    Seems a bit odd that Bioware hasn't taken that Facebook game out of closed beta before the game it's supposed to promote is released. Not that I'm interested in it beyond acquiring the bonus items.

    Someone please tell me I got the name wrong. I haven't played the game in a year and I'm pretty sure that fact is only mentioned in the codex or something so by all rights it's not something I should still know. Especially considering I've forgotten like 70% of the stuff I learned in college.
    I have bad news...

    For any Canadians out and about in need of a signature edition, Futureshop has a very small amount to sell retail for pc and console alike.
    I'm not even sure how this is possible, but it is.
    I've already canceled my pre-order through amazon and put one on hold there for myself.

    Have yet to see this mentioned, and if it was, my bad.

    god the wait sucks. I have 3 hours to do something, and the beer in the fridge is basically a time machine, but at what cost? Do I wake up tomorrow afternoon and fire up the xbox to BALSAK HAWKE the balding, wisp mustached mage running around in his underwear in a Merril only party? Must relish the game sober...willpower.....beer....time acceleration...gah/

    Gah.

    Well, the wiki does say this:
    Originally, one of the human origins was going to be an Avvar barbarian.

    So I'm going to maintain that I heard that part somewhere and my brain decided to retain that knowledge as random trivia related to the development of the game, and not that I am able to to recall obscure codex data while managing to forget every bit of calculus I ever learned.

    I dunno, man, you even got the spelling right. I mean, I could let it slide if you called them the "Avar" or something, but you nailed that double v.

    So if you have a bioware account and upload character data, can you change from the Xbrick to a PS3 without losing anything?

    At this point, just wait a couple weeks. Dead space 2 was $40 a couple weeks after release, Bulletstorm is $40 for today, DA2 will probably pop up on sale for $40 before the end of the month

    Yeah but what if we don't buy it and then we die during those two weeks what then we'd be dead and we'd never have played it and it would be all your fault.

    All your fault.

    Just visited the thread on Neogaf, where it seems everyone is hating on this game big time and accusing every positive review of "moneyhat".

    It's almost as if everyone there wants this game to be awful, just so Bioware can be chastised into repenting for the sin of not making this game with the infinity engine.

    To be fair, it's more the fans who constantly go on about "redefining the genre" and how every single change is positive that made me dislike ME2, rather than the game itself. Which was good. But hardly the 2nd coming, like some people make it out to be.

    Which this game is in danger of having occur too, especially with how much vitriol there is toward DAO.

    Personally I liked ME more than ME2, it doesn't mean I didn't like ME2, but I liked the characters more, I liked the fact you had a real town to roam around in like the Citadel which you never get in ME2, I liked the Mako more than the mine scanner. etc, etc.

    Okay, I never actually played ME2, but you'd think I would have heard of a feature that set you on fire every time you tried to use it.

    Stop worrying so much. If you chose release-date delivery it'll definitely have shipped today. My order status only just now updated but it was shipped out hours ago.

    Don't you tell me not to worry! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

    ...I'm not actually worried. I'll get the game when it gets here. I have a Student Prime membership, so shipping is free, and I ordered it before the price increase, so I'm sitting pretty good here.
