Mass Effect Message Board older than one year ago

#masseffect Homophobia and bigotry may run rampant on Xbox Live, but game designer Robert Yang is optimistic about the present and future of LGBT issues in the gaming industry. More »

#masseffect In recognition of just how damn great they were, BioWare and EA have struck a deal that's transformed Indonesian artist machine56's Mass Effect t-shirt designs into actual, official merchandise. More »

#masseffect Triforce, the creators of many fine video game replica weapons, are getting ready to arm 600 lucky customers with scale replicas of the M-3 Predator Pistol from Mass Effect 3. More »

#pc I love my desktop PC. I'm a PC gamer through and through, and my current computer, which is the machine I also use every day for work, is one I built for myself in 2010. I dust it out regularly, am careful with my file management, and have mastered the art of putting the mouse away at night so the cat can't chew through its wire again. More »

#watchthis Luke first told us about Red Sand, a fan-made Mass Effect film starring the voice actor—Mark Meer—of Commander Shepard himself, in February. More »

#masseffect During the Mass Effect trilogy you fight a few friendly species "re-appropriated" as bad guys by the Reapers. But not all of them. So concept artist Andrew Ryan decided to imagine what it would be like if the Reapers had been a little more thorough. More »

#mylittlepony I know what you're thinking. Don't we get enough My Little Pony images in our comment section on a daily basis? No, especially not enough video game parody covers from a guy that remembers the PlayStation classic Evil Zone (Evil Pone). More »

#masseffect The Mass Effect trilogy features a galaxy's worth of exotic, alien-inhabited locations... with a bar in nearly every port ready and waiting to serve the Commander and her intrepid crew the finest of the milky way's brain-draining beverages. More »

#whiners I like Michael Pachter. I really do. I get Castleville requests from him all the time. Seriously, though, I do go to Pachter for comment occasionally in my sports columns, mostly because the deals cut in that genre are complex and often rely on a publisher partnering up with older businesses, and he understands those relationships much better than I do.

#toys Brian Johnson makes replica video game weapons. Unlike other ones that just look nice, though, he goes the extra mile and has them functioning as actual NERF guns. More »

#baldursgate While many composers worked on the Mass Effect soundtracks over the years, Sam Hulick and Jack Wall are the names most commonly associated with the game. Wall composed that emotional menu music that was hidden in Mass Effect 3, while Hulick composed the music that plays while navigating the galaxy map. More »

#rumor Activision's new Family Guy game will feature a parody Mass Effect level called "Mass Erect," according to a source with ties to the game. More »

#masseffect When I play Mass Effect, I'm really more of an Assault Rifle or Shotgun-guy, but I do love those heavy pistols. The sound they make, that punchy "pop" that causes so much damage. More »

#masseffect Indonesian artist Machine56 has come up with these pictures of Cerberus troops from the Mass Effect series, making them available as some rather fetching wallpaper fodder. More »

#lego Complaints about certain parts of Mass Effect 3 may be more contemporary, but let's not forget the first game had a more serious problem: the Mako tank drove like shit on wheels. More »

#masseffect Brandon Keener, also known as the voice of Garrus Vakarian, made an appearance on ABC's Castle this week. You can even hear tinges of the rogueish turian when Keener's voice gets real low. And he didn't even have to calibrate anything. More »

#masseffect James Vega can be an easy character to overlook, in Mass Effect 3. He's just another human guy, and the final game in the trilogy is the first time he appears. He hides out down in the Normandy's cargo bay, a little out of the way when Shepard's just making the rounds. More »

#masseffect Many video game remixes combine tracks from a game's soundtrack into a new-sounding creation. That's all well and good, but with "Space Effect," remixers Reverse Enginears take it one step further, creating an entire tune out of nothing but music and sound effects from Mass Effect 3. More »

Here's something we didn't expect to see today, or ever: Mass Effect's Geth Legion and Resident Evil's Albert Wesker engaging in a bit of friendly trash talk.

The two characters make fun of Charlie Sheen and discuss forming an alliance, in a video that serves as a goodbye of sorts from voice actor D.C. Douglas (who plays both) to the two characters. We're guessing the "goodbye" to Wesker is premature, something the pair even jokes about a little, but it's fun anyway.

#masseffect Check out these awesome Mass Effect hoodies, designed by deviantART user lupodirosso earlier this week. More »

#speakuponkotaku We're not talking developer, designer, producer or sound engineer. Today's Speak Up on Kotaku from commenter nicp1112 is all about what job you'd like to be hired for in an actual video game. Still confused? More »

#caketaku Or at the very least they video taped it so they can add more context via cinematic scenes a few months from now. More »

#masseffect BioWare is planning to flesh out the existing ending of Mass Effect 3, but that doesn't mean fans haven't already done some fleshing-out of their own. More »

#paxeast Our own Stephen Totilo and Kate Cox are at PAX East, liveblogging BioWare's Mass Effect Panel. More »

#paxeast Today at PAX East, Stephen Totilo ran into a familiar face—Rana McAnear, the actress who provides the official model for Mass Effect's Asari Justicar Samara and her unhinged sex-killer daughter Morinth. More »

#masseffect The extra content generated in response to fan outcry over Mass Effect 3's controversial ending will be out this summer, according to a press release issued by EA this morning. More »

#fashion Chicagoan Alexandra Threw has posted the above Mass Effect-inspired N7 Leggings to Etsy, where you can buy a pair for $75. More »

#masseffect Who cares about the ending of Mass Effect 3? The creators of the "young and sassy" Mass Effect: The High School Years know that the part of BioWare's big sci-fi gaming series that most urgently needs work is the beginning. More »

#watchthis Witness what happens when a happy couple is exposed to dangerous doses of Mass Effect. It's not pretty. More »

#aprilfools A couple weeks back, Markus "Notch" Persson said he wanted to explore the possibility of a space-trading Firefly-inspired sandbox game akin to Firefly. It now appears that was a huge put-on. More »
