Welcome back! Did you miss me?

Oh? Oh... I see...

Well, nevermind the fact that I actually neglected this blog, barely remembering it existed, as I have returned!
I'll actually be posting specifically game-related posts at a new site soon, and I'll remember to update you all when that happens. For now, though, you shall be subjected to my ramblings right here, right now!

I've seen a lot of movies and played a lot of games since my last post, which was forever ago, and it's also pretty damn late here where I am on the East Coast. So until I get back up and running fully, I'm going to post a quick rant.

So, Mass Effect. There's been a ton of controversy surrounding this game lately, eh? A few so-called journalists and bloggers in what I shall call the "Adult community," or alternatively, "Those people who are painfully out of the loop," have latched onto supposed news that Mass Effect contains raw, graphic, explicit nudey-sex-with-girls. Of course, those of us in-the-know, aka those of us who have actually played the game, know that this is grossly exaggerated. Some have tried apologizing for their mis-statements, or rather, trying to pass off a statement of "I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't exactly right" as an apology. It's even been on televised news segments, with so-called experts. It's turned into a great big hullabaloo, which is a fun word to say. Hullabaloo.

My question is this: Didn't Mass Effect come out back in November? What have all these people been doing between the week and the end of November? Because, as we know, they certainly weren't playing Mass Effect.

This just further goes to prove that Real Journalism is all about buzz-words and sensationalism.

And now I go back to worrying about how to animate a flag waving in the wind. You know, important stuff.
