Mass Effect
The march towards potential completion of this game that everyone loves continues, as I moved further into the plot. I shot some more scary aliens and found some people, like an entire community worth of people, which was a bit odd considering the location, but I had way too many items, so I was glad to have someone to sell my garbage too. There was a lot of people and talking and boring, and I managed to skip up the event triggers so that I suddenly realize I’m being backstabbed by someone I hadn’t actually met yet. How dare you, person I don’t know!? How could you do this to me?
I’ve also gotten to the point where I’ve leveled up enough that any threat isn’t really one. I’m just walking through it the fights now, which is great, because the fights are the biggest obstacles to actually enjoying the game. I have to find the dude that shooting at me, targeting him with my sniper rifle, and then pull the trigger and hope he dies? What a pain! Luckily I have two bionic allies so that half the time my opponents are being tossed to the ground with great force so that I don’t have to track a moving target. Now I can just fly through the game and learn about what’s going on in the universe.
There was also this surreal moment when I apparently met all the requirements to start a relationship with the 1's and 0's that make up Ashley Williams. She suddenly starts telling me that I’m the best person in the universe, and that she will gladly jump my bones when the mission is over, despite the fact that we’d had maybe two conversations before then, one of which she told me she was a terrible racist, and the next where she talked about the time her sister beat up a dude for assuming sex existed. But I guess killing bugs is the same as months of meaningful intercourse. I’ll have to keep that in mind in the future.
