Yeah, but if done right, they can be pretty amazing.

Borderlands was so good that I played it so much that now I can't stand it.

Another dozen hours or so in FireWall: Zero Hour over the weekend. I can't go back to flat screen shooters. I need to get some of you lot on board so we can get a Fort Squad set up.

I reinstalled Mass Effect. It's still pretty good. It does look like a 10-year-old game, but I can stand that. One thing that I have to be sure to remind myself of is to quick save a little more frequently. I was about a half hour into a long mission involving Matriarch Benezia that, surprisingly enough, I had never played before. I had driven the Mako to hell and back, and was way inside a building. At one point I opened the elevator and about a million mobs jumped me. Restored to the last save, and I was back in the garage where I started. Well, shit. I guess the game was trying to tell me that it was time for bed.

ah yes, the mission on Noveria with the Rachni. I made the mistake of doing that one first on Insanity difficulty before I had leveled up using 'easier' missions like Feros or side-quests. The final battle must have taken me at least 50 tries.

I can't remember how auto-saving worked in that game but it sounds like it wasn't very good :)

Thinking back on it, I had played it before. I remember having to get the garage pass to get to the garage, etc, etc.

re: quicksave. Bioware's Dragon Age: Origins was the same way. Don't be shy about leaning on the quicksave key, unless you like starting some monster mission from square one.

I might go out and grab a bunch of mods to make it look a little better. It's fun, but a little ugly compared to 2018's state-of-the-art.

i know this is a selfish request, but keep posting about your gaming experiences with Mass Effect. It lets me revisit the game which I loved so much.

It's really fun to hear about.

I got Dead Cells on the Switch. Damn, that game is cool! It's already way better than Rogue Legacy, which is the closest thing to it that I have played. We will see how far I get, but I can see me spending some time here.

Any of you guys playing Frozen Synapse 2? What do you think? It has a great look and it's getting some good reviews... very tempted.

The first Synapse didn’t grab me the way I expected it to.

Got to the first boss in Dead Cells tonight. This game is awesome.

Got to the first boss (Concierge) again in Dead Cells. I have around 3 1/2 to 4 hours in the game so far and am still loving it. I got the boss down to about half this time. I was poorly equipped to deal with him; I was still using the starter sword!

Toad used to be one of my favourite characters in Mario Kart. As of today, he’s been RUINED. Thanks, America.

George Takei tweeted, "Whatever you do, please do NOT go figure out why Toad and Mario Cart are trending today."


...i wish I had listened :(

I have to imagine we are the generation that knows the most about Presidential dick shapes and coloration. Though to be fair, Barbara Bush just missed knowing the shape and size of FOUR Presidential dicks, RIP.

In actual on-topic news, I am trying to get into DESTINY 2, but it seems so sluggish. You need to invest some serious hours before you feel like you are doing anything cool.
