Okay. Here’s my game plan leading up to the launch of Mass Effect 3 (I know you guys were dying to know).

  • Import most recently completed Shepard (Female, mostly Renegade) into Mass Effect 2.
  • Play through on Normal and hopefully obtain at least three of the seven achievements I am missing.
  • After beating it (and thus, reaching Standard Ari Readiness for Mass Effect 3), return to Mass Effect 1 and start the Insanity playthrough with my BroShep.

The following will be interrupted, most probably, by Mass Effect 3’s launch on March 6th.

  • Play through and beat Mass Effect 1 and obtain the remaining four achievements.
  • Import this BroShep into Mass Effect 2 (on Insanity), pick up the rest of the achievements, and beat the game.

This is the Ultimate Ari Readiness for Mass Effect 3, although Standard Ari Readiness is acceptable enough to start.

Also, I just realized that Mass Effect 3 comes out during the week of GDC (Game Developers Conference). I am not attending the conference, but there are two related events that I will be attending: the San Francisco screening for Indie Game: The Movie (same day as ME3 launch), and then a giant party thrown by the indie game dev elite on the next night, basically.

Oh also I need my portfolio site and business cards ready by then.

Hmm.

If someone walked by my desk right now, they’d see tears in my eyes. Nothing’s wrong! Just watching the trailer for Indie Game: The Movie for the millionth time and still tearing up.
