Here's an interesting graph (from Wikipedia): It looks like up through WWII the perception that Democrats spend and Republicans cut back was fairly accurate, but after that it kind of breaks down. *Edit* - To be clear that's debt and not spending, and the debt can also be lowered by increasing revenue rather than decreasing spending. Another trend I'm noticing is that it seems that during good economic times (20's, 50's-60's, 90's) the debt tends to come down, and during bad times (30's, now) and major wars (WWI, WWII) it tends to go up. There is that 80's increase that seems to go against that though.

Especially considering that under Clinton we were running a surplus (yes I realize the economy was doing a lot better then too). *Edit* - That was @Sporkwaffles.

After beating Mass Effect 3 for the second time, I think I'm finally burnt out on it. Leaning toward maybe doing DX:HR next.

lol @LittlePirate: you're gonna run into the same problem I did with Uncharted: "Damn! Now I want the third one, but it's still full price! "

I saw someone earlier today playing a Quarian infiltrator with a shotgun. It was surprisingly effective. It takes a second to decloak after firing, so you can use that second to run away (like I do when I res people... my Infiltrator is the designated main healer among my friends). Run up close, blast them, then gtfo before you're decloaked.

I think the best thing about it is that it can shoot through Guardians' shields.

I want a Widow.

I stocked up on consumables with the equipment packs. Though I'm back down to 13 medigels now...

Yeah, you can either buy them with in-game currency or use real money.

Yeah, of course it does, that's how they lock you in a Skinner Box. Especially since you can buy the packs with real money.

Okay, that's what I've been buying. @HotHeart: I did it. It resets the whole class (all races) to level 1, and gives you 75 War Assets in single player.. Totally not worth it, imo.

What's the best pack to buy to unlock Asari Adept or Krogan Soldier?

Just the GBA-size resolution/old-school graphical style.

FDS is just following his pattern: "Your statement is wrong/incomplete about x, therefore you're bad at the game."

I have every vanguard race unlocked and my vanguard is level 8 without me having played vanguard even once. I just want an asari adept.

No, long long time ago you said it may have been a mistake to save the council

I don't just mean the color scheme, everything about the uniforms is identical. Also, it's a similar color scheme to the normal duty uniforms that have been used since ME1: I know C-Sec was black and blue since the start too, but their uniforms still could have been a different cut and everything. I mean, my local police wear blue but I can still tell their uniform apart from US Navy. @Dean re saving the council in ME1:

I just noticed that the C-Sec uniforms are identical to the Alliance uniforms. Seems kinda lazy (though I know laziness in this game's production is nothing new).

My understanding is that large Irish immigrant populations in New York City popularized it there, and then it kinda spread throughout the country.

That picture makes me want to play Pokemon. :/

I don't see how it's "greedy" to make more content than a game like this would normally have, and then want to charge extra for that content. The costumes seems a little extreme, I agree, but just don't buy them.

For most artists they get next to no money from you buying the CD either, unless you buy it directly from them (like at a concert).
