Day One Hundred eighty: Evening of January 30th 2010

Must complete Mass Effect 2. Must complete ME2. I Must complete Mass Effect 2 before Bioshock 2 is released next next week. Status remains the same.
I spent the day bulking up the crew with upgrades. Upgrades require resources - lots of and many types of resources. You can accumulate small amounts of resources through the scenarios, but those supplies are the proverbial 'drop in the bucket' as far as what you really need to build up both defensive and offensive improvements. How do you acquire the needed resources? Planet mining is the answer.
It's funny, but in order to save the known universe, you have to deplete planets of certain minerals. Granted most of these planets are gaseous or unpopulated worlds. I wonder if the designers, who designed the game to include moral decision points, considered the impact of some of the planet stripping on the non-carbon based entities that might be living, a la the Horta of Star Trek, in the planet. Of course, if the geth, the Collectors, and the Reapers triumph, it won't make a difference. Maybe something like this will occur in the final chapter of the ME trilogy.
We shall see.
For as long as it is needed, I’ll keep closing this way, please check out a good organization that’s providing aid in Haiti and make whatever kind of contribution that you can afford.
