  He knows when you are sleeping...

  

  Because he has very un-subtle spies...now bow before scary-arse Christmas Tree Man!

  What's the deal with EA?

  So I buy DragonAge: Origins. It's a fantastic game and I'm very happy with it.

  I've put about 9 hours into it so far and I got up to the first camp.

  

  

  So...what, £34.99 retail price isn't enough? I probably wouldn't be so annoyed if I hadn't sat through and listened to this bugger for 5 minutes before realising I can't do anything for him until I fork over real money to EA. And more to the point: this is in the clean install of the game. DLC to me should be things like an afterthought - "you know what would have been cool?" sort of idea.

  The fact he even exists in the game means that it was part of the original. Yes there's 60+ hours of other stuff which I will do instead, but I honestly don't get why EA felt the need to keep this cheeky bugger, this salesman in the game.

  Just to get one thing clear: expansion packs such as Shivering Isles and Half Life: Blueshift, I'm fine with. But...this? No. The sooner devs realise this is a completely asinine stunt to pull.

  I've been tagged

  Damn you C-Lee!

  Okay, so 5 random facts about myself...let's see.

  1. I have a degree in Psychology with Law, that I'd dead proud of. My dissertation was on Loneliness and Internet Usage, which I was proud to have shoehorned some psychoanalysis (which my department hates) and still got top marks on it.

  2. I have well over 200 games, including downloaded PC games from Steam, so now I'm sorting out which ones to throw out. I've decided on these so far.

  3. I'm currently learning Japanese. ぼくはすごしわかります。

  4. I always have really bizarre dreams. I love recalling them from time to time.

  5. My favourite band is Edguy.

  Reet, I'll choose my next tags in the comments when I'm done scheming. Mwahahaha.
