Mass Effect 3: Operation Silencer … MISSION ABORTED!

NA_MASS3_SILENCER

Operation Silencer has been deemed a failure. Even though we here at NA killed a few thousand banshees on our own this weekend, we apparently didn’t help as much as we needed to!  I have to admit, when I first saw the goal of (pinky to mouth) THREE MILLION banshees, I [...]

Phantoms Be Gone! Operation Exorcist a Success (ME3:MP)

NA_MASS3_EXORCIST

The drop ship was in site and we had less than 30 seconds to get on board before our operation was a complete failure. Tasked with the elimination of Cerberus Phantoms, we met heavy resistance and were struggling to get out alive. After fighting for what seemed like forever (or 30 mins), our team frantically sprinted toward our lingering salvation. Seconds before extraction, our Salarain engineer Yummo Jundomo was ambushed by a cloaked phantom, genetically modified killing machines courtesy of Cerberus.

PAX East 2012: Costumes, Creativity, and Genocidal Puppets!

NA_PAX_PHOTOS

Where would conventions be without the incredible costumes? There is something magical about seeing your favorite hero or villain standing in front of you in 3D. Costuming has come a long way since my very first comic book convention in the 1980s. The talented folks behind many of the costumes you’ll see below spent months toiling over hundreds of screen shots and concept art to make their creations look as realistic as possible. I’ll go out on a limb and say that conventions wouldn’t be what they are today (see: awesome) without the hard work and dedication of these creative misfits.

It shouldn’t matter if your individual score at the end is 1000, or 50000… all that matters is that the entire team is at the LZ when the clock hits 0:00. These thoughtful insights should help make that happen.

Would You Actually Watch this Mass Effect Cartoon Series? (video)

NA_MASS_CARTOON

Like many of you I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons. As a matter of fact, I called Saturday “cartoon day” until I was about seven years old. Back in the golden era of Saturday morning animated entertainment we had incredible (yet bizzaro) shows like Transformers, Thundercats, and the U.S.A. Cartoon Express. While programming like Star Wars: The Clone Wars still provides kids with a bit of “magic”, I fear that the days of utterly ridiculous 80s-style cartoons are long gone… Enjoy this April fools joke from the fine folks at IGN. For the record… I would watch the poop out of this show.
