TV commentary:
Psych- How appropriate that the two college students' catch phrase was "Boobs", cause I could not stop checking out that chick's. I mean, its on thing to be wearing the low cut white tank, but to have the low cut black bra underneath? C'mon, how are your eyes not drawn to that?
Anyways, my sources tell me the show is doing a Clue homage at some point? Awesome!
ME blather- I'm getting much better at multi-player. I've still only been solo-ing it, but I can last like 5 waves/20 minutes now. I'm learning how to utilize the characters better, and have a
few decently leveled characters now. I named them and everything:
Asp- human female infiltrator. I managed to get a Mantis VII sniper rifle in one of the arsenal packs. At first, I was skeptical about how effective the weapon could be trying to solo since I had to reload after each shot. But I've learned to be more mobile. Get some distance, find some cover, pop off a head or two, then run and cloak to find another position to snipe from, lather, rinse, repeat. Of course, given the sheer number of enemies, that means I often have to melee guys I end up running into whilst changing positions. I should prolly use cryo-blast a little more too.
Cloak- Asari Huntress. Haven't played her since getting the upgraded Mantis, though given her biotic powers, I should stick with a lighter weapon. Prolly an SMG since I got a SMG power-magnifier.
Baz- Batarian Sentinel. I've only played Infiltrators and Soldier in the main game, so I was pleasantly surprised at how rugged Sentinels are, particularly with their armor power on. Alas, Batarian sentinels get blade armor instead of tech armor, so they can't detonate it, but they do have a huge bonus in melee, and damage opponents who try to melee them. I mean, you still don't want to go up against a Phantom or Banshee, because they'll insta-kill you at close range. But since I cut my teeth playing a Turian Cabal chick, I've gotten a feel for getting up close and personal.
Strella- Turian Cabal. My main character right now. I've finally gotten a feel for her- Having biotic focus always on, and definitely a lot of running in, carving the guys up with my poisoned claws, and then using poison strike to flee through the walls. I'll occasionally use it to attack and enemy behind a wall, but I mostly save it as a means of quick escape to phase through a wall really quick to run away.
7241- Geth Engineer. Since I realized you can work towards the achievements in both single and multiplayer mode, made a engineer so I could use their overload to work toward the "overload specialist" trophy, rather than replaying ME3 as an engineer.
If I do get that,
I'm close to getting most of the achievements. Between MP and the Arena in SP, I should easily get the veteran trophy- I think I'm at 4000 out of 5000 enemies, which is surprising, because that's way more people than I've killed in AC3, and I'm practically a god in that, just wading into enemy forts and massacring everyone. Of course, in AC3, they don't count kills from the Tyranny of King Washington DLC, which is total BS, because I've killed a whole lot in that. Of course, WO3 my kill count has to be in the hundreds of thousands. But I digress. After getting the two aformentioned trophies, all I have left is to throw that party, I don't think I can get the last set, because that involves playing on Insanity. Then again, if
sparkboy can do it, surely I can. I'm the older, and therefore better brother, HA! I could prolly get all the galaxy areas to 100% if I played enough MP as well. But that would take some time.
