Watching all the announcements today from MS and EA alone reminded me that I have a full plate ahead of me of gaming this fall/winter on the 360, a full plate indeed. This also reminded me that I need to finish Mass Effect before it is too late.

I have Gamer ADD, and therefore never finished Mass, only got about halfway though it, give or take. I'm headed back into it now, as of tonight, and I was quickly reminded of the golden rule of the game. There is no such thing as a little Mass Effect before bed. None.

The reason being, a "little bit" of it, becomes a 8 hour session well past 4am. It doesnt help if you try to play early in the evening instead, to prevent the late nighter.. then you simply get sucked into a 16 hour session instead. Mass Effect should only be allowed in my console on a friday though mid afternoon on a sunday, I have determined. *sigh* I put it in at 8:30 "for a bit" and now it is 1am and the only reason I am headed to bed is because it has been such a long day I can hardly keep my eyes focused on the screen to write this.

In either case though, I do love the game and cant wait to finish it, so as to be ready for any future DLC they release for it, as well as to have a slighty more clean slate for Too Human, Fable 2, and the massive slew of other games I cant wait for beginning in roughly September and carrying me though the end of the year.

You know what... I think a quick Mako drop onto this one random planet before I call it a night wont hurt me.. just a quick survey and look for any collectibles.. cant take that long... I'll be alright.. then to bed.. I promise...
