Science Vs The World!

..Okay, when this gets a proper release date, this is so going down on my "Must See!" list..

But if, as they suggest Leviathan is going to add potential War Assets.. and it will be slightly hard to run the "Take Back Omega" that a lot of people think is coming post-earth assault..

So after waiting all this time to go through a second playthrough when the extended cut was released to "fix" the mess that is the ending... Now they're teasing us with more dlc that you will have to do before the game ending anyway. So perhaps better to have another long break and not complete it just yet until the rest of the potentially interesting dlc is here..

Well he's in his 80's.. And when he isn't voicing things in computer games, ala Skyrim, he's actually in about 3 films comining out this year..

Looked around, but dang it, we still don't have hoverboards.. Today is "Future Day" by Back to the Future standards...

So they've released the trailer for Dredd now.. Along with the film synopsis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PifvRiHVSCY

Rock of Ages. It's actually quite amusing and throws the rock n roll nostalgia at you. Although Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand have kind of spoiled "I can't fight this feeling" for me. Twistedly funny, but some things you really don't want stuck in your mind...

And does that 2 gig download actually change anything else in the final set up beyond just those last cinematics? I mean, its possible to have saves from when you were fighting on earth, but Bio have the "you should load your save from just before the assault on the Cerberus Base". So that would kinda suggest there might be a few other subtle changes or further boosts in the midst all of it..

The "refusal option" really does seem to be something they put in for all the people who complained about how Shepard wouldn't have just accepted "Star Kids" word.. but at the same time is still pretty much a "screw you" to the people that wanted that. It's pretty much a fancy "you lose" option.

I did see something about how the studio actually did shift Prometheus, so the script isn't meant to be "prequel to Alien" but more stand-alone with potential connections to the universe in general.

I enjoyed most of the Black Company, although as you say it gets a bit twisty as it goes along in the following books. The one thing that's always struck me as a touch awkward though is how the language used is very.. vietnam war film transposed into a fantasy world .. When you get the soldiers discussing how to "frag the officers" or such like.

And of course 1.3 is now live and working. So they've added some more graphical functionality, and supposedly also made improvements on it so lower-end machines will work even better in handling it. They've added a slew of "Character Options" to the Legacy component, so rather then opening them up for every alt you have on the server, they'll only be available to specific characters. But you can use them to tailor extra xp awards to specific areas. So if you focus on Story Quests beyond everything else, you'll be getting more xp for those, and thus won't need to do so much other stuff to stay levelled.. Or for PvP warzone, or Flashpoint or.. etc. Also a bunch of "convenience" options to improve affection gain from Companions in different situations, the likelihood of getting criticals when crafting.. Pretty much just a few small "goodies" rather then anything too flash. Although the ability to get a Speeder at level 10 rather then having to wait till level 25 is probably going to be a wee bit useful... I really dislike not having a speeder when I first arrive on Nar Shaddaa...

Having a rather odd day. I don't know why just have that odd lost/adrift sensation as if I'm not actually tethered to anything in my life. Trying not to get overly involved in things with the relatives over at the moment, and almost randomly poking at some work related things to see if my mental processes kick in any forms of genius.

Oh you can get "life sentences", it's just that it's quite often x decades rather then actual "life".

Well after a really nice chilled out two days where I got to relax because relatives and family went off to visit other family together that they hadn't seen for a few decades.. They arrive back and hand me a "family project" to look into. In that "oh, you're good at research and knowing how to use the internet.." - apparently a certain black sheep relation who we all thought was dead.. is actually serving life in jail for rape and murder. So they want me to find all the details.

Heh, I actually had an Aliens marathon over the weekend, got all four in. Alien 4 is kind of interesting in that it's written by Joss Whedon and he has remarked a few times how they followed the script in general, but in every scene he wrote, they've emphasised the wrong element and removed what he'd planned which has it coming across in ways he never imagined it could be done. Does make me curious as to how he had it sketched out originally.

The Rocky Horror Batman Show?

I think the original point was that the trailers were all gung-ho action, whilst the film is pretty much not an action film. The complaint was that the trailers gave you the wrong impression of what the film was about...

I guess this means I might try finishing my second ME3 playthrough then.. oh and some multiplayer to get that War readiness up a few percentage again... I've kind of been ignoring it all until this was released..

It really depends on your playstyle and your level of ocd... If you get in a couple of pvp matches and a few starship missions here and there to break up the play of missions you can easily skip the bonus series, or even chunks of the world missions. I have to admit, I push that myself because I find I loathe hitting Nar Shaddaa and not having (relatively) quick access to a speeder... Here's looking forward to 1.3 and the legacy option that will let you pick up Speeder licence at level 10...
