Blitz
1.
Military.
a.
an overwhelming all-out attack, especially a swift ground attack using armored units and air support.
b.
an intensive aerial bombing.
2.
any swift, vigorous attack, barrage, or defeat: (example) a blitz of commercials every few minutes.

It has been almost a year since they last showed up... Those illusive web-crafting creatures who just love tormenting me while hiding in their corners and behind my desk.

But, as of 2 days ago, they have finally resumed their attack. First, a large one appears next to my right shoulder, on the wall, slowly climbing up whily stealthily trying to get past me; it was fortunate that I just happened to reach for my drink and managed spot him, and may he now rest in peace.

The very next day, they tried a more obvious approach, or so I thought. He (She?) tried to climb up via the top of my computer monitor. As I spotted him (her?) and tried to eliminate h-it, it decided to move to the other side of my monitor, away from my reach.
I pulled my desk forward, causing my PC to turn itself off as it lost power, even though not a single cable got disconnected; I now believe this was their plan all along.

And now, today, at around 5AM in the morning as I decided to go back to a short nap as I woke up rather often... I decided to rest my head on my pillow, and yet another one appears right above me on the ceiling! Infuriated, I ran downstairs to get the necessary equipment and returned in LESS than a minute, and. it. was. gone.
This defied all logic, as I studied its movements for about 2 minutes before I left, and it moved incredibly slowly, it was literally im-pos-sib-le for it to have moved to cover so fast.
Well, it was on the ceiling, right above my face, 1+1 equals 2... It must have fallen down on my bed. After swearing and at the same time clearing off my entire bed and grabbing the very last pillow it fell off and, well, all I'll say is it didn't feel it coming. Twice.

Moral: THEY PLAN! THEY LEARN! THEY INVADE! WE ARE ALL IN DANGER!
I AM A CLEAN AND TIDY PERSON BUT STOPPING THEIR INVASION IS IMPOSSIBLE, I AM BUT A STEPPING STONE BEFORE THEY REACH YOU!

In all seriousness: This sucks.

870$ for everything Mass Effect 3!

The huge amount of text below is the same as the article in the link. So take your pick.

"I was doing some thinking this morning. If you add up all of the toys, artbooks, deluxe/pre-order editions, and everything else that nets you Mass Effect 3 in-game content, how much would the full price of entry be? Well, if you buy everything there is to buy (including pre-paying for unlocks), you will spend around the neighborhood of $870. Keep in mind that a lot of this is based on Razor accessories, which power up your "Collector Assault Rifle" to maximum power in multiplayer.

Regardless, if you look at the list I've provided below, the game still might be the running for "most expensive DLC ever" -- except of course for Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012, which has $1679 worth of DLC. If anything else, I have to commend EA/Bioware's ability to tie-in so many different business deals with so many different companies. Ladies and gentlemen -- VIDEO GAMES.

Collector's Edition (needed to obtain all content):

$80 - N7 Collector's Edition

Pre-order bonuses:

AT-12 Raider - Origin pre-order bonus
Chakram Launcher - Play the Kingdoms of Alamur demo
M-55 Argus - Pre-order bonus for select retailers

N7 Warfare Gear - Pre-order bonus for select retailers

Possibly the most epic game I have ever played.

Granzon (Shu)

Soulgain (Axel)


Oh, it's a turn-based strategy by the way, these are just the (super awesome) attack animations.

Forgive me for the minor blog spam, but I think most of you might forgive me after seeing something so epic:

Eeyup. It's real.
