I know basically everyone on my flist is here because I ramble on about Supernatural and make cracky icons, but I need to rant about this.... this....... *grumbles*

Mass Effect is being turned into a movie.

Nevermind the fact that the game pretty much was a movie... It was the most cinematic thing I've ever played, and the story lends itself to making a movie it's just that... it already WAS one.

Not to mention the fact that they'll probably make Commander Shepard a guy rather than a girl, which is just a waste of a potentially badass female main character. It also means Ashley will be around more (and she's really annoying), and Kaidan will probably not be around much, and I will weep for new!Carth. Btw,

tahu recently discovered why the two of us are so attached to Castiel: he's like a real-live Carth. He just doesn't fly a spaceship. :D *votes Misha Collins for Kaidan in this movie*

What? If they're gonna make it anyway, they may as well make it enjoyable. :D

I just don't think that the aliens can be done in a believable way, nor can the massive scale on which this game took place be condensed down into a movie. And I love you, Bioware. I do. But please just keep making games. Mass Effect is supposed to have a sequel! Work on that! And while you're at it, make sure KotOR 3 comes out for Xbox and isn't an MMO. Please.

Ooh... Live-action!Garrus. You know what? Maybe this won't all be bad. *starts casting the game in her head*

But seriously. Why this and not KotOR? Why did frigging Attack of the Clones get made, and not KotOR? Live-action Knights of the Old Republic Movie would've made MILLIONS. And this is just from Carth alone. It's the best Star Wars story ever, and yeah, I'm including the original trilogy in there. Deal with it. It's true. :)

KoTOR RPG Guide, HOMG.

I've always been tangentially interested in playing a tabletop game, but there are just not enough nerds in my life. I wonder if I shouldn't get the book just for the art. (We all know I will... Bastila's on the cover omg!!! But seriously, what have they done to her hair?) The costume references alone might be worth it. WE SHALL SEE.

In other news, I bought some red hair dye last night, and I'm hoping to give it a shot tonight. I sincerely hope it all turns out alright; most of the pink is out of my hair at this point (it's been almost 3 months since I last dyed it), so I'm hoping that has no bearing on the color that comes out in the end.

Alright, I'm not going to lie. I'm preoccupied with the fact that io9 is looking for interns. I'm a pretty big SciFi nerd, but only in regards to newer stuff. I'm pretty big into nerd culture, though! That should count for something! I just don't have any professional examples of writing to send with an application other than a couple research papers I did for school last year. *sigh* Anyone want to offer me any ideas as to what I could do, because I'd like to at least apply, hopeless though it might be.

*goes back to coveting the KotOR Guide and playing Mass Effect*

I hate myself. I have to work tomorrow morning, then watch magical movies all day and make pie, and then get all excited for birthdayly activities with

randomfangirl29, and I CANNOT SLEEP. At all. Blegh.

I was sick all day Saturday, but I'm perfectly fine now. Who knows. I've kind of been sick off and on since I got back from Mexico, but this definitely has nothing to do with that.

( Nope, this probably has everything to do with the awesomeness that is Mass Effect. )

But in the end, the only complaint I'm going to end up having about this game is that it isn't KotOR 3. The graphics are so amazing, and they've got the conversation system down to a science. So why does KotOR 3 have to be an MMO?! I demand answers, Bioware. *sigh*

In other news,

tahu introduced me to the idea of learning Carry On Wayward Son on my ukulele. This is totally going to happen. I simply can't decide between slow/painfully-angsty or fast/super-peppy. Or I could play it like Kansas, but where's the fun in that. :P

I'm still not back 100%, but I wanted to pop on in with an art rec because I have these bucketloads of squee I must share with someone. :)

As some of you might know, my first fandom was for the Xbox game "Knights of the Old Republic". Now, we had some seriously talented fanartists, but my favorite was probably Aimo. She always had fantastic comics, and her marker skills are the subject of my constant envy. Anyways, I still watch her on Deviantart, and she was recently commissioned to do a picture for Supernatural.

It's just as fantastic as everything else she's ever done, and I thought some of you might appreciate it. :) So, yeah. Go have a look!

KOTOR 3, KOTOR3, KOTOR3.

AND THE END OF THE WRITER'S STRIKE. THE WRITERS! THEY ARE BACK ON THE DAILY SHOW!

AND KOTOR 3 IS NOT AN MMO. MY JOY CANNOT BE CONTAINED BY NORMAL TEXT AND MUST BE SHOWN IN CAPSLOCK AND SPARKLES.

I found an AWESOME site for ukulele tabs, and thus... my weekend was made. :)

Course, I spent the vast majority of the weekend pretending to study whilst really playing said ukulele, but peh. I just got back from my Political Science test, and if I don't say so myself... well... er... I don't actually know that I did amazingly, but I'm thinking it was at least a solid B. Which would be nice. *crosses fingers*

That being said, I'm done with class for the day. :) And since I don't have any immediate impending doom tests to contend with, I might have to work on my "Making the Cut" project, which fills my heart with GREAT JOY. I honestly can't wait until I can show it off to the world. So yeah. Just a month left. :) I was going to do two, but then... college came and ate my January, so... yeah. I'll be lucky to get the first one up to my specifications. *headdesk*

I'm also going to enter a contest to be on a G4 show. Why the hell not? They're looking for young girls who like to play video games, and that just so happens to be me, so... yeah. Never said anything about having to look good enough to appear on TV. I'm assuming they'll regret leaving that out when they get my audition tape, but yeah. Whoo.

And to top off my Things-I'll-never-get-but-wouldn't-it-be-cool-if-I-did Hat Trick, my dad wants me to submit a tape of some of the highlights we did for the football video to the local news station and just see if they'll let me do some editing work for them or whatever. I honestly think this is my longest shot simply because um... I'm not that versed in football and the only reason I knew how to put it together was because my dad gave me the clips. So... probably not the best course of action.

I was going to try and go as long as I could without knowing who won the Superbowl, but alas, Megan ruined it for me as soon as she came over last night. XD So yeah. Also, the Iron Man trailer is awesome. I saw it online and became rather excited. :)
( This is getting long, and what follows is rambly college stuff. :D )
Anyways. Maybe I'll play KotOR today. I have to do something to make up for all that excessive studying I did this weekend. Ugh. Plus, I just got off of Taris, so... the game is BOUND to get fun at some point. I mean, Juhani! Juhani is coming! :D I should totally fanart for KotOR again sometime. I miss it.

Also? How much do I love the new fandom-wide appreciation of Ruby? SO MUCH. <3

PS: Using this icon because OMG IF THE STRIKE ENDS SOON LIKE MY PSYCHIC TENDENCIES ARE TELLING ME THEN I WILL HAVE NO MORE USE FOR IT AND I LIKE IT. The end.
