So the post office is late with ME2. :mad:

I am on Noveria in ME and just talked to Ashley and guess what she said.

“Nobody lick any poles.” IYKWIM :smiley:

No wonder DP was so mad at her the other day. :wink:

My order is now at the ‘processing’ stage. It’s not looking like I’ll get it tomorrow. I might be able to get my ME1 playthrough finished as there’s no way I’ll finish it once I get my copy of ME2. I’m really hoping for a Friday delivery.

depending where you got it from its entirely possible the site is just having trouble updating because of the volume of the same thing going out, I’ve gotten numerous games from amazon with release date delivery that on the site would still show ‘processing’ and not even show shipped but would still arrive on time

UPS is decent for the most part, I use to load trailers in there, though the way they grind you not to its pretty hard to miss a scan, but if you come across someone who’s getting utterly buried its possible

I do all the shipping at work too and we use UPS for 90 percent of our stuff going out, in terms of ground delivery they’re usually a little better than FedEx and are generally about a dollar cheaper as well which is why so many internet stores use them since a lot of them just charge a flat shipping charge

someone probably posted this… but it’s my first time seeing and i am very very impressed…

and Yvonne does keep her accent, though it feels like she fused some Russian accent into it…

I’m not mad at her, I’m mad that the LIs in ME2 are so good that I want to cheat on her but won’t because I’m a standup dude, to my crew. Everyone else I’m a right ass to because it’s more fun but my crew we’re tight

What about half-Poles?

Mass Effect 2 does 2 million
Friday 29-Jan-2010 5:15 PM “First blockbuster of 2010,” says EA

Mass Effect 2 has “sold-in” over two million units worldwide in less than a week, claims EA, making the BioWare RPG the “first blockbuster of 2010”.

While many of us dislike giving money to EA, Bioware is a worthy developer.

Overstock got my Collector’s Edition of the Strategy Guide right. Just got it. Still waiting on a good price on the game again.

XFD

Oh that’s good. Bravo

I finally got and installed the CE version.

Umm… This game is too FPS-y. I play one handed (cerebral palsy) and I suck at FPS games. I was hoping it was more Dragon Age or Baldur’s Gate-y game play. I can’t target precisely and take a lot of damage.

I started as Infiltrator. Perhaps there’s a better class I should try?

Suggestions? I’m already using the “Casual” difficulty.

TPS-y you mean? Cause it’s not first person.

Play as an adept or sentinel, they’ve got a lot of homing attacks

An adept might be a better class for you.
You can let your squad handle the dirty work and use your biotics to push and pull enemies into their line of fire.

I’m trying sentinel now. A bit better. Hacking safes are a pita though.

Let me just say that for all the soundtrack lovers out there that even if you don’t play the game, check out the soundtrack. It’s even better this time.

MASS EFFECT 2 ENDINGS DOMINATE TWITTER (NO SPOILERS HERE)

@cwgabriel: At the end of mass effect 2 you find out that Shepard was a ghost the whole time! #ME2endings

@Joe_SuperDPS: Shepard was promised a high rank in Cerberus, but Jay Leno took it back from him #ME2endings

@joshgeeksix: Shepard discovers that the princess is in another castle. #me2endings

@DavidManly: Shepard discovers that he is inside the Matrix #me2endings

@benhamill: The game is going really well and folks are looking forward to where the overall plot will go. Then Fox cancels the series. #me2endings

@Joe_SuperDPS: Shepard I know you just saved the Galaxy and all and imma let you finish, but Halo 3 had one of the best endings of all time! #me2endings

That’s so funny. Almost makes me want to get a Twitter account to follow this.

Which is even more amazing when you realize that it was only available for what… six days in January?

I started as Sentinel and liked it. Doing a run through now as Adept and liking it more. I was afraid adept would be too Mage-y, but it’s must simpler than having to shoot stuff.
