I think that story is permanently burned into my brain

So I'm trying to play this, despite being told not to



It's as hard as its reputation suggests, but it's not as "un-fun" as people say. I'm having a great time getting to know the Town and all the people in it. Just...be ready to read a whole lot if you do play. All the actors in this game are quite verbose.

Mordin is probably the hardest member of the crew to keep alive.

Thank god for reloading saves.

Yeah...Bioware's romance dialogue is extremely...forward for my taste.

Jacob's romance dialogue is memeticly bad. They don't even carry it over to 3.

I mixed up Samara's recruitment mission with her loyalty mission. You'll see.

You can do a lot of the DLC in the post-game. A couple of them are meant to be played that way.

I love Samara too! Some people say she's boring, but they're wrong. You can recruit Morinth instead; I don't know why you would, but you can.

I really like Chip and Ironicus's Let's Plays. They're planning to do one of FF7R when they finish Mario Odyssey

They really go the extra mile to show off all the little bits of a game.

It's Gundam, so their feelings on "are women people?" vary wildly from series to series.

Hathaway's getting his own OVA series soon, hoping he has some character growth...

I feel sorry for Quess. I still don't like her, but I guess I pity her? She's 13 and almost certainly has some kind of diminished empathy (more some than normal 13 year-olds) I know she'd hate the pity.

And, yes, Char and Amuro are dead. This was meant to be the grand finale for the main UC Gundam story. Although, Nanai is pregnant, so a couple of Char's descendants are still kicking around the 'verse.

You would think people would stop doing this whole Cyber-Newtype thing after seeing all the detrimental side effects to their mental state, but maybe that's one of the most realistic things about the show. Juries still out on whether some of Char's more unstable moments are a result of him asking Nanai to enhance him in order to beat Amuro, or if he just wanted Amuro to be the one to kill him.

All this over Newtypes and they just turn out to be a quirk of genetics, a beneficial mutation for those that live in space.

You would not believe the number of circular message board debates I've had with people who think Char is right, or at least justified. "He trying to help the people of Earth!" Sometimes, characters lie, or think they're in the right when they're not. Char has been explicitly compared to Hitler in this movie, particularly his charisma. (CHARisma? I'll see myself out) Quess was meant to be a swipe at villain fangirls.

The show after this one is Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, a 6-episode OVA that takes place on the home front during the One Year War, although I wouldn't blame you if you wanted a break from Gundam.
