Hot Heart

Probably not for how much extra it is. I mean, the soundtrack's nice and all, and I'll be looking at the art book once I've finished. Getting some extra Prothean stuff is good but the hoodie and dog are silly, plus the weapons don't appear to be very good...

Cool. Not sure how often my hours intersect with those across the Atlantic, but worth a shot anyway.

Wake up, Ash, I need to make sure you know you are dumped, OK?

I got ME3 on PC. Think my Origin name is HotHeart. Might be a space or an underscore... You could find me through Dean or Vargras otherwise? I have a Garrus avatar.

I'M COMMANDER SHEPARD AND THIS IS MY FAVOURITE LEATHER JACKET IN MY WARDROBE

My copy arrived. Almost ready to go... EDIT: Release date check? Nooooooo! At least it let me install it all first, unlike Steamworks. Now, to VPN or play a bit more ME2?

This one took a little while to grow on me but, damn, that's two great EPs that Less Than Jake put out recently. These guys still have it!

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favourite tumour on a piece of hardware.

While not great, the sprites thing isn't exactly new to ME3. Go look over a balcony on Illium in ME2 and you'll see the same sort of thing. Not that I ever really noticed or cared about it before.

From what I've heard, as long as you get military strength to its fullest, the ending won't be affected by half full readiness.

That was my biggest "WTF?! COME ON!" I'm assuming there's a temp role but, like some other character's appearances, that's not enough.

I'll spoiler this just in case people want to go in blind. It's concerning rumours about character connections.

Yeah, like I said, that's more a personal thing. Since most of us are big fans, we know where and how to find what we're after. We had a gamerbase at an HMV near us, but that shuttered and then that branch closed (really didn't need two since there was a massive one in the main shopping centre). Problem with that place is that it functioned more like an internet cafe and just involved people buying time to go play WoW or something. Really was a massive waste of floor space as well.

Like 2011, 2012 could be a year dominated by 3s. I did like GAME though. Not so much as an actual shop experience, where it was a load of pap (plus, I hate other customers around here), but being able to pre-order something, usually get it at least a day before release, and usually about £2.50 in points. That's just my personal preference though. Part of it was in their favour in terms of pre-order bonuses (not a practice of which I wholly approve) but I valued that ease and reliability. I'm sure I can find that elsewhere in future though.

In my experience, Americans know of Queens: Helen Mirren, Cate Blanchett, Judi Dench and Freddie Mercury.

Gah, this wait is killing me now. I did take a peek at some scenes involving a particular character and that probably hasn't helped. Also, I noticed the game has an English lesbian. Nice.

Despite the fact that they've stated they intend to end the story this year due to the whole 2012 thing? I could see them exploring other timezones if they wanted though. Just because...

Really? The whole revolution thing was the absolute worst bit of RDR.

I wouldn't say the L2/R2 combination is better than the 360 triggers for racers, that's for sure. Plus, the whole deadzone thing that Ethan has already mentioned.

This. I mean, one preview even says:

I had to buy them because the R2 and L2 buttons suck so much otherwise.
