Three things that Mass Effect 2 taught me about life

[computersherpa]

Life at college is good! I'm gradually making friends and avoiding the mistakes that I made the first time around. I'm starting a D&D group on campus this Saturday--extremely excited about that; will keep you apprised.

I'm on my third playthrough of Mass Effect 2, which is probably a record for any videogame. It's surprising how much depth

I'm doing my Renegade playthrough of ME2 right now. Lesson: being anti-hero (not gonna say evil because I don't think Renegade is evil, it's just... cut-throat) makes me feel like a jerk a lot of the time.

But it's also often hilarious. >.>

-anyway, nattering aside, this is a good post and you should feel good.

edit: oh, uh, and I'm also glad college is going well, and awesome at finding a gaming group! I'd love to find one but being well out of college - and shy - makes it a challenge.

Thank you. You are very kind. ^_^

I'm also doing a Renegade playthrough; I'm trying to make him kind of a Han Solo-type antihero, which means I end up splitting him between Paragon and Renegade so he's not very effective with either. >.> Oh well. It's no surprise that somebody made a YouTube video of all the best Renegade reactions and titled it "Commander Shepard Is Such A Jerk."

Finding a good gaming group is hard. One can often be found by using online tools like meetup.com and by visiting gaming stores, but you're pretty much taking luck of the draw for the kind of people you'll meet. Introverted geeks like us have a hard enough time finding good friends in general, much less friends with specific interests, which is why I think introducing friends to the games we like is a good idea. :-) This is also why online gaming and play-by-post games have found such popularity, as they lift the geographic boundaries out of the way. I hope you're able to find a group you like at some point
