It's cold and I am bothered

As you undoubtedly heard on our most recent podcast this past weekend, BiowarEA has announced an expansion for Dragon Age, called 'the Awakening.' This is hot on the heels of their last-second announcement that they've delayed 'Return to Ostagar,' followed by a steadfast refusal to say why, which was followed 12 hours later by a quietly muttered, 'ya know, bugs n' shit,' kinda explanation.

I love Bioware, though the treatment I've been receiving at the hands of their owners has been less than kind. I've teased for a long time that I'm going to post the hilarious indifference that EA's tech support has shown toward their victims, and as soon as I have them all organized, I will. I'm still battling over EA's refusal to work with me on getting my Bioware profile to update with my Dragon Age game info, so I may wait until that is resolved, but we'll see.

Anyway, word on the street is that 'Return to Ostagar' is supposed to finally hit today, but I'm not holding my breath.

Make damn sure you read up on 'the Awakening,' because it sounds great, and I can't wait to see if we actually get to know 'the Architect' a bit, because he was a really interesting character in the most recent book.

So, I've got a few things on my mind that I was thinking about posting this week. One, my impressions of 'Dante's Inferno' or my gripes about 'things that lotsa gamers do that make us all look bad.' You pick.

Lemme know, and I'll post it in the next day or so.
