Glass Ass: The OFFICIAL JGlass Thread

At the time, yeah it seemed the right thing to do. After you fight two or three enraged Krogen in a row, you have a hard time blaming him. He seems to show some remorse over it though, which is an interesting dynamic to me.

Because he knows it was a terrible thing to do to any alien race. And due to cirumstances changing with the Reapers and all, he could fix it. And he did with so much valour, excellent character. The Tuchanka mission in ME3 is my favourite.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

If you ever get the chance, go back and romance Jack in ME2. The story you learn is honestly pretty sad

 

[Ming]

I don't agree with that, but I understand why from a Salarian and Turian standpoint it seems like the only reasonable option I'm of the, "you made your bed, now you have to lie in it," point of view. Then again, I suppose things worked out for the best as the Krogan are now thriving and are lead by a guy that wants peace.

Thank goodness it was Wrex in charge for me, if it was Wreav I'd have certainly thought twice about curing the Genophage.

I romanced her in my second playthrough, what exactly are you talking about? Is it about her two "really good friends"?

 

[JGlass]

I don't have him on any of my fantasy teams, so fuck him

Well fuck you too then.

I agree that Liara was quite boring in the first game, but her turn to the dark side in Mass Effect 2 is fucking brilliant. Every character greatly improves in ME2. Goes from being a boring old Prothean archaeologist to a cold, calculating information broker. It was nice to see Jack turn normal somewhat in the third game, after what Cerberus did to her. Her and Miranda's rivalry is just pure class from BioWare.

Yes, Liara improves vastly in 2 and 3. She really plays the naive child role in ME1 which is cute, but sometimes obnoxious. She's much more assertive in the latter two games.

And the thing I love about Jack in 3 is that she really isn't all that different, she just has to put on an act for the sake of her students. Though it's very nice that she has somebody to love and take care of.

That must be disappointing, Mass Effect 1 was awesome. It has vastly inferior gameplay to 2 & 3, but was still awesome. The mission on Virmire is one of the best missions in the trilogy.

Virmire is an awesome mission, but it can leave you depleted if you don't play your cards right.

Spoiler

Though I don't know why anyone would want to sacrifice Kaiden instead of Ashley. Kaiden is a good second in command and a solid confidant and Ashley is a typical soldier and racist. Kaiden's also much more useful in ME3 than is Ashley.

Because he knows it was a terrible thing to do to any alien race. And due to cirumstances changing with the Reapers and all, he could fix it. And he did with so much valour, excellent character. The Tuchanka mission in ME3 is my favourite.

That's definitely in my top 5, but I think my favorite is the final mission on Ranoch. Between the boss battle and the unbelievably hard decision you have to make at the end it's just a fantastic fight.

Actually, I just remembered how much I struggled on my first play through on the Tunchaka mission. I kept trying to kill the never ending supply of Brutes that the Reapers kept dumping on the planet, I didn't realize you should just make a run for it until later.

Yes, she says that herself in her notes in ME3, about how childish she used to be when it came to the Protheans, speaking of the Protheans, Javik is another awesome character. Liara becomes a bit more like her mother which was a bit worrying to see at first. But Benezia wasn't all that bad in the end I suppose.

The whole swearing thing in ME3 with Jack is comedy gold. "SCREW YOU F-F-FLIGHT LIEUTENANT!", Jack certainly is one of the funniest characters in the trilogy for me. Which is so wierd, because of her history and her just being a pshychopath. But then I suppose every party member's dysfunctional in their own way in Mass Effect, apart from Jacob perhaps. I had to choose support roles for her students in ME3, Jack would probably have killed me and ended the game there and then otherwise.

Well, in my first playthrough, I was romancing Ashley (that turned out fucking awful by the way) so I was always going to save her. Then in my most recent playthrough I saved Kaiden and he's actually the much better character. He's so much more interesting in ME3 than Ashley is, although the stint they pull in ME2 seems like something that Ashley would do and not really Kaiden's sort of thing. But in ME3 he definitely gives you the "this is it" feeling as the game wears on, which is great.

That's definitely in my top 5, but I think my favorite is the final mission on Ranoch. Between the boss battle and the unbelievably hard decision you have to make at the end it's just a fantastic fight.

Rannoch is also amazing, 'tis in my top three. The other two being Tuchanka in ME3 and the Suicide Mission in ME2. Taking down the Reaper and feeling like a badass then having to make that horrid decision so quickly was just thrilling.

Yes, she says that herself in her notes in ME3, about how childish she used to be when it came to the Protheans, speaking of the Protheans, Javik is another awesome character. Liara becomes a bit more like her mother which was a bit worrying to see at first. But Benezia wasn't all that bad in the end I suppose.

Javik is a good character in a real way in that he's a huge disappointment. You find a real Prothean and you expect it to be this noble alien that is a scientific and historical genius with answers to all of your questions. Then you find out his race were imperialistic monsters that force everyone else in the galaxy to either assimilate or die, and Jarvik himself knows very little about his own culture's history other than how they operated.

He's awesome to talk to though. His senses are fucking crazy cool, and his opinions about the modern space age can be anywhere from thought-provoking to hilarious. My favorite part is when you first meet him and he says something about Salarians being lizards.

Liara: I believe they're amphibians.
Jarvik: ...in my time they ate flies.

Pure hilarity.

I also always wondered why they chose to gave him an African accent. I wonder if it's a reference to the origin of man. We originated from the African content, and the origins of our advanced space travel is Prothean. That or they thought an African accent would be less silly than a Scottish accent.

The whole swearing thing in ME3 with Jack is comedy gold. "SCREW YOU F-F-FLIGHT LIEUTENANT!", Jack certainly is one of the funniest characters in the trilogy for me. Which is so wierd, because of her history and her just being a pshychopath. But then I suppose every party member's dysfunctional in their own way in Mass Effect, apart from Jacob perhaps. I had to choose support roles for her students in ME3, Jack would probably have killed me and ended the game there and then quote.

I didn't really see much humor in her in ME2, she was mostly just terrifying with moments of endearment, like after you do her loyalty mission. She's fantastic in ME3, though, easily the best former-crew mate you come across that doesn't board your ship (though Grunt gives her a run for her money).

Speaking of the crews in ME2 and 3, I thought it was a really nice touch than in ME2 they really set you up with the best of the best in terms of crewmates. You have the most powerful human biotic in the galaxy, an Asari Justicar, the doctor responsible for improving the genophage, the galaxy's greatest assassin, the deadliest sniper, the best Quarian tech, and a perfect Krogan.

In ME1 you really don't have any elite squad mates (Tali and Garrus were still honing their craft), and besides Tali and Garrus, EDI is really the only truly elite squad member, and that's because she's programmed to know like, everything.

I thought it was a nice touch that you're able to acquire all these unbelievably powerful allies through Cerberus, but doing things above board through the Alliance prohibits you from finding these powerful, but dangerous allies. This is especially apparent through the two DLC crew members in ME2, the galaxy's greatest thief and the guy who formed Eclipse. Not exactly the type of characters you want hanging out on the Alliance's best ship.

But in ME3 he definitely gives you the "this is it" feeling as the game wears on, which is great.

Spoiler

Kaiden is a better character than Ashley in almost every way. Ashley has her things that make her interesting, no doubt, but of all the characters you get to know (including people like Treynor, Aria, Victus, etc.) she is among the least interesting.

Rannoch is also amazing, 'tis in my top three. The other two being Tuchanka in ME3 and the Suicide Mission in ME2. Taking down the Reaper and feeling like a badass then having to make that horrid decision so quickly was just thrilling.

It's hard not to like the suicide mission. The final mission (before the boss battle anyway) in ME1 is fantastic as well, as is the final mission in ME3 (before the painfully slow part, which is still good but it doesn't require much skill obviously).

That's another huge credit to the ME series, all of their final missions are fantastic and have a feeling of finality to them. Skyrim's final (main storyline) mission left me wanting more, but after any of the ME final missions you can't help but feel relieved and accomplished.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

I was looking at my fantasy teams. I'm in that weird place where I'm getting my ass handed to me right now in all of them, but my best guys are all playing in the Sunday prime time game or Monday night. I hate checking the score and seeing I'm losing by 40 points, but I still have 4 or 5 guys yet to go.

Also I was wanting to look up Alex Riley's real name for some reason, and ended up finding a bunch of pictures of him smiling. Fuck him and his stupid smile, I don't understand why people want him pushed.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Oh and this too

 

[justinsayne]

But...but... he's got like a totally awesome theme!!! Why wouldn't you want him pushed!!!

 

[Richard Blonoff]

But...but... he's got like a totally awesome theme!!! Why wouldn't you want him pushed!!!

Maybe if they pushed him off a cliff

 

[justinsayne]

For the record I wouldn't mind seeing A-Ry stuck in a Tag team with Ziggy & pushed... right out the door of a airplane as it's flying over an ocean... without parachutes (it'll make it easily for Ziggy to sell the landing )

 

[justinsayne]

I benched Turner this week thinking NO would get out to an early lead & just run the ball alot in the second half, giving Ingram a bunch of yds. & fantasy pts. Turner currently has 16 pts. Ingram ended today with 1.. fucking 1, 1 fucking pt., mother fucking 1! fuck the Saints, & Fuck their run game!

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Never trust the Saints' run game other than Sproles since he can do a little bit of everything.

My Fantasy Recap
1. Fuck Josh Freeman. You can only get Vincent Jackson ONE fucking catch. I gave you a pass last season since you were good the year before. Now, I'm starting to wonder. Pick your fucking game up.

2. Fuck the Bears' defense or fuck the Rams' offense. Couldn't run the ball worth for shit.

3. Fuck me for not starting Nate Burleson but I actually thought Carolina was going to do shit Thursday night. Shows how wrong I was.

4. You fucking spit the bit today, San Francisco. The Giants' defense, which I benched, gave me 18 points. You gave me 4.

Now, on to my two ESPN leagues. Starting with The Muffin Stumps.

1. My team did pretty well and I still have Aaron Rodgers. However, fuck the Saints' defense for letting Jamaal Charles go bat-shit crazy and fuck Maurice Jones-Drew.

And last, but not least, Kramerica Industries.

1. David Wilson, your ass will be gone tomorrow. Thanks for coming.

2. Brent Celek sure hasn't done shit yet after he did last week. Fuck the Eagles.

3. Fuck David Wilson again.

I'm going to be 0-3 this week. There's always next week.

 

[justinsayne]

I'm on pace to win 2 of my 3 leagues this week, with one match-up still close & could go either way, I need Welker & Gronk each to have a huge game tonight against Bal. or I'm fucked, & Megatron will hand Thor Losers their first loss of the season.

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

Not yet, from what I hear this is the kinda a game that just sucks you in, so instead of starting it at like 11 pm, I decided to wait until the weekend.

I'm six hours in but it's been broken up into chunks here and there so I feel like I'm not getting the full experience.

Pssh, You're tied for first buddy, & at some point we have to play eachother, & I have no intention of losing a fucking Spirit Squad... besides you have to face the dreaded Dwayne Bowe Dash this week, & they... are...



Which one are you talking about, 1 or 2?

2

That moment when the girl you're interested in at the party casually slips that she has a boyfriend into conversation .



I thought it was a riot.

If it means anything, before my lady friend and I got naked, she was into someone else when I was into her.

The secret is to kill the other person so you move up a spot.

This morning I woke up, looked at the clock, happily saw it was 3:33 am because that meant I still had time to sleep more before I had to get ready for school. But then I realized IT'S SATURDAY AND I CAN SLEEP IN! But then I woke up four hours later and couldn't sleep anymore. I made grilled cheese with pumpkin spice and kissed my bro on the forehead to annoy him.

How'd you guys get up this morning?

Blowjob. I won't say any more than that so Yaz can make a joke about me giving and not receiving. You're welcome, Yaz.

With creative things on my mind....



Im thinking of getting a character together for WZCW and giving it a shot.


This guy is an un-employed stunt man that hasnt worked since the early 80's. Worn out jean jacket, big moustache (Rick Rude style) and completely lost in the times. He tries his hand at 'fake' wrestling until a job in Hollywood opens back up, but soon learns its not as fake as he thought.

He is scared of technology and still carries one of the big ass brick cell phones. He carries it around everywhere, waiting for a call from his agent to come in that never does. I mean everywhere- even in the ring during matches, he stops the fight to answer the phone. He even goes as far as taping it to his head during some matches because 'bluetooth is dumb and gives you ball cancer'.


Kind of a cross between Ron Burgundy and Rick Rude. It could be a platform for some great comedic moments and Im working out the details.

I see no flaws in this plan.

So after seeing, Dredd, eating some pizza,talking to my mom on the phone for about 45 mins. & then taking a 2 hr. nap, I think I'm ready to get started on some Mass Effect 2... assuming this damn game ever finishes installing....

Longest load time ever.

I can't wait to talk to you about the characters in the game. Soooo awesome.

I'm playing Mass Effect 2! Finally I'll be able to hang out with the cool kids.

You're losing to a group of male cheerleaders? How embarassing.

Ingram ended today with 1.. fucking 1, 1 fucking pt., mother fucking 1! fuck the Saints, & Fuck their run game!

Tate landed me .6 of a point so it could be worse. Luckily, the rest of my team played like bosses.

 

[justinsayne]

I haven't touched ME2 yet today, been too preoccupied with football all day, though maybe after the Pats/Ravens I might pour a few hours into it before going to bed.

EDIT: DCU online still holds the record for longest install ever, took like 12 fucking hours for that shit game to finish installing.

 

[Freddy4190]

JGLASS!!

Is it better than that Marvel MMO?

 

[JGlass]

JGLASS!!

I saw the most recent post in this thread was from Freddy4190 and I was like, "Who the fuck is Freddy4190? Some troll?" Then I remembered, and I was like, "OH SHIT!"

That's like, exactly how it happened bro! It was like, woah!

Seriously though, how the fuck is it going Freddy?

 

[justinsayne]

Is it better than that Marvel MMO?

IDK, never played the Marvel MMO, not really a fan of MMO's in general

 

[justinsayne]

Can't beleive BZT 2012 is almost done

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

I was really hoping Afro would beat Link oh well, I don't see him beating Samus though. I predict a Iron Man vs Samus and Wolverine vs Hulk or Goku finals.

 

[The Crock]

FLASH IS ELIMINATED!!! YEEEEEEES!!!

 

[GI Cake]

FLASH IS ELIMINATED!!! YEEEEEEES!!!

Unjustly, but hey, what are you going to do? Flash would have had a better chance against Juggernaut than Wolverine.
