Power Glove Love

So, after Josh BLATENTLY called me out, I’ve decided to throw down my impressions of Mass Effect.  I intend to keep this short, as I have to get my pre-Thanksgiving stomach distention on, if that made any sense…  Anyhow.  I’m REALLY enjoying this game.  I’ve been told it’s better than KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic for you that have been living under a rock) of course since I’ve never played KOTOR I’ll have to take their word for it.  I’m somewhere near 8 hours in and have only completed 3 main missions.  That may sound bad, but the hours FLY BY.  I’m not one to play a game for any more than an hour or so before I get bored and/or distracted. (Oh look, it’s raining…)  But I keep jumping on Mass Effect, telling myself I’ll play for 15 minutes or so, and an hour later I’m finally looking at the clock.

Time for a new paragraph.

You are given several options during your player creation screen, such as background, class, and psychological profile.  Whew, big words.  The game is affected by almost everything you do, making it so immersive it’s crazy.  For example a short time after a suprise interview, I got an intergalactic call on my intergalactic cell phone by my superior congratulating me on how well I handled the reporter’s asinine questions.  The game continues like this with its movie-like cutscenes and immersive storytelling.  But just a warning to all of you, don’t start it unless you have time.  After shutting it off to do some homework I was jonesing to play it again 15 minutes later.  So much for class…

Two more things…

 I truely am sorry about the gigantic picture, but I felt it was the only way to express my view of Josh.

Also, why is an upper case ‘I’ smaller than a lower case ‘L’?  “I’ll”
