My take on the Mass Effect 3 ending. (SOME SPOILERS)

As some will know, the Mass Effect 3 ending is very controversial and some gamers even want a different ending. In my opinion, I think the real ending that Bioware was hoping to give flew over many gamer's heads. In the ending, there is a choice of three things you can do to the Reapers (bad guys), and this choice is like choosing to get shot in the head, stomach, or balls. There isn't a happy ending to this story, except if you believe in this "Indoctrination Theory" going around the internet. Supposedly, Shepherd was indoctrinated by the Reapers the whole time throughout the game. There are even certain events where it does seem strange. In the perfect ending (which I had), I chose to destroy the Reapers and somehow I woke up after Harbinger struck me down. In all of the other endings, Shepherd dies. This is a very confusing post if you haven't played the game. If you want a whole article about this theory, look no further but here.

Rockstar's Latest.

May is a big month for gaming since Rockstar's latest game is coming out, Max Payne 3. If people haven't heard of this series, get out of your hole. This game is known for action and adventure, there is even a movie based off the game (sucks though with Marky Mark). But it is known for this thing called Bullet time, where Max throws himself in the air in slow motion dodging bullets while sending his towards his enemies. The latest update from the game is that Max is now old and washed up, but still kicking. If he is shot in a certain place, the gamer will be able to see this effect on Max's body. Perhaps a limp or maybe it will be harder to aim. It is nice to see games are actually getting more realistic, who can take 10's of bullets and still walk around all fine and clean? Max will walk around bloody and like he got his ass kicked, which I love!

This week, on March 14th, my band and I are going to Austin, Texas for the SXSW festival and we are playing at two places in one day. The first place is called Maria Maria and is a restaurant owned by Carlos Santana. The other place is called Shiner's Saloon, and we will be playing this show at 11:00 PM so we hope that brings in a crowd. All day long before the shows and between them, we will be handing out CD's left and right to anyone who will take them, and let them know about the shows coming up. This journey will be a strange one but needed, since this will be a first show out of state, and this means not seeing familiar faces. Hopefully this will be good since the best advice a band can get is from people they don't even know. That's when the band knows that their music is actually getting somewhere. The band as well as myself really hope this opportunity doesn't fall through, we are hungry at this point.
