Rage quit

Ok I guess I have a bit of a temper. I played Mass Effect, Modern Warfare 2 and Borderlands for at least an hour yesterday. Starting with one of the major flaws in Mass Effect, the bullshit save system. ME's auto save doesn't kick in enough.

Ok I guess I have a bit of a temper. I played Mass Effect, Modern Warfare 2 and Borderlands for at least an hour yesterday. Starting with one of the major flaws in Mass Effect, the bullshit save system. ME's auto save doesn't kick in enough. Coming from the Dragon Age where I would only go out of my way and save when I thought something major was about to go down or I was going to call it for the day.  
 
Don't get me wrong, I'm elated that on consoles I can finally save at any point in time.  But ME doesn't do it well enough. On Noveria,  I was killed by Benezia's commando smurf squad. So I hit resume to pick up where I left off, only to find that it was no where close. It was about 4 load screens and 2 long ass conversations back. So I said "screw it" and popped in Borderlands, which I'm enjoying more and more everytime I play.  
 
Took a break from Borderlands when I thought it was time to grind a bit in Modern Warfare 2. In MW2 I played around 5 rounds of domination, 2 of them were Favela, which sucks for domination and is amazing for the kids who need to level up danger close (me included) however my ignorance of the map and the fact that you can catch a bullet any time from any direction (including above and below.) I realize that I need to learn that map esspecially how to get to the roof garden. The whole "Oh I wonder what's around this corner...Ah dude in a ghillie suit with 2 shotguns...noted." Isn't working so well. 
 
I did finish up the night with a little more Mass Effect getting past Noveria and now I'm off to Feros for the next area. Tonight I think i'm playing cards with friends but when I get back hoping to get some L4D2 or MW2 going.
