    One thing that's somewhat disappointing is the music. Don't get me wrong, the music itself is quite decent in itself, however it is very subdued and understated and is very much minor background rather than sweeping space opera exploration. It doesn't quite have the emotional kick/carry off that the music from the ME trilogy have.

    Having that late night re-watch of John Carter. There is something about that film that I just enjoy. A certain pulp adventure silliness that starts to cross into space opera. That, and Ciaran Hinds and James Purefoy obviously just having fun bantering between each other once again after Rome.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TIvv7FMshU The bit to really pay attention to is Patrick Stewart's comments around the 3:11 mark... On the widely separate subject, this might interest a few folks: FilmSchoolRejects - The Purity of John Wick

    Welcome back, even if it is just a flying visit.

    The original game was completely unplayable with a mouse, how does that work? Like Freelancer or more like Privateer 2 which officially supported mouse play but was nigh unplayable* with it? * Not that Privateer: The Darkening was ever "playable" with even the best input hardware. That game's a mess. So so. The non-flying parts the mouse is reaaly damn slow to crawl over and it works better using the keyboard to move the cursor around. In flight, it's a bit more Freelancer like, possibly a bit too smooth and quick so its very easy to overdo movements.

    Tickled my humour by downloading the original Wing Commander via Origin. Although flying it with mouse is an interesting shift from the days of old...

    Heh, actually one of the things that amuses me is that a lot of the flaws people seem to rail about for ME: Andromeda at the moment are ones everyone seems happy to accept for the last few Skyrim games. Some awkward facial animations, a few graphics glitches, shallow elements, a bit of an odd UI, very up and down voice acting and dialogue.... Okay, it's not what you'd hope from a Bioware game, but at the same time, can't we have similar standards between games and their reviews?

    I think most DnD enthusiasts shifted to Pathfinder a few years back...

    Polygon - ME Andromeda Review In many ways, this does sound like the first ME. Rough bits and flaws, with some elements of spectacular or emotionally moving space cheese. I think it's going to be one that's hard to decide upon until you've really gotten into it for a good chunk of the game rather than just the opening hours and introduction.

    Happy belated Birthday Tale. Also, congrats Hurl on surviving to one of those milestones. Or is that on keeping your kid alive to reach those milestones? I went with a relatively escapist Sunday of reading and listening to music after the struggles of insomnia. Trying to distract myself from a few circular thought patterns before the week starts anew and the various things get juggled. Realised it's actually been a couple of months since I've had any meaningful conversations with anyone. That slightly weird realisation that the handful of local friends in the area share pretty much none of my interests and have all been engaged with babies/new kids, marriages, work and holidays. That and I've had the automatic slide into "polite, friendly, charming" mode whenever I've left the house and had to deal with general acquaintances and people at large.
