Since I can't get no sleep.

Phew. Been an intence week, or rather, it's been intence since last thursday. Damn you, Bioware, for making a modern version of Baldur's Gate, The bane of sleep, destroyer of social life.

Dragon age: Origins is everything it promised to be, Great mature story, an immersive world, low system requirements(yay for max graphics on laptop) and THE bloody game of the year.

I've played for 36 hours or so and so far I've completed less than 35% of all the content in the game. It's singleplayer, and that keeps the quality high - no lord noobhaxxorz running around.The voice acting is very good in most areas, there is no denying it.

The graphical art design is leaned towards the realistic side of things, no over the top shiney "look a power ranger!" armor which is very refreshing.
I've heard a lot of complaints regarding that and I say, they're talking out of their own arse.
If you look at the "better" gear you see the difference in craftmanship, It looks like it's better crafted. It's subtle, and that explains why most gamers can't appreciate it. Sissy final fantasy lovers... A wee bit of refined taste wouldn't hurt you.
It's a grim George R.R Martin kinda world, and that my good friends, is the reason we all should love it.

No one is to be trusted at face value. Everyone has an agenda. There is no such thing as innocence, only varying degrees of guilt.
Not that much has happened on the reading side, well, I've read about half Legion by Dan Abnett and it's everything you can expect from him, a good read all in all.

To withdraw in disgust is not apathy.
