her condition and that she had to die for not wanting to spend her life in a monastery. That was until I find out what she did to Nef. Jacob's loyalty mission totally surprised me, and is a reminder of just how twisted people can be, at any point in their lives, no matter how normal they may seem. His father's cowardice demanded retribution. I loved Kasumi, she's a lot like Garrus. And her adventures make her sound just like a female Robin Hood. Again I was disappointed by how she was used in ME3, thought they could have EASILY just thrown her in your party as a permenant party member. That would have been great.

Not sure how I'd rank loyalty missions, but Jacob's is definitely high. Grunt's is also awesome, especially if you managed to keep Wrex around and you take down the Thresher Maw. Miranda's is great because of how much you learn about her story which is, as previously stated, extremely interesting.

I know, I think our entire conversation was spoiler infested except for the part we actually spoiler tagged. Derp. Even though James has little (at least when you compare him to everybody else) depth, he still wasn't a bad character. Just one that wasn't necessary I felt, I'd replace him with Zaeed or Grunt as a party member without hesitation if it was an option. I always wondered about his relationship with Cortez, and just how that came about, but you don't find out. The thing is with Jacob that when you compare him to all of your other party members in ME2, you can't help but see him as little bit boring, but he's still a good character. I'd have replaced James with him in ME3 too. My bottom three party members in the ME trilogy is probably; Ashley, Jacob then James right at the bottom in that order although I'm probably forgetting somebody. I must remind you this isn't a bad thing, every character in Mass Effect has a good level of intrigue about them.

I think they do explain James's history with Cortez, though it's nothing spectacular. I think they both served in the Alliance together and were on a squad and became friends. I think it might be the humanist in me that just gets really excited that they have the stereotypical macho guy being best friends with the gay dude. I also like that the gay dude isn't stereotypical in any way and, other than one crying fit, is pretty fucking bad ass.

No judgement on your bottom 3, though. Mine would probably consist of the same 3 people but in a different order. Though if you could include Zaeed he'd definitely bump out Jacob.

Yes, fighting in Sovngarde certainly was a neat idea. The fight itself was just too easy, I like difficulty in games. For example: Retaking Earth in ME3 was difficult, and I loved it, because it SHOULD have been difficult. All that build up shouldn't give you a walk in the park, then Skyrim's main storyline (which I delayed for ages in an attempt build anticipation) ending did just that. For me, the Dark Brotherhood, College of Winterhold and Thieves Guild questlines were far better.

You want to talk about difficult? I chose Noveria as my first stop in Mass Effect 1, i.e. the level where Matriarch Benezia is the boss, i.e. if you aren't on a high level you're FUCKED. It took me hours to beat her. It was both amazing and unbelievably frustrating.

Stop, wait for the trilogy and play 1. ME1 is arguably better than ME3 and adds a lot to the trilogy.

Really? ME1 used to be my favorite, but I think ME3 is an all around better game. ME2 is definitely the best, though.

I actually haven't done that... never really interacted with him that much. I guess I'll have to add that to my To Do List in my next playthrough.

His views are probably the most interesting of your party members in ME3. His no-nonsense approach towards A.I. is also very intriguing. As you can imagine, he doesn't exactly get along with E.D.I. Mass Effect has always had a great deal of replay value, something which is very important in a game for me.

I think it was his confidence that bothered me the most, though there was also the issue of how he seemed so cocky about how he beat Shepard when he never actually beat him without a ton of help from Cerberus.

That, and what he does to Thane (in my first playthrough, I lost Miranda to him too), pretty much made him a dirtbag. Cerberus as a whole got on my nerves in ME3, constantly side-tracking Shepard with the Reaper War in full swing was irritating to watch. Breaking Kai Leng's sword with the Omni-Tool and stabbing him is one of my favourite moments in the entire trilogy.

He's pretty much in Mass Effect 3 simply because he was in Mass Effect 2. I was kind of surprised to see him to be honest.

I thought he should have had more to do. Would have enjoyed him in the party.

Miranda's trust in Niket being betrayed was unforseen. Considering she barely trusts anyone, the one guy she does trust betraying her was unlucky. The Krogans are quite amusing so going to Tuchanka was fun and seeing Wrex again was great, especially considering that he decided to do something for the Krogans, when he looked to have just accepted that his race would slowly die in ME1. Superb character development that comes full circle in ME3.

I think they do explain James's history with Cortez, though it's nothing spectacular. I think they both served in the Alliance together and were on a squad and became friends. I think it might be the humanist in me that just gets really excited that they have the stereotypical macho guy being best friends with the gay dude.

BioWare's approach to Cortez being homosexual was classy because nobody made a fuss over it, like no one should, and because it wasn't stereotypical as you said. James on the other hand...

I joke. James wasn't stereotyped that much, certainly not enough to annoy me.

I remember that battle, 'twas difficult. You definitely had more trouble with it than I did, but those Asari Commandoes shot me down more than once. Saying that I'd rather fight them than Banshees, fuck they scare the shit out of me, especially on multiplayer. At least on single player they make some sort of an entrance, on multiplayer they can be sneaky bitches.

Really? ME1 used to be my favorite, but I think ME3 is an all around better game. ME2 is definitely the best, though.

I do prefer ME3 to ME1. But I think it could be argued that ME1 is better, easily. I completely agree with you on ME2 being the best. That game is perfect.

Mass Effect has always had a great deal of replay value, something which is very important in a game for me.

I find Legion's views more interesting. That might be the Legion fanboy in me speaking, but between the fact that his singular decision will effect literally thousands of Geth, if not the entire population, makes everything he does more dramatic.

That, and what he does to Thane (in my first playthrough, I lost Miranda to him too), pretty much made him a dirtbag. Cerberus as a whole got on my nerves in ME3, constantly side-tracking Shepard with the Reaper War in full swing was irritating to watch. Breaking Kai Leng's sword with the Omni-Tool and stabbing him is one of my favourite moments in the entire trilogy.

It's SO frustrating that Cerberus is busy attacking you and the Alliance at every turn when the Reapers are slaughtering humanity in high numbers... but then when you find out what they're working for it all makes sense. It was a very well written scheme for the bad guys.

"This is for Thane you son of a bitch!" Fantastic stuff, and very rewarding if you play through most of the game as a paragon as Shepard very rarely partakes in acts of vengeance.

I thought he should have had more to do. Would have enjoyed him in the party.

Well, if Ashley is around you already have two heavily combat based characters, so I get why they didn't add him to the crew. As it is they supplied you with a pretty solid balance of combat, tech, and biotic based characters. Throwing Zaeed in the mix would throw off the balance.

BioWare's approach to Cortez being homosexual was classy because nobody made a fuss over it, like no one should, and because it wasn't stereotypical as you said. James on the other hand...

My feelings exactly on Cortez. The only thing special about him being gay is about how not special it is to anyone in the game at all. Things look pretty good in the future!

I remember that battle, 'twas difficult. You definitely had more trouble with it than I did, but those Asari Commandoes shot me down more than once. Saying that I'd rather fight them than Banshees, fuck they scare the shit out of me, especially on multiplayer.

Gah I wanna play multiplayer so bad! I never have. But yeah, of regular enemies Banshees are easily the worst. Easily. Brutes suck too, but luckily they're fairly easy to avoid if you use your squadmates as bait and find something to hide behind.

I do prefer ME3 to ME1. But I think it could be argued that ME1 is better, easily. I completely agree with you on ME2 being the best. That game is perfect.

After my first play through I actually had them ranked 1, 3, 2, but it became obvious on my second playthrough that the real order is 2, 3, 1.

I'm looking to get full blown drunk this weekend. I haven't been in a while (since OBX maybe), and I've been feeling a little blue and stressed out lately, so I need to cut loose.

Last weekend I made my Windex Cocktail for my roommates and friends, and they fuckin' LOVED it. I'm gonna make it again this weekend, maybe make it a little stronger too. I'm thinking of maybe picking up a few other things and experimenting this weekend.

You have a culinary mind Theo, any suggestions?

Dip your balls in the cocktail. Can't go wrong.
