I Thought I Was Out! - 3/8/2014

So, I did it. Again. I missed it, I admit. More than I'd like to. There just isn't anything better out there. Not yet. There will be, someday, but not yet. Shepard called, and I answered.

Once again, I have installed Mass Effect.

When the sound started up, the sort of electronic sigh that hits when the splash screen comes up, I grinned, just a little. It was like coming home after a long vacation. Away was good, back is better.

Walking back onto the Normandy, I can almost smell the “this is not leather” seats. I remember the layout of the ship, the conversations that start the game. Hearing Admiral Hackett (Lance Henriksen) and Captain Anderson (Keith David) discussing whether Shepard should be submitted as a Spectre candidate made me smile wide. And I still remember every enemy in the first mission. squee.

And I'm playing my favorite class for the first episode: Infiltrator. Sniper rifles, pistols, electronics and decryption. Nothing else is necessary in this one.

So far, I've just picked up Ashley, and am about to discover Nihlus' body. Then the long series of runs from the Citadel all the way to Ilos.

I'm even looking forward to the Mako (aka the Chunderbus).

Talk to you all later, after I shoot a whole bunch of Geth.
