a rant with a mass effect

a rant with a mass effect

so it looks like that this is the end of 360plex, or at least it's current format. I won’t speculate on what it will become, but I hope that the name will stay and the focus to remain on the Xbox were the action is at.

This is my first blog post and I will hopefully commit myself to update this regularly, with my thoughts and opinions unfiltered.

What is goin’ on with me, well I am trying to get all 1050 achievement points from Mass effect. It is actually the first game that I will have all the achievement points for lol. In halo 3 I have 975 points, normally I sort of stop getting points around the 600-700 point level.

As for mass effect itself, I love it. Even though it takes like 30 hours to do everything I still like it better than other games with similar time commitments. Actually the only game that I have spent more time in other than mass effect or possibly halo 3 is battle field 2 for pc, here is a link to that profile: http://bf2s.com/player/47284553/, with 322 hours!!!

The one thing that has got me worried is that if bioware is working on a KOTOR mmo it will be 2015 when mass effect 2 comes out. As for mass effect achievements I need to get I only need: Asari Ally, Singularity, Stasis, Damping, AI Hacking, Overload, Sabotage, and Neural Shock achievements. In my current profile I plan to get the asari, overload, sabotage, neural shock and singularity achievements. Once I get those mopped up just the last two and I will be done!

Other exciting developments, well I got one of my friends to change his gamer tag from Mjonz to Corn Waffle. Corn waffle is one of the funniest words I have yet seen on Urban dictionary, here is the link: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Corn%20Waffle. I am pretty sure that over half of the words on urban dictionary has something to do with SH@t or bonking your GF. Another funny one is hot lunch http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hot+lunch+ .

On a totally random note I have some thoughts about mac fanboys. Although I have an ipod the mac fanboys I know criticize me for using a dell m1330 laptop with vista. Personally I like vista and have not experienced any problems with it. But mac fanboys have been statistically proven to go to star bucks more often than windows users, typically drive hybrid cars, active in multiple charities and all of those other stereotypes. PERSONALY I hate people like this because they are first of all completely self centered and they just bash other people for not being like them; not sipping expensive coffee and talking about how horrible people are who don’t donate to Africa and who aren’t active gay right activists. First of all I am a democrat and I bought a freaking product red dell laptop, just because I can’t get all emotionally and crap over every single oppressed person doesn’t mean I want them to die! Everything in moderation people! I don’t get why everything has to be such a with us or against us decision. Also these people who bash other people for not being politically correct are just as bad as the people who say gay people can’t marry. It is the same discrimination and hate that other people use just justified in a different fashion. I guess that I am subject to the same problems with me being against the Nintendo Wii (also the mac people tend to say that the wii is the daughter of god or something). I played the wii before and it is not too bad, I just prefer the Xbox because I can play with my friends and watch movies and stuff. The ps3 I have less issues with because I used to be a Sony fan boy with the ps2, I used to talk about how bad the Xbox was even though I loved halo. When I was first debating between Xbox 360 and the ps3, I kept drifting towards the Xbox because it was cheaper, had the same games and Xbox live. I think I might pick up a ps3 for blu-ray and maybe for a game or two, but the Xbox has satisfied all the necessities I wanted for a game system. I wished people used this process of using reason instead of idealism in all aspects of life. I understand that Microsoft has some problems, but I don’t let the little things in life like the occasional RROD( I am on my 3ed console now) or blue screen of death destroy my life. And in reality I have used macs allot more than pc’s at school but in the end I choose a windows pc over any mac no matter how pretty it is. In a way we can gleam a message from the Wii here, glitz and glamour are not what makes something better, it is how you use it.  

Please post your comments so I can hear your feedback, unless you use a mac.

Just kidding ;)
