Neverwinter Nights 2 first timer, anything I should know?
That reminds me, that I still have Mysteries of Westgate floating around somewhere on my games partition, waiting for me to have a serious go at it.

Mass Effect 3
I'm not sure there is any. Unless they are very careful with what screenshots are released it's something that people will easily be able to see prior to release and judge themselves. Came across the orginal post make of it what you will. "It's a runtime memory cost, not a disk space issue. You need those anims for the non-combat areas... so they're going to be on disk regardless. In order to support exploration in the combat areas, you'd need to have all the anims loaded in memory... so that would be things like the 8-way walks, runs, incline anims, idles, idle twitches, male/female variant overrides, eye noise... etc. All in all (iirc) it came out to around 2-4MB, which is relatively significant. Also, as you've guessed, yes - I'm referring to the main game (as well as the demo" A shame there is no source for the above. Otherwise I would point at that next time somebody claims the game isn't aiming for lowest common denominator when developing for multiple platforms

Independent Funding With Kickstarter
Nice try at advertising, but I think it said Indie developer, not Indian developers

Mass Effect 3
Are humans really that different? Eat and breed and compete. The meaning of life (abridged Gorth version). There's a webcomic that ties arrival and me3 together, basically Shepard goes into the brig after nuking the batarian system (with Vega tasked to watch over him), while the Alliance grabs Cerberus's super frigate to experiment with. I'm pretty sure that there's another Normandy class scout frigate (or several) mentioned in ME2, but I can't find a reference for it. Arrival? I was probably hoping there would be an in-game explanation Wasn't the original Normandy an experimental prototype? Thats where I got the idea that they would be quite rare. I liked having Mordin and Zaeed along Didn't care much for Garrus, the disillusioned cop gone vigilante schtick wasn't convincing. He and Jack spent all their time apart from their loyalty mission on the Normandy while the rest took turns joining Gorth Shepard in saving the galaxy from its own ineptitude. Edit: I would like to say that I ignored the lizard man too, but I can't remember his name >_

Video Cameras
Thanks mkreku. I've been considering getting a separate video and "still" camera, it just seems like a lot of bagage carrying around. Few things looks more silly than tourists spending more time trying to sort out there equipment than just enjoying their holidays I don't need it for a few months yet, so I'll keep an eye on the Sony HDR-CX740VE too. As for zoom qualities, it looks like most HD Camcorders comes with 10x optical zoom. Found one that did 12x, but otherwise you'll need attachments or professional grade equipment indeed.

Mass Effect 3
A few "footnotes" regarding the demo. Why does deep space vehicles have blaring horns? Seem to remember it from War of the Worlds (the bad version). Where did they hide the spare Normandy? A copy of the first one or did Shepard get Normandy II as a severance package from Cerberus? I noticed that health doesn't seem to regenerate magically anymore. A small blessing, but welcome none the less. The female Krogan made me smile. Poor Wrex None of my favourite ME2 companions looked to be available as team members. Ah well, maybe in the full game. Edit to add: Oh, and who got the clever idea of hiding screen resolutions under "Extras"?!?

It's true, for all our patriotism, the USA tends to treat soldiers as a disposable resource. We have a large enough underclass that we

Mass Effect 3
Not that I know of. I managed to remember one of my EA logins though and could use that one as my Origin login. Tried out the demo. Not sure what to think yet, as apart from the humongous cutscene at the beginning, it was mostly showing off the "combat". Unfortunately that reminded me how much I hated corridor shooters. Positive was the lack of some horrible "bypass" minigame for locked doors. I'll probably give it a second chance once it has been out for a while and becomes available as a bundle with all DLC's (something I wish I had done with DA:O and ME2).

What are you playing now?
Been playing through a few more battles in Gratuitous Space Battles. Bought one of the expansions too (Galactic Conquest) but haven't had time to try it out yet. Fighters seems obscenely overpowered.
