Happy Birthday Robert A. Heinlein, born on this day in 1907 in Butler, Missouri. Fan art tribute by US-based artist E Lynx Lin.
The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
~ Robert A. Heinlein
Happy Fourth of July People! Leadership may be weak now but the will of the nation is strong. Long live the USA. Loschaos salutes those who serve.
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. ~Abraham Lincoln
Since in all likelihood you are not going to be alive when Shep has her birthday on April 11, 2154, I think we should mark the event now! Go ahead and buy your favorite cake today and celebrate the first human Spectre. Image titled “Last Goodbye” by Italian artist Fran, AKA yunamoonflower.
Shepard: I don’t like putting my life in the hands of a Turian, sir!

The Year
What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That’s not been said a thousand times?
The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.
We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.
We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.
We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our brides, we sheet our dead.
We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that’s the burden of the year.
~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Mass Effect is a game that celebrates diversity and gives gamers the ability to play the game as they see fit. One of the reasons that I love science fiction and games like Mass Effect is that they give us a world where inclusion is the norm and what’s important is what you can contribute to society, to the mission, to the team. It does not matter what is between your legs but what is in your heart. Image by Slovenian artist BarbDBarb. Full-size image HERE.
Happy New Year People!
