Raptr Video Game Summary
Back on 4 Jan I posted my 2013 gaming post. Raptr created their own graphics based post here. It’s pretty neat.
June 2011 Video Game Play Time
Just one game this month, it’s been quite a busy month for me!

Mass Effect (8 hours) - This is a great game that I’d heard about for a long time, but never got around to playing. A recent Steam sale made it cheap enough for me to give it a try and I’m really enjoying it. I’m writing about my playthrough and you can read the first part here and the second part here.
The "Look at Me" Culture
I came to a disturbing realization the other day - I’ve come to feel that whatever isn’t online isn’t real. This came about thanks to the Wii’s insanely stupid online policy. Everything about playing online with the Wii is an exercise in frustrating the user. Rather than always be connected to the net when the console is on (like modern computers, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3), the Wii attempts to connect to the game servers at the time you wish to play the game. This leads to the very frustrated experience of wanting to play online, loading up into the game you want to play and then realizing that the system is having problems connecting to the Internet. So you have to back out to the Wii menu and trouble-shoot the problem. This wouldn’t be so vexing if it didn’t take the Wii ages to load games, including the “don’t throw your effing Wiimote around” warning every time! Even in games where it doesn’t make sense!
