Apparently released on the internet within the last year or two, some guy(s) taught everyone who was interested how to make armor fairly cost-effectively and not that difficultly,\u00a0using EVA floor foam sheets, heat guns and hot glue<\/a>.\u00a0 The result of such efficient tutorials apparently led to a very large conglomeration of DIY\u00a0Mass Effect<\/em>\u00a0costumers this past Dragon-Con.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s all fine and dandy, but it turned out that nobody really sought out much originality amongst them all.\u00a0 A vast majority of the male and female Shepards were all wearing variants of black and gray N7 armors.\u00a0 I noticed maybe one or two who busted out some variants of the armor in white, but it pretty much ended up being the same color schemes of whites, reds and blacks.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Apparently none of these people played\/care to acknowledge Mass Effect 1, and in even more cases, have any sense of humor, either.\u00a0 When I asked why nobody did the gay-looking pink and white Phoenix Armor from Mass Effect 1, I was met with nothing but blank stares of pretentiousness, and disgust.\u00a0 Granted, I was wearing a silly-looking fu manchu at the time, but still, it\u2019s not like I don\u2019t know what the fuck I\u2019m talking about when it comes to the Mass Effect universe.\u00a0 When you kill some Batarians, and they drop Phoenix Armor 3 when you\u2019re still rocking Predator 1s, and getting owned by turret drones?\u00a0 You swallow your fucking pride and put on the Phoenix Armor.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m willing to go with the former on this call, and guess that most of these people haven\u2019t even played ME1.\u00a0 With the re-releases of ME2, nobody was really required to play it anymore, and the bandwagon probably got to its fullest when ME3 was released when ME popularity was at its highest.\u00a0 In a way, I can\u2019t blame people for not wearing any Phoenix Armor, because there\u2019s a good probability none of them even knew what it even was.\u00a0 Because they\u2019re posers.\u00a0 Pretentious snobby ones.<\/span><\/p>\n A part of me is torn.\u00a0 I kind of want to make pink and white gay-looking Phoenix Armor out of defiance, and be a living middle finger for those people who take Mass Effect costuming so arrogantly serious, but at the same time, I\u2019m wondering if it\u2019s even worth the effort, just to be yet another DIY Mass Effect armor in the kingdom of shit mountain.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Apparently released on the internet within the last year or two, some guy(s) taught everyone who was interested how to make armor fairly cost-effectively and not that difficultly,\u00a0using EVA floor foam sheets, heat guns and hot glue.\u00a0 The result of such efficient tutorials apparently led to a very large conglomeration of DIY\u00a0Mass Effect\u00a0costumers this past … Continue reading Dragon-Con Stories: Mass Mass Effect<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[107,45,20,83,15],"class_list":["post-33856","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-dragoncon","tag-fail","tag-mass-effect","tag-observations","tag-og"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33856","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=33856"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33856\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33858,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33856\/revisions\/33858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=33856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=33856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=33856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
