	As we all know, Mass Effect has some of the longest waiting times when on an elevator. What do you do to past the time while waiting? _________________ The reapers will rape us all. Unless Shepard gets his act together and kills Saren.

	Either mow the lawn, change the oil in my car, or read the Silmarillion from cover to cover again. :B In seriousness, I don't mind, gives me a chance to grab a drink or a bite to eat while playing. _________________ "Secure those negative waves, Durand." - Shepard Crissium and Idaho Gamertag: Wind and Rain

	1. Listen to my party members talk. 2. Listen to the announcer talk. 3. Imagine where I am and where I'm going to if you zoomed outside of the building and were looking at me in the elevator like a blip on the radar. 4. Watch the lights circle over the character's heads while being impressed by the real-time lighting. 5. Look at someone's butt. 6. Watch the floors pass by outside of the elevators. 7.Imagine myself shooting a Geth in the head, seeing it's light bulb explode, and watch it twitch on the ground. 8. Look up close at the default Shep's face and realize how much more detailed it is than any other character. 9. Imagine myself working at BioWare making Mass Effect two without as many elevators but still a few to avoid load screens. 10. Try to figure out what all those lights and buttons on the ceiling of the Normandy could possibly be for since nobody can reach them. 11. Take a crap. 12. Imagine myself stealing all of Chris Priestley's skulls out from under his throne and see if he notices it when he sits down, etc, etc... 13. Imagine what would happen if BioWare named Mass Effect two: mASS Effect #2, the return of the butt reapers. Elevators don't really bother me, I'm a patient gamer, I only seriously do #1, 2, 3, 4... and 5. _________________ Check out my Mass Effect Movie in this topic, third post down: Click Here Edited By Zandercode on 01/05/08 22:55

	Listen to what the characters have to say...why do people find them long? Is everybody so impatient around here? How do you get the 70-hour playthroughs then? _________________ - "Oochy-wootchy-koochy-coo", Captain? - An obscure Earth dialect.

	1. Grab something to eat. 2. Have a drink. 3. Listen to the news/convo in the lift. 4. Adjust my seat and pillows for the long haul. 5. If the elevator still hasen't finished, I would have restarted my Xbox by now. P.S. 70 hr playthroughs by killing Thresher Maws on foot, takes ages Edited By Koudoo on 01/05/08 23:07

Takes about a minute each. Unless you explore the UCW on foot... _________________ - "Oochy-wootchy-koochy-coo", Captain? - An obscure Earth dialect.

	I usually wait to go to the bathroom while on an elevator or throw wood on the fire(we have a wood burning stove and save a bundle on the heating bill). But I mostly like to listen to the characters' conversations or listen to news announcements. Elevators really don't bother me though but what does bother me is people who complain about them constantly. _________________ "All that we see or seem, Is but a dream within a dream." - Edgar Allan Poe

	I press the recall button on my remote and watch a minute of television. Edited By Land_Stander on 01/06/08 00:48

	1) Listen to the conversations between my party members. 2) Mess around with the camera views in the elevator and amuse myself. 3) Admire Kaiden's butt. Passes the time at least. 4) Grab a sandwich or a snack to pass away the time.

	I try to imitate epic camera maneuvers by switching between slow and fast spinning of the view around the elevator's occupants, abruptly stopping all camera motion once the bottom floor is hit.
