trinityvixenThe idea was, last night, to get to bed early, get loads of sleep, and wake up refreshed so that I could then spend the next night (tonight) not sleeping at all but playing Mass Effect 2 until either my eyeballs or my wrist gave out.
(Aside: OH MY GOD, IS THERE NO WAY TO EXPRESS THE PAIN OF CARPAL TUNNEL FROM PLAYING VIDEO GAMES TOO LONG WITHOUT IT SOUNDING DIRTY?)
Of course, my Statisitcs homework turned out to be hours long. He chopped three problems off because we hadn't gotten to the material he intended to cover in time, and I was still up until 3 am. Note to self: start homework earlier.
The best part of the not sleeping much is the part where I dreamed that I had been bitten by a bug like a cockroach. This was icky but manageable until the point I realized that the bug had been infected with a parasite that subsequently infected me. Dream-me was in hysterics about how there were now open sores on my body. These sores were holes into my tissue and every so often I could squeeze them to make the stuff coming out of them come out faster so they wouldn't swell and burst on their own (kind of like a pimple).
What was coming out of them? LADYBUGS. These gaping holes in my skin ejected LADYBUGS from my body. There are not words for the revulsion I felt as I watched the hole in my arm bunch together around a bulge when I pinched it and BUGS CAME OUT. LADYBUGS. THEY ARE NOT CUTE WHEN THEY ARE UNDER YOUR SKIN. I WILL NEVER RESCUE ANOTHER LADY BUG AGAIN.

Date: 2010-01-26 05:58 pm (UTC)Without spoiling anything (because I don't know it to spoil!) if you were level 40, you start at level 2 instead of 1, if you were level 41-59 you start at level 3, and if you were 60 you start at 4. Something like that. You start with more money if you had unlocked the Rich achievement, which I am pretty sure everyone did. You have the option to change your class if you want. My guess is that it tracks what you decided in some of the major quests for your 'followup' quest in this one. Like if you let that insect race queen survive or not.
The 3 'pure' classes seem similar, with a few new toys, of course. The Infiltrator gets an actual stealth ability, the Sentinel gets (I think) super defensive armor, and the Vanguard gets some ability that look like the Assassin's Rush spell from Fable 2. So the hybrids suck less since they at least have a unique ability each.
