Conquer Online as in some Korean grindfest.
It's about as mediocre as WoW, and you need a high level and super rare drops to get anywhere, but it's keeping me amused.

Hey Mac do you come across a lot of disc errors when you play Mass Effect? I can't ever play without it happening to me once or twice, usually in tight or hard spots that I didn't save before.

No, just a lot of grinding noises and ugly as sin textures every now and then.

Does anyone know whatever happened to that tank MMO Blitz 1941? I played it aeon's ago but as of now it is nowhere to be found.

Because of the worst timing ever, Mass Effect could get taken away from me soon. My dad and I just came back from lunch and we sat down to watch the news. No more than a minute after we turn the TV on the news starts explaining the sex scenes in Mass Effect. In comes a bunch of criticism and all that crap, and the only one guy over the phone was trying to defend it saying "You guys have never played it you don't know what it's like! You can be a girl too not just a sex-craving guy!". It was pretty pathetic, but I think he made it worse when he hinted that lesbian-ish sex was possible. Meanwhile, my dad is staring at me and I'm trying not to smile. I hope he believes me.

They might have shut it down. You could try asking Ophi, he would probably know.

Indeed, plus you dicks take things waaaaaay too serious, some samples from throughout the years:

Wolfenstein: "OMFG! This game will teach our children about nazism and turn them into nazi's!"

Carmageddon: "OMFG! This game will teach children to drive cars and run over people!"

DOOM: "OMFG! This game will teach children how to operate weapons and do school shootings!"

GTA San Andreas: "OMFG! This game will teach you to become a ghetto ****** and how to run from the police!"

Mass Effect: "OMFG! This children will teach us that there is NO god and how to become porn stars!"

Funny, but oh so ******** true. Need I say more?

Well would you want your kid to be playing bloody first person shooter games where the buttons simulate a trigger? I would when their like 14, before that their stuck with sesame street and teletubbies.

We weep for your children. If you plan on overreacting like that you might as well bar them from all games and entertainment.

When I was young - a looooooooooong time ago - I used to play Duke Nukem 3D waaaaaaaay before I was legal of age to play it. And it didn't affect me in any way. Not the violence! Not the swearing! Not even the strippers!

Duke Nukem 3D at age 8, maybe 9
GTA3 at age 11, and every GTA since soon after launch.

I'm fine.

Im only 20, and I played wolfenstein when it was recent, I dont know how old that means i was at the time, but I know I was in daycare on the owner's computer. Cant say ive shot up a school or gone around random buildings looking for nazi's and/or food on the ground.

Im all for the rating system, and letting parents enforce what their kids can and cant do based on those ratings. Regardless of markings, warnings and so on, it seems if its a game or animated, it must be for children only. Im sure mass effect has some mature label or some s**t on it....and im ranting now. Im going to go to work.  

[[Sanity_is_for_the_Weak]]

Ah, well parental discretion is optional, in most of the world that is.
I am becoming disappointed at the lack of branching gameplay that I thought was included in the Mass Effect experience. I've been playing a renegade son-of-a-b***h and so far nothing is different.
