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.

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?"
