Oh man, I totally forgot about that. I had so much fun not having ammo all the time.

Running, dodging bullets to punch robots in the face is how true Sheps do it. :wacko:

Yeah, doing that on harder difficulties leads to Swiss Cheese Shepard. Though that happens anytime you're out of cover for longer than an 8th of a second.

All I can say is this.

Skyrim = hooked me for days.
Oblivion = can barely tolerate to even finish the intro section.

So yeah, do try Skyrim if possible, even if you find you can't get into Oblivion.

Yeah, this is true. Skyrim is dope. I just don't like the campaign, though it was good to have direction.

I am kinda doing that. I have two Mass Effect 2 playthroughs to complete; one Vanguard FemShep and my current Infiltrator FemShep. I refuse to play Mass Effect 1 again. Too much shit to keep track of with limited functionality. Inventory limits with no inventory count? Powers take 30 seconds to recharge? Film Grain?

Oh, and I intend to scan every planet in this Infil playthrough. Should extend the game a bit so I can delay ME3 purchase until I can afford it.

Film grain can be turned off. I never use powers. Ever. I have played through 1 and 2 countless times, and I bet I haven't issued power commands more than 10 times total.

"Run"? "Dodge"? My Vanguard Shep knows not of what you speak. Charge, punch, shotgun, charge. :angel:

EDIT: Oh, and all y'all waiting for ME3 might find these extras a little interesting. Never heard of that game, but it's not like demos are ever all that long, and it might be an interesting game.

Throw a few Shockwaves in there and you should beat the game in relative swiftness.

If you're serious about buying a netbook you may want to consider getting an ultra portable instead.
They still don't have an optical drive, but the screen size is usually 11" or so and some of them can be upgraded to 8GB ram.
And many of them have 64bit OS pre-installed.

The ones I've looked at are in the same price range as netbooks.

Netbooks = shit.

My sister paid $300 for a netbook with specs that are lower than the laptop I paid $50 for. :wacko:

I played through ME1 as an Adept. Wanna know a secret? I didn't use powers, either. Took to long to recharge. Pistols were OP in that fucking game. Damned near sniper accuracy at range, fast cooldown, high damage and shit like Shredder Rounds or Tungsten Rounds ensured that no enemy was capable of standing up to your trigger finger.

ME2, however, is a lot more balanced. Hasty recharge on things that matters (ammo powers, singularity, pull/throw, etc), while super powers had a lag (cloak, charge, adrenaline). Oh, and pistols are still the go-to weapons for classes other than Vanguard and Soldier.

I just bought an ultra portable for my niece for $298 and got an ext DVD-RW for free with it.

11.6" led screen
AMD E450 (dual core 1.65GHz)
2GB DDR3 1333MHz (2 slots, maximum 8GB)
AMD Radeon HD 6320 (uses 512MB......not sure what the max is yet, could be around 1.5GB or possibly 1.92GB)
320GB HDD
Win 7 64bit Home Premium


Just have to upgrade the ram.
I was thinking about installing 64bit Ultimate, but she probably has no need for it :revwacko:

Aside from the CPU (I have a C2D @2.2) that thing puts my laptop to shame. ;_;

It's not bad for a cheap tiny little thing imo :nod:
Certainly better than a netbook (which is what she asked for) of the same price :lol

I figure by this time tomorrow evening I'll have the ME2 :platinum:. Conservative guess.

Gotta admit, really enjoying the game. I would even pre-order ME3 if I wasn't going to be out of town when it's released.

Honestly, I thought Insanity was going to kick my ass, but other than a couple of spots here and there, I haven't had that much trouble. There are a few fights where I wish I knew what I was doing beforehand, though. Mainly against the massive swarms of husks and abominations. Seriously, fuck those guys.

Charging enemies with armor? Fuck this shit.

Aside from that, 'twas but cake.

Sprung sucks at games.

:wacko:

Ugh, 9am came around too quickly.

Gonna lay around in bed for another 10 minutes or so. I can hear what sounds like hail stones smashing off my bedroom window. :-/

Really don't want to go out and leave my bed now. :(

Pretty much this. Once I got the hang of using the different weapons and ammo types, it really wasn't that bad. I think I only died three or four times in the final mission, compared to about twenty in some of the earlier missions.

Just gotta go back and clean up the stuff that I missed tomorrow. Mostly combat related trophies and getting to Level 30. Should be fun. :nod:

But for now... bed time.

Time for me to get out of bed and brave the outside world. D:

Speaking of which I really gotta get started on a project of some kind.

Meh, I'll do it later.

Interesting. I mean, I'm pretty sure there are instances when the older game is really the superior one, but I just never understood people who are convinced that 100% of new games suck donkey balls.

Also, I need to post this. It was one of the related articles.

Look at #6. I refuse to believe they are only using that for dentistry-related activities. No way. Not in Japan. :wacko:
