      Sure do. He gets vocal if I'm taking a web call or otherwise talking to the computer, it seems. He's an orange cat, so therefore not always in possession of the one brain cell he shares with all other orange cats.

    Im still holding out hope that there is some surviving prothean colony or something somewhere. If javik could survive, surely there is another Ilos type ppace somewhere that better lasted.

    Hahaha.. I got confused for a second there at the start as my UA-cam Playlist had a bunch of 40k vids before this.
    Started this glancing protean in the title only to see last church quote 😅... Got me wondering if I was still watching 40k before the video begins & I see Shepard

    The point of the protheans isnt that they believe survival of the fittest is a rule of the universe because they were hunters, as if this ideology was some type of anomoly. The point is that every cycle before ours believed some version of this, or acted this way. Thats why synthesis was never possible, why the reapers kept culling the galaxy.

    The barbarians were first mentioned in ancient Greece thousands of years before ancient rome. The word "Varvaros" was used to describe the tribes who attacked ancient greece from the far east and their language sounded like var var var.
    As ancient Greece was so advanced in politics and democracy, seeing those "barbarian" warmongers, living and attacking like animals, the word stuck as we use it today. ✌🏼

    Am I the only one that never picks up the prothean squadmate in 3? It's petty, but he flirts with Liara, and I don't play that shit bruh, blue space wifey is on an all me diet and your dead ass species had its chance 😆

      @@SavageTyler91_aka_AlwaysNerdy I didn't say he wasn't cool. Hell the fact that Liara is so inherently interested in him is the whole reason it puts a bad taste in my mouth. Don't get me wrong, in real life you have to work through trust issues and cheating paranoia but in Scifi fantasy land I've killed men for less 😆
