For the first time, I am choosing to participate in the blogging event known as International Picture Posting Month, generously organized by Chestnut of Gamer Girl Confessions. I’d like to say this decision is motivated by an upswell of community spirit, but in truth it’s mostly because I heard there were prizes.

You may accuse me of many things, but you can’t say I’m not honest.

Posting 50 new screenshots in a month is not much of a challenge for me. My picture folder on my computer has over 10,000 files, and the large marjority of those are video game screenshots.

Still, my usual posting schedule might not have allowed me to reach the goal, so I figured a special picture post or two might help. Ever the virtual narcissist, I immediately thought of posting some portraits of my many MMO characters… and then it occurred to me I have so many alts across so many games I could probably hit the 50 goal just by posting one of each. Let’s find out, and as always, remember to click the images to see them full size.

And so, without further ado, I present you… ALTS! ON! PARADE!

To prevent this post becoming too bloated, I think I’ll stop there and bring you the rest later…

Not the kind of porn you may have been looking for if you found this on Google. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This post is not about porn in space, but porn of space. Mass Effect: Andromeda’s interstellar graphics are nothing short of breath-taking, and the game helpfully lets you hide the UI and explore all sorts of different camera angles from which to view the planets, stars, and stellar phenomena.

For a screenshot nut like me, this is basically crack, and I’ve developed an extensive collection of photos from my exploration of the Heleus Cluster. I now share the best of them with you.

There’s no plot spoilers here, but if you’re really passionate about exploring, you may prefer to stumble on these vistas yourself.
