Get ME:A early

By

How to, even if you're in Australia

YOU CAN DO IT TO! And you can get it right now!
  1. Sign up for an EA account
  2. Sign up or Origin Access for PC (AU$7/month and 10% discount on all Origin/EA games) or EA Access for XBox/PS4 (you can cancel after a month if you like)
  3. Download the Origin Client for PC (I don't know how it works on the consoles, sorry! :P )
  4. Click on the Origin Access the First Play trials
  5. Click on Mass Effect. Click on the version you have pre-ordered (if you have pre-ordered) to see the Download Link
  6. Accept the agreements
  7. Wait for 43GB to download (but the game is playable at 42%)

HOWEVER if you can get access to another person's computer, who already has the game, you can copy the files off the other person's computer. Here's how.
  1. Follow the steps above and wait until the download has at least reached 200MB or so (enough time to have created the directory structure and any registry settings)
  2. PAUSE the download (don't stop it)
  3. Copy the entire game download folder off the other person's computer and onto your own, making sure to MERGE the directories. Choose NOT to overwrite any files.
  4. UNPAUSE the download and wait while the new files are checked (this still took at least 5 minutes for me)
  5. Play the game! \o/
See you in Andromeda.

Oh dear Well, I thought I had time to blog, on top of the other content I'm creating, and well, it turns out I don't. Not even short posts. Oh dear. To be fair - I kind of forget to do it as well. I go ages without thinking about it - which means it's not a focus, which I suppose is only natural as there are games to play, videos to edit, end titles to create, and now live streaming on YouTube and Twitch regularly. And, well, I guess that's enough. Today's Video

January for JDRF

Help Conquer Diabetes!! Exactly 4 years ago, in January 2014 MissIcy (who was nearly ready to celebrate her 6th birthday) was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. She'd had a range of symptoms (loss of weight, drinking huge amounts of water, needing to go to the toilet a lot) which I'd put down to various things. A friend finally said to me "you know those are the signs of T1D, right?" I had NO idea. We went to see our doctor the next day. MissIcy was admitted to hospital within the hour and we were there for the week so we could learn how to keep her alive. Funds raised for JDRF go towards research to both make life easier for people to live with the disease, and towards a possible cure (oh, please, one day, please). Please, PLEASE, consider donating towards JDRF this month!!  Icy (and MissIcy!) ^_^ Donate to JDRF! FAQ Q: What is Type 1 Diabetes? A: Type 1 Diabetes usually (but not always) occurs in children. The body has a faulty auto-i...
