Games
I was a little bit surprised at the turnout on WoW Saturday night, even if it didn't really materialize until later than our "normal" raid time. Ran a few dungeons, actually delved into Firelands with 10 guildmates... The warm bodies were there, though we would need some further polish to get Beth'Tilac down. Or at least we'd need to get through it without one of the two active healers disconnecting (I wish we'd tried three-healing that last couple times).
I've poked at the Mists of Pandaria beta a little bit. I don't really see myself playing a panda main, and... my paladin kit feels seriously pared down. Not sure whether I like that.
I poked on GW Sunday long enough to do their April 1st quest. Cute little play on Terminator 2, I suppose, with a continuity-breaking (at least in my mind) run in with your "past self" that reminds me of the Bronze Dragonshrine quests in WotLK.
I also put in an unusual amount of time playing Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, participating in their "Operation Raptor" weekend event. What can I say? Cooperative play is inifinitely more fun to me than competitive. I've only played on bronze, but learned a lot about what works and what doesn't - at least for me. I seem to be useless with SMGs and shotguns, but my trusty Vindicator assault rifle works well even without having been leveled up. Reapers are definitely harder in my experience than geth or Cerberus enemies. I wish there were a better way to practice new playstyles, though, without queueing in and flailing uselessly with three other poor people who have to deal with such inexperience. And for heaven's sake: do get to objective points to help hold them, but don't rush immediately to the extraction zone at the end until the timer counts down a bit because it will be mobbed.
