well to be fair, Military Retirement age is after 20 years of service, so you can join at 18, hit your 20, and then just keep going. someone like Anderson has lived a hard ass life, and he's 10 years over at the rank of Captain, which for the army is equivalent to Colonel---an O-5. so yeah, twilight years of his career. he's 10 years past retirement, nearly 50 years old, and then you basically double that as a rule of thumb for the ACTUAL wear'n'tear on his body, that means in terms of breaking down, his body is 78. man really is in the twilight, veterans living as long as we do is actually a fucking miracle.

@@heirofaniu trust me, I did 5 as a 68w20 by the time I left. plus, Anderson was a Spectre candidate himself, so he lived the Rough Life, not some desk jockey job.
I'm so glad you kept the Donald simping line from the tierlist video. I still would love to see what you had to actually type to get him to goon so hard
So whats everyone's death count at now? I have a feeling there will be at least 3 or 4 deaths depending how much leeway they have for perfect destroy. Also what's the pres current death count i lost track?
Ngl 1:00:53 actually scared me when I was listening but not watching, I was outside watering plants and heard Donald start barking and panicked thinking a dog was gonna run my fade.
1:16:50 Little fun fact: if you return to where the asari tells you about Thane, after his recruitment mission, she'll be gone, but if you talk to her assistant, she hands you a data pad with a recording of her saying she heard about Nassana, and felt it safe to go off world. Doesn't say where for her own safety. Nothing really relevant to the plot or anything, but just something neat I stumbled across when I got ME LE. Edit: The renegade decision was to delete the recording after listening to it, for some reason?
Been following this series for a long time, back from the first tier lists. Uploads I always look forward to. Hilarious, but also clever writing with solid analysis on the Mass Effect universe and lore. Gonna get sappy for a second, but Virmire and the Finale were amazing treats while on paternity when my first daughter was born. Putting her to sleep for the night, having her happy and well on my first Father’s Day, sitting down to chill, opening RUclips and seeing that presidents are back at it with some Mass Effect. GOATED
Samara so fine made trump forget he has to be a paragon to romance even tho he admits he only does paragon runs to get that hug in the romance tier list
As fun as it is to punch Khalisa Al-Jilani, I honestly think the renegade/paragon responses are very underrated. Naming each ship that gave her life for the Citadel on camera is the best way to beat her at her own game.
You Bastard... Because of those three Men, i started a Mass Effect Marathon. Iron Man Challenge, 100% everywhere for everything. Even every Dialog Tree. And now, after another 14 hour session, ready to go to bed, i see this... Another freaking upload... You Maniac !! And i love you for it
These madmen convinced me to do an insanity run. After doing that, I figured that insanity in 2 and 3 was a bit much for me, so I only do Hardcore in those two.
I need to get back to my own Mass Effect 3 run. Trying to beat the game on Basic Bitch Insanity mode (just the base weapons and N7 Armor) and I'm about to soon do the Quarian/Geth war. I'm also trying to 100% it like you are. The first game was super easy, but I'm not sure which is gonna be considered harder by the end of the run: ME2 or ME3.
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem Thanks. I'll hopefully have the third game finished soon. The footage takes up a lot of hardware space and I've been dealing with some family matters so it's been taking a bit longer than I was hoping. And given how the challenge itself has been, I don't blame you for not wanting to try it yourself.
Holy shit an "Iron man run", its been years since i've heard someone use that term, and you're doing a completionist on ME no less? You're the maniac here my man
Personal favorite thing I enjoy about your playthrough so far is the glitches in conjunction with the Renegade choices. Keep up the work. I got that kill count for the end. I’ll include friendly fire if that happens 👀
So thanks to this i started my own insanity playthrough for the first time. I tried to move along with the story as it dropped but long story short i just wrapped up rannoch. Cant wait to see how it plays out. Thank you for the great content.
The thing I love about the dark engery plot is that it actually gives some merit to Sovereigns speech implying that there's a greater purpose behind the Reapers actions. The idea that the Reapers enact mass genocide on technologically developed organic speicies as a way to avoid conflict is such a disappoiting explaination. Sovereign talked about Reapers being nations independent of each other, but the truth is that they're simply acting on their programming, and the validity of that progamming is left up to Shepard in the end because, even in the view of the Catalyst, the system no longer makes any sense; if it ever did.
That's the problem with writing a lovecraftian level threat. You will need to explain it sooner or later, and it's almost always gonna be disappointing. At least dark energy plot was more intriguing than AI is bad, and their creators are stupid.
@@slavenin6496 Imma be real here and i know its gonna sound a bit annoying but the Reapers were never a 'lovecraftian level threat', idk why its such a common conception among the ME community that Soverign gave yall a lovecraft vibe but he really never did, bro spouted some nonsense about having no beginning or end and hes beyond our comprehension but in the end he gets blasted in perhaps the most anticlimactic boss fight in the entire trilogy and then proceeds to get one shot by Joker. From that very moment it was 200% clear that the Reapers were hyper advanced and a threat, but nothing close to invincible or lovecraftian, whose staples are being so far above humanity that at best we can only hold them at bay and even then only a select few
I think they could have refined the DE plot and it would’ve been incredibly intriguing. Nearly everything in ME works off of manipulation of dark energy, and it’d also be true genuine SCIENCE FICTION. It’d be cool to see a star just suddenly die or watch a star cluster become distorted and time warped and fade away. Man vs Machine plot turns into Man vs Nature.
@@Bedelguese Yknow i was gonna make some point about it being just his insanely weak avatar, but honestly this just makes the reapers worse in comparison, not better
it needs to be pointed out: Char got into the top force in the Krogen, dude wasn't just a different kind of Krogen, he was also a top tier combatant in addition to engineer. truly a dude that definitely deserved that win Shepherd help him secure
Rest in Peace Charr as a character was one of those side characters you don’t forget imo and the message you get about him in 3 was rough When the call came he joined up and fought until the end for his people and family he died in a hole in the ground along with his squad carrying Fire storms deep into the nest all for the next unit that came in after so they would have a fighting chance
@@GeorgeMonet it’s pretty easy to goof up or get too complacent and get rushed when you’re playing on insanity and you’re not a vanguard that can just charge out of a position that’s getting overrun

The 'Big Crunch' is a hypothesis. Colloquially, a theory is a guess. Scientifically, it's an explanation that's supported by a body of facts. One that can be repeatedly tested.

I know they're fucking around but with how insistent and dramatic they are about it leads me to believe they can't wrap their heads around being in your twenties. Idk man, kids seem weirder and sillier to me than they were just a decade ago. It's also one of their go to insults when they can't think of anything else.
@@jonathangarcia5279 You got to understand that kids now are the unhappiest generation of children we’ve ever seen. Highest rate of substance abuse, highest rates of self reported loneliness, highest rates of depression and anxiety, lowest average academic achievement of any generation, etc. I’m 27, and I was a senior in high school in 2015. I know it’s cliche for older people to say “my generation was better,” but it really was. The world is a dumpster fire now, and I couldn’t imagine being super young and impressionable right now. We had everything they have, but it was in a happier and more stable world. They act like that because deep down they fear getting older knowing there’s not much to look forward to; job market sucks, housing market sucks, everyone’s lonely and depressed. They’ve just entered that world and it scares the sh*t out of them.
I was disappointed that we couldn't do more for Lia. Bioware should have made it that you could give her credits to get her on her feet, or heck, have a touching moment if you bring Tali along, to get a model ship. Thank God for the Expanded Galaxy Mod though, bless modders. :)
Actually the collectors in the human reaper larva boss battle drop heavy weapon ammo even on insanity. Watching the boys play got me to fire up a manguard insanity run
Im listening to this playthrough while at work. And I swear that comment on Samara's boots had me take a minute break because it caught me so off-guard
Got I love these. Help me sleep at night whilst learning lore about one of my favourite sci fi universes from Obama. And the humour is great man. You’re goated.
38:02 charging the collosus and nailing it with a Cain was one of the most satisfying plays ever, would be even epic if I didn't get myself killed couple of times while trying it out
I never took the "Human Led" meant "all human." More likely humanity picked (or at least heavily influenced) who the replacement councilors were or took the lead in rebuilding the council.
Man I literally JUST subbed to the Patreon and I’m already in the credits?! Radiancy of the most Prime degree! Watching this series got me back into another playthrough, and I also chose sentinel!
Tali's theme with its combat music is my favourite squadmate theme in the whole game; it's an absolute banger and the highest energy part makes the player really eager to rescue Tali.
I know these videos take a lot of work, but I'd also like to see the complete playthrough (paragon) where this one is the lore/banter and the paragon is the banter only. More of these videos is never a bad thing. Thanks for the hard work and looking forward to more!
Tbh, the "this is my favourite store on the citadel" should've been a neutral option for the stores that you can only use once, a single use free discount choice at your preferred store. And have a new dialogue for paragon persuasion, if you want a discount that way. Let's say renegade would need like 20% of the bar filled to become an option, and paragon would need 40%. That way renegade has an edge over being the good guy. (or have renegade give a 15% discount instead of 10) Not getting the Spectre status back has no real meaning in ME2, since we're playing mostly in Terminus Space, which is practically lawless. But would add a bit of flavour if you do the Kasumi mission on Bekenstein, you'd get a mail from a Council investigation committee about them knowing you were there, and to please show up to a hearing on the Citadel. Similar thing after the loyalty missions for Garrus and Thane. After all three, on your next visit, some C-Sec guards would try to detain you, but Bailey would would save your neck, telling them you work for him, undercover, then tells you you owe him a favor now, or two favors, if Kolyat was given light sentence. As for Thane, If the Suicide Mission had some other parts, like having to cross an open section, and needing sniper support, he could've been a good choice for that part. On the other hand, his bio and introduction would lead to a more melee character focus. He could've had Kasumi's Shadow Strike, and some passive evasion chance and increased melee damage. So... Next mission comes the Collector Ship with Joe... Oh I think you should put a death count overlay on your video then.
I’m happy I found this but having to wait for every episode is so hard! You’re doing really well and I love how you’ve characterised all the presidents and the interpersonal drama, it’s almost like OCs in a way but you have that real world connection of them being actual people? Really cool, anyway enough glazing keep at it!
i am extremely glad to see this continue. i also wish to mention one useful tip: You can look around while in the command menu by holding down right click and dragging it to where you want to look. i figured it might be a helpful tip to know.
Man I’m glad there’s a disclaimer otherwise I’d thought these were the real presidents talking about video games and using copious amounts of slang
You know Obama never authorized a drone strike, just told his generals to run a fade on America's opps
Our politics would be better if these three got together and clowned like this

53:27 yeah, i remember that one. Something about he's bones been the fence for their garden.
Just happened to catch this when you uploaded let’s go can’t wait to see what they are up to today
This is peak entertainment, I can't believe how well its done sometimes. I've rewatched all the episodes over and over. Thank you so much for making this as well as you do, looking forward to more.
Your writing is excellent.
23:27 Gaslighting 20-something year-olds into thinking they’re getting old is my favorite new internet trend.
You ain't lying. I've gotten called old by my teenage coworkers for being 26.
@@jonathangarcia5279 They’re just goofing with you. If they’re not, Jesus they’re gonna have a rough time when they realize 8 years is a 🫰 in our lives.
I know they're fucking around but with how insistent and dramatic they are about it leads me to believe they can't wrap their heads around being in your twenties. Idk man, kids seem weirder and sillier to me than they were just a decade ago. It's also one of their go to insults when they can't think of anything else.
@@jonathangarcia5279 You got to understand that kids now are the unhappiest generation of children we’ve ever seen. Highest rate of substance abuse, highest rates of self reported loneliness, highest rates of depression and anxiety, lowest average academic achievement of any generation, etc. I’m 27, and I was a senior in high school in 2015. I know it’s cliche for older people to say “my generation was better,” but it really was. The world is a dumpster fire now, and I couldn’t imagine being super young and impressionable right now. We had everything they have, but it was in a happier and more stable world. They act like that because deep down they fear getting older knowing there’s not much to look forward to; job market sucks, housing market sucks, everyone’s lonely and depressed. They’ve just entered that world and it scares the sh*t out of them.
@@Glep909 Sounds about right.
1:00:45 I almost choked on my drink from this entire sequence.
I hope your ok 😂
52:05 Absolutely fucking insane
90minutes of straight peak 🎉
Recently discovered this amazing series and now I can't wait for more. Your writing for the presidents is brilliant I love their characters
17:42
most based thing Donnie has said so far
I was disappointed that we couldn't do more for Lia.
Bioware should have made it that you could give her credits to get her on her feet, or heck, have a touching moment if you bring Tali along, to get a model ship.
Thank God for the Expanded Galaxy Mod though, bless modders. :)
Threw my wife off me when i saw this
Patiently waiting for the next on hahaha, I never knew how badly I needed this in my life 😂
Actually the collectors in the human reaper larva boss battle drop heavy weapon ammo even on insanity. Watching the boys play got me to fire up a manguard insanity run
Love the jokes and the lore drops. Thank you. I watch one of these every night before sleep ❤
I really needed cheering up today, mate. You're doing God's work. ❤
I fucking love meeting Conrad again and discovering my favorite asari in ME2. That shit was a ride!
Been binging through all of your Mass Effect videos over the past month. They've been a blast to watch and my introduction to the Mass Effect series.
Absolutely gold once again. Love that it's a longer episode!
Donald going feral when Samommy shows up floored me
Donald's hands down the funniest person of the trio
Im listening to this playthrough while at work. And I swear that comment on Samara's boots had me take a minute break because it caught me so off-guard
Please continue making these they make my day every time I see it pop up in my recommended.
Watching this while working nightshift slaps. Thanks for the shout out PR!
I love the warning at the beginning idk the context of why it was put there but I think the fact that it HAD to be put there is hilarious
Absolutely could not contain my laughter when Donald went wild for Samara. 😂😂
Here early to say that your content is amazing and the most well written of this format I've ever seen. Keep up the fantastic work.
Right as im about to go to bed damn
Got I love these. Help me sleep at night whilst learning lore about one of my favourite sci fi universes from Obama. And the humour is great man. You’re goated.
This is my new favorite series please keep it up!
These are an absolute pleasure! BarDonJoe Shepard got me playing the series again
38:02 charging the collosus and nailing it with a Cain was one of the most satisfying plays ever, would be even epic if I didn't get myself killed couple of times while trying it out
I never took the "Human Led" meant "all human." More likely humanity picked (or at least heavily influenced) who the replacement councilors were or took the lead in rebuilding the council.
Man I literally JUST subbed to the Patreon and I’m already in the credits?! Radiancy of the most Prime degree! Watching this series got me back into another playthrough, and I also chose sentinel!
I'm surprised Donald didn't turn into a dog again when Samara kneeled and swore herself to Shepard.

Greetings from Uruguay Donald, love this videos 🤙
Am a tail simp am a simple man.
A fellow man of culture
Tail?
@@altosforteaquax5083 That's just how I spell it.
@@JayDay01 58% chance of her sweat taste like a mix of blueberry and shrimp.
@@RebelNutts-gg1xf 😋 yumm
Tali's theme with its combat music is my favourite squadmate theme in the whole game; it's an absolute banger and the highest energy part makes the player really eager to rescue Tali.
Feature length? BLESSED
your videos are the only thing that keeps me sane. Thank you!
After the despair of last week without an episode, we are blessed!
I know these videos take a lot of work, but I'd also like to see the complete playthrough (paragon) where this one is the lore/banter and the paragon is the banter only. More of these videos is never a bad thing. Thanks for the hard work and looking forward to more!
Tbh, the "this is my favourite store on the citadel" should've been a neutral option for the stores that you can only use once, a single use free discount choice at your preferred store. And have a new dialogue for paragon persuasion, if you want a discount that way. Let's say renegade would need like 20% of the bar filled to become an option, and paragon would need 40%. That way renegade has an edge over being the good guy. (or have renegade give a 15% discount instead of 10)
Not getting the Spectre status back has no real meaning in ME2, since we're playing mostly in Terminus Space, which is practically lawless. But would add a bit of flavour if you do the Kasumi mission on Bekenstein, you'd get a mail from a Council investigation committee about them knowing you were there, and to please show up to a hearing on the Citadel. Similar thing after the loyalty missions for Garrus and Thane. After all three, on your next visit, some C-Sec guards would try to detain you, but Bailey would would save your neck, telling them you work for him, undercover, then tells you you owe him a favor now, or two favors, if Kolyat was given light sentence.
As for Thane, If the Suicide Mission had some other parts, like having to cross an open section, and needing sniper support, he could've been a good choice for that part. On the other hand, his bio and introduction would lead to a more melee character focus. He could've had Kasumi's Shadow Strike, and some passive evasion chance and increased melee damage.
So... Next mission comes the Collector Ship with Joe... Oh I think you should put a death count overlay on your video then.
Man I love your videos, the way all 3 interact is so good, it's also nice that they are not always arguing. Can't wait for the episode
I’m happy I found this but having to wait for every episode is so hard! You’re doing really well and I love how you’ve characterised all the presidents and the interpersonal drama, it’s almost like OCs in a way but you have that real world connection of them being actual people? Really cool, anyway enough glazing keep at it!
i am extremely glad to see this continue. i also wish to mention one useful tip:
You can look around while in the command menu by holding down right click and dragging it to where you want to look. i figured it might be a helpful tip to know.
Fun fact: if you get drunk and then talk to Liara’s dad your character will perceive her as younger with makeup on and she’s a little more flirty
the callbacks are absolutely peak. was not expecting this series to begin building a canon.
The renegade speech check on the eclipse merc at the window is pretty cool.
