Thane is awesome. Garrus, Thane and Legion are the Holy Trinity of NPC Companions. I refer to them as 'my boys'. XD

Are these all people from that TV computer game everyone is playing? Math FX, I think. Dunno why the kids are into math all of a sudden but whatever works.

Tali is the annoying teenager who you love but really don't want around. She is so naive and irritating!

She gets drunk on the Normandy!!! It isn't cute, it's downright disgraceful! I chewed the hell out of Ash for being hungover but the game doesn't let you reprimand Tali like she deserves.

Tali is endearing and great to have on the Normandy but she has no place going on missions. She's untrained, undisciplined and she argues with the chain of command.

Oh come on guys, she's not that bad. Speaking as one who romanced Tali I think she was cute and the sort of collective team innocence! Sorta thing :heart:

The word "Campaign" on the first word to come to mind thread sparking a reminiscence of the Waddingtons board game of the same name.

I only got around to playing the first one but if you didn't take Wrex and Garrus everywhere I don't know what the hell you were doing.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Finally found out what's been going on with some of the tensions I've been sensing in the Department. Turns out, surprise of all surprises, I talk too much and tend to step on hierarchal land mines quite frequently. However, those at the top of the hierarchy tend to like me, its just all those between them and me... :heart:

It's not fair, I don't even care about hierarchy...

Which is exactly why they don't like you. They feel like they're important and in charge of something (whatever that is, usually nothing) and don't like it when someone like you just ignores their "title".
I do the same thing, I find it gets things done faster and properly compared to strict hierarchy.

Funny, at my work, there is no strict hierarchy between "everyone" and management. Thus, when I do what you do, everyone just thinks I work too hard instead of thinking that I'm stepping on someone's turf. :heart:

As DW says, I find it gets things done a lot faster and more efficiently than if you leave it for someone else. At the very least, it pays to remind people about things if they do have responsibilities. *shrug*

But then, you're in the ultra-competitive environment of a med student, aren't you? Therefore I can see why people would be annoyed. XD

Think about it this way, Gust. You're making people look bad. Most people don't like to look bad in front of their boss/peers/anyone. That's actually good for you, after a fashion, but it will always be a source of conflict. If it's too much of a problem for you then all you need to do is start caring about the hierarchy. Or if not caring, at least being mindful. Think before acting. Or something. Problem solved.
