Right. So.
About a month or so ago, I picked up Mass Effect. I didn't think I'd like it, so I thought, "I'll play it when I'm reeeeeeeally bored and sell it on when I get fed up of it".
Then my middle Xbox died, and took my FFXIII disc with it. I'd be lying if I said I was OK with this. I still only owned three Xbox games, so I slammed Viva Pinata in there and played on that. It is quirky, I like it, but, like all Sim games, I kind of get bored when I can't think of things to do (and run out of money, lol).
So eventually I put Mass Effect in. With trepidation, I might add. I made myself a female Shepard, her name is Jennifer (named for the awesome cat lady in Bucky O'Hare*). She is awesome, and I want to draw her so I can show you all, because I darn well wish I could screen cap (we can have dodgy pics of my TV again if you like?) I'm going to do another playthrough with male Shep just because I can.
But the point is that I played for maybe two hours, and I was addicted. I LOVE IT LIKE CAKE. Because of its vibe, but also the soundtrack! And I love that my Shepard is inquisitive and sassy, and also kind of hot (er, yeah). I also spent all week wanting work to be over super-quick I could get home, and get on with the further adventures of Shepard and Co™
I got my FFXIII disc back yesterday, after nearly a month of being without it. I played some when I got home (and rekicked Barthandelus' arse, and got to the Fifth Ark). I played some ilomilo today (which I will write about another time because everyone who owns an Xbox needs this games ;) ).
And then I thought about Mass Effect, and suddenly I realised that I missed it like FUCK.
Luckily, I have until Thursday off work next week, so plenty of time to actually complete the game (assuming I don't do all the millions of sidequests, although that was, in part, what attracted me to it in the first place).
(It's also made me dig out all my Vangelis albums that used to be my dad's (except 1492, because for some reason I find it kind of depressing to listen to, even though I love it), and then I realised I was missing a whole bunch (mainly because dad didn't have them). But daaaaaaaaaamn, music influences!)
TL;DR version: I will be playing Mass Effect for the next five days and drawing inane fanart. Who's with me?
~*~
Um. There is nothing going on in my real life. I am drawing a lot, and I seem insanely creative (by my standards, anyway). Other than, I am working, eating, and sleeping (sometimes even in that order!)
Talking of which, I probably better go and get some sleep, since I have errands to run tomorrow, and some inanities to draw.

*SHUT UP. Bucky O'Hare is, like, the first sci-fi thing I really remember watching on TV. And it was awesome. And Jenny was my fave character, and also awesome. Hence calling my female Shep after her.
