Not Mass Effect - Borderlands. That thing is a dead ringer for the Outrunner/Racer vehicle. Just add a gun turret in the back and a machine gun in the front.

"Catch a riiiiiide!"
I'm told my dislike for the game was because I wasn't playing it on multiplayer. I didn't care for the lack of mouth animation (using masks to obviate the need to do so), the fact that NPC dialog didn't change after I'd solved problems they were talking about, and that the ending was a standard "shoot the glowy" boss fight.
Still, driving around and making things explode was amusing, but I didn't get any of the DLCs. I was almost tempted to get the one where you blow up those Claptrap robots, but I never made an effort to hunt it down.

1.8b2 has got some VERY nice things. I'm rather fond of being able to grow Giant Mushrooms, which makes for LOTS of food when you need it.
The ravines and rivers are very nice, and the biomes have definately been tweaked. I've got a lovely mangrove swamp near my spawn point, with vines on the trees, mushrooms aplenty, and shallow water. I really need to have a fan-boat...
One scary thing was 'waking up' to step outside my little shelter and find... an Ender Pearl on my front doorstop. . . . THEY KNOW WHERE I LIVE!!!

I was startled when I tossed some bonemeal on a red mushroom and suddenly I was inside a giant version of the 'shroom.
Now I just need to build a Smurf village or two.
And they don't have a use for Ender Pearls yet, right? I've got a few of 'em in a chest somewhere, just in case they become desireable. I'm also looking forward to whatever update lets me spend the scads of XP I'm collecting. If there's a "feat" that expands your inventory, I think everything will go towards that.
Up until I'd read your comment, I was only aware of two.
Years ago, I discovered my stepbrother had watched the TV show but had never seen the movie before, and he swore up and down all through the film that it was "wrong" because Connor was insane or something, and he'd only believed he'd won the prize or what have you.
There was a clip from a comedian, I forget which one, where he commented on that. It was a routine about how Connery is such a manly and powerful actor that rather than learning a Russian accent, his sheer force of will would make everyone else speak English when they were around him.
Also, they helped distract from his lack of accent by tossing in that wretched blue-screen scene at the end when the Red October is tooling up the (I think) Hudson River at night.
Given the ethnic heritage of Egypt... that's not much of an improvement. :)
I'm also thinking that some immortal would have invented razor-boomerangs or something that shoots saw blades at some point. Plus, I don't think there were any rules about incapacitating a foe somehow before dispatching them. But that's probably not terribly cinematic.

I managed it, for all of about twelve seconds, which was followed by a splitting migraine. I don't think my mind was meant to bend that way.
Still, for that brief moment, I was able to fully grok it in all four dimensions.
Haven't been able to manage it since - I just get the migrane, and not the enlightenment.

They'd only attack if you stared at them directly, and they could teleport... :)

Ramirez was Egyptian, posing as a Spaniard.
