thegamingmuse:
Sequels can get really messy. A balance must be kept between making appropriate changes and keeping in line with the series. Two audiences must be considered: fans, who may be sensitive to the minutest changes; and new consumers, who will hopefully become fans with time.
Needless to say, this can get complicated. The worst sort of vitriol and nastiness can spew from spurned...

Hate to be the one to bring up this bad news but there you go.
Aw, man, NO.
But Vega might be a real romance option :D
Ugh. Now I’m pissed. We still have one source confirming certain options, but…yeah. I’ve been waiting three games for a certain LI. I’ll be disappointed if it turns out he’s not available. BioWare,...

O is for Obelisk
A/N: I didn’t forget about these! I’m just really, really slow. And I got so bogged down with homework I missed while sick, I didn’t really have the time for them for a while. But now I do and I’ll try to be a bit more productive when it comes to getting them out.

Mass Effect 3 Same-Sex Love Interests →
One of the posters on the BSN got his hands on a copy of ME3 early and was kind enough to verify all the LIs for us, including which ones will be available as s/s romance options. If you’re interested, I linked the thread. This particular poster also verified things from DA2 before it’s launch, so he seems to be reliable. He’s also the second source confirming these facts, so I...

*highest of fives granted* Adepts rule. B]
I can’t play as anything else. Literally. I unlocked the quarian engineer so I gave it a try…and promptly died over and over again. I’ll just be over here, throwing enemies into stasis and blowing ‘em up. XD

I’ve realized something today: I don’t suck at multiplayer. Not ME3’s multiplayer. Don’t get me wrong, I started out like this:
But once I leveled up and got more comfortable casting powers on the fly instead of pausing via the power wheel like I do in single player, I started having a lot of fun with it. I play adept (I am a Biotic God. Fear me.) and damn the damage you...

Formal Petition to BioWare →
foxybcosplay:
Hey lovelies. Sorry if this is already making the rounds, but I didn’t see it anywhere on my dash, so here goes.
As yet, BioWare Corp has not made an official announcement regarding the abuse and harassment of Jennifer Hepler. Regardless of whether you agree with Jen’s opinions on videogames, what they should be, and how she writes for them, what these “fans” have done is...

blondielovesbroody:
Since a whole ton of people seem to think her writing ability should determine how she’s treated as a human being. I think she’s great at what she does and I support her and her work. I think Bioware would be much worse off without her talent and I look forward to seeing what she has in store in future games. -blondie

antivian:
That is my tweet.
Now, for the *All men* response to my tweet. Because I said “Some male gamers”, which apparently translate to ALL male gamers. Yep.
Ugh. Disgusting. It’s one thing to disagree with someone’s opinion or to make an informed, reasoned argument against Hepler if you’re really opposed to her writing. It’s another to launch degrading slurs at...

Welp, made it through the weekend alive. ;) Thank you all so much for the well-wishes and support. I’m still not going to be around quite as much as normal for a few days longer at least. Apparently pneumonia isn’t one of those things you just get over in a couple of days, and I still feel largely like crap. But crap that can stare at a computer screen. And sadly has a Chem exam...

The Petition For BioWare/EA To Publicly Support...
hawkeward:
I hate to think that a company so much better with female characters than most of the competition would fail to support a real, live woman who works for them and is being harassed.

Hey guys, I know I’ve been AWOL these past few days. I’ve been sick. Today I went to the doctor and now I’m being treated for strep throat and bronchial pneumonia. I’ll probably be absent for a few more days at least while I recover. Sorry for the delay on Kaidan’s alphabet meme and everything else. Take care and have a good weekend everyone.

Zevran too. STEN TOO. Why.
You are looking at the same thing we are looking at, aren’t you.
There’s been an awful lot of whitewashed Izzy popping up on my dash today.

Mass Effect 3 Demo Thoughts
Going to throw this up under a cut so anyone who doesn’t want to be spoiled won’t be. Sometimes the cut takes a second to work for me, so if you don’t see it refresh and it should be there.
Alright, moving on.
Where are all the dialogue choices? Even with the menu set to full dialogue, Shepard’s doing way too much talking without my input. This better just be a feature...

N is for Noveria
N is for Noveria
The cold has a way of seeping inside the maintenance tunnels and emergency shafts. Even the labs where Benezia met her end leave their team fogging the air with their breath. Hoary glass encircles a tank at the center of the room, a pair of baleful eyes the only things Kaidan can make out through the fractals of frost. He steps closer, but an arm pulls him back. Shepard, dragging...

Anonymous asked: It's so awesome when you update your Kaidan alphabet meme. I just love the way you write him. Just wanted to let you know :)

M is for Music
A/N: Sorry for the delay in getting this one out. Once again, I’m blaming school. Silly me for majoring in English and not realizing just how many papers I’d have. ;)
M is for Music
It takes a total of fourteen seconds for Kaidan to decide he hates Chora’s Den. He wishes he could claim the moral high ground on this one, objecting to the way cretins like Harkin grope and leer at the...

After watching the show in gif form since joining tumblr, I’m finally firing up Supernatural on Netflix. Late to the party, I know. But I’m digging it so far. Demon hunters with daddy issues? Yes please. ;)
Theory one: Sam was switched with another kid as a baby. Because whatever was in his room staring down at him in his cradle had plenty of time to put a doppelgänger in his place.

Writers, what are some of your favorite songs for writing smut to?
Personally I really love “Come On Closer” by Jem.

You guys. Seriously. I’m on my phone now and nearly at the hospital so I can’t respond individually to your replies. Consider this a sort of stand-in hug.gif for all the warmth you’ve shown me. It really does mean a lot. <3

L is for Lazarus
A/N: Phew! Just finished this one before midnight. Goal met. :)
L is for Lazarus
The air hangs heavy with sweat and musk. With his head pillowed on Shepard’s chest and his own heart rabbiting in his ears, Kaidan finally takes stock of the damage. They’ve twisted the sheets into some kind of bird’s nest beneath them and seeded the place with their clothing. A pair of boxers dangles from the lamp...

K is for Kerosene
K is for Kerosene
There’s always an air of desolation hanging around these deep space colonies, like a swarm of flies summoned to a corpse. The prefab structures are all gray, lifeless. When the generators fail—the way they have on Feros—the colonists have no choice but to start burning oil so they can keep watch for geth even at night.
Kaidan surveys it all—the dull concrete, the duller faces of...
