He recommended the ME series last August, yes that's when I started playing ME1 lol.

I have invested 1000 hrs in MP having started it in mid-March.

Way back, saw ME1 and ME2 going cheap and though "why not" and bought them.
As it turned out, great deal, loved both games and put 100's of hours into multiple playthoughts on each game, and from there I was pretty hooked on the series.

When I heard that ME3 would have a co-op multiplayer component, I thought that it would be something that I would hate. When the demo came out, I played it a bit a thought it was ok, not bad, but not something that I would put a lot of time into.

However, when I got ME3 and finished the SP, I thought that I might as well try MP as it couldn't be worst than the SP, and as it turned out, I really enjoyed it, and here we are, coming closer to 2 years later, I'm still here playing something that I once hated, and now love.

A friend had to convince me to try the mp as I was reluctant, he's stuck at 6 hours gametime while I've got 1850+

I believe the first Bioware game I played was KoToR, which I beat several times .. later I went thru a phase where I worked all the time for about 8 months; I when I lost that job, I had some money saved and took 6 months off .. bought KoToR2 and played that a lot (plus a lot of Elder Scrolls:Oblivion).

Not sure on the timeline, but I beat Dragon Age four times (Mage is OP)

Sometime around here I got ME1 for the Xbox and proceeded to beat that a couple times .. got ME2 the day it was released and ended up beating it 2 times.

For whatever reason, I wasn't in the mood for any new vids at the release of ME3, so I didn't get .. it took my brother buying me a month early Bday present to get ME3 (him and his friend wanted to play ME3MP with me) .. and thus, in August 2012, I started playing ME3 MP (FYI I played about 600 hours of MP before even starting SP)

Now here I sit with about 800 hours played while my brother and his friend have played considerably less ... ironic ..

I decided to try the Me3 demo. I liked the characters, and got hooked. Soon after bought all the other mass effects.

I had already played ME1 and ME2 when ME3 demo went public. It was still few days before you could fake you're Asian, so you could get full ME3 just after the first release. The first thing I've done was redeeming a free pack, in which I got my Human Male Sentinel on level 3. That defined my first class/character. I considered him stronger than others, because of tech armor (he-he), so with unlocking I've put on him heavy weapons. Later I moved on Turian Sentinel with same strategy. My Turian had reach, but Phantoms had flexibility. As a result I ended up with Asari Adept with Carnifex, don't knowing what a biotic explosion is (I think I've skipped Throw at all). On full ME3 I started with single player and now I have no memory of how I have started multiplayer. Getting my first Hurricane took few cycles spent with Hornet - I won't forget that.

It's interesting seeing all the "gateways" into ME3MP. I never thought of DA:O as a potential when creating this thread.

First bioware game I played was...

I've followed Bioware games since BG1 came out

...but I didn't follow Bioware, at that time I was 16 and didn't care about who made what, nor did I know the difference between a developer and a publisher, nor care. It was only when my friends got me into ME1 did I realize the same company had made the same game. (And KotOR for that matter which I had also played through three or so times.)

Galactic Readiness, to look back on it, for something so simple it was a good mechanism to drive people into trying  the MP side of things.

Nope. I got crazy about the game in summer when I clocked ridiculous amounts of time in game. Hence that number
Despite all that, I am still a scrub!

Bought my son an xbox for Christmas in 2010 and the complete Halo series. He wanted someone to go through the campaign with, so in January 2011 I bought an xbox and Halo series for me. Clerk at the store said quite a few old people like me get Mass Effect. After beating the clerk with my walker, I picked up my xbox and about a dozen games including ME1 and ME2. Tried online Halo multiplayer and after a few times of being cussed out by pre-pubescent boys, swore I'd never play an xbox online multiplayer again. I thoroughly enjoyed ME1 and ME2, and played every character multiple times. Got the midnight release of ME3 and on my 2nd playthrough went online to find out how to increase my Galactic Readiness. Swore I was only going to play multiplayer long enough to get my readiness to 100%, and now I have over 2,200 hours into ME3 multiplayer.

We elderly folks gotta stick together

I got addicted to BioWare games thanks to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Dragon Age: Origins. When I heard of Mass Effect, I went and got it for my laptop.

After a while, I was able to find Mass Effect 2 on the Xbox 360 on the cheap wall. This was a good thing, since my laptop of that time wouldn't have been able to handle it (or so I thought.) I eventually got Mass Effect digitally on my 360, and pre-ordered the N7 Collector's Edition when I heard of it for Mass Effect 3.

For Mass Effect 3, I did play some Single Player first, but got oddly addicted to Multi Player. I wasn't a Day-One Multi Player, but I was pretty bloody close.

In like the past half year, I've gone around and bought the Mass Effect Trilogy for my new laptop, which despite not being a gaming laptop in any way, is handling all games quite effectively. Playing on my laptop really did create a whole new experience from the one on my Xbox.

As for the BSN, I joined that during the Mass Effect 3 Beta, and I eventually come back from time to time to see new topics in the ME3 MP Forum. Don't really snoop at much else.

Funnily enough my Mass Effect story actually starts with series altogether.

In November last year (2012) Halo 4 came out and although we hadn't had a working Xbox for about a year in my house. I was (still am) a big Halo fan, so I though F it, I went out and bought a new Xbox and Halo 4.

After being utterly disappointed with Halo 4, I decided to buy some other games I new about but had never owned and or played much. Halo CEA & Reach, some COD games and the GOW series, early this year though I read about a series I had never heard of on the Halo forum, Mass Effect.
It sound like something I would like so in May I bought the first two games (didn't actually start playing it until July though. It wasn't quite love at first sight, I found the combat system a little well “clunky” is the world that comes to mind, especially after just spamming 3 GOW games in a few weeks, and so stopped playing after about a week.

In mid July my Xbox was stolen and when I got a new one in August, I thought “time to give ME another go”. Knowing what to expect my second attempt went much better and by late September I had finally finished my first play though of all 3 games.
Currently on my second play though which is taking a bit longer than the first due to splitting my time between the campaign and multiplayer (which I didn't even know about until I put the ME3 disk in).

At this point ME is basically all I play any more and I'm loving every second of it.
