Goddammit, NPR, where the fuck is Tell Me More. I don't want to listen to some other weird woman talk about hemorrhoids and fiscal responsibility for half an hour -- I want my hotass Michel Martin back, you assholes.
Also: I accidentally left my Pokewalker in my pants that were thrown in the wash. That thing is not made of Nintendium. At least I didn't have any of my main team in there, like my Dragonite or Mamoswine, because then I might have just died a little inside.
Double also: jesus christ on a pogo stick Hardcore mode in ME2 is just awful awful awful
I can't even imagine how much more difficult it will be going up another step to Insanity
haha I should play an Adept on that run just for the sheer horribleness factor
I would never be able to get out of the Cerberus facility in the beginning
the entire game would be an endless loop of this:
Is the enemy dead?
Yes -- move on the next one
No -- USE SINGULARITY
Did you use Singularity?
Yes -- use Warp
No -- USE SINGULARITY
Did you use Warp?
Yes -- is the enemy dead?
No -- USE WARP
occasionally interspersed with gunfire if you're feeling particularly daring. Except you don't get to shoot that much because all you have is a pistol and a submachine gun until you take another weapon specialization much later in the game. FUN TIMES. Biotics were so much fun in the first game, but it feels like they got heavily nerfed this time around. Vanguard abilities are practically useless until you take out all the enemies' shields/armor/biotics, and at that point you might as well just shoot them dead instead of Pulling or Shockwaving them.
I am having loads of fun as an Infiltrator, though. It's like the game wants me to shoot people in the head, and it's so, so wonderful. I've never had a game want me to shoot people in the head like this before! Most others I've played usually limit the usefulness of sniper rifles by giving them low supplies of ammo, setting levels in cramped areas, or just plain old not giving them to you, but ME2 is all like, "WE HEARD YOU LIKE HEADSHOTS, HERE IS AN ENTIRE GAME WHERE YOU CAN KILL EVERYONE LIKE THAT IF YOU WANT," and it's like Christmas and my birthday and Free Comic Book Day all rolled into one. I can't wait until I can get the M-98 Widow, awww yeahhhh.
