I've been having a rough time lately (work, finances, etc) but this past weekend I decided to re-play Dragon Age: Inquisition. I know it's not the best game out there - and I would like to eventually get a PS4 so I can play Witcher 3 - but man, is it fun to run around and kill Darkspawn; so cathartic. Also, I'd forgotten how funny Iron Bull can be.

It's the weakest game in a lot of ways but it has the best companions!

I genuinely can't say or hear 'Blackwall' without descending into girlish giggles.

And Dorian is basically a magical Errol Flynn.

And Bull's romance scenes.

It may have felt like a MMO where I was the only person on the server especially with the way quests were handled and how the story unlocks, but I still find it ridiculously enjoyable to play.

My one major bitch is that none of your choices affect anything! Seriously, they affect NOTHING.
It makes it feel like a set-up prologue for the next game.

... I forgot my favourite complaint: waaaaah Bioware are trying to force their social agendas on me. (That one cracks me up all the time. "Oh no, I asked someone a question and they mentioned their wife but they're female so that most mean they're gay and that Bioware is forcing gay marriage on me! *gasp!*)

Likely won't happen, but it would be so nice if Bioware just outright stated 'We're including this. Don't like it? Don't play. We don't need your money.'.

Yeah, I didn't like the MMO-structure of the quests and combat, but the companions were great! I played many many hours of this game, though that's possibly at least partially because I bought the game directly following my divorce.

Yesterday was so beautiful that I was actually grinning out the window for no reason. It was sunny, warm but not humid (about 24 degrees, or 75 for you Farenheiters)...a perfect day, at least for me, even if it was a Monday. Of course, now it's raining and I'm sitting at my desk trying not to fall asleep on my keyboard, but yesterday was lovely indeed.

My Mass Effect Andromeda Initiative t-shirt and hoodie just arrived!

Also, Matador order a M without looking at the actual sizing so it's heaps big (the M in this mens size is the same as the XL in several other mens hoodies, weird) and he doesn't want it which is too bad for him but brilliant for me! It's my new snuggy!

They actually gave the role of Cable to the exact actor I wanted to play him.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

I'm at a show for The Dear Hunter and Coheed and Cambria tonight. The Dear Hunter just finished their set by transitioning a piece of their Black EP - This Body into She's So Heavy by The Beatles. Fuck. Yes.
