User blog comment:Darkshark74/How Or When Did You First Get Into To Mass Effect?/@comment-3546663-20120214025910

Me & my best friend were just hanging out at his house one day(he had a 360 & I didn't), and this was back before we had XBL or had learned to enjoy the insanity that is the Internet. His mom came home with some game we had never heard of called Mass Effect. She said it looked Star Wars-ish and thought he might like it. We had played both KotOR and Jade Empire, so I recognised the name Bioware and knew the game would be epic.

I got a 360 in June of 2009 and picked up ME2 about a month after it came out. 8 playthroughs of ME1 & 5 of ME2 later, and I still have no regrets of losing the last half of my senior year to this series.
