Mass Effect! Finally!

Another day, another.. Thing, to talk about I guess.

If you've read my previous entries you'll know that I had a test in social studies today, it actually went rather well! Probably not. I think I might have saved myself from that "F". What are you? Stupid? You failed.


...

Yeah I probably didn't do super good, but I'm hoping to at least pass this, that way I have shot.

Since I didn't have any more studies I decided to sit down and play some Mass Effect 3, which I am hoping to finish this week.

When you're not in fast and unforgiving firefights, you actually get to see and hear a lot of small talk, gossip, rumors and some other stuff,. This is the thing that makes this game, and the ones before it, so special. At least to me, since I need a good story in order to enjoy a game. I remember overhearing James and Garrus (human and alien allies) talking about all the different "epic" stuff they had done for the galaxy and in different lines of work. I stayed in the background and watched the discussion unfold, then it stopped, at the time it seemed rather short, so I went about with business.

I came back to the same spot about 30 seconds later just to hear them starting a second part, this made me smile extremely wide (no, seriously, I looked like a fucking moron) and I stayed for this as well. Then when it stopped, I went into another room for about 2 seconds and returned just to hear the last part of the argument.

I know this may sound weird, or right down stupid to some people. But for me, gaming is like watching a movie that you get to interact with, which I sincerely enjoy. Games have made me cry, where movies haven't, they've made me feel more happy than any movie ever have. So for me, gaming isn't just a hobby, it's something I partially do to get away from reality a while, but also to experience the feelings of the character you play.

I'm probably gonna end this here so I don't bore you to death, I just felt like writing this.

Oh, and before I go, would you guys like to see a Mass Effect 3 review coming up here soon? It's all up to you to decide yes or no.

Thanks for reading, I'll see you guys next time!

CISPA, Anonymous... And a ton of studies.

Don't really know why I'm making this post as I should be studying, I suppose I want to just hand something out to my two very loyal followers, haha!

So yeah, as I said, I was studying, more exactly for a social studies exam, considering how it is my worst subject and I need to ace this in order to get an E, I'd say taking this blogger break is beginning to seem more and more retarded by the second. But then again, I felt like doing it. So fuck logic.

I'm trying to think of something good to write about... Hm, let's see...

Oh yes! The latest updates surrounding Anonymous were rather interesting considering some of the "targets", so to speak. 

If you don't know what Anonymous is, then I'm afraid you'll just have to look it up yourself, but in short; They're a hacktivist group that stands up for democracy. At least that's my perception of it.

So yeah, the target list... It's a rather hefty amount of names with lots of the big guys out there such as, Boeing, AT&T, Intel and a whole bunch of others.

The two that caught my attention the most were actually Facebook and Microsoft. Yes, you read that right.

This is all in response to the new censorship law CISPA in the US, which is basically a worse type of SOPA, which I'm sure you've all heard of by now.

I'll probably end it here and post a couple of links to some interesting videos.

What CISPA is (rather long, but give it the time): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX6aaKElURc

Thank you guys for reading, I'll see you soon!
