First things first: new music to your right. Enjoy.
Recently most of my time has been spent being enthralled by Mass Effect 2, which I feel is already safe to call game of the year. It is strong on nearly all fronts, from combat to story to character interaction. While I found a few of the story elements frustrating (Kaidan/Ashley’s involvement being the biggest offender) overall I am extremely satisfied with the game, having played it to completion twice already, with a third run in progress. I’m still finding great new bits squirreled away, like funny dances (spoilers, I guess) and straight-up industry trolling.
In my last update I talked about buying a new graphics card and hoping for the best. Unfortunately it hasn’t worked out. The first couple days I had it, I was getting random blue screens, and after that the computer started shutting down about every hour. It seems like a power issue to me. Though my supply matches the requirement the card asks for (400w) I guess you need even the slightest buffer for when the card is doing its thing. Without any recourse I guess I’ll return it and blow the money on some other wasteful endeavor. Man those were some pretty graphics though.
Finally, I’m pretty sure this is one of the signs of the apocalypse.
