* In case you didn't notice up there at the top, Masseffect2saves.com IS NOW LIVE!!

* Mods page updated with a link to a new Coalasced.ini editor.
* Ever want to see who Samara was modeled after?

3/6/10
* Yesterday my hosting provider moved us to a new server. While doing this they broke Shepard Downloads for ~7 hours. Sorry for the inconvenience guys. Currently, submitting a new Shepard is still broken. Spork is working on fixing this.
* New article on the Links page: D&D Tips from Mass Effect 2. Also posted some other helpful information there I had no better place to put.

* BIG ANNOUNCEMENT #1: This weekend for sure we'll have masseffect2saves.com live.

* Two new links in the mods section, one will fix Garrus' face in Mass Effect 1, the other will show you how to mod out the UI in ME2 for screenshotting purposes.

3/2/10
* Mods page updated with links to NarfGarg's Mass Effect 2 Mods and RoadCrewWorker's Mass Effect 2 Coalesced.ini Mod Manager. I also need someone who knows how to update mods for ME2 v. 1.01 to help update some of the mods, can anyone help with this? You'll get credit for your work. Thanks!
* Links page much better organized now. Would love to link to your ME2 project if you want me to. I'm still getting thousands of hits here per day, so please send in your projects!
* Almost 5,000 screenshots up in the screenshots gallery now!
* This has nothing to do with Mass Effect, but it's my site so I'm gonna post it anyway. :D if you play D&D, here's a post I made about playing D&D on hexes and some of the tools we use in the games I DM & play in. There's some downloads that may help you with your game.

2/28/10
* It's been a long time since I updated the news, eep! I actually did do it one day then forgot to update the file. Then I deleted it. Good job, Annakie.
* In the last two days I've added or changed information on almost every page. We've also gotten in about 10 new Shepards. I also started archiving the news off this page into a new news archive page. The old annakie.com/me news archive still exists as well.
* I've been working hard at the screenshots gallery (Well, yes this means playing the game as well.) There are now almost 4,000 high quality screenshots of about half the game so far for you to browse and download for whatever you'd like.
* Major overhaul to the on the way. I'm going to link to whatever I find on the internet relating to ME2 that I think is awesome. If you want your project linked, let me know. If I link to you and you don't want me to, let me know.
* New link on the mods page for Bravenu3's commented list of extracted audio files for out-game listening.

2/23/10
* StrudelMan's mods have been updated for the new patch. Links to both v.1.00 and 1.01 versions are available on the mods page.
* Working on seeing if we can get the rest updated for v.1.01 also.
* Spork prettied up the Shepards pages today, they're all a lot more consistent with each other and with the site overall now.
* New project in the works: The Screenshot Project. Just starting it now, but I'm working my way through a second playthrough screenshotting as much as possible. I'll be tagging and uploading screenshots as I go through. I already have over 1,200 Screenshots going up on my Flickr account in the next couple of days (And I've just barely made it to Horizon so far.) You can download any you want in up to 1680 x 1050 quality. Here's the Gallery but I suggest searching by tags.

2/22/10
* NEW! My friend Falken made an epic Female Shepard Mass Effect 2 Fan video! Check it out here and tell him what a great job he did!
* Guys we are really close to having masseffect2saves.com going live for real. Spork completed the beta database last night. I need to work on the submission page and we may need to tweak the thing a bit but we're close!
* Here's a Youtube video all about how to make ME2 run better for you!

2/21/10
* BIG EXCITING NEWS TODAY: The Autosubmit page is LIVE as well as the Shepards Database! Please check out the Mod / Save Submit Page for more information. If you've been holding off sending in a Shepard, because writing emails is hard and you don't want me to have your email address anyway, here's your chance to shine.
Please note: I have to manually approve all Shepards, so they will NOT show up right away, and also I will delete any jackassery that is submitted to me before anyone sees it. :)
* This also means that Spork is hard at work on the Mass Effect 2 saves database. The more hockey is shown on TV, the harder Spork will work!

* If you've submitted a save to me ANYTIME IN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF they should be inthe DB unless they were unusable for some reason. Please do not re-submit a Shepard.
* If you find something wrong with your Shepard, please shoot me an email. If your Shepard is named John (and maybe Jane), I'm going to need a LOT of details to find them, but the submision date that shows up on the character's profile will be pretty much required. There are about 32 different Johns submitted.
* About 15 new Shepards are now live because of the Database going live!

2/19/10
* Gibbed's Audio Extractor has been added to the mods page.
* SUNDAY I'll be unveiling the (beta version) of the self-submit page! We're hard at work doing stuff on the back-end stuff. Sorry it's hard to see right now.
* Some fans have created a campaign to as Bioware to remove helmets from the DLC armors. I heartily endorse this cause, because I'd really like to wear my DLC armor, too, but I'd rather see my Shepard's face! Throw in your support here!
* Sorry, no updates Saturday, ran out of time IRL to get them done.

2/18/10
* It's a slow news day in the Mass Effect world. Except for, you know, the Raloi. Anyway, if you have any news or announcements related to ME2 you'd like me to metion, just shoot me an IM or an email! Also, I am offering to host your mods if you've got 'em, so check out the Mod / Save Submit Page and send 'em in! :) 2/17/10
* New mods today: StrudelMan's outfits without Ammo Regen & a Coalesed.ini compiler tool. Check them out!

* Hey anyone know if it's possible to re-skin Thane as Kaidan? I want to do this for my next run (or the one after.) :)

2/12/2010
* I lied, I couldn't not link to this song - Kabuto the Python - Those Minerals (Warning: explicit lyrics)
