Star Wars: The Old Republic Gets Release Date, My Winter Break Gets Meaning.
So I was legitimately bummed that Diablo 3 had been pushed back into 2012. Big time! Emptiness. I should have known better. But I must cheer up! It seems that another title that I have anticipated (while something sludging it on the website, because I fear it won’t be good) will be dropping round around Christmas time. Star Wars: The Old Republic, say hello!

BioWare: Commander Shepard’s Story Done With ‘Mass Effect 3’. Makes Sense.
BioWare has come out and made official what I had assumed: Commander Shepard’s place in the Mass Effect universe will be completed with the final installment of their first trilogy. A single tear slides down my cheek in commemoration of the good lass I’ve spent so many hours with.

Old Republic Called ‘As Interesting As A Naboo Trade Blockade’. Not Surprised.
I am a Star Wars nerd. I like MMOs. You’d think the two would mix into some delicious concoction for me. Nope. While I have friends throwing rope and counting the minutes until it comes out, nothing – nothing – I’ve seen about it convinces me it’s anything but another MMO. With a bloated budget, too much voice work, and the monolithic Star Wars hype train pushing it.
Luke Plunkett at Kotaku confirms my anxieties.
Mass Effect 3 Developer Says Games Would Benefit From More Diversity. Duh.
Ree
In a recent interview, Mass Effect 3 senior designer Manveer Heir opened up about his want for more diversity in the gaming world. Wait, I thought all protagonists were chosen by God to be White Males? Someone clearly hasn’t told Heir this.
BioWare Hopes Old Republic Lasts Decades. Good Luck With That.
I’m going to let you in on a secret. Something inside of me tells me that SWTOR isn’t going to be good. I don’t know why, I just have the suspicion. The emphasis on voice acting and storylines? Give me grind quests and fucking dungeons! No, I have no idea. BioWare doesn’t share my skepticism. Maybe cause they made it or something. They think it’s going to last for decades. Decades.
BioWare Reveals New ‘Mass Effect 3’ Character, James Vega. Super BroDude Woah.
Mass James Vega, a new character to the Mass Effect franchise. Vega is known around the galactic community for excessive amounts of hair product, the smell of whiskey and pussy on his breath, and his overall asstastic character design. BioWare should have just named him “Gears of War Guy” or my preferred name “Super BroDude”.

Rumor: ‘Mass Effect 3’ Getting Four-Player Co-Op Mode. Frak Yeah!
The deluge of Mass Effect 3 splooge continues to wash over my welcoming body today. There’s a good chance that Mass Effect 3 is going to get some substantial co-op missions. Boom!
