*****Your last Pug in one word*****

Fun

I respecced my quarian waifu with full weapon passives (had to sacrifice Sabotage tech vulnerability to do it; but I rarely use elemental ammo with her so it's not too great a loss). Had fun sniping toasters (sandstorm notwithstanding), then more fun sniping bugs. The other players were all fine; Collectors with pugs is always a gamble but this team had no difficulties. The second game ended in WFOP, so that was a hint to quit while ahead.

As if fun were not its own reward, I also unlocked a Saber upgrade.

I finally got around to doing the Vorcha Hunter in Gold. It was intense, and we barely survived. Also, I was killed mid-grab WHICH IS SO WRONG WHERE WERE MUH I-FRAMES HUH WHERE WERE THEY!?

He needs the money 

Your fame has been googled by McMuffin. Just do it for the sake of all who will ever meet him. He might as well quit if he can max the manifest and you thus can spare everyone from this menace. Consider it your sacrifice for the sake of humanity.

From yesterday...



Well, he did ask

(And no, ME3MP still not working properly )

Played a match with a Kroguard and two Geth Troopers. At one point I actually managed to detonate one of my own explosions!

I've officially added Flamer onto my list along with Snap Freeze, Recon and Cain Trip Mines. No prizes for guessing what the list is about.

Which platform?

Sigh.

I should know better. I really should. When there were only two people in the gold lobby and they are already readied up before I get there, I really should check their load-outs instead of just going for it. I still don't know what their loadouts looked like, but it probably would have given me an idea of what I was getting myself into. It felt like I spent the entire match keeping Hunters and Pyros off of the other three (last one joined wave 2), who all focused on the Primes ALL the time. Or just ran off by themselves and died.

Followed by:
Smooth

Collectors/Giant/Gold.
My Clamore QFI joined a Volus of some sort, a Shadow, and a GI on wave 3.  A nice, smooth match with enemies melting before us.  Even the  hack in the open area to the right of the LZ went well, or at least as close to it as that hack can be.

Well. A bunch of ok-to-mediocre Gold matches. The highlight, or lowlight, was trying to kill a stupid a-bomb that was charging drunkenly around the lower level hack on Giant. IIRC this involved me shooting it, meleeing it, getting grabbed, getting ungrabbed, accidentally entering cover, accidentally leaving cover, trying to shoot it again, and generally a whole lot of the screen showing nothing but abomb facehumping until our Krogan heavy-meleed the twerp and he finally nukedetonated and put me on the deck. Sigh.

That Krogan was a pro, BTW. Always returned melee spam with headbutts between rounds. Nice

TurianParty - 4 turians, one match - Gold/Hazard Reactor. I managed to cook only a couple of them. Lots of reapers though.

In one word? Uh, Fuckingdicksuckingbullshit

Spent almost the entire day just trying to find a decent PUG match. You know, one where the lag wasn't so bad a cannibal could kill me with two bullets? Apparently that's just too much ask these days. Probably visited about 8 different matches, every single one ended in me rage-quiting.

I go to one match, my Vanguard refuses to ever charge. Gets killed in 1 second flat by a marauder, while at FULL HEALTH AND SHIELDS. Hop into another - immediately get gang banged by an abomination party as I spawn and then promptly eaten by the Praetorian that of course just had to be right fucking there. Try another match, get to wave 5 at least. Shoot a collector point blank in his head with the Claymore. Does three bars of damage. Doesn't even stagger him. He Stuns me while melee. I go down in one shot. Rage quit.

At this point, my will is broken and I'm about to flip the fuck out. I open up the console and enter the exit command because I want to stop playing this cheating fucking game right. now. The game closes. I sigh in relief and take a break. Oh but guess what now, fucker? Mass Effect is broken! Every time I launch multiplayer, the game crashes.

It just got finished repairing on Origin as I typed all this out, so it should work now. But honestly, I'm so salty right now that I couldn't care whether it does or not.
