    Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

    They're okay in a pinch. Like if I need a snack and they're one of the few okayish things at the food kiosk at work, they're okay. But yeah, like most food items with fruit filling, they've gotten more skimpy on the filling than they used to be.

    Mental Health and Suicide

    When my grandma died last year, I mostly told everyone so they'd know not to press any buttons. Past that, I know I really just didn't want to say anything to anyone about it. I'm sure different people handle things differently. I don't like to talk about it. Others really need to. So I'm just...

    Mass Effect

    For me, it's just the feeling of, I don't care how generous the clock is, I don't like timed missions. Which is weird I know considering how much I love Metroid. But still, you put a tim on it, and something that's supposed to be a fun hobby becomes stressful. Still, it's behind me now. Now all...

    Mass Effect

    I...hate...Arrival! Whether as a Vanguard, a Soldier, Adept or Engineer...I.hate.Arrival. At least it behind me now for this play through. I will say this though, Pyro enemies hav gone from a dreaded pain in my ass to a fun little game of Pop Goes the Weasel. It's like a free grenade.

    Mass Effect

    Wow! I was worried about doing Shadow Broker, but he was even easier using an engineer. That shield of his might as well have not existed against my Overload and Incinerate. I think I may have seriously underestimated the Engineer class. Though I must admit, I do miss my biotic charge, for...

    Ninja Turtles - Cowabunga!

    My package arrived from BBTS today. I don't have many Splinter toys (3 including this one). So Splinter as Van Helsing looked too awesome to pass up. There's also a head included without the hat, but I like the hat. Also, this came. I really love these Super 7 boxes. It's like...

    Mass Effect

    That is one thing about being an Engineer that bugs me is being in a support role. I mean, like you said, overloading flame throwers never gets old. Neural Shock was almost OP in 1 (though seems a bit nerfed in 2). But being in a support role instead of being the one to blast things to hell...

    Mass Effect

    Thanks for the tip. That actually really worked. I may go with that from now on. Not only do I have another scrapper at my side, I also got another level out of it. As much as I like Garrus, his recruitment mission usually gets me killed at least a couple times getting those shutters shut. Nice...

    tec's bar reopened for a 4 time

    *walks into the bar, dusts off a spot on the bar and poors herself a drink* What does it mean to exist? That seems a bit existential for a cyberpunk character. Have you ever read or watched any Cyberpunk? Existentialism is a primary theme for any of it. If we're talking existentialism, I'm...

    Mass Effect

    13 of my 15 play throughs have been fem-shep. Definitely recommend...unless you plan on romancing Tali, which I did with both of my Male-Shep play throughs. The thing is, my last play through with male-shep kinda changed my mind. I still prefer Fem-shep, but...well...I think I said it before on...

    Mass Effect

    You can choose from a decent sized armory and mods. But you can't make them look different If you mean like changing textures or colors.

    Mass Effect

    Welp! I just finished ME1...again. So I guess it's time to start ME2...again. I will say, I'm sure my default class will always be Vanguard. But I'm enjoying Engineer. I always have a hard time with Garrus's recruitment in ME2. I'm not sure how it's going to go while doing it with a class I'm...

    Mass Effect

    I came for the sex scenes and stayed for the surprisingly well written characters and how much you truly begin to care about them and their lives; even more so than other well written RPG's, including Final Fantasy and Zelda.

    Mass Effect

    Well, my story was well documented on the old boards, so everyone probably already knows. But hey, I'll bite. At first "Mass Effect " was just a drop in the bucket of game titles I would probably never play. But then the FOX report about sex in video games hit and it gained some notoriety...

    I mean, it is a video game. Your life doesn't exactly hang in the balance whether or not you do well here. 😜

    Mass Effect

    Give it a try. Decisions do get tough, but they're always yours. I mean, the story will still get to the same places, but how your character reacts is up to you. And you certainly have enough people here, you'll have the best strategy guide you could ask for.

    What toys would you least like to see come to life, if they had to?

    It's probably better off for everyone if D&D minis didn't come to life. Even the designated "heroes" would likely cause a bit of property damage, not even mentioning the demons, dragons, drow...thank goodness I don't have any Mind Glayers or Beholders.

    Mass Effect

    For me, it's not even so much about the gameplay, though even the gameplay is really good (ignoring vehicle sections). It's just how deep the lore goes. There's just so much detail they really didn't have to put into the game but they do. You never have an Elcor or a Hanar team mate. But by the...

    I must admit, it's statements like this that make me miss the old thread that chronicled my journey starting out as a complete newbie.
