Either my xbox screwed up or I did.  The two are equally likely :)

Pilsner, I dunno if you've figured this out, but what you need to do is select "start new game," then go with "use existing career." It had me stumped for a moment too - "autosave" isn't quite the word I'd use.

Anyways, I'm really resurrecting this thread to talk about the completely insane Fox News thing going on.


--- Quote ---To bring everyone up to speed: Fox News made erroneous claims about Mass Effect. Game journalist and one-time Kotaku guest editor Geoff Keighley tried to clear the air, but the network's panel and dime store Freud shrink Cooper Lawrence wouldn't listen. The internet got angry and spammed her book's Amazon.com and Barnes&Noble listings. Amazon.com has since turned off the comments and erased user added images for her book's page.

Electronic Arts, likewise, got upset and called out the news network on its "insulting" inaccuracies. The Fox producer of the segment in question blew off Electronic Arts' request for a correction. There still hasn't been a correction or an apology from Fox News.
--- End quote ---

EA seems pissed off. Like, really pissed off. They just bought BioWare and they probably aren't pleased with the fact that the new IP they were excited to acquire is being tremendously misrepresented in the media.

Personally I hope they sue or something. Fox News isn't backing down and doesn't seem to understand the gravity of a libel charge. It's a mere pipe dream but I'd find Fox's misery absolutely delectable were they cut down to size by a game publisher.

Blue Kitty:
Fun stuff.  I especially loved the fact that Cooper Lawrence, author of several books on dating such as: The Cult of Perfection: Making Peace with Your Inner Overachiever; Been There, Done That, Kept the Jewelry; The Fixer-upper Man: Turn Mr. Maybe into Mr. Right in 5 Easy Steps; -and the unforgettable Cosmo Girl’s Quiz Book: All About Guys, went up against Geoff Keighley on a subject she knows little to nothing about.

Also, talking about the basic gamer stereotype of demorilizing women when she has books with titles listed above.

Johnny C:
I wonder how many of us would have to swear fealty to EA to get them to pursue this to the highest court?

I'd be willing to do it, they've cut their ratio of "crap game : good game" down to a reasonable one.

KvP:
They're better than they used to be, I suppose. I trust them more than I trust the current #1 publisher, Activision. EA looks to be doing all the right things with Rock Band (they've hinted at less focus on sequels, and more focus on new content, or at the very least making sequels compatible with prior game content) and as of yet they haven't made any wrong moves with Bioware. They'll almost certainly keep Dragon Age from cancellation.
