There's so much I love about this video. And I know people will tell me the Colbert-era was probably their favorite, but I can't help but love the current batch of correspondents. Wyatt Cenac and John Oliver get me every single time.

Anyone seen this yet? It's a real pile of trash.

To try and keep this spoiler free while warning everyone, the movie's explanation for how the main character performs and gets away with all of his antics is so ridiculously shallow and unrealistic that I felt cheapened for watching this the entire way through. Uhg...

Obama Mocks Coming Health-Care Armageddon

Abel_Prisc says...

Yesterday I heard two of my co-workers talking about this. Sort of.

Co-worker #1: "Did you hear what Obama said? He was mocking Armageddon, can you believe that?!"
Co-worker #1: "Isn't that something? How do people NOT think this man is God-less?!"
Me: /Facepalm

They then continued to talk about how our now God-less country is going right down the toilet. Then they said something about Socialism. Then something about Satan. You know the routine.
And yes, this actually happened. and yes, I live in the deep south...

Wow, I didn't realize I'd be of a minority on the sift who absolutely loved Mass Effect 2. I have a love affair with Bioware, and think that the Mass Effect universe is so refreshingly original and creative (not to say it's not influenced by other sci-fi brands in some ways, but what sci-fi DOESN'T borrow from other properties?), and I was fine with the fact that they stripped down the RPG mechanics of the first one.

Mainly because ME1 was already a fairly stripped down RPG anyways, so why not streamline it a bit more? Before ME2 came out, a huge number of people complained that ME1 teetered between being a shooter and being an RPG, without enough elements of either to make it flow without feeling a bit awkward. Bioware heard these cries, and decided to streamline it, which in my opinion makes the game a more enjoyable experience ultimately. If they decided to make it a more heavy RPG, like Dragonage, then not only would they alienate a good number of their fans, but it'd be too similar to their other properties. Mass Effect stands on it's own ground, and I can only hope that the trilogy will be held as one of the great storylines in video game history. That's what it is to me.

I was so bummed when I finished the game. Right now I'm working through ME1 again so I can use an imported character.

And Netrunner, I agree. But that's generally how part two's go in trilogies these days. Part one is always a standalone nemesis, then part two sets up the storyline for the real big problem and focuses more on the intricate side-stories, while part three focuses entirely on the huge main-plot finale.

(Not much of a spoiler, but still...)***SPOILERS*** I really wish that I could find more out about the Illusive Man, though. I'm looking forward to what they plan with that character. I still get that feeling that although he hasn't really done anything totally questionable, I still shouldn't trust him. Plus, those eyes creep me out! *END SPOILERS*
