New BIOWARE FRANCHISE coming from ‘KOTOR’ and ‘MASS EFFECT’ creators. Bio-Boner.
It’s neat enough that the Gears of Bro: Judging You producer is helming the Mass Effect franchise. It’s even neater that this is freeing up the creators of the series to strike out into a new franchise. A new world! A whole new world, filled with dialogue choices and reputation systems!

Pointless Rumor: ‘STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC’ movie may be in works.
Listen, everyone else is talking about this rumor. Why shouldn’t we? God dammit! Why shouldn’t we? Especially since KOTOR means so much to me. When the game dropped ten years ago (TEN YEARS?!), it taught me an important lesson. At the time, I was in the depths of a deep sadness. Star Wars had sucked for two movies in a row, and I was convinced. Convinced that the entire fucking Star Wars Thing sucked. Along came KOTOR and sliced through that blanket of statement, proving that the Universe itself was ripe. No, no. Star Wars didn’t suck. George Lucas did. So it would be particularly fitting to me if the game that proved a Universe’s Worth in the darkest of hours was given the filmic treatment. I don’t think it will, but hey. Let’s pretend.
The Dude’s High 5s: Top 5 Most Wanted Video Game Sequels
I recently borrowed the Assassin’s Creed series from a friend. As I completed AC2 and moved on to Brotherhood I got to thinking; damn this series has a lot of sequels. So then I started thinking about series that were not as flushed out, or even independent IPs that could use a little more love. So here you have it, if I was overlord of the world, these would be the video game sequels that I would demand be made. (Requirements being that a game using the IP does not exist on the current level of home consoles)
The Dude’s High 5s: Top 5 Misunderstood Videogame Henchmen
So last week I shat in the pool and started pointing fingers. I get it, some of you were unhappy with my High 5. I’m gonna let you in on a little secret, that’s how I like it. This is a melting pot of ideas and opinions.
This week we’re moving into the realm of video games; a realm that I have disgracefully ignored until now. Today it’s about henchmen, specifically the waves and waves of baddies that you as the protagonist dispatch without hesitation. These aren’t the run of the mill bad guys. Perhaps these guys don’t quite deserve the hurting that you put on them. Maybe next time you encounter them, you’ll think a little more and just let them pass.
