    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.

    For a few interesting points on the nature of open-world gaming. Gamesraddar - Middle--Earth: Shadow of War might solve open world gamings biggest problem

    I have to admit, I'm amused by the mocking of Paul Ryan over the #pintgate mess from St Patrick's Day. Offending the Irish by holding a despicable pint with no head and a poor way of holding it. Just rounding off the amount of Irish'isms the Washington court carried out in an attempt to show their blarney.

    Think how many potential flashbacks, hidden audio logs, and memory moments could turn up in the rest of the game. I get the feeling there's a lot more Clancy Brown used.

    A philosophy professor walks in to give his class their final. Placing his chair on his desk the professor instructs the class, "Using every applicable thing you've learned in this course, prove to me that this chair DOES NOT EXIST." So, pencils are writing and erasers are erasing, students are preparing to embark on novels proving that this chair doesn't exist, except for one student. He spends thirty seconds writing his answer, then turns his final in to the astonishment of his peers. Time goes by, and the day comes when all the students get their final grades...and to the amazement of the class, the student who wrote for thirty seconds gets the highest grade in the class. His answer to the question: "What chair?"

    To be fair, there's a big slice of "I barely knew my dad. He was always working/busy/away. Plus half the reason we're out here on Andromeda is because he did something that got his official military career ended in dishonourable discharge and it's part of the surviving family starting fresh" background to it as well. You do get the mix of options of playing it "I didn't know him" versus "I still loved him" For the devil's advocate role as well, both the Ryder kids have been hard trained in crisis management/pathfinder apprenticeships in a sense, so doing the whole compartmentalisation and dealing with the immediate problems at hand facing 20,000 people potentially dying in the relative short aftermath of his death isn't too hard a stretch. Hm, I wouldn't say the opening happens fast or makes little sense, it all pretty flowed in a logical manner (as Space Opera can get). Just in case anyone might find it too spoilerific:

    Eh, I got the first.. 5 or 6 elusive targets but now can't stir the interest to actually go back.
