@YummyHappyPills I'm jealous congrats

@kyleforrester87 @mookysam Hey I wasn't steady on my feet. It was only for a short trip to the ol' job center but hey, it was different for me.

@YummyHappyPills Great news. Next you will want a pair of the Puma Sonic the Hedgehog trainers.

@themcnoisy Who wouldn't...?!

@YummyHappyPills Congratulations; steady or not, you made it. Nicely done!

@YummyHappyPills Congrats, hope this is the start of things progressing for ya!

@YummyHappyPills Congratulations! Not entirely sure of your situation, but...keep at it! Take it one day at a time, one step at a time...keep climbing that ladder, inch by inch until you get to the top (or at least where you want to be).

Not sure if I missed a news story or something, but I found out today that Gameseek went into liquidation on the 10th May. No wonder I couldn't get onto their site!

@JohnnyShoulder Retail games other than AAA wont be available physically much longer. We are running out of places to go.

@JohnnyShoulder Weve touched on this before in this thread but in the UK if you want games that aren the annual sellers you go to GAME, Smyths or maybe Argos. Thats it.

If you want general exclusives, GAME, if you want Nintendo youre even less in luck.

This is the weird thing, the market is collapsing for delivering these games.

Did Gameseek have any stores then? I just thought they were online. Tbh i don't think i ever used em, i almost pre-ordered something but i cancelled as they took the money straight away.

I've not been into a store and bought a game for years now apart from trading at CEX. It's all digital and online retailers for me now.

@YummyHappyPills Congrats on your improving health.

I love the feeling of going down to the shop and physically buying a game, but sadly as others have said, that's a rare occurrence these days - I nearly always buy online now, or trade in at CEX. I think Dirt 4 was the last game I bought new.
It's just almost always cheaper online. Better loyalty card schemes could tempt me back to the high street, with actual physical rewards related to the games you've been buying, such as keyrings, mugs, trinkets like that. That's the only way I can see me going back to shops like Game now

@YummyHappyPills Congratulations, that's quite a landmark!

Is it me or is there more auto dialogue that doesn’t involve a choice in Mass Effect 3 than 2?

Also, with the ME3 romances, can you switch around at the end like in ME2, or does that not work in this one?

@Jaz007 It's a little more straightforward this time. You'll reach a stage in a romance whereby you "lock in" your choice. Up until that point, you can flirt with just about everybody and they'll respond but, at a certain point, even if you've simply been friendly enough with certain folk, romance-capable characters will ask to see you privately and specifically ask to go steady, or ask whether you feel the same way, or some variation. As soon as you say "I love you too" (or the equivalent) to somebody, all other dialogue will change; you either won't get the option to flirt, or you'll try and flirt and everybody will say "But what about your relationship with...?" and shoot you down.

There are a couple of romance options that aren't fully considered romances and won't unlock the associated trophy, but these are either dependent on you having romanced them in previous games, or are tucked away in some of the DLC and are very brief nods. Who did you romance in ME1 and ME2, if you don't mind me asking?

@RogerRoger Thanks for the response, it’s really helpful. I romanced Ashley in ME1, then Tali in ME2 (I romanced Miranda first though, and then switched to Tali.) I’ll probably keep Tali, but I heard you can romance Edi, and well, I just want to see what happens there without ya I g to have a entire olaytheough for it.

@Jaz007 Happy to help.

I'll pop this in spoiler tags in case you'd rather avoid confirmation of what choices are and, more importantly, are not possible, but I'm afraid you've been misinformed; Shepard cannot romance EDI.

Tali is good people, and she's got a great story arc. Miranda took some getting used to, but I really warmed to her by the end of the second game. I don't know too much about Ashley, mainly because of that brutal choice in the first game; I always let her die in favour of saving Kaiden.

Enjoy!

@RogerRoger Good to know, and by the way, if you use spoiler tags but @ someone, they don’t show up in the E-mail so you just see whatever they wrote.

@Jaz007 They don't...?! Darn it, I'm so sorry! I really hope I didn't inadvertently spoil your experience.

Thanks for the heads-up; I'll be more careful in future.

@RogerRoger No, that was something I’d want to know.
