October 31st – November 2nd (9:00 a.m. PDT)

Unnerving reports from the front indicate that the Collector reinforcements are more numerous than we feared. At this point, we do not know if our numbers are accurate or if psychological warfare is at work. We need to engage the enemy to assess their true strength.

Halloween Challenge – Complete the three Halloween challenges to earn the Halloween Challenge Banner.

Ghostbuster: Requires 5 extractions on Firebase Ghost or Firebase Ghost Hazard

Zombie Hunter: Requires 7500 points against husks/abominations.

Monster Killer: Requires 10000 points against brutes/scions/praetorians/banshees.

All challenges can be completed on any difficulty.

Note: The event isn't a commendation pack event. Since it ends of friday I think we will get another pack event this week. Also fuck yeah brotarian vanguard.

Oh and all objectives besides "Take out target X" have been replaced with pumpkins.

Would it have killed them to give us a "victory pack" full of consumables or mods? Sheesh.

[Pendulum]

Not quite as 'wtf am i doing' as ffxi /playlog was

[Ikarys]

Still, I think about the time I've spent in Single Player for this game compared to online, and which one is supposed to be the "main game" versus "additional content"...

[Lonely]

Checked all my saves and I have somewhere over 180 hours across my single player saves. 303 hours on MP. Someone halp me pls.

Pretty cool trailer. I like that they used the assault on the Collector base music in that trailer. Still the best piece of music in the entire trilogy to me. But this trailer still pales in comparison to the ME3 launch trailer. Even now knowing how it ends, that trailer still gives me goosebumps.

I’m happy to announce that on December 4, 2012 PlayStation 3 owners will be able to play the original Mass Effect for the first time, either by getting the Mass Effect Trilogy in stores or downloading Mass Effect as a standalone title through the PlayStation Network

The PlayStation 3 version of Mass Effect Trilogy will have the original Mass Effect with Bring Down the Sky integrated into the game, both on-disc and on the PSN download. Mass Effect 2 will still have the same DLC on-disc that it was originally shipped with: Cerberus Network; Kasumi; Overlord; and Lair of the Shadow Broker. Finally, Mass Effect 3 will also be exactly as it originally shipped.

The Xbox 360 version will include all DLC that came with the original games – Cerberus Network with Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 remains unchanged as well. The PC is the same as Xbox 360, except both Bring Down the Sky and Pinnacle Station are available for free – just as they are for all PC players who purchases each standalone product today.

The digital version of ME1 will be 15$. They fucked up the source or something for pinnacle station so that will never be released on PS3. Graphics are suppose to be equal to ME2 PS3 version apparently.

Pinnacle Station was kind of junk anyway. Just wave after wave of killing mooks. ME3 multiplayer makes it an irrelevance to me. 15 bucks so I can play through all three on PS3? And I've just unlocked the Asari sentinel? OK Bioware, shut up and take my money.

[Brill Weave]

134 hours for me.

[Brill Weave]

And I still want an Elcor

Going to have to go with this. I regretted getting that expansion as soon as I realized that I needed to try to lose once Shep was high enough of a level.
