Finishing up my second play through of Mass Effect 2. For those that don't know... the main character actually can get a little "nookie". Depending on your interactions with the female characters throughout the game, you might get lucky and there is actually a love scene. Not X-rated, but definitely pg-13.
I didn't score the first time, but I did this time around. My... games have come a long way from Combat on the Atari 2600.
You can look up the scenes on You Tube if curious.

- After I upgrade my HDD last night I wanted to log into PSN so I could fill it up but I couldn't. So if any my saves or trophy info is corrupted, I'm gonna be mad.

Oh Boy! We've got problems on the PS3 gaming front. I don't know if you guys have the Phatboy like I do (40 gig) but as of yesterday PSN has been down and Sony doesn't seem to have any idea as to why. Also it has been stated that this problem seems to be on most of the early launch systems as opposed to the newer slims.
I just had mine fixed because of the firmware update that zapped the Blue Ray drive motors. The good news is that Sony extended my warranty for 3 more months.
I'm starting to like that Xbox Elite more and more..

- Hopefully once I get past this issue we could get a game going. Justin, I did the same. I upgraded to a 250 Seagate. 40 gig was filling up fast.

I haven't got MW2 but i'm ALWAYS down for some Uncharted 2. I started heavy rain last week but haven't had a chance to play it since. So far, its fantastic.
I also just upgraded my measly 40GB Harddrive in my PS3 to a 500GB one. I win?
