Mass Effect 3 – First Impressions

Posted on March 19, 2012 by Lisa

I started playing the original Mass Effect (ME), but stopped playing for reasons I can’t remember.  Somehow, Mass Effect 2 (ME2) passed me by – or I passed it by.  I’m not even sure how I came to pre-order Mass … Continue reading →

Amy – Trial

Posted on February 5, 2012 by Lisa

Yes, I am still alive.  Unfortunately it seems like everything has caught up with me and left me slightly burned out (if you can be “slightly” burned out).  When I have time, not a lot is holding my attention – … Continue reading →
