Today I got a chance to try out the demo for Mass Effect 3, earlier than the Valentine’s Day release date. I would like to send out a big thank you to movie321456 at the Bioware Social Network for offering me the code. Thanks! Anyways, I have spent a great deal of time thinking about how Mass Effect 3 will turn out. I have had my ups and downs with it. One day, I think it’s going to be terrible and a massive disappointment. Other days, I think it will be the end all be all RPG of our time. It can go either way, after all, Bioware has a lot to deliver on, and many fans have lost faith in their ability to deliver the goods. A lot is riding on Mass Effect 3, which means that a lot is riding on this demo. So without further ado, let me offer my take on the demo. I have already given my perspective on the beta leak not too long ago, so I will avoid being redundant. In case you were not aware, the demo features the opening on Earth and a portion of the mission on Sur’Kesh, the S...

I don’t like horror movies. They never scare me. There have only been two horror movies that I have seen that genuinely freaked me out, The Thing and the original Evil Dead. That’s it. I normally like to shy away from creepers, slashers, chillers and freakers because of this. That being said, a friend asked me to accompany her to see this movie (which I admit, I never even heard of it until she asked) so I said, sure! Why not? The worst that could happen is that I get to write a review about the flick. And now, it is so. The Woman in Black isn’t so much a horror movie as it is a spooky thriller. It’s about some guy who stays in a haunted house for some reason. Honestly, I really don’t know what was going on. Harry Potter played some kind of lawyer, I think. He was trying to sell a haunted house. Maybe he was a realtor. I don’t know. Anyways, he stays in the house and it’s haunted. That’s really all you need to know. The house itself is occupied by the spirit of one...

A funny thing happened to me this week. I became that which I have always wanted to become. A grizzly bear. Well, no. Not really. I didn’t become a bear. No. The truth is, that after years of trying to become a real writer, perfecting my craft, publishing a comic, and running this blog that is designed to make you inferior beings just a tad smarter, I have made it! Yes sir. I now feel comfortable calling myself an industry professional. An honest to God writer. How did this happen? I will tell you sir. I will tell you. Only a few days ago, one of my posts made its way to a certain forum. Now I won’t go into detail about what the slightly disparaging post may have claimed about an upcoming threequel game. And out of sheer respect for the community, I won’t B other S aying N othing about who read the article. In any event, the post was panned and I received what essentially amounted to hate mail. No threats mind you, just a few petty insults, a bunch of dudes putting w...
