gingers and running problems

February 11th, 2010

GASP!

Okay, now that we got that out of the way, I’m back to procrastinate homework and to write about Mass Effect 2. I might be way fucking late with this but truth be told I’m surprised I have time to do something other than check Facebook once in a while. After this, I’m going back to homework. FUCK.

So Mass Effect 2…

It’s good. I mean, it’s obviously good, this has a “no shit sherlock, thanks for that update” comment written all over it, but I mean, it’s…good. The dialogue is great, the voice characters are phenomenal (helllllooo Seth Green!), and the storyline is fantastic. I mean, it’s an RPG so it gives you that WoW-feeling without running into a bunch of 13 year old fuckwads. Plus, you can “grind” by mining planets for metals to pay for upgrades. Pretty fancy, right? You get to mine a planet by shooting probes into it whenever there is a high concentration of a particular metal. The music, too, deserves a mention. The best part? NO MURLOCS. Well duh, this isn’t WoW, yes I know assholes but that’s the game I was addicted to so technically this IS a big deal for me and it’s MY BLOG so whatever.

So..what’s up with the running in this game? Do you notice how Shepherd runs a little…off balance? He has his head in a 45 degree angle and it looks like he’s completely disoriented, or about to go Rambo and crash head-first into a wall. Come on Bioware, you spend all this money on Martin Sheen as the Illusive Man and Seth Green as a bunch of people, but you can’t make the characters look like they didn’t just slam a half liter of tequila? Really? Come on. I’m disappointed in you. Also if you’re reading this, Bioshock 2 looks amazing only if I promise myself not to play it at night.

Oh, and Shepherd is a ginger…just sayin. JUST. SAYIN. Do you hear me? Ginger.

And I’d also like to give a big FUCK YOU to Valve for LFD2 because I’ve woken up at 5am to see my fiance pounding on the keyboard and yelling at the little dirtbags the game assigns him with. He plays it so much it doesn’t give me any time to play! >:|

Last but not least, I stumbled upon this fucking awesome screensaver that I couldn’t peel my face away from. It was so mesmerizing and beautiful. For anyone who loves space, at least check it out. It’s fucking awesome. Did I mention how fucking awesome it was? The screenshot doesn’t give it justice. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a screensaver to trip out to.

Space Screensaver of Fucking Cool
