YES, the blog is all Mass Effect all the time. This isn&#8217;t because I&#8217;m obsessed with Mass Effect, or because that&#8217;s all I want to talk about. It&#8217;s because the Mass Effect vids are already done. The Mass Effect videos aren&#8217;t preventing you from getting prose from me, they&#8217;re filling what would otherwise be a BLANK SPACE.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really busy lately. I&#8217;ve got personal-life stuff going on right now that&#8217;s eating some time, plus a book I&#8217;m trying to finish, plus a bit of coding, plus some other obligations. <\/p>\n<p>(The book is stalled. Not because I&#8217;m unhappy with the book, but because my brain switching to PROGRAMMING MODE! I seriously can&#8217;t write fiction right now, and so I&#8217;m noodling with code because that&#8217;s all my brain wants to do. I&#8217;m 85% of the way done with this book. It&#8217;s terrible. And no, the code&#8217;s not anything worth turning into blog posts.)<\/p>\n<p>I totally understand if you&#8217;re sick of hearing about Mass Effect and you&#8217;re hoping I&#8217;ll make some other content. I&#8217;m sick of the series and I&#8217;m eager to put the thing behind me and move on. Spoiler Warning costs me only a couple of hours a week to record, and the Mass Effect 1 videos were completed years ago. I&#8217;m just putting this stuff up for those who want it.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, I do try to make the visit worth your while. Even if you don&#8217;t watch the video, I try to make the blog post itself worth a read, and if I can I make it able to stand on its own. <\/p>\n<p>The run of Mass Effect 3 should finish up this week. Once that&#8217;s over we&#8217;ll announce the next series. <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for something to read, can I suggest <a href=\"http:\/\/krellen.net\/2012\/11\/09\/xcom-part-1\/\" title=\"Krellen's Korner - XCOM Part 1\">Krellen&#8217;s XCOM game<\/a>? It stars some people from this very site. <\/p>\n<p>In short: The Mass Effect will continue until morale improves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since people keeping asking about this, I suppose I&#8217;d better say something.
