Mass Effected VGA's

["Hi, I'm Commander Shepperd, and this is my favorite blog on the Citadel."]

The VGA's was Saturday and as expected, it was awesome. The host this year was Zachary Levi was the host. [He was hilarious.] As predicted and promoted, there were a few world premiers, some new trailers for up and coming games a much more. I'll make a couple more post about it throughout the week; but to start us off. It's Mass Effect time. Just below is one of the coolest trailers of the night and one of The Most Anticipated Game of the Year award winner. Mass Effect 3 pure awesome in your console.Enjoy this sweet trailer, and if you like Thresher Maw on Reaper action, then this video is perfect for you

[(In regards to the Reapers existence) "Somehow, I told you so, just doesn't quite cut it."]

Personally, when I play ME3. I Want the ability to tell of the Council, and I want to rub it in their faces. So they're not real huh? Looks pretty damn real to me! [Oh, and by-the-way. I **** told you so.] What can I say. I'd gladly take all the Renegade Points that little dialogue choice would give me, just to dig my spurs into them for running my name through the dirt in the past two games.

ATLAS is Your Key to Waypoint On the Go.

(Assisted Tactical Assault System)

This post comes straight down from Waypoint's HALO Bulletin: 12.8.11.

ATLAS, or the Assisted Tactical Assault System is the coolest app about to be on your phone. [If you're a HALO fan anyway. If you're not.....why are you here again? Oh! 'Cause of the other stuff I talk about... Right, no that's cool, you can stay. Wanna snack? No? Okay, well let me get back to this.] The ATLAS is you're best bud, it's your in the field TAC (Tactical Assault Computer) [Man acronym central! (Or MAC) *Snicker*]

Okay, okay. Seriously, the ATLAS is a app that will hit all the smart, mobile toys, we're now attached too. [Hail the Computer Overlords!] That includes Windows 7 Phones, iOS, and Android devices.[Depending on the device it may be $4.99, but from what they say, on a Windows 7 phone it's free!]

ATLAS hits the market places on the DEC, 10, 2011 [Yeah, tomorrow; Saturday] and it'll come stocked with features like this!


• Weapon and vehicle spawn locations for Matchmaking and Firefight games.

• Health pack locations.

• Near-real-time locations for weapons and vehicles during Custom Multiplayer games.

• Your location and that of your team members displayed on the map.

• ‘Follow me’ mode to track your movement.

• Dynamic player list, including current score for the teams and each player and equipped weapon for you and your teammates.

 I want to go on and on about exactly how cool this is and all it's possibilities; plus all the other features. [It's just so friggin cool that we have the tech and tools for this stuff!] Like I said, I want too, but wont. Why? Because Waypoint did all the legwork. SO if you interested. [I hope you are] jump to their site for a little light reading and prepare to have the advantage! See you out there!

[You can Craft Mines on your phone!]

If having MineCraft  in your pocket sounded awesome before, prepare for it to be awesome-er!

Right now on the pocket edition, you can create 'till your hearts content; but, no crafting, mobs or animals and you can't mine for inventory. [Not very MineCrafty I know]

Don't fear though, Mojang [The game's creators] knows of these shortcomings and even though there isn't a release date yet, there will be improvements. Improvements like, Mobs and Animals, Crafting, Inventory, and Item System and much more. So if you haven't bought a copy for your mobile device and aren't sure if you want to? Don't be too hasty, soon you may have awesome in your pocket just like you dreamed.

And it Comes Roll'n Out

[Go Shoot Something. I Know You Want Too]

As of today, the Battlefield 3 DLC Back to Karkand is now out for everyone on the PlayStation. (Next week for the folks on the Xbox)

Secondly, the new Xbox Dashboard is live! [See Picture Below]

[Man, shnazzy new digs]

Yup, the long awaited update has come, but it was a shaky release. The new dashboard was supposed to hit early this morning... [There was even a press release ya'll] but a delay hit, and even the boys at the press release didn't know! Well Microsoft jumped on it and sent out the alert. They said it'd be taken care of and the update would hit soon. Turns out, "Soon" was tonight and it's rolling out. The weird part is it's being shoveled out in "bunches" right now. So if you were gaming and forced offline so you could update. [That's why, you were one of the lucky "bunches" to get the overhaul before it became a widely available update.]

Well now that the weirdness is [hopefully] over; treat your Xbox to a facelift and enjoy all the new features!

Have Yourself a Merry Little Go Kart.

[I Haz Blue Turtle...]

Nintendo recently commissioned West Coast Customs to create two real life Mario Kart Go Karts. One of Mario's and one of Luigi's. So I wondered other that publicity, why make them? Well now we know. Nintendo created them to be awesome contest prizes! If you shop at GameStop and you're a Power Up Rewards member. If eligible,  all you have to do is by/trade a game sometime this December and you're entered! [Bam, it's that simple!]

So, you know. Go buy something, get entered. Then go find your self a turtle and start throwing it at people when you drive by! [Best part is you're already moving pretty fast, I doubt they'll catch you...]

Mass Effect 3 Has Pulse, and You Can Watch it!

[They're come'n to get'cha.]

BioWare has an internal video diary that keeps all their fans up to date on all their on goings.
They call it the "Pulse." As you'd expect the Pulse spends it's time talking about Mass Effect.
I've posted two video's below, one will go over the Collectors Edition of Mass Effect 3 with a few bonuses, the second will reveal how and where they came up with one of the series most iconic sounds.

Now just a friendly heads-up, the videos below, and contents therein, are awesome; however the hosts may feel a bit dry. So grab some BBQ Sauce [Or you're favorite sauce] to freshen up the experience and enjoy.  [Oh and it's BYOB if you're thirsty.]

[Anyone else getting excited?]

[Yup, I'm geeking out about it man!]

If you're interested in seeing more of the pulse; you can find here BioWare TV or at BioWare Mass Effect on YouTube.

Aww... Got a booboo?

[Failure can be Hilarious]

Today is a time to sit back. Take a deep breath, enjoy the little things in life. Like an Epic Fail that turns out to be pretty damn hilarious. [Also Funny! Yeah, that too.] So below it a collection of humor from the Epic Fails of GTA-IV.

[That's called "Instant Karma"]

[I... I just don't know....Bet ya he had a hell-of-a headache the next morning.]

[I'm thinking Blues Brothers.]

[Uh, no officer. I have not been drinking.]

Let me know which one is your favorite!

Later!
