Played

Doom I-II Bundle: New set of achievements. I'm begining by completing each game and bonus levels. I play until an achievement unlocks (and GP rewards pop) and then stop to play my main game, Mass Effect 3. 

Mass Effect 3: I ran across a shore leave mission which seemed to depart greatly from the main storyline (I had to fight myself instead of the Reapers). I looked it up later and realized I had played a DLC mission without knowing it. When the DLC is bundled in a remastered collection like this, you end up doing it all as if it was one single game. I finished that shore-leave mission and got back to the Reapers.

I noticed various changes from the ME2 formula: no hacking mini-games, ability to jump, ship redesign, an aquarium upgrade (now my fish won't die), and a different scanning mini-game within solar systems. I'm really enjoying it. The dialog is still great. I'm reading all of the codex entries to get to know the characters and universe better. There's so much. 

Happy weekend. I'll be working.
