Mynock.

Mynock & Friends defeated Steve aboard his peace-symbol shaped starship, which was transmitting a "turn everyone into a jedi" signal or whatever ridiculous thing it would be called. http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/2307/finalbattleship2.png The final punchline I had in mind prior to the game's launch was that the story would explain why there are so many damn jedi all of a sudden. For this thread, I had no real plans. Fluke was going to hunt Mynock for a while and then they'd become friends for some reason and they'd go on adventures I hadn't figured out yet. Had a couple redesigns in mind but never got around to finishing them: http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/4990/charrefs.png They might make a cameo in VANCOUVER QUEST. As for now, though, I just can't afford to pay for a game I'm not playing. Sorry, dude. If I ever end up back in these parts, I might pick it back up New Game + style. I'm around on Steam and Tumblr if anyone wants to get in touch. In Memoriam: http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/2505/recap1n.png

I cancelled my subscription, so I won't be able to post here anymore in a few weeks' time. The game just hasn't held my attention enough to keep the sub running. That means I will not be able to continue this thread. Sorry, everyone. I will, however, be making a thread on Bioware Social Network or somewhere else at some point. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4tdfjgtAj1rsmobpo1_500.png Vancouver Quest If I start it before my sub runs up I'll let you guys know.

Damn that's p. good, though. Better than I can do. I propose a merger so I can pawn illustrations off on you and I can stick to the stupid quips.

Chill, I'm drawing a children's book about Javik to get Mass Effect 3 out of my system. http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/lankist/20752419350/1/tumblr_m26vjuCJB61rsmobp It's kind of hard to write Star Wars jokes when all I can think about is what a terrible buzzkill Javik would be. I'll come back to this eventually. Probably when that legacy patch comes out and/or I actually get time to play it. To be honest, I sort of ran out of material for this one because I haven't actually played the game in weeks.

Eventually. In the meantime, Liara T'soni: Worst Information Broker Ever ME3 spoilers abound http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/lankist/20307913594/1/tumblr_m1tjxoESK81rsmobp

What free time I had for the last week went into Mass Effect 3. Then I reverted to my alcoholic tendencies for obvious reasons. I'll do a thing eventually.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page20.gif You attempt to EXTORT the BARTENDER into BEING YOUR FRIEND and JOINING YOUR CREW. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page21.gif You're pretty sure he's not having ANY OF IT. WHAT DO?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page15.png CONTACT distracts BARTENDER while you STEAL his HELMET. BARTENDER asks if CONTACT has payed the NON-HUMAN SURCHARGE. CONTACT says she hasn't BOUGHT anything. BART says, in that case, that she can GET THE F- http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page16.png PUT IT BACK. PUT IT BACK OR I WILL END YOU. THAT HELMET HAS BEEN THROUGH MORE CRAP THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE, AND IT'S STILL SPOTLESS. IT HAS IMMENSE SENTIMENTAL VALUE. FLUKE threatens to SCRATCH the HELMET. TELL US EVERYTHING OR THE HELMET GETS IT. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page17.png BART says, alright, fine, you want a STORY? He'll tell you a STORY. BART tells PATCHY to put on some http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page19.png "First time I met MYNOCK was YEARS AGO. He was just some PO-DUNK LOSER looking to TURN HIS GARBAGE LIFE AROUND. We didn't really GET ALONG, but we made a good enough TEAM. I was a TROOPER and he was an ACCOUNTANT, but in our minds, we were FEARLESS OUTLAWS." http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page18.png "We met a MIRIALAN BOUNTY HUNTER named KESTREL. She'd been EXILED by the EMPIRE for having a CONSCIENCE or something. I don't know, she was an alien so I only really listened to the things she said a quarter of the time." http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/page232.gif "We all stuck together for a while. Got pretty close, watched each others' backs. We never really made all that much MONEY, but I guess we weren't really in it for the MONEY to begin with." http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/page222.gif "Of course, we got into trouble. Frequently." http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/page319.gif "We got our hands on something everyone wanted, and nobody should have had. Pissed a lot of people off. Garnered quite a bit of infamy, some of it deserved." http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/page749.gif "Then we got into more trouble." http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/page788.gif "We had some folks on our tail for a while. Set out on more than one quest for vengeance, justice, or just generally saving the galaxy. Caught the attention of some bad folks. They shouldn't have caught ours." http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/page751-1.gif "Then we got into more trouble." http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/page275.gif "Then I punched all of the aliens in the face and saved the day. The end." http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page17.png FLUKE gets the FEELING that this guy might not be ALL THERE. You know, BRAIN-WISE. ((YES THIS UPDATE IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A CLIP-SHOW. DEAL W/ IT.)

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page12.png You INTRODUCE yourself to BARTENDER, who tells you that his name is BART "BARTENDER" EN'DARR. After the civil introduction, you proceed to make A SLEW OF RIDICULOUS ACCUSATIONS WITH NO BASIS UPON WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING RIGHT NOW. WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR? The Nar Shaddaa Liquor Commission DID YOU KNOW THE OUTLAWS? No. DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE OUTLAWS ARE? Still no. I THINK YOU'RE RACIST AGAINST ALIENS. Alright. I THINK YOUR A REPUBLIC SPY! Yes I am spying on the strippers and transients in this district. OR MAYBE YOU AREN'T RACIST AGAINST ALIENS. That works too. THIS METHOD OF GETTING INFORMATION IS TURNING OUT TO BE INCREDIBLY INEFFECTUAL, ISN'T IT? Yes. BART is being INCREDIBLY OBSTINATE. You decide to take it to the NEXT LEVEL, with THREATS of PHYSICAL VIOLENCE. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page13.gif YOU WILL TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW YOU FAT BALDING RACIST CIVIL RIGHTS ADVOCATE OUTLAW SPY BARTENDER. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page14.png Sir, you need to stop doing that.

I've noticed a lot of overzealous filters catch words like "analysis" because the word "anal" is in them, and things to that effect. So the filter actually ends up taking an innocuous word and, by blocking it, makes it seem as though the speaker was cursing.

Only saw this just now. I haven't had time to do first-post recap nonsense yet, but this is one of the master-sheets that I've been using for a while: (WARNING: HUGE, 1000x1000px IMAGE) Also here's other things that I saved from before: Update later tonight.

What about creative use of profanity? Because I've got some words that will knock your ******* socks off, man. For instance: ************ *********** You can't see that, but trust me, it's REALLY good. I came up with it when I was drunk and accidentally misspelled the word "cult" in a really weird context. And suddenly, something magical was born.

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page9.gif I AM COMPLETELY SECURE IN MY MASCULINITY, AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DEEP-SEATED PERSONAL ISSUES THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BE RESOLVED THROUGH SHARED ADVENTURE AND CAMARADERIE. Yeah, she bought it. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page10.gif Suddenly you start getting SUSPICIOUS. CONTACT accuses you of RACISM. She is COMPLETELY different from that other one! CONTACT's TATTOOS are cooler, her FASHION SENSE is better and she DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A DUDE. Furthermore, that one is YELLOW, and CONTACT is GREEN! FLUKE asks CONTACT if referring to a LITERALLY YELLOW-COLORED PERSON as "YELLOW" is RACISM. CONTACT is pretty sure SHE can, because SHE'S a MIRIALAN too, right? Unless there are, like, DIFFERENT ETHNIC GROUPS within the MIRIALAN SPECIES. Are there ETHNIC GROUPS in NON-HUMAN SPECIES? To be HONEST, CONTACT'S UNDERSTANDING of her own SPECIES' CULTURE is very VAGUE, as though it was WRITTEN on a NAPKIN by a MAN WITH EIGHT CHINS trying DESPERATELY to meet a DEADLINE. FLUKE will not be PARTY to this RACISM. FLUKE changes the SUBJECT. WHY ARE WE IN THIS STUPID BAR? http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page11.png CONTACT explains that the OWNER of this BAR has a reputation for being a SYMPATHIZER. Evidently, among his REPERTOIRE of MOSTLY-FICTIONAL ANECDOTES, he is FOND of telling stories about a man named MYNOCK and a woman named KESTREL. Whether there is any TRUTH to them is your job to find out, but a LEAD is a LEAD, right? WHAT DO?

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page7.gif You see RIGHT THROUGH this FAÇADE. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page6.png You set a brick of HIGH EXPLOSIVES to go off a few seconds after you ENTER the BAR. You are now in BOOZE GIRLS. Your CONTACT, THE MIRIALAN, is over there in the corner. Apparently this PLACE is doing some DECENT BUSINESS since it CHANGED OWNERSHIP. Apparently the NEW OWNER starte-... Hold on. There hasn't been an explosion yet. You're sure that you set the timer! Or was that a PROXIMITY MINE? http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l316/lankist/P2Page8.png Uh oh. ((in my heart))
