so far, this weekend featured a lot of feelings and tears!
Friday: Entirely by chance, I stumbled upon a post on tumblr, about how the ME3 Extended Cut lowered the requirements for the "best" ending. I honestly hadn't known about that before.
So, I played the last few hours again.
And screamed and failed and wailed a lot at the screen, even when I was still waaay away from the ending (as you do, when you play ME3).
(And then I had to reload the last few minutes, because even with the extra bullshit-explaining-babbling from the Starchild, my first instinct still was to turn around and shoot him. THANKS A LOT FOR THAT CHANGE AND FOR GIVING ME A HEART ATTACK, BIOWARE.)
And. Well. Mass Effect is playable again now. I'm so ridiculously happy about that, it's. Well. Ridiculous. I feel like writing a love letter to the Mass Effect fandom, for Holding The Line, when I had already been trying my best to walk away from the disappointment. Curiously, I don't really feel like Bioware deserves my thanks? Every tiny thing of this EC should have been in the game right from the get-go, not just from a story-telling perspective, but because that's what they promised us. Anyway. I'm able to consider playing Mass Effect without feeling heartache again! :D
Saturday: I watched Brave (German title: "Merida", because German titles are stupid) with my BFFs. I got emotional a lot. Cried really hard at the ending (family conflict + crying characters = instant waterfalls). We three had the entire cinema to ourselves, but I was still glad for having mastered Silent Crying a long time ago :P
This was pretty much the first (non-anime) animated movie that I genuinely enjoyed, and not merely suffered through for my parents/friends, ahaha. Usually, these movies just don't click with me? I don't know why. Anyway, Brave was really really good.
Sunday: Don't have anything planned yet, but I hope the day will feature less emotional turmoil XD
I'm so addicted to Pokémon Conquest right now (but at least my BFF Ann is, too), it's baffling. Or I'll continue another one of my ME playthroughs. Or play Skyrim.
Weekends are for world-saving!
