I Still Walk These Streets...with A Controller Strapped to my Hip...

Hello 2O2P!

If you are reading this and we are familiar, then I hope you and yours are well and the gaming gods have been kind to you.

If you are reading this and we are not familiar - Hello! I still hope you and yours are well and the gaming gods have been kind to you.

I do not expect anyone to really remember me or care who the hell I am or whether I'm about or not, given my wanderlust ways. I don't really expect you to care though it'd be nice - I won't lie. But I'm back for now because I truly adore this site, the people (mostly :P) and the fact that there is real community here, which is fun to see if not dip my toe into every now and then. So I wander in and away, but as my posts testify sooner or later I wander back for a while at least (BTW whomever kept my blog open through the purges -- thank you and I seriously owe you at least 2 beers).

If I weren't already Maxxie, I might call myself "Bad Penny." But....I'm Maxxie and it really is the name that suits me best. And I'm as enthusiastic about gaming and as silly as ever - case in point:

To satisfy that human urge I share with so many to cry out in validation of one's existence, please consider this me beating my chest and crying out the following:

• I'm not dead!
• I am alive and reasonably well!
• I game whenever I can!

So what game has brought me out of my self-imposed exile, now?

Mass Effect 3 of course!

I will censor my desire to go on and on about my excitement for this title and just say by and large (nothing is perfect) I've loved this series. While I'm curious to some aspects of the gameplay that the demo can't show, I feel confident I'm in for a good time and my hard earned money's worth at the least. So what more can I ask?

Except now I should really go watch some "Walking Dead" and check out that long preview of ME3 trailer...

Thanks for looking!

Maxxie
