During our hands-on preview of Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition on the PS4, we got to see how Second Edition Dungeons & Dragon rules can be applied to a turn-based video game. I was originally introduced to Baldur’s Gate and D&D from Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance. Little ...[Read More]
BioWare Explains Future Changes for Mass Effect Andromeda
In the two weeks since Mass Effect Andromeda launched officially to the world, the reception has been less than ideal for developer Bioware. Sitting at a 71 on Metacritic, it is by no means a bad game, but many claim it does not come close to the grandeur and legend that has become the original trilogy. The bright side of all of this? Bioware and EA have the means and resources to hopefully fix so...[Read More]
Mass Effect in Retrospect
Full disclosure, I am going to spoil the crap out of the entire Mass Effect franchise to date. If you’re not cool with that, I can totally understand that. Here’s the TL;DR though, I love Mass Effect like some people love Shakespeare. It’s probably the most important piece of art that I have ever experienced.
Cards Against Humanity Teams Up With Bioware
I could sit here and make a handful of clever jokes that get the job done, but instead: FOR ALL THAT IS HOLY CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY AND BIOWARE ARE TEAMING UP. Now that that is out of my system, let’s get to the facts. Today it was announced that a Mass Effect Pack is coming.

Review: Mass Effect 3 (PS3/360)
After completing Mass Effect 3 a total of four times on two platforms, countless hours of multiplayer, and numerous podcasts covering the story and controversies around it, I still don’t know if I’m ready to talk about the game. My career with Mass Effect as a series has meant completion of every game on both Xbox 360 and again on PS3, reading comic books and novels, and pulling everyone I could i...[Read More]
Marooners’ Talk: Episode 020 – “The Not Mass Effect Episode”
Marooners’ Rock has reached Episode 020, titled, “The Not Mass Effect Episode.” Despite its name, there is actually a great deal of Mass Effect discussion that takes place in this episode. That being said, there are also a great deal of spoilers for those who have not played Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, or Mass Effect 3. No content is held back, so if you haven’t had the cha...[Read More]
Marooners’ Talk: Episode 019 – “Stop Playing Tekken and Make Me A Sandwich”
As soon as we came up with the podcast title for this week’s episode, I had a sudden urge for a sandwich. I could have asked my wife to make one for me, but I am particularly averse to getting slapped in the back of the head. “Stop Playing Tekken and Make Me A Sandwich” marks Episode 019 of Marooners’ Talk. We’re a day late because SOMEONE had to have a birthday yeste...[Read More]
Mass Effect 3 Demo Impressions
This weekend I was all ready to avoid the Mass Effect demo. I didn’t want any spoilers at all, I wanted to walk into the opening of the game fresh so I could fully experience it as it was intended. I was doing a good job of avoiding the demo too, until news came out that the PC version was available for download and my resolve disappeared. Less than an hour later I was playing the PC demo...[Read More]
Calibur11 Reveals Mass Effect 3 Vault
Limited to a run of 25,000 numbered units, Calibur11 is perhaps unwittingly responsible for what future Internet historians will refer to as “The Great Nerd Rage of 2012,” a major topic of discussion and consternation in future-students Early 21st Century Formative Events history classes. I can only hope against hope that those future-people will be excellent to each other, in much the...[Read More]
