Well, I've put Mass Effect back in its GameFly envelope and it's being put in the mail tomorrow morning.
I lack only a small bit of the achievements I set out to get, but I depserately need a break from that game. After 55+ hours of playtime, I simply cannot force myself to make two more playthroughs at the moment. Thankfully, my cousin has the game, and he'll be mailing it to me for free so I can play when I feel like it. In the meantime, I can start trying to get other games from GameFly. That is, if they decide they have enough copies to send me one of the good ones... x.x
We'll see how that goes. I'm not expecting much.

Anyways, I know some of you probably think I'm stupid for doing things such as whining about not being able to get a particular achievement, but hey, it's part of the reason I play these games. For me, any way you can have fun playing a videogame is justification for doing so. I ended up getting the achievement I talked about not getting in my previous blog. Apparently the game does not recognize the boss character "Fist" as an "organic" who qualifies for the achievement. I dunno if that makes any sense. Basically you can use the power on him all you want but it doesn't count. So I tried it again on a non-boss and ta-daa! It worked.

So in other news, I'm hoping to finish up Carnivale Season Two in the very near future. I only have 2-3 episodes left and I'm not looking forward to a hey-this-show-got-cancelled ending. It was a slow but elegantly moving show that has built up steam tremendously since season one and it's going to be a shame to see it end. Just watched the episode "Lincoln Highway" from season two and it is quite possibly my favorite episode from any TV show of all time. Yes, even out of all the awesome Lost episodes I could pick. It was simply beautiful. Stunning cinematography and setting and plot progression. It was wonderful. If anyone has seen this show let me know. Even better, if you know the specific episode I'm referring to, you are now my hero.

Also in the realm of TV, I've started watching Rob and Big. Uh-freaking-mazing. Never knew this show even existed until last week and now I watch it all the time. Thankfully I have DVR so I can record them all and watch them in order (yea I just kinda haveta watch them in order x.x). This is my new favorite show.

And last but not least, here is a shout-out to the Colbert Report. It's the only kind of politics I can handle, and proves day by day why these people in this area of our lives are idiots. But that's just my take on it.

Thanks for reading and commenting to those who do! I appreciate it so much.
