Is this the same tour where Graham Norton made fun if Cavill for doing Warhammer?

Yes - though folks really made a mountain out of a molehill on that Norton clip

I saw that someone (Bazler?) Called him out on it when they were on G4 w Woods.

For the one or two people that still care, the servers for Mass Effect Andromeda appear to be down.

Overuse.

I saw you were playing online a couple days ago.  That alone might count as overuse at this point.

[jstout]

Yeah, I get bored and wanna see what's going on. You can't get a game without going through quick game and taking what you get (or not, depending on what it is). Trying to start your own game is impossible. Makes daily objectives harder. If I had to guess, there may be 10 or so on at midnight eastern.

The Legendary Edition will be hitting Game Pass on January 6

[Gonzo]

I regret nothing.

So, apparently if you use the right mod on Mass Effect: Andromeda, you can find Mordin. Sort of.

https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/ugxxh0/i_found_mordin_solus_easter_egg_on_my_fifth/

I'd normally put the link in there differently but I keep getting an error pop-up when I try to do that.

[RIPPA]

That reddit thread is interesting as I couldn't figure out what part of the game that was but someone mentioned it was when you get the lamp for the two stoners and then I instantly remembered that mission

And someone posted why the scene was cut

Quote

Not sure about the others, but this one was mentioned in their "Stories and Secrets" book. Something about the ratings review board, and how they missed the deadline for disclosing "drug references" in the game. I remember looking it up when I first found this cut dialogue because I thought it was a bug.

Now I am trying to remember all the Andromeda links to original ME characters (besides obviously Liara)

• There is now that one to Mordin
• Garrus' Dad
• Nyreen Kandros' brother??? cousin???
• Zaeed Massani's Son
• Conrad Verner's Sister
• A lot of the Cerberus folks (Illusive Man, Miranda) get named dropped

There’s a side mission in Andromeda that makes reference to Project Overlord.

I beat the game and I remember exactly none of that, including Liara.  The game obviously left a deep impression on me.  

I can tell you where the ammo drops are on just about every multiplayer map, but it took me forever to even recall the player character's name.  

[RIPPA]

I keep telling myself that I hate myself enough to do another playthrough of Andromeda

But I never even finished my playthrough of the Legendary Edition so that will never happen

Poor stack of unplayed games 

[RIPPA]

Mary DeMarle - who was the lead writer on the Guardians of the Galaxy game - has joined Bioware and will be the Senior Narrative Director for the next Mass Effect game

[J.T.]

I heard.  I think it's a good move.

I believe they also approached Drew Karpyshyn, but he is happy with his light development schedule at Archetype Entertainment / Wizards of the Coast.  He's there with former Bioware leads, James Ohlen and Chad Robertson.

So, after about a year, I've finally completed Mass Effect 2! And it only took 3 missions into 3 to get me back to ME3 multiplayer. Huzzah!

[Robert C]

The Normandy's crew has been hanging out at the Citadel DLC party since maybe a month after the remaster release. The may end up there forever.  I may have accidentally created the good ending.

[RIPPA]

Yeah - I realized I never completed my first playthrough of the Remaster

That was supposed to be a summer project... oh well

To be fair, imo, everything past Rannoch is a bit of a chore, save the party. It’s kind of amazing how much Mass Effect 3 falls off a cliff after the 2nd act.

I beat that fucking thing in about three weeks.   The bugged Paramour 3 achievement is still locked, but it will take a lot of motivation for me to go back just for that.  I never bother with Insanity runs, so that locked achievement can go pound sand.

I'm probably around 70-80% done with 2 and haven't gone back in at least half a year. Really should beat it and FF7R.

Happy N7 Day

Welcome to another day where we don’t get more info about ME4
