Game of the year. I'm calling it now. It's brilliant, the campaign, multiplayer, how they tie into eachother unlike any game has done before. I have no gripes so far, except for the fact that the game has to end eventually and more people aren't posting about it. I didn't think it could be better than ME2 but I was wrong, everything from the vast weapon variety and new enemies is just awesome. I did play the Multiplayer quite a bit before trying the campaign, only minor issue is that you do see a majority of the enemies in the game taking away from the intensity of the campaign a little bit. I was playing a mission on an Asari colony, and kept hearing screams but knew what it was because of playing MP so much, so it did take away a bit of the mystery of introducing a new enemy. All in all, what a game and it's such an accomplishment for gaming.

Rarely, but i've been known to go when i'm on a budget. The person below me has seen a UFO.

Now everybody clap and dangle something shiny in approval for the blues fan It's awesome when your team finally does something after repeated seasons of failure.

Roast Duck, Peking Duck, Pan Seared Duck, Mandarin Duck, Grilled Wild Duck, Duck a l'orange, Port Braised Duck, White Simmered Duck.... Wings win 5-1, GO RED WINGS!!!

I think it's safe to predict this one low scoring considering the Kings history this season and the fact that they can barely score more than a goal or two a game. I'm calling 2-1 Wings. GO RED WINGS!!

Never in Colorado, but I did see the Avs play the Pens in Pittsburgh in the late 90's.

Gives? No, steals off my plate when I leave the room for a minute, yes. I do have a cat that eats cheetos so I give her one on occasion for entertainment purposes. The person below me has a green thumb.

I gotta admit, I kinda like the net prank videos. The person below me is off work today.

I absolutely would, I've seen the documentary where they were first filmed and i've been very interested in the species ever since. The person below me would hold/has held a tarantula.

Keep up the offensive brilliance Zett, Wings take it 3-2. Go Red Wings!

Chris Neil for me.. the guy nearly killed Babchuk a couple weeks ago with an open ice check.

Let's show Quick who the better Vezina candidate is, 4-1 Wings. GO RED WINGS!!

My cat snores, but he's stalking a moth at the moment. The person below me is addicted to something.

Sharks lose again in OT.

About time.. give the guy top 6 minutes and I think we will be fine until Pav gets back.

...Who cares? Radulov is as threatening as a pug puppy. I have no concern.

Yes.. I have trouble staying asleep, i'm a very light sleeper. The person below me has never been in a fight.

I have no problem with the Sharks missing the playoffs.

Alright, first impressions. I spent about eight hours online playing the cooperative missions with a couple friends and a random player that filled the final spot. It's ten waves of survival, initially attempting to get through when you first start playing online is difficult, it's all about ranking up your character, earning credits to gain better equipment, and fine tuning your character to your personal liking and becoming comfortable with your layout. The first two waves are just survival, kill all enemies until clear and proceed to the next wave. Once you hit wave 3, you face your first objective, either kill four specified targets within a time limit, Hack a computer and stay within it's radius until the hacking timer is complete, or activate four different data stations within a time limit. All this is going on with swarms of enemies attacking you so working together and protecting eachother is key. Complete the objective and earn credits to invest in equipment boxes that contain 5 random pieces of weaponry, upgrades, or new playable characters. There's three objectives for every 10 wave mission you complete, the further you get the more you earn. I strongly recommend working with three other guys to finish these missions, attempting by yourself or with one person is very difficult. It's fun, it's very addictive, and in the early stages of online play, all random players that joined our team throughout the night were competitive and participated accordingly. No team killing or idiocy so far, but there's plenty of time for that to change. What I enjoy the most is there are six different classes you can go through and upgrade. After working on my Soldier until level 15, I moved on to a Quarrian Infiltrator. Each class has it's own level system, so moving to a different one means you begin at level 1 and work your way back up. This leaves a lot of room for multiplayer depth and a lot to continue to go back to. I'm liking the multiplayer much more than I had anticipated and plan on investing a lot of my time into the online play. *Minor spoiler alert* In previous titles, the only available part of the game was the single player campaign, which continues to be brilliant. You are thrown into the chaos immediately, the Reapers in their massive glory are tearing apart earth, and you get a comprehension of the full destructive power of this ongoing threat. The opening sequence was intense and exciting, sprinting through explosions and dodging the Reaper's attacks and hearing the screams of the civilians that are under assault. After being rescued by your companions, landing on Mars for your first campaign mission and meeting up with some old friends, you return to the Normandy and witness the newest changes to your vessel. There's now 5 floors on the Normandy, which now includes a weapon upgrade workbench where you can add on two upgrades to each weapon. Now Scopes, Barrels, and even Bayonettes can be fitted on your favorite weapons, adding more destruction and depth in customization that was never seen in previous Mass Effect titles. It's a welcome addition to an already expansive experience. Your armory is now on the bottom level, opposed to it being on the command deck in ME2. I've roughly put around 15 hours into the game so far, and it feels like i've barely scratched the surface. I'll continue to update and check back as I progress.

Strange decision, I think Turco is well past his time and i'm surprised he hasn't retired. Not a risk i'd take if I were in that situation.

It's 6:30 am, haven't slept, still playing Mass Effect. I can't stop.

Flyers already have goalie problems, can't wait to see what we do against em to break their spirits further. 5-1 Red Wings. GO WINGS!!

You're the king Sankar I always open your threads just because.

Score more goals on the PP, Give up less goals on the PK.
