Tale

Launch trailer is pretty darn exciting. I'm hoping the actual cutscenes and dialogue will be as adrenaline pumping in the game. They were pretty good in 2, so there's little cause for doubt.

One of the two main sources for spoilers loves the game. It's kind of funny like that. He's pointed out weaknesses of the endings, but he'll tell you that he enjoyed it enough to be on his third playthrough already. That's pretty optimistic. I expect to continue hating the ending. But I'll probably enjoy the characters and gameplay. Vega may even turn out to be likable and not Ashley with muscles.

Vessel Water physics puzzle platformer. Pretty fun game. Puzzles are so far mostly easy to figure out. Except one bonus puzzle that would have gotten me the stuff for upgrades. Not the most stable game in the world. I have some repeat crashes doing certain things in certain areas. The crashes are turning me off, however.

Not quite, Malcador. If you want full spoilers, send me a PM and I'll let you know whatever.

Vessel released on Steam today. For the guys who like indie platform/puzzle games. Been really looking forward to it, personally. I'll try to remember to render an opinion in the what are you playing now thread today or tomorrow.

I highly suspect Bethesda would take issue with you trying to make money off a mod project. I wouldn't want to see you get wrapped up in legal troubles over it. I cannot recommend that course of action.

Avoid the usual spots if you're worried about spoilers. They've been trickling for a couple days, but a deluge is starting.

I doubt any of the Cerberus crew will be allowed back on Normandy. For any reason. Joker, Chakwas, and EDI being obvious exceptions. Two are former Alliance, one is the Normandy itself.

New Normandy walkthrough. Oh man it is going to be so depressing going to all the old stations and not seeing ME2 crew.

Yes it does.

Are Salarian infils using shotguns or what? Mine is not nearly as impressive as I expected it to be.

And they called me crazy for buying alien invasion insurance. WHO'S LAUGHING NOW? Why won't my agent answer the phone?

Yeah, I'm sure. Phantoms also have one. There's a special animation. Phantoms will skewer you with their sword. The Atlas picked my Krogan up and crushed him.

I blame lag. Not really, I definitely underestimated Vanguards. I also found out Atlases have a one-hit kill move. I mean kill, no bleed out, just die. Who knew? I thought it and I were having a delightful boxing match before that. Rumormill time. Spoiler value: -5 no spoiler content, but might rage Spoiler value: 3-7, subjective spoiler content kept vague

That's pretty common contest boilerplate.

Finished my Mass Effect 2 run. Well, mostly. I have done all sidequests and gotten all upgrades except Medigel 6. Why am I always running out of Platinum?

Apparently my 46" has a failing LCD panel. I will miss you, little buddy.

About to do the Suicide Mission in ME2. Running around and buying stuff. I hope visiting Illium and Tuchanka without doing missions doesn't kill crew.

They never did that intro sequence 10 years before. It is the worst one they've ever done. I won't take it as a condemnation against the entire game Mass Effect 3, but it's nonetheless troubling.

People hating on DAO. Yeah, well I hate your favorite games too!

I can't fathom too many people buying this game just for horde mode. But I'm remarkably ignorant on how CoD sells, too. My own ignorance astounds me.

I love Shamus Young. I wish he were my DM. But I also wish I had a DM at all.

One of the three Human Revolution copies I bought was for an associate and I felt generous. One was because I wanted hats. And I also wanted feelies.

I would be flabbergasted if I hadn't just remembered I bought three copies of Human Revolution. What the heck is wrong with us? At least my Digital Deluxe for ME3 is also getting me BF3.

Steam has never sold Bioware DLC. Except with the DAO bundle.
