Being able to run around Illium like a tool is making up for not being able to run around (as much of) the Citadel. Which is one of the things I dislike intensely about ME2. Also I take what I said about Thane back - still not keen on looking at him at all, but dang, I could listen to him talk for some time.

Also, after having squinted at the screen for a good ten hours, I finally discovered the brightness setting. Now I can see where I'm going.

Also also: fuck that Praetorian on Horizon. Sonofabitch is eeeeeeeeeeevil!

Oh but: I love the way Mordin talks. Even when he doesn't want to talk to you, his responses are hilarious (I've heard the one about scale itch and then, today, I got, "Found reason Collectors want humans. But humans only have one heart, krogans two. Never mind. Scratch that idea, start again").

OH AND: Bioware are going to release DLC to make the ending of ME3 more acceptable to the fans? Oh for fuck's sake. You should've let 'em stew in their own juices.

On the other hand: I do like that Shepard gets huggy (female Shep does, anyway), even if it is only with Kaidan and Liara. I honestly thought she'd hug Garrus, but apparently not (but Garrus? Fuck you and your calibrations) And I've seen the poetry spouting krogan. He is SO adorable.

(I promise I can talk about things other than Mass Effect. Honest! Sometimes I even talk about stuff that isn't video games!)

Mor gluing and sticking = more Avatar. Also I have no idea of what I'm actually doing beyond making a complete mess and getting glue everywhere, but at least I am having some kind of fun, and watching an awesome cartoon while I am it.

(Anyone any ideas for what I should sub-tag this as? I mean, I could go with collage, but that to me means I am making a picture and...I'm not right now. Honestly, if you could see it. It is a mess).

Soooo, Avatar! Today's highlights include me saying the following: "Oh, Zuko, you big heap of emo!" (well, he is!) and also The Library (of which I want to know more about. Are there stories? There should be stories).

As I've noted before, rewatching is giving me a chance to pick up on a) how tightly plotted/written this show is and b) how soon hints are dropped on things that don't turn up for aaaaaaaaaaaages. Like, for example: Ba Sing Se - we go a series and a half before we get there, and Zhao mentioning the library - which turns up halfway through series two - I actually missed him mentioning it the first time, so when they get there, I'm all, "Oh, random library, cool!" But then people were ragging on how it's not so much hinted at as dropped like an anvil in The Last Failbender, and I was all, "Ohh, right. Yeah." (so pretending I knew when I didn't. See also: fish punching) And then lo and behold Zhao does mention it. He even says it's underground!

So yeah. I think my next ep is Tales of Ba Sing Se. Not entirely sure. Also not entirely sure when I will get to watching the rest of it again (looking at next weekend, although it might happen in the week if I can't think of anything else to do).

(This is my favourite bit from this story (he also doesn't always make sense, either, but it doesn't matter). I realised, belatedly, that he should've been on my influence map, even if his influence on me isn't immediately obvious).

I've not been feeling too queasy today! VICTORY! \o/
