Today, there was only two people working, myself and the supervisor. No, it wasn't an excess of work, since there was pretty much nobody anywhere else at the college. In fact, it was an exercise of boredom management.

However, the cafeteria also closes early now, so I went to the psychology professor's(who I also report to) office to see if he had anything else for me to do. I find him as he's trying(read: failing spectacularly) to import an image into a PowerPoint presentation(note, image in question was a Flash video) by right-clicking and then opening it(how the hell?) in Word. Asking him for something to do(my advice on what he was doing is ignored) leads first to a pitch at trying to get me to enroll at the school, followed by an interrogation of my personal life(when I say I don't want to talk about it several times, I. Don't. Want. To. Talk. About. It.), finishing up with being thrown unceromoniously from the room when someone shows up, a meeting that takes the entire rest of the day.

Oh, internet woes? Fantastic, I have my own batch too. The horribad router my ISP provided whose firmware managed to cause bluescreens (I voided my warranty on it to update that since they took 3 weeks replying to physical mail) is a fickle bitch and today, I just can't connect. No matter the bandwidth I get is pretty damn bad here since Bay doesn't really need much for quality lurking but this is the who even knows which time I do it from a phone and the operator here is more reliable than someone meant to provide me with liquified cats >:V

Contract ends in June, if I remember right, not a way I'm making this sort of mistake again.

Ashley from Mass Effect >_>  I think I could see myself becoming a Renegade based solely on my desire to punch her in the face and flirt with Garrus.  God, what an asshole.

My internet problems seem to be originating from the router(or somewhere in between) and not my wireless card. Good, since that means my wireless card isn't failing(assuming it and the USB antenna I also tried is failing the exact same way). Bad, since there's nothing I can do about it.

The racism and the fact that she's not really personality-heavy outside of that.

Kaidan I want to punch in the voice.  Carth gained himself a permanent spot in the ship because of his voice actor, and I think that Kaidan just has, too.

Definitely going with the lesbian route >_>  Asari-chick is cute and I'm all for xenophilia.  Though I'd rather establish some sort of horrible traumatic shindig with Wrex.

Don't think you can do Wrex, there's another Krogan party member in the second one that flirts with you, but I seem to recall he's not actually an option either.

It would be easier to list the people Shepard doesn't end up flirting with.

You can't flirt with it if-
It drives your ship
It's not organic
It has four or more testicles

FEH

To be honest, though, I really like this game.  And I really like the voice actors, who are generally great.  And I like that the alien races don't feel as ineffectual as they generally do in Star Wars, and that the prestige class is something that's become newly open to humans, rather than seeming dominated by them.

The inventory system kind of pisses me off, but I've been playing from the point of view that inventory management Is Going to Be A Thing, so stuff really hasn't been too bad.  I wish there were an "organize by type and level" button, though.

RPG-style inventory is mostly done away with in ME2, so don't worry about it.

Star Wars is pretty low tier when it comes to having aliens that mean anything.

Yeah, though oddly enough this is the first higher-tier thing I've found.  Nice~

The games get progressively less RPGish as they go along, in ME2 they change the combat from being more strategic, to being more of a cover based shooter, they also retcon in thermal clips, stripped away the inventory management, and introduced a somewhat more linear gameplay, with less of a "roam around doing stuff" feel to it. ME3, continues this trend.

Oh, and the second one also introduces the glow-in-the-dark shephard, with more glowing the more renegade you go.
