I finally did the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC. I -had- to continue my Liara/FemShep relationship but I hadn't until now. Eeeeeeeeeee! I died from the cute.

Yeah, I love the battle atop the ship itself, especially when using throw, charge, etc.  I also love all the bonuses you get once you complete the mission.

My wife bought me ME3 for an early birthday present.  I've been avoiding the ME3 thread because I don't want to be spoiled on the story.  Overall it's fun though it seems like you have less choices this time around.  Also, the controls are a little loose.  I've been killed a few times when I went to duck behind a wall but I instead rolled and stood up.

Yeah, the revamped cover system manages to both suck and blow. I don't know how many times I've pressed the button to enter cover, only to roll out and get shot up.

I dunno, I'm missing being able to roll in ME2. Rather badly. I'm dying more because of the lack of rolling. :(

Which bonuses? The six upgrades and the extra power?

Maybe 'bonuses' isn't too accurate.  I meant you get upgrades and materials, along with credits (for investments), along with Stasis.

I also love all the info on everyone.  Grunt bought himself an action figure, Legion got kicked off a gaming site for taunting, and Tali is a covert pervert.

I liked Miranda's and Jack's. I was hoping there'd be one on me. :(

Grabbed Anachronox yesterday for $5.99. Aside from the horrible Final-Fantasy-VI-esque combat, it's quite a fun RPG.

Finally found where I put my copies of Thief Gold and Thief II.  Gold's being a bit...flakey, looking into fixing that.  However, Thief II's working like a dream.  You know a game's good when you can spend almost 30 minutes on a single level...and not even notice the time going by.

Oh, and, one mission in, and I already had one heart attack moment.  I love this game!

Yeah that would be cool.  The other thing that annoys me about ME3;  "Insert Disc 2, insert Disc 1, insert Disc 2, insert Dis 1."  I've been doing this every other mission!  I actually yelled at my TV, "Make up your #%^#@$ mind!"

I also kind of wished they had even a small practice range on the Normandy so I wouldn't have to go down to the Citadel whenever I wanted to try out a new gun.*

*Edit, found another weapon bench in the back of the room of the gun range.  Duh!

I can't waaaaaait to get the first two Thief games for my birthday. I've been looking for a game to give me those heart attack moments for so long.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

For my "definitive" playthrough of ME2, I saved that scene for the very last. That was beautiful.

I'm doing it on ME2 as well. I've had to change it about four times now. Probably my own fault for hopping all over the place but still.

What is it with people on DDO and dissing my fucking characters?  My little Drow Ninja Monk got dissed because, due to her being a two-weapon fighting Monk, had high AC as a result.  I got dissed for "AC tanking."

Guess who died exactly one fucking time?  In 4 quest runs.  Half on elite.  Yeah, Mr. "Badass Sorcerer," I stayed right behind you in kills, and died 5x less often than you.  You, good sir, can eat a dick.
