I've made what feels like a tough choice. But in the end, inevitable, I suppose, given all that's happened.
I was sitting there looking at my gaming hotlinks and about to call up City of Heroes when my eyes flicked up and saw the Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 icons in my quicklaunch.
It struck me that I hadn't played either of those games since the first week in March. Before I found out about the ME3 ending. And I realized with what hit me with an utterly surprising and painful sense of finality that I wasn't GOING to be playing them again.
Ever.
So I uninstalled both games. I need the hard drive space for other things. And that's about 30-45 gigs that can be better used by other things and not acting like a virtual paperweight.
Thinking about it... just makes me feel... empty. It's really weird.
I guess I'm truly done with the series now.
When stopping to think about it, I realized that I've even been turning away from artwork related to it and dropped reading any fanfic based it. There were two or three fanfic series I was really hooked on there for awhile. Now... meh.
Why the hell am I even posting this, anyway? I can't quite say. It's not to influence anyone's opinion of the game or the companies that made it. That's a moot point. I don't want to impress anyone with some high moral stance. That's just crap.
I guess... I'm in mourning? But for what? What the fuck kind of strangeness is that I ask you??

(Wrote most of the above the other day. Wasn't sure I wanted to post it. Eh... fuck it. May as well get it off my chest. Part of the process I guess.)
