Today, in Mass Effect 2, I was given a mission to infiltrate a Merc team looking to apprehend the dangerous Sniper Archangel (!) but before I could leave on my mission I was poisoned by a Bartender, convinced a Turian to take out said Bartender, and then got to dance a little jig with an alien to some interstellar Techno.

Gotta love ME2...!

By the way, a friend sent me this link a few days ago - http://www.1up.com/news/gallery-cosplayers-videogames

It is 1up's latest bad cosplay gallery, but they've upped it a bit by taking video game cosplayers and inserting them directly into pictures from the game. One half of me is a little insulted, since costuming, even with a good costume, takes a lot of courage, and I think this a total cheap shot. On the other hand, some of these costumes are absolutely awful and are worth a good laugh.

I'm not entirely sure. I'd give her a 70% chance of being female. There's a certain type of cottage cheese on those legs that suggest "female" but that face says something else.
