I'm a little over 10 hours into Mass Effect 1 and wrapped up Vermire last night. Ashley capped Wrex while I was talking to him but how can you be mad at her, she's voice by Marla Sokoloff. Then I made the mistake of leaving her with the bomb to go save Kaiden. Dumbest. Move. Yet.

What was I thinking? Kaiden is an annoying twat most of the time and he's voiced by the guy that did Butch in Fallout 3 so it's impossible to like him. Poor Ashley died fighting and I'll miss her little white armor. Oh well, maybe she didn't die?

I've talked about my annoyances with the game already but here's one I haven't mentioned that I bet is pretty common - WTF is up with all the elevators? It's bad enough there are so many but how come they are so damn slow in the future? Seriously, where the hell are the turbo-lifts from Star Trek?

Since I've been enjoying the game I pulled the trigger on the preorder from Amazon. Why not, I'll get it on release day, get free Inferno armor and $10 back on another game. You really can't beat that. If you want in on the deal, click this link.
