Shepard don’t fear the Reapers

Posted on July 29, 2014 by baudattitude

So that was about 70 hours, mostly well-spent I think. I should put more words here. I was a bit skeptical about the Mass Effect series before I started it.  To be honest, I was mostly turned off because it … Continue reading →

Still playing Mass Effect

Posted on July 27, 2014 by baudattitude

Finished ME2 and launched right into ME3 and immediately got a sense for why there was so much griping about it when it came out.  Still, it’s pretty amazing and I’ll put something up here about my thoughts on 2 … Continue reading →

Streetpass Effect

Posted on July 22, 2014 by baudattitude

I mentioned a month or two ago that I’d taken to collecting Streetpasses on my Pretty Princess Pink 3DSXL, and that I’d gotten a few Special Miis thanks to E3. That was cool and all, but really I wasn’t getting … Continue reading →

I Geth I Was Mistaken

Posted on July 21, 2014 by baudattitude

I spent another four hours with Mass Effect 2 tonight, and I’m happy to report that the Geth DO show up. This entry in the series feels a lot more like a shooter than the first one did.  That’s far … Continue reading →

Don’t Drink, Don’t Smoke, What Do You Do?

Posted on July 20, 2014 by baudattitude

Much derp in Tachikawa

Posted on July 18, 2014 by baudattitude

I’ve been known to go quite a bit out of my way to go to places I’ve seen in anime.  I went all the way to freakin’ KOCHI, of all places, just because I really liked Umi ga Kikoeru, and … Continue reading →

That’s not gonna help the backlog.

Posted on July 17, 2014 by baudattitude

So I just got back from a week and a bit in Japan.  I’m happy to report that it’s still there, still terribly polite to clueless foreigners, and generally a fun place to wander around in even if it occasionally … Continue reading →

I regret nothing

Posted on July 17, 2014 by baudattitude

Sobering Thoughts

Posted on July 7, 2014 by baudattitude
