You still retain a bit of it, though.. at least I did.

Yeah

After school ended I had no super great reason to work out, so I really haven't done a whole lot since then... I really need to get started again.

It happens if you don't train after working out five days a week, yes. It's more of a loss of tone/muscle density than actual mass though.

I downloaded Mass Effect off of Direct2Drive for my Boot Camp'd Windows XP (on my 3.06 GHz iMAC), and it runs like a dream, with only rare, minor framerate issues! It's amazing how well Boot Camp runs windows.

I've been playing it like a maniac, enjoying the sheer epicness of the game. You really do get engrossed in the Mass Effect universe. I started playing at 6:00, and a while later realized that it was 12:45.

Mass Effect is awesome.

I'm surprised and jealous that you've been able to get so much play out of that game.

There's only a few things I don't like about the game... I did stop playing it, but only after doing almost 3 complete playthroughs (Every single planet visited, and doing everything on them)

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 12:27 am

Wonder when 2 will be out. Especially since they've done so much...They could re-use a fair amount of assets.

They did say all 3 will be on the 360 in its lifecycle so thats good.

As long as they fix the inventory management, most of the texture pop-in and lag, then I'm already happy

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 12:40 am

Yeah the framerate was probably the biggest thing for me... I got a 360 so I wouldn't have to deal with that so much and bam I was slammed in the face with some horrible framerate drops at times.. The texture pop-in was acceptable. As for the inventory stuff I never had a huge problem with them, only the modifications to items.

Mass Effect needs multiplayer and a better weapon system

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 12:56 am

Inventory was horrible. I shouldn't have to spend probably an hour or 2 (in total) going through and deleting items because it had a small limit.
I'd hate them if they did it again.

Thats one thing I wanna bring up too (in response to Spartan). The thing is, all single player RPG games I've played would be really really good for multiplayer. Unfortunately, balancing would take so much effort to get it running smoothly. But I always imagine multiplayer when I play those types of games.

I don't mean mumorpergehs, I mean versus/deathmatch style stuff

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 1:06 am

I need gears of war. I fell in love with the cover system in that game (ME, even though it was lacking at times), and have never really played GoW on my own xbox on my own time (only played it at LANs, and failed since i hadn't played before).

But yeah I see what you mean about the inventory now, yeah, that was pretty lame.

I love eBay's competitive Buy it Now pricing...If I can get the latest 360 games brand new on eBay for $55 delivered to my door then I'm all over it.

Before you say "WE PAY $40-60 lolololol" I don't care...I'm used to paying $100.

Last day of school, woot! Now I'm out and I'm going to a party (in which they're playing dare, no truth, just dare. Should own), then my neighborhood's pool party, then tomorrow I'll hang out for one more day, then on Sunday I'm shipped off to a five day swim camp and I'll be swimming all day and working my butt off, so I'd better come out of it a better swimmer. They do have olympic coaches training you though, so that's great.

Today was kind of boring because we had "free time" in which we could talk and not do work in all our classes almost, but the rules still applied so we couldn't use our cell phones. Then some girls hid mine in the tampon dispenser in the girls' bathroom and later put it in the pocket of a handicapped kid's backpack. Then I got hugs from all of them. So overall it was kind of good, but I can't wait till high school.
