Random Confessions

Mass Effect
I was annoyed that Shepard has to argue with Zaeed when he sets the refinery on fire. My Shepard let Kate Bowman die under nearly identical circumstances; he's not about to give a fig about some refinery workers.

After the Thessia mission, it's impossible for me to like any of the asari. The asari in general because they kept that beacon a secret, and Liara because she won't shut up about the Banshees. Hey, tentacle-head, Shepard's had to deal with human zombies for three freakin' years now! Get over it!

Was I the only person who was confused as to why Shepard was locked up while Jack was made a freaking teacher between Mass Effect 2 and 3?

Dragon Age: Origins
The more I learn about the Chantry the more I'm convinced it's an oppressive dictatorship that needs to be put down. I'm mildly religious and I feel this way, so it kind of baffles me that other people don't.

I gave my female Warden Dalish armor. I keep telling myself that it's for the dexterity bonuses, not the limited coverage. I don't believe me yet.

"Broken Circle" from Dragon Age: Origins was recycled as "Ardat-Yakshi Monastery" in Mass Effect 3. Just sayin'.

And then there's the voice acting, which has led to Zaeed Massani (Experienced Male Warden) hitting on Matriarch Aethyta (Morrigan). That is... special.

I have never wanted to slit a video game character's throat within two seconds of meeting them... until I met Cullen. His introduction starts out exactly the same way as Liara's (trapped in a forcefield, thinking you're a hallucination)... and then he starts ranting about killing everyone who's different. If I could have left that Hitler Youth wannabe in his forcefield for the rest of the game, I bloody well would have.

It took me a while to realize that Isolde wasn't married to Teagan. Because they are totally boinking each other.

Immediately before I quit for the night, I found a tier 7 bow when most of the item drops are in the 3-4 range. It's like the game is teasing me to continue.

My female Warden was romancing Alistair, but after seeing his Nexus fantasy dream in the Fade, she's having second doubts.

Law School
Notre Dame's online class resource thingy is called Sakai. I find this funnier than a Babylon 5 fan should.

Today in the 7th Circuit oral arguments, Judge Posner looked about as tired as I felt.

Judge Sykes reminds me of Laura Roslin.

The liberals on the Supreme Court could learn a thing or two about epic rants from Justice Scalia. Of course, the liberals on the Supreme Court could also learn a thing or two about the Constitution from Justice Scalia.

Post-Craig Review: Dr. No

 Back to the very beginning. This is a lie. "The beginning" would surely be a review of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel Casino Royale...
