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 [...]

We welcome special guest Hilary from Cabcat Industries to the podcast, and take a moment to get to know each other a little better.

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.

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.

Recipe: Wrex’s Rachni Jerky – Who Needs Luck? We’ve Got Jerky!

NA_MASS3_WREX_JERKY

Two thousand years before the Reapers were ever a threat, the vile Rachni threatened the universe.  If not for the heroism and sacrifice of the mighty Krogan, there is little doubt that the Rachni would have picked the galaxy’s bones clean.  While battling the insectoid menace, the Krogan began to run out [...]
