Quote by Katarn StarKiLR:


That mass effect 3, hasn't announced these characters for return

Grunt
Kasumi Goto
Morinth
Samara

These are the only Squad mates that haven't been confirmed for Mass effect 3.

Also only 1 new character has been announced, expect 3-5 more. So a total of 7-9 squad mates not annouced



I am sure they will all make some kind of appearance in the game.

Not really, in my game, Samara + I killed Morinth. But I know there was an option to kill Samara and use Morinth. So, it may be one or the other.

Grunt, on the other hand, has been not so quietly relaxing in the female camps making lots of offspring. If I were him, I wouldn't leave that place, either...:p

My bank is a small local credit union. We stay loyal to them because they were the only ones who would take a chance on me and my husband when we were first starting out... Having said that-

The bank goes down for maintenance and debit updates somewhere between midnight and 3am. During this time, the debit card is useless and all transactions are rejected. I learned this the hard way.

You'd think I would remember it- but I forgot and my $150 worth of Christmas grocery shopping was just declined. Gears grinded.

The postal service.

Here starts my TL-DR rant

I had a package that was coming DHL Express Mail. DHL did what it was suppose to do and transferred the package to my local post office since it was going to a P.O. Box. The package said it arrived at my post office this past Saturday, well they didn't have the ticket in my box yet, so I figured, oh well, they just haven't sorted the mail yet. I go in today with printed out tracking information that states that it is there. What does the guy behind the counter tell me. DHL doesn't deliver to the post office, that's a fraud. Meanwhile, I got the information directly from DHL and USPS's websites. After arguing with the guy for about ten minutes I got got pissed off and walked away.

I got on my phone and looked up the number for DHL customer service and gave them a call while still in the post office. After talking to the lady on the phone, who thankfully was very helpful, she had me put the guy at the post office on the phone. He was on the phone with her for a minute or so before his face got beat red. Not sure what she said to him, but I think she made him look like a fool. He types something in to the computer and walks in to the back. He comes back a few seconds later with a package with the giant letters "DHL" all over the box and sits it on the counter.

At this point I started laughing. I then looked at him and said "So...... DHL doesn't deliver here huh? I guess I must be reading those letters wrong. What does that say again?" To which he still wouldn't reply.

I took my package and left. Once I got back home I called the USPS customer support number and explained to them the situation. They apologized to me, and as an added bonus, they are sending me one of those prepaid visa gift cards for $20.

Just kidding, that really was an awesome story. How the hell did the guy get it in his mind that it was "fraud" that DHL was claiming to deliver it to where he's working?? That shit is ridiculous.

For real, that shit is fucked up. Although, maybe Dexter will try and fuck her or something next season... :confused: Seems like the sick shit they would pull on an HBO show, then have them both be serial killers and both of them die in the end... Then Harrison grows up to be a serial killer...
