And a star to steer her by

Kudos to the storytellers at BioWare. Despite having seen the intro twice before, when I started up Mass Effect 2 with John, it pained me to watch my ship go down. But now, I have a new one and there are hardly any strings attached.

ME2 goodies

Apparently I bought the spiffy deluxe Mass Effect pack, and it came with a soundtrack. Which was cool, because I'd just been in Afterlife and thought "That's kind of groovy. I wonder if they made this available to own."

Alas. Afterlife apparently has its own soundtrack, because neither of the tracks are part of the download.

EDIT: Also? I was attacking the bloodguard so I could cure the plague--I took cover and then couldn't do anything. The headsup said I was 'blocked'. WTF does that mean, and does it happen to anybody else? I let Jake and Elwood kill everybody, figuring that once combat was over it'd clear up, but it didn't.
