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”.

FemShep To Be On ‘Mass Effect 3’ CE Box Art, Get Her Own Trailer. Win.

I play as a female Shepard in the Mass Effect games. I play as females in almost any game. I enjoy my protagonists to be powerful, assertive ladies. So, seeing only the regular male Shepard bombing around trailers bums me out. I imagine it bums out female gamers even more. Our sadness has been noticed, corrections are being taken.

Press Start!: It’s E3. Gimmicky Controllers, TVs, and Franchises.

Press Start!, the week of E3. There was a time when E3 was a wondrous occasion. Those days are gone now, like leaves from a tree. With the advent of the Internet, everything is known weeks prior. Secrets exposed, dissected. Shit is passé before it’s even revealed. Take for example Nintendo’s Wii U. While I’ll admit that seeing any new console in motion gets me up, it would have truly blown my asshole out if they could have kept the entirety of it secret until the conference.

With that in mind, let us not spend the entirety of our fleeting brain-focus-capacities on regurgitating the quasi-reveals and appreciable moments of the Big Three at the show. Let us instead turn our ADD-addled brains towards shooting the shit about the show. Deal? Press Start!’s usual conceit is pressed pause in   lieu of some geek spit.

‘Mass Effect 3’ To Be “Better With Kinect.” Crap Pies.

NeoGaf user Lakitu found Mass Effect 3 artwork on the EA store, and the poor box cover was singed deep down into its soul with a phrase that makes me want to vomit. “Better with Kinect Sensor.”

No!

No, no, no!

Mass Effect 3 To Allow For Same-Sex Relationships. About Time.

Wait, wait, wait! Stop the presses. So a franchise that allows for the player to design their own character and make essentially sculpt the fate of a galaxy is going to allow us to choose a sexual orientation? About fucking time.
