I Love Mass Effect

[Professor S]

I'm currently on Ilos (sp?) and my wife was behind me on the computer. Little did I know she stopped what she was doing and started watching me play for about 2 hrs. All I heard was "thats impressive", referring to the environments and design. Keep in mind she plays zero games and hasn't played since Atari.

She said she doesn't mind me playing the game because "its like a movie" and she can watch it and listen to it in the background, and now she's even into the storyline. I have to promise to play the main story portions when she is home so she can follow along and know what happens.

It's quite odd playing a game and having an audience. I keep hearing "Oh no!" and "Shoot him!" and "Do the power thingy and get him!" She also has to comment on every dialogue chain I engage in. "You should have said the top one."

Bitch! You play the damn game!
