Wow, tonight's episode was one of the best in a long time I think. I mean yeah only 2 things really happened, but they pulled it off a lot better than when they try to pack a ton of shit in and it comes across halfassed.

It's got a 5000-word diary of Carmack's experience working on it in there too. You can just read that here though.

Folks, I just want to ask you a question: what's up with Mass Effect? I've played it, I liked it very much, but where all this hype comes from?
People seem to call it an RPG (even the best RPG) while it seems to me its more like Gears of War with some leveling and buying armor/weapons. The story is completely linear, the levels are completely linear and there is no meaningful choice whatsoever. Also, the game is rather short (and I think it's for the better! You're done when all is still fresh and cool and you're not bothered with lack of depth).
So, for me it feels more like a "movie"; it's definitely not an RPG.
That said, I need to stress again that I liked the game very much.

Yes. Prelimarility, the impact of the house's ghostly reputation goes to the very essence of the bargain. As Ackley (D) was responsibly for circulating the folklore that the house was haunted, it is not for the court to determine whether there are, in fact, poltergeists in the house. Rather, Ackley (D) is estopped to deny the existence of ghosts, and the house is, as a matter of law, haunted.
This is a 1991 case.

IESB's has heard word around town is Fantastic Four over at 20th Century Fox is gearing up for a reboot.
I predict that by 2012 all of the summer blockbuster movies will just start repeating every year. They already did the Hulk, and then The Incredible Hulk and now we're going to have 2 Fantastic four movies. This is not necessary.
I demand new shit. Guess I'm going to have to write it myself ><

I'm using headphones and music is extremely punchy and clear. I'm really digging it so far! Will be running it through some paces in games as soon as I can reinstall them.
Best part: No Creative bloatfest. There's some X-Fi drivers in there but no 3rd party apps other than Auzentech's console and DTS driver.
