The thumbnail is W Morgan Sheppard from Max Headroom and I sad cuz he died last year. Mark Sheppard (his son, was on SPN and BSG among other things) was gracious enough to share a bit of his dad’s last days on IG (IIRC.) He was magnificent. Rest in peace, Blank Reg. 💜

Yahtzee asked a question that haunted me about mass effect. He asked if the people who loved me1 also loved me2 and me3. I shouldn't be surprised to hear that me1 was the least liked or even hated game but I absolutely loved it, wasn't very happy with 2 because it was a cover based shooter and the villain wasn't great, and was torn on 3. It wasn't great game play but the story was fantastic. I have wanted that remastered trillogy for the ps4 for 5 years now and I finally get it for the ps5.

I enjoyed all three games personally, I missed some of the RPG stuff in the sequels but the boss battles were way less clunky and frustrating.

I've been literally waiting years to hear Gav talk about Cyberpunk 2077. I hope he comes on soon to talk about it <3

I still can't play the PC version on a high end VR capable PC cause I can't pick up the shit in my characters starter area. It's common with Nomads Among Us is just a ripoff of Space Station 13 and Mafia so that's a weird complaint that Fortnite is copying. Andromeda was a fucking awesome game a month after release... it was the best of the series.

So, I started a Change.org petition you might be interested in. Basically, if consumers don't refund customers for Cyberpunk 2077, we threaten a mass chargeback, and Sony could take a $200 million loss from not having consumer friendly return policies. The game is great and does not deserve that, but you have to protect your rights through the legal means available. http://chng.it/5yZHj9s9pJ

hell yeah signed, Sony's refund policy has been dogshit for years, it's about they paid the piper for years of treating customers like cattle.
