I received an email blast from Bioware, makers of Mass Effect, one of my favourite games of 2007 (the other being Bioshock, not actually made by Bioware – strangely enough).  The email pertains to some new footage of Dragon Age being available, a game under development.

First, an age check:

Why, after being asked for my age did I end up here?

By offering 2008 as a choice in the dropdown, I end up doing something I do on a regular basis – enter today’s date.  It was purely automatic; I did it without thinking.

I occasionally make this mistake during “age gates” when the dates run up to the present.  Are there really that many 1-2 year old cruising Bioware, looking for hot footage of this game?  At least kick out the current year to nudge me out of autopilot.

Starting up Safari did the trick ;-)
