This is so great! Vinny was even doing the trick of making the square zones with a blank square in the middle and rails rails everywhere. I'm so happy!
As I'm watching and writing you're coming up to what was easily the hardest part of the entire game for me. This is where I dropped the difficulty down to get through it. Total bastard!! The Armature and the gecko geth motherfuckers, jumping around. Haaattted this part. 1:36:30 ughh, getting cold sweats looking at it.... yes that went about as well as I'd have thought. Also seeing that cutscene over and over again.... Minus like two encounters in ME2 and one in ME3, this was about the hardest part in the entire trilogy for me.
Looking at how long there is in this episode, and seeing the description, I hope beating this section isn't just the rest of the episode... I hope for Alex's sake!
In your JOURNAL you can tab across to the ASSIGNMENTS tab - you've probably got a few open side quests there. When you guys were confused about what updated when you scanned your first planet, it would have updated the assignments tab.
Same with the Codex, there's secondary codex entries on the tab over.
