I also heard you need to play multiplayer in Mass Effect 3 to get a better ending, I might get into Galaxy Of War and see how I do.
I really hope not. I hate developers making an aspect of what I bought the game for (SINGLE PLAYER) depend on a bullshit tack on that makes me regret purchasing the thing and funding such general fucking around in the first place (MULTIPLAYER).
As it stands, I'm amazed they didn't just pull a Kotor3/TOR routine and make the third mass effect game an mmo that takes place 300 years in the future and is exclusive to a platform entirely different from what I played the first two on!

I don't have much to say, since Wolfbot's basic battle plan is already included in his graphic: Evade long range attacks, soften up the enemy on approach with shock kicks, try to remove weapons with the quarium whip, clinch, get a vital component (or whatever is small enough to fit) in the jaws, clamp down, and kill.
For a little Kino Mutai in action -
Skip to around 3:18
Just picture that, but with added robotic scorpion tail strikes.
Unfortunately, I think this fight might be a double k.o. or very close. I see Wolfbot getting the enemy in its jaws, and just before the mouth mounted beam cannon obliterates the target, Rhymebot uses the Overdrive bomb. Due to proximity, I think they'd both be caught in the blast, but Wolfbot might survive due to slightly higher health and defense.
Also, don't discount Alexis' killer instinct. She was a lawyer, you know =)

Finally got the chance to get into Mass Effect 3 a little bit today. The things it does poorly are hard not to notice, but the things it does well have more than made up for it so far!
Also, planning on making a Shepard in the future who looks a little like Kevin Sorbo...
Spoiler-
EDIT - Also really looking forward to importing my Shepard that went the romance route with Jack.

Since they basically turned the Normandy into the Andromeda now!

For some reason, I'm giving myself a deadliest warrior vibe with this vote-
It looks like it would take Kentona's bot five strikes, based on its attack and the target's defensive scores, to win compared to the six strikes it would take from Gourd's bot.
Attack - Edge: BR-0
Zoom Gear has a respectable 80 in agility, but BR-O has 100. If we use 100 as the benchmark, not only does Zoom Gear have to land more strikes, but it will also take longer to land them.
Speed/Agility - Edge: BR-O
Zoom Gear has Crab Claws and a Spear Cannon, a nice mix of close and long range. The problem here is that BR-O has a tracking sensor equipped, so the Spear Cannon is out of the game right off the bat. With BR-O's repulsor antigrav joints, I think it is possible that Zoom Gear could succeed in gripping a limb and removing it, but I also think it is possible that the repulsor joints would simply re-engage if BR-O got close enough to the separated limb!
BRO-0 has gatling guns for medium to long range, but I don't see them being that effective against Zoom Gear. The only other 'weapons' are BR-O's shields.
Weapons - Edge: Zoom Gear
What hurts BR-O here is the low energy stat. I'm not sure if things like this are counted, but I would think the energy drain for the repulsor anti-grav joints would be fairly high. If a bot's arms and legs fall off when its battery gets dangerously low, that doesn't bode well for the bot!
Energy - Edge: Zoom Gear
It seems like Zoom Gear would prefer to prolong the match, rolling around and trying to get the target to waste their energy. With BR-O's shield set up, he also appears to take the turtle approach to combat, allowing the enemy to exhaust themselves against his defenses while delivering brutal counter moves.
Based on the fact it would take BR-O fewer attacks to win, and that he can deliver them more rapidly, I see this fight ending earlier rather than later, so Zoom Gear's energy advantage isn't that much of an issue.
Tactics - Edge:BR-0
BR-O's design is much better suited to its battle chip, which in my mind would make up for the lack of extra offensive weaponry.
X-Factor - Edge: Muay Thai/BR-O
WINNER : BR-O
Edit - Separated my thoughts into both Weapon and X-Factor categories.

What are you thinking about right now?
A friend of mine recently upgraded to a new television, so he gave me his old 38 inch Sharp. When I finally get some time to try Mass Effect 3 out this weekend, I may actually be able to read all the tiny text for once!

It is a close match, but I'd give the edge to GBBB-V1.0 based on the maxed agility and slightly higher defense. He'll hit more often, and when he does get hit, he should last a little longer.
GBBB-V1.0 + 1

Helluva good game!
I haven't played it in a while, even though I always have a blast when I do. After my last run through as a Malkavian, I kind of figured it would be impossible to top that experience. There is something wonderfully demented about watching what appears to be a drugged out raver in an over the top fluffy pimp costume, carrying an assault rifle, getting into a heated argument with a stop sign.
I started my Mass Effect series marathon this weekend, and so far I'm making terrible time. I'm not even a fifth of the way through the first game. The way it is going with work and other responsibilities (having a life, etc), I may not get to ME3 until the weekend after it comes out, or later.
Faith, religion, and you

I don't even need to make physical contact with somebody when I use my chi.
Didn't seem to work out too well for that guy, actually. I used to be able to leave a palm print on someone through a phone book and break eggs in a glass by doing a downward strike at them but not actually touching them, although it was probably just something to do with the vibrations of the glass, since I did make contact with it!
To me, it looks like that guy didn't put enough belief in blood, bone, muscles, and flesh.
Faith, religion, and you
My mom went to a Billy Graham lecture once with the intent to pretty much argue with him. Mission accomplished.
She also taught me two phrases that stay near the front of my mind to this day. One being "You can go into your closet and pray" and the other "If you believe a salt shaker is your god, and that is all it takes for you to lead a good life, why would that be wrong?"
The closet thing was my mom's answer to people who thought we should all be in church every sunday, or else. She taught me that you don't need to sit in a white building, tithe, or wash other peoples feet to believe in God. The salt shaker thing means that even if you don't believe in the "God", if you believe in something and that makes you happy in life, more power to you.
All of that aside, I was sent to private schools early on. My first school was Presbyterian. When we moved, I went to a Lutheren private school and was baptized accordingly. After a year end assembly where all of the teachers pretty much stood up and said that everything they were teaching us was wrong unless it came from the bible, I told my mom I thought it was a cult. I was then moved to public schooling. It was very difficult seeing people I respected, one teacher in particular who was my favorite, saying things which sounded so insane to me.
The only time after that that my family all went to church together was one time years later when a friend of mine's little sister was getting baptized. Sitting through a Mormon service gave me strong "It's a cult!" flashbacks.
With all of that, I should probably be an atheist or something, but it would be false to call myself one, and not just because I do not put stock in labels. I've always prayed. From the time I was old enough to talk, it was a night time ritual, we said the "Now I lay me down to sleep," routine, with some extra family specific stuff tacked on at the end.
I've made a point to keep up with it to this day. In times of stress, I've done it, and it seems to help. Now, whether I'm actually opening a conduit to the divine and receiving gatorade for the soul or it is just a form of meditation that calms me and reminds me of being young and surrounded by my family, I can't actually provide an answer. I'd say both, but since I have a genius IQ, I'm supposed to be too smart to believe in imaginary friends.
When people ask what I believe, I either respond with "Something." or "Blood, bone, muscles, and flesh." I think there is something beyond, even if it is just a flow of energy as opposed to an old man with a beard. At the same time, I believe that people have to put in their own work. I saw a shirt that had the slogan "The army of the Lord. Lay down your sword and let the lord fight for you." My first thought was, Damn, I hope that isn't his approach to driving too! Close shut your eyes, and let the lord be your gps.
My study and practice of martial arts also effected my belief set. I can cause physical changes through meditation. I could go from tapping the heavy bag with my palm to breaking it loose from the chain mount just by focusing and directing my chi. I believe the truly intelligent person knows when to stop trying to come up with an answer, and when to admit what they don't know, as that is the first step to learning. The cup must be empty before it can be filled.
I guess you could say I'm more "spiritual" than I am "religious", and I am very strongly against any organized religion when it is used as something exclusionary, or just as a reason to hurt/hate others.
I kind of hate to whore some of my song lyrics out for a post closer, but they actually fit. I loved the version of Angel of Death that Danzig and Hank 3 played at the 6/6/6 show, and I do my own cover of it from time to time as a warm up or when friends request it. Lately, I added my own lyrics on at the end, basically it becomes a discussion between a believer and a sinner:
"Can you try to claim that you always knew,
or will you try to lie and bury the truth,
when you stand to be judged on the final day,
before the angel of death gets to have his say
Your time has come, its your last hand to play,
will you wager your boozing for once last chance to pray,
when you stand to be judged on the final day,
before the trumpet blast clears the chaff away
I was born on a monday, sinned on a sunday,
and every damn day in between,
yet you say there's a place for me in this heaven
of yours that I've never seen,
well one day soon, I guess we'll know the truth,
if the joke is on you or me
but tell me one thing, Mr Gabriel,
why do we live and die this way?
Alone in the dark and torn into pieces,
is it all just to make us pray?
Well someday soon, I guess we'll know the truth
if the joke is on you or me,
yeah, someday soon I guess we'll all know the truth for free."
