    Fuck EA.

    The book should be required reading for any video game fan. So many insights into why games turn out the way they do, like the fact that EA did, in fact, ruin Bioware with their garbage timelines to push earnings (looking at you DA 2).

    FRITOS, RANKED:

    That Nightfall was so much easier once we realized how much of a difference the Prism effect actually made. 

    Shep you do the work of the gods but I have to mention that this isn’t close to an all-time low. It was down to $67 the day after Prime Day.

    The added cost for settlers hasn’t seemed to slow the computer down one bit, in terms of settlement expansion.

    Sad that not even all the talk about “boots on the ground” could keep him interested in Call of Duty.

    SPOILER: “Mackenzie” is actually Larry David

    An all-too common occurrence when gunning for the Call of Duty 25-kill nuke.

    Eh. It’s definitely not 30 seconds because most of us are lazy and only do it once a year (or less). That means you inevitably forget how to do it, so you have to pull up a YouTube video on your phone.

    In 6th Grade, a friend of mine gave me a picture of Jenny McCarthy he’d ripped out of Playboy mag. Forgot it in my jeans pocket when mom grabbed the dirty clothes to do the laundry. I didn’t get to hang out with him for a while after that.

    Shep you keep forgetting to include this vital information when talking about the DFS lanes.

    I’ve eaten horse at a steakhouse in Iceland (LOOK AT HOW TRENDY COOL I AM). It tasted like a leaner steak, but as tender as a fattier piece.

    By far, my biggest problem with this game is the writing. Maybe I’ve just come to expect a lot more from Bioware. But, for the sheer amount of storytelling information in this game, there are some gaps that are either lazily filled or not filled at all.

    I had to do a triple-take before I realized that image wasn’t real. Another Jim Cooke masterpiece.

    It was a noticeable improvement, but not like mind-blowing like the upgrade from dial-up to broadband or anything.
