Here's an idea for anyone celebrating Easter...
This Easter, I have a suggestion for all of you planning Easter egg hunts for the kids: Put all the eggs in a pile in the middle of the yard and surround them with weapons in the style of the Hunger Games’ Cornucopia. Unleash the children and watch the madness unfold.
HAPPY EASTER GAMES!

Was looking through the Game of Thrones tag just...
…and the .gif of Cersei slapping Joffrey already exists. All is good in the world.
And yes, I expect at least one Joff-Slap for every season Joffrey appears in. I will gradually amass them and, one day, display them in all their glory.

Sansa: Where are you from, anyway? The North or the South?

Just beat Mass Effect 3 (Spoilers Ahead)
I’m not going to post a rant or anything, but regardless, spoilers sort of after the break.
[[MORE]]
I don’t know how I feel about the ending. It was a tough choice to make, like lots of choices in this game, but it was weird, to say the least. I feel like it really didn’t depend on your previous choices at all, which sort of bothered me. I may post something more complete on...

So I've been checking my Amazon orders obsessively
I ordered Mass Effect 3 on Amazon for delivery tomorrow (Free downloadable gun! Hey! $10 Amazon credit! Hey! I don’t need to even leave my house to get the game. Hey!) and have been checking the delivery status periodically all day. The message: “Shipping Soon.”
SOON.

Mass Effect 30-Day Challenge: Day 30
What do I like most about Mass Effect?
First of all, darn it. I thought this thing was going to perfectly end on Tuesday when the game came out. Oh well. Anyway, to the topic. My favorite thing about Mass Effect is probably definitely the story.
The fact that so many choices have repercussions is awesome. This game puts so much in your hands, and it’s unlike most other games in that way....

Mass Effect 30-Day Challenge: Day 29
What made me want to first play Mass Effect?
Okay, so my first 360 red-ringed around the time that a bunch of classic Xbox games were coming out. So I missed out on a lot for the like 2 years when I didn’t have an Xbox. I had seen my cousin play ME1 a while back, and thought it looked interesting. When I finally got a new Xbox this Christmas, I started looking at which games were considered...

Mass Effect 30-Day Challenge: Day 28
On the Quarians & the Geth
So Tali and Legion are two of my favorite squadmates. That being said, I really don’t know where I stand on the Quarian/Geth conflict. I guess the Quarians didn’t really handle the situation well, but the Geth also responded in a way that was less than ideal. I mean, some of them siding with the Reapers? Who does that benefit? They kill everything!...

Mass Effect 30-Day Challenge: Day 27
On the Genophage
I thought this was a really interesting moral dilemma in the game. On the one hand, I can sort of see why the Salarians and Turians did it. On the other, I feel like the fact that it’s driving the Krogans to extinction is pretty messed up. I feel like there must have been some other way they could’ve eliminated the Krogan threat, so overall it was a mistake that did...

Mass Effect 30-Day Challenge: Day 26
Least Favorite Companion
Hmm, I guess I’ll go with this chick:
I know it’s probably a sort-of unpopular opinion, but hear me out. I didn’t like that Miranda never really opened up or seemed to fully trust you (Granted, I didn’t romance her, so I am probably missing something). She seemed to be all Cerberus, which really bothered me. Also, her abilities were sort of meh,...

Mass Effect 30-Day Challenge: Day 25
Favorite Class in Mass Effect 2
Again, I’m going to go with Vanguard. Although, I’ve got to admit, my Vanguard experience was very different in ME2 than in ME1. II remember doing the tutorial and it telling me about charge and me essentially thinking, “You want me to do what now?” You see, I’m normally the type of gamer who panics once the borders of the screen start...

Mass Effect 30-Day Challenge: Day 24
Favorite Class in Mass Effect
Vanguard. I love Biotic skills, but having some secondary gun skills really comes in handy. I played Vanguard in ME2 as well (We’ll get to that later), and I will almost certainly finish up the game with a Vanguard Shep in ME3. Lift ftw.

Mass Effect 30-Day Challenge: Day 23
Which squadmate would I want to get a spin-off?
Hm. Hmmmmm. Maybe Thane? We don’t really know a whole lot about him, and maybe like a prequel of his assassin days would be cool. And there would be so many hanar! The game could be sort of like Star Wars: Bounty Hunter (What? I liked that game!). It could work.

Favorite book
I have read none of the Mas effect books. All I know is that, apparently, Deception was problematic.
