Episode 29 - Citadel Sightseeing

June 05, 2019 18:26 - 1 hour - 73.3 MB

We've got some things to catch up on before we get headed into Mass Effect 3's next big conflict, so we've decided to dedicate an entire episode to a few sidequests on the Citadel and some character stuff that didn't quite fit in to any of the other episodes. We discuss Aria's quest line to recruit some gangs, talk about how Traynor and Cortez's relationships are so far beyond most crew members in the series, and then shoot some bottles with Garrus on the Citadel. We also end the show with s...

Mass Effect 3, Episode 5 - A Sanity Check

May 29, 2019 16:00 - 1 hour - 96.3 MB

This week we're going to the Citadel for what will no doubt be a completely uneventful trip to the center of galactic society which is definitely not under siege by Cerberus and won't result in the death of a close friend. We talk about Kaidan and Ashley's final test of trust, how much Kai Leng sucks to death and picking up the last living Prothean. Also on the agenda is a closer look at how Mass Effect 3 handles romance, gives a tribute to the fallen, and saying goodbye to another friend go...

Episode 26 - Righting Wrongs feat. Jay Malone

May 15, 2019 16:00 - 1 hour - 89.3 MB

It's time to dive headfirst into intergalactic diplomacy. The Turians need the Krogan's help in holding Palavan before they can commit resources to the Crucible, and the Krogans have one condition: a cure for the Genophage. Jay Malone returns to join us on a trip to the Salarian homeworld, where we meet the last hope for the Krogan race.

Mass Effect 2, Episode 16 - Out with a Bang and a Whimper

April 24, 2019 16:00 - 46 minutes - 42.9 MB

We have one more stop to make in Mass Effect 2, and it's a fairly underwhelming DLC. While Arrival does have a somewhat interesting lead in to ME3, much of the mission feels relatively ordinary in the face of some of ME2's better missions. We also end the show talking about how our favorite Mass Effect characters rank up with our favorite characters in video games. Enjoy the show!

It's time to reunite with Liara for a mission as we aid her quest to take down the Shadow Broker.
