In Which I Talk About Mass Effect 1 & 2

I never finished Mass Effect 1, at least until the day Mass Effect 2 was released. I picked up ME1 on PC during Steam’s holiday sale intending to finish it so I would have a save to import into ME2. I played ME1 on 360 originally but never finished it, so the Steam sale provided a nice way to play the game over again, and get the save to import.

Quick iPad Impressions

I’ll keep this quick. I kind of don’t care about the Apple iPad. It looks neat, but I’m not about to pay $500 for one.
