I have been having a really busy week, which was preceded by a somewhat more low-key weekend. On Friday I came home, played a bunch of video games, and then watched the Doctor Who premiere with dayzdark when he got home, followed by several hours of fun talking about various things. I don't have a lot to say about the new season yet, except that I don't ( Read more... )

I don't think I mentioned it here yet but I did beat Mass Effect 2 on Saturday afternoon. I actually think I liked it better than the first game in a lot of ways. I'll have many more in-depth thoughts about that later. Until then, I'll just say that I thought the loyalty missions were one of the most awesome parts of the game. Nevertheless I ( Read more... )

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite rap song about scanning for minerals in ME2 on the Internet.

My weekend was really nice! When I got home from work on Friday, eustacio and sylmenya were there, and we talked briefly before she took off and he went to sleep (poor guy's got mono so he's sleeping a lot). Later that night when dayzdark returned we played some Settlers of Catan with Noel. In addition, on Friday night I continued my game of Mass Effect 2. ( I guess these are spoilers. )

Dear LJ, as some of you know, I am playing Mass Effect 2 right now (or I will be when I get done with the 2389473894 recording sessions that got scheduled for this week). So far I'm liking it a lot, particularly now that I've been able to stop comparing it to Dragon Age and to enjoy it as its own separate thing. But I find myself at a crossroads ( Read more... )

I mentioned on facebook earlier that I beat Dragon Age on Tuesday night. I also mentioned that I can't remember ever feeling worse about having saved the world. ( spoilers and also CAPSLOCK )

Grosspost: Yesterday kyrryn and ilyeana's FRAKKING CAT threw up in both a) my shoes and b) my ukulele. It was just water both times, but still, a ukulele? What could possess her to think that this was an awesome barfing spot? So I'm doing the responsible thing and giving my ukulele into freeimprov's custody. I did clean it off first, at least ( Read more... )

I beat Mass Effect today and it was awesome! I'll write more about that later probably. That was at about 1:30 and I then decided to restart Bioshock (which I'd only gotten about 2 hours into on my first attempt, then life intervened). I figured I'd play a couple hours, but the next time I came up for air, dayzdark was setting up for D&D and the clock ( Read more... )

Observation: Since I began playing Mass Effect intensively 2 weeks ago and without making any other changes in my dietary habits, exercise frequency, or life in general, I have lost 3 pounds.

Conclusion: Video games are good for my health and I should definitely play them more often.
