POPULARITY
Hear the full episode at http://www.patreon.com/strugglesession The fans demanded it! On this special double bonus episode we talk about the life and death of this generation's grandest sci-fi epic, Bioware's Mass Effect.
The game series that brought Matt & Kenny together gets its final chapter and one of the more challenging podcasts they've ever had to record. Enter the world of Bioware's Mass Effect 3.
Evan and Bitmob co-founder Dan Hsu discuss Bioware's Mass Effect, a game so good they had to wait three years before they were sufficiently prepared to finish it. They also talk a little bit about their quarantined backlogs, and way too much about virtual sex with aliens.
Unlike the set characters found in Japanese RPGs, western RPGs almost exclusively deal with created characters, with modifiable skill sets, gender, background, and most of all, looks. The downside is that this can lead to lifeless tabla rasas on which you are supposed to project yourself, egotist that you are. The upside? Big hot bears in RPGs! Who doesn't want that? So, firstly, we look at Bethesda's shake at the hugely popular Fallout franchise. How hot can a man wandering the nuclear wastes get? (If Mad Max's leather bound bears are any help, plenty hot.)Then we head over to the fantastic futurespace that is BioWare's Mass Effect, and finally check out the creepy troll-things that you can create with Bethesda's Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion!
