I <3 K-Mart; aka. Mass Effect is MINE!
Joe Burling | 1:40 PM on 11.10.2007 50 comments


I signed into Xbox Live this morning to find two of my friends (PonyBones and ETron) playing Mass Effect. Etron, a staff member over at x360a.com, told me that K-Mart broke street date. PonyBones told me the same. I was out the door on my way to K-Mart faster than Puppet could say "fag".

When I arrived at K-Mart, I couldn't find it at first. I had to look at the stickers to locate it. Sure enough, they it was.

Get over to K-Mart ASAP. There may still be time for you, too. Good luck, my friends!

I <3 K-Mart.











Edit: I slacked this morning and didn't realize Jim Sterling posted about this, so I thought I'd show him love and try to hook him up with some hits.

Congrats man, I thought for sure that, after all the people who blogged about getting the game early, that the retailers would have caught on by now. Lucky man.

Wow? Still they're not picking up on it? Congrats man. There isn't a K-Mart anywhere near me. I are sad.

No coin. Getting a game isn't front page material unless you get a coin with the game.

Hmmm.... At the very least, this lessen the chance that you will snipe me repeatedly on COD4 multi-player anytime soon. Well, only slightly.

@Etron, I didn't use your last name, bitch. Relax. I didn't know if you wanted me using your gamertag.

@Blindside, this is far from a generic shooter. Far far far.

@Tron Knotts, yes it is good. It's complicated, actually. I'm still trying to figure out all the menus and what all this shit means. There seems to be a pretty steep learning curve. They don't explain much but I'm not saying all of this is a bad thing.

Etron, I updated my post. Your real name was taken out. I did link to your site, though.

BTW, x360a.com is my #1 source for getting info on 360 achievements. The forums there are great if you ever need help.

@BlindsideDork, the gameplay relies heavily on shooting, but it's much more complicated than that. You'll see.

The story telling is magical, and once you get your head around the combat the game is sublime.

Buck, are you having major Halo2 cutscene style texture pop-ins?

Pwny, yes I think so. I noticed something was going on but it doesn't seem to be taking anything away from the game.

I'm having the same debates updating my team characters as I did when I first encountered a little sister in BioShock.

I'm enjoying this game more and more and...

You're my idol. Your expression in the first picture is priceless, and the way you're wearing the sticker like a headband of victory in the third picture is hilarious.

You, sir, win.

Is the lesbo sex all that and a bag of chips?
Joe Burling's Avatar - Comment posted on 11/11/2007 18:57
Joe Burling
No lesbo sex scene yet.

@GrayFox, at times it's very much a shooter, but much more complicated. It almost reminds me of GRAW the way that it adds depth to the shooter-style gameplay but in a different way... a better way. However, at times it is heavily an RPG. It's Jade Empire in space with guns.

Also, normally when I'm watching conversation in a game, I'm constantly reminded that I'm watching a video game. It's hard to ignore the way a video game looks (unrealistic) even this generation. However, in Mass Effect, I find myself often forgetting that I'm playing a game. It feels more like I'm watching a movie at time (but obviously it's interactive).

The more I play it, the more I understand the way it should be played and the better it gets. It just keeps getting better. I highly recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of RPG's.

LOL for editing your post, im just messing with you Jibba... i am having a bear of a time getting into Ashley Williams E-pants... All she wants to do is yap yap yap about her sister, her dad, her grandpa...what about teh Tron and teh E-Tron? Mark my words, we will be doing the humpty hump in the sleeping pods by the end of the week....


I think the game is flat out amazing... a friend asked me if it was better than Halo 3 or Bioshock... it simply doesnt even compare...not in the same league. I dont like RPG's and i cant stop playing this game... i might get two copies and an extra xbox just to make sure ill always be able to play it.
