30-day song challenge - day 11 - a song you never get tired of
Mass Effect 3 Soundtrack - Grissom Academy (a.k.a the co-op mode background music)
What a rubbish music meme this is. It's nearly impossible to get tired of a song. The better a song, the more catchy it likely is, and the more likely it is to get worn out quickly.
However, during the seven hundred hours I've played Mass Effect 3 multiplayer - futzing around in the lobby with character color scheme customization, getting a surprise hug from a banshee, the unfortunate point during the match where you get cornered by two brutes and a ravager and can't even medigel yourself conscious long enough to GTFO, the even more unfortunate point during the match where every single member of the team goes down one after the other and then stays down, or when you fail to headshot an abomination and end up exploding yourself... I've never complained about the lobby music.
I can write a hundred things about my most and least shameful moments in co-op mode but I'll limit it to three apiece:
MOST SHAMEFUL
- The time I brought a Harrier into a gold match but forgot to put armor piercing rounds or mods on it...
- Every time I've tried to play a volus and bump into a chest-high barrier that I forgot I can't vault over.
- Not having bought the game outright and having to ping Shivani every time her account thinks I'm a hacker (and now it's too late, because it'd be too painful to go back to an unlocked manifest)
LEAST SHAMEFUL
- every time that Krogoth and I extracted from a platinum match without anybody having to play a juggernaut
- my two very sweaty 40-minute Giant-Gold-Murdertrain solos in service of the Giant Shep Head Banner (but never again)
- This one time fairly early on, where I played a Batarian soldier on Gold/Jade/Reapers with 3 pugs, realized that we were all out of our league, ended up huddling up top but managing to extract anyways
BONUS: FAVOURITE BUILDS
- the drell infiltrator with recon mine, talon pistol, and armor-piercing ammo (but mostly recon mine)
- vanilla human infiltrator with the Claymore shotgun and incendiary ammo
- vanilla human adept with a Tempest and warp ammo
- Vorcha sentinel with grenade capacity gear, and then tossing every single cluster grenade in times of need (it's okay to have more than three here because Vorcha can't count.)
BONUS BONUS: FAVOURITE OTHER BITS
- Krogan headbutts between waves, and also being unable to see ANYTHING while raging on Firebase White Hazard.
- when, the entire pug lobby spontaneously decides to play biotics
- Geth and vorcha noises
- Vorcha over-cover grabs to make face sushi (again, it's okay to have more than three here because Vorcha can't count).
ME:A multiplayer wasn't the same :(
