I've barely even touched it so far, to be honest (EO IV). What I've seen of it is lovely though! Been busy with other things and haven't had much time for gaming, let alone BL replies. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you!

Mass Effect

Yeah, it's been too long since I played it. Still officially my favourite game of all time. I know it sounds stupid, but I have honestly been too scared to play ME2 as how do you follow the best game of all time? So it sat there for a while, then DLC started coming out and I picked them all up and decided I should maybe get all of that before I start. Then my Xbox was dead for a while. Then I was ... well stuff was happening in my life. I wanted to set aside time to play that, and only that as I have a terrible habit of being distracted.

Wasn't even going to get ME3 for a while, but the #solcomms live tweeting of the fall of Earth on release day was an example of social media done very, very right, and having lots of silly nerds roleplaying the end of the world on Twitter got me ... honestly, it got me emotionally involved and I went out and bought it that day.

Thought I would very quickly finish my abandoned level 60/Insanity run and go straight to ME2. Bought in a bunch of supplies, had several days off, thought I could get it done and dusted really quickly and straight onto the sequel. But then ... well I had to go and get all the minerals on that planet. And then I had to go and do that side mission. And then ... yeah, there are reasons why both my completed runs on ME took 43 hours each, because I am compelled to drain the game dry of every single bit of content.

Oh, and I LOVE driving the Mako across barren planetscapes and I wish fiery death upon all those who complained about it so much that it was removed from the sequel.

Because I can tell it's going to be a long one, I've already got a little distracted on the ME tidying up as I just need to plat this MotorStorm game they were giving away on PSN. It's the Vita, such an addictive little console. It's cold right now and curling up in bed with a handheld is more appealing than sitting on a chair next to a drafty window even to play my favourite game of all time. Only 12 more medals though, almost done, plus I got a new little heater today. Going to pace myself reasonably for the rest of my level 60 run, and then totally shut down everything else once I start on ME2 as planned.

So overall, you're leguminous about the whole thing, eh?
