I put Mass Effect 2 to rest last night and I have to say that they are right, who's that? Everyone. Mass Effect's appeal is almost universal amongst gamers, sure a single game can't hit the buttons for all gamers (With the exception of Peggle) but I feel that Mass Effect hits far more than a game such as Dragon Age.

Personally, I do prefer Dragon Age to Mass Effect 2 for many reasons, such as story, setting, combat, pacing. There's lot to love about Mass Effect too though and it's definitely no slouch in any of those areas except for the structure which doesn't really give out any surprises, but hooray for them for making if far clearer when your about to take a mission that will make you unable to go back to the Citadel after accepting it, I really hated that about ME1.

GO FOR THE OPTICS!

I don't want to run my mouth on about Mass Effect 2 or else this'll end up turning into a review, I mostly just wanted an excuse to includean image of the miniature giant space hamster.

I also tried another video. Now my last one was on the 360 and that ran fine,although for some reason the Wii seems a little laggy, I'll have to explore why but when you're getting about half a second of lag on a game like SSBB it can really throw you off, at least that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I've been thinking about recording a longer video of No More Heroes 2, but without any back and forwards with someone besides a microphone I'm afraid it'll be a little flat. I've also considered doing some videos of some older titles such as Amiga games, I've spoken about them a lot before but if a picture is worth a thousand words, I can do about 3000 words a second with a video.

How about all of you, what would you like to see?

I said I'd be using my new microphone for something. Just a test for now.

I don't be-lieve it I dinged level thirty in this game we call life over the weekend.

I can't say I did a lot, but that was mostly my own choice, I opened some gifts, talked to my parents over Skype, got some crackin' Chinese food and topped the day off with some twenty year old Simpsons episodes. Sure it may sound boring to some but I've never been one to make a big deal out of a birthday.I did get a Xbox 360 steering wheel and a pretty sweet MXL 990 microphone that I'm hoping to use along with my webcam to start recording a lot more video content in the future... we'll see how that goes.

Hope you all had equally great weekends and I'll talk to you all again soon.
