So if you get an email giving you a code or you pre-purchased, then you are good to go! I hope you have a fabulous time during the weekend beta, that I can not attend! Sadface.

I will be a Maid of Honor in a wedding that weekend out of town. So at least it is for a happy occasion! Keep you all updated on whats going on as I hear about it. :)

Rakghoul Virus Outbreak on Tatooine! [SWTOR]

So last night after a long break from SWTOR [Star Wars The Old Republic] I was online goofing off. I was then informed there is a outbreak of the Rakghoul plauge on Tatooine! That seemed strange to me, but then I found out that if you actually get the plauge you can get DNA samples from yourself and then resulting in possibly getting something like a Rakghoul pet. Weird huh?

So if you wish to avoid this plauge, you should stay as far away from Tatooine as possible. Not only that if you see anyone with red eyes or black swirls around them, avoid them completely! I think this is neat and something fun and new. BioWare is doing a great job bringing the world to life in ways most MMOs would never dream of doing!

There are a few videos on youtube if you wish to check them out. I have not gotten them yet myself.

Skyrim Kinect Support

I remember thinking as I ran around in Skyrim, "This would be cool if it was on the Kinect as well." For those of you who do not know, I am a Kinect junkie. I remember stumbling across a fellow who had programmed his Kinect to work with Skyrim and thought it cool. I am not a programmer so did not bother to try it out as he had it available.

Then as I was stumbling around the internet last night, I found the most interesting blog post on Bethesda's site. Kinect Support Coming to Skyrim and I became very excited! I had beat the game, but quickly so have so many more places to go and enjoy! This makes me want to go ahead and play it a full gime through again, and enjoy EVERY quest I can get my hands on. Intead of rushing through, like I normally do. I becoming to excited about the main story and forget myself.

So for those of you who love Skyrim and enjoy your Kinect, or maybe just want to try out the Kinect. I recommend you play it with the new Kinect support, I know I will!

Thank you BioWare for Listening!

Have I ever said that I love BioWare? Well I do, probably a bit to much. Now was I very upset with the cookie-cutter ending given in ME3 [Mass Effect 3]? Hell yes I was! In fact I was overly upset that with any ending I got it was the same thing. I felt a bit betrayed and expected something like what DAO [Dragon Age Origins] did where you get to see, or read rather, the choices you made in the game effecting the future.

I was also upset with the weird crash landing with the Normandy where it appeared Joker was using FTL travel with people I did my final push on Earth with. Seemed weird, but at the end of the day BioWare has accepted they really screwed up and are going to fix it. I have not mentioned my favorite part yet... FOR FREE, until April 2014.

Now I want to stress that this DLC that will be coming this summer is not a NEW ending, which I am extremely glad about. I truly believe that they wrote an amazing story and should stick with it, it just needed a bit of an extension with the ending and a tweek to the Normandy cutscene. They should have seen this coming with what they gave us compared to what they promised.

So sometime this summer we will be getting some new DLC and I will be so happy about it. If you want more info on what to expect you can check out BioWare's Blog post HERE.

I hope you are all as excited about this as I am!

ME3 Space Hamster!

Now if you were like me and thought your space hamster adorable, or perhaps cool. Then wondered what happened to him once you got back on the Normandy in ME3. Well look no further! He is scurrying around on the engineer deck where Jack was in ME2. If you can catch him he will immediatly go back in your cabin and do the same things he did in ME2.

Now the fish, I hear Kelly Chambers has them. Though I guess you had to have dinner with her, for her to feel compelled enough to take your fish in the first place? I am not really sure on all that, but I guess Kelly is keeping them. So if you want your fish back, hopefully you saved her from the Collector Base and built up some form of relationship from her. Hope this helps you on your journey for your Space Hamster and your Fishies!
