Nice long fun weekend. Saturday night, went to zarathustra94 and turdburgler for geek fun. Sunday, the guys came over to watch the playoffs. K's happy the 49ers won, clevemire is prolly none too pleased the Pats lost. K brought over Indian food from Tandoor. It was pretty good, I've never had a Samosa before. Tasty, albeit spicy. I wonder if anyone has ever has Samosas with Mimosas?

Monday, headed over to C-Note's and went out to Cho Wan buffet for Korean BBQ. Delicious as always, then had dessert at SunO. Then we watched The Warriors since C had never seen it. Followed by part of some Korean war movie. Well, a Korean movie about war. Well, it also took place during the Korean War, because what else would a Korean war movie be about?

Imagine coming to the end of the book and finding more book

Finally beat ME2 today. Got everything the way I want it, so no need to replay again before starting ME3 like I had to do with the first ME. Since there was a limited amount of credits in this game, I was worried I wouldn't be able to get everything. But I was able to not only buy all the armor and upgrades, but the fish and hamster and all the ship models, with credits to spare! (I wasn't planning on getting the fish, but apparently if you get the one special blue fish to survive both games, you get a bonus when you NG+ ME3) Ended up romancing Miranda. Although it was actually kinda annoying since I accidentally locked her in early, which I didn't realize would cut off the conversation options with Jack and Tali.

I had heard if you kept a LI "locked in" and the others in the "challenge" stage, after the suicide mission you could dump who you were with and play out the other romances. Since I wanted to see what they were like, I saved, and then dumped Miri just to see what the other two girls were like. But after I told one or the other that I chose them instead, it would go through their romance dialogue, but then the game would crash afterward. Owel, I actually cared more about the dialogue than some pg-13 animated sex scene, but still! But yeah, I didn't know about Jack's old partner who sacrificed himself for her and was the first person actually there for her and wanted to build this happy life for them. Kinda sad. And Tali's little crush was quite endearing. I heard some people complained it was out of the blue and pandering, but why wouldn't she be crushing on Shepard? He's the first human to not look down on her kind, always treated her with respect (well, at least the way I play him) and he's this big friggin hero who survived giant killer worms and mind-controlling plant monsters and a race of ancient sentient space-ships and their organic and robotic agents. Why wouldn't she be all hot for him?
