For the smallest instant the image on the screen stilled, the lips did not move. This was the first indication that Mura was actually speaking in Japanese, his words swiftly translated into English — while the movement of his face and lips were simulated by the computer to match the words.

Since I finally got to Persona 4, I feel I must share the soundtrack.

Seems legit

Even if I don’t post anything, I can’t skip the traditional Christmas post :)
Apparently the remaster of the original Mass Effect trilogy is soon upon us. So I want to publish some ‘source data’ for my Commander, Selene C. Shepard just to immortalize her a bit.

Name: Selene Shepard
Biography: ruthless spacer
Class: vanguard
Alignment: neutral, slightly more paragon than renegade
Her canon: (Important things about her biography)
Kaidan and Wrex die on Virmire
Wrex’s stubbornness and death lead to a general distrust for Krogans
Rachni Queen is saved
Balak is turned to the Alliance
One teammate is lost in the suicide mission (probably Jacob; Jack in my first playthrough)
For some sense of loss like in ME1
Collector base is destroyed
Genophage is sabotaged, Mordin is saved
Red or blue ending, never green or ‘do nothing’
Things that should be promoted to canon but they contradict some of my playthoughs:
Udina named councillor
To save Anderson from the job he doesn’t want and, frankly, Udina is not that asshole he seems on the first playthrough (except ME3)
Jacob dies
Quarians are saved, Geth are destroyed
Red ending with survival

Alternative of version 2 was created for the last replay of ME3 to show some changes due to civilian life.
