[@neogreggory] Ahhh, Mass Effect. I still have to return and finish the third one. I beat one and two finally, and then The Witcher 3 happened, and then reading happened, and now I just have to turn the game back on and beat the thing!

That sounds like a pretty entertaining plot there, I may have to check it out. I think I saw something in the book store recently that's a Sci-Fi novel that ponders on what a space empire would look like had the Roman Empire never fallen.
