Mass Effect is a sci-fi adventure set in a vast universe filled with dangerous alien life forms and mysterious uncharted planets. In ME2, Saren's evil army of Geth soldiers has just been defeated, and humans, who are still struggling to make their mark on the galactic stage, are now faced with an even greater peril.

A Merry Christmas to all of you! Hope you had a great holiday and got loads of goodies from Santa!

For Christmas Eve, we went to a nice Brazilian BBQ place and got stuffed beyond belief. If you've never been to a Brazilian BBQ place, then you should really give it a go. It's basically a buffet where you have an open salad bar and the waiters come around with huge skewers of steak, sausages, chicken and so forth. There are over a dozen types of meat, and you can eat as much as you want.

The festivities are over, but we're staying a few extra days with the in-laws and will probably see Sherlock Holmes later today.
