User blog comment:Slowrider7/What brought you to Mass Effect?/@comment-2174252-20110701162820

I am a hard core flight simulator player, especially combat flight simulators, so I have that shooter streak. I’ve played RPG’s and strategy games on and off, Max Payne, CIV III and Ghost Recon being the lasts. So when MS FS X came out, I said “I’ve better build myself a cutting edge gaming PC to be able to handle this game” … so I did. A couple of years went by and I didn’t play much at all, with work and family and all. So one day on January last year I was minding my own business in my office at work and I hear this music and shooting sound coming from the office next door. I came over and I’m like “WTF dude are you watching a movie?” and he went “No I’m playing this awesome game and it’s got me hooked” “Well what is it?” “It’s called Mass Effect 2, check it out” …so I sat next to him and I watched him play… my jaw dropped!!!... The next couple of days I watched him play and I was like “I’ve got to get me this game” Just for disclosure, the boss and many of the other people were on vacation and we had the whole floor for ourselves. I went: “Hey dude, I see this is Mass Effect 2, is there a Mass Effect 1?” and he went “Yeah… you can download it for 19 bucks” … So I did. I got hooked from the very first screen. Now here I am after replaying ME 1 and 2 several times and waiting to play ME 3
