From codex entries and the like, the implication is that a species' technological development speeds up drastically once the mass relays/Prothean relics are discovered, which would seem to be the Reapers' plan. Ignoring low-tech worlds would be, for them, like leaving a field fallow to improve the soil, or setting a minimum size limit of fishing.

Exactly. The Reapers want to harvest advance life to create more of themselves. They would only be hindering themselves if they destroyed less advance species that will later become advance.

Considering their master plan seems to be turning a given race into a slurpee meal for their gigantic space robots, I can't understand why the race's intelligence would really matter. Blood and guts is blood and guts.

But that's not entirely right.

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

Their plan seems to be to harvest the majority of life and convert a single species into Reaper form - their plan didn't work with the Protheans (possibly due to their quad-strand DNA) and they were instead converted into a slave class - The Collectors. During the Suicide Mission in Mass Effect 2 you see the Human-Reaper Hybrid that's being constructed. General idea being that when Shepard killed Nazara (Sovereign) she basically singled out humanity as the race to convert this cycle rather than harvest.

True that they emphasize they're after DNA, so ostensibly they're after good DNA. Not sure you're right that they couldn't use Protheans, though. The fact they left some alive as their slaves does not mean that most weren't gobbled up.

If they had turned them, the current reaper forms would resemble the Protheans. Thus, their current form has to be the alien race they choose as the "right" one last time 'round.

Might as well lock it....

This is easy....

Revy from "Black Lagoon"

How many people are upset about this that own both a 360 and PS3?

Simple, my dream game was a game like Mass Effect, and then ME came out.lol. Now its a Batman Beyond game done by Rocksteady. Its weird how I can clearly see it running too.

I like what your doing, i actually avoid going into cities now in Skyrim if i can. It's so overwhelming, you just don't know what to do when you enter a city, where anything is, i don't want to talk to anyone incase they give me a quest that i don't have the time to do. I've only gone to Whiterun and Riften and i wanna keep it like that as long as i can, i stepped foot in Markarth and took one walk around the city realized i didn't have time for it and left.

I never understood that logic. Why would getting the quest, and saving it for later, be hard?

I will be picking up AW:AN and I Am Alive. The other titles don't peak my interest.

Why the feds smashed Megaupload

Yeah, it's hard to defend these guys. For everyone saying, "they could do this to YouTube"... if YouTube was run like Megaupload then it deserves to have this done to it.

I'm glad they got shut down and actually glad Anonymous hacked the government. That makes them an official and undeniably terrorist organization right? Sharing is one thing but this whole, "right to steal" and "people don't have the right to make money off of their creative work" attitude needs a swift quick to the nuts followed by execution. The Wild Wild West days of the internet might be drawing to a close. Not saying that I'm some saint who never pirated, but I'm always taken aback when the reaction to this stuff isn't, "oh well, the free ride is over," and is, "what the fuck, I deserve a free ride. My non-existent amendment right to 'Freedom of Theft' has been compromised!!!"

Why win the battle, when they will NEVER win the war? I quoted you but I speak to any and all supporters of this.

@Enigma777I agree with you partially, as I feel like I've seen every good anime. The winter line-up IS indeed garbage. I do have a problem with the title of your blog, but it's a successful way to attract attention. With that, Im out...

I've felt this for awhile, Giantbomb is the only site that is putting up regular premium content that I want to see, and even then it's almost always a slight variation on Quick Looks. Random PC game is just, well a quick look of a random PC game, Load Our Last Save is a quick look with a cool twist, but a quick look non the less. Bring back Video Thang or Question of the Week or WUTANG, bring back the crazy format of ILM from early 2011. Just do something that isn't "we sit a few guys down and play a game unedited". I love quick looks, they are fantastic, but I would love to see some more diversity from what the GB guys are putting out there.

Its funny, I posted something similar and was chewed out. Funny.

For you lazy people here's a quote:

"Again, if I'm paying for a service and they aren't delivering content, why am I paying for said service? Besides keeping their pockets lined, what else is it doing? Dont get me wrong, I love those guys, and I've been following Jeff for over 10 years, but truth be told, the premium membership isn't worth it.

I plan on getting a yearly membership soon. I would be devastated if this site were to cease to exist. I just expect more content. This isnt really aimed at the money, or the membership, its really that this site(compared to other similar sites) isn't supported as much, and it shows when you can see the same headline story for days on end here."
