Sci vs. Fi: Mass Effect airing Tuesday

For those who didn't catch the Halo 3 edition of Sci vs. Fi (on, you guessed it, the Sci Fi network), you missed an interesting look at the game from a number of different perspectives. Scientists picked apart the game from a logistical standpoint, Bungie discussed the creation of the game, gamers talked about how the game differed from it's previous iterations, and Brian Posehn brought the funny. A good time was had by all.
Tuesday night, Sci Fi is airing a special look at Mass Effect on the program. From the looks of it, we can expect the commentary of Keith David (Requiem for a Dream creepster who voices Captain Anderson in the game) and the ever insightful observations of the Cho-Bot. Of course, by that time, you'll probably have the game in your hot little hands, your mind aflutter with all the galactic exploration you'll soon be doing. We won't blame you if you forget to set your TiVos.

"If you say the narrative sucked that means you sucked"
Now you can't flame Mass Effect for story because YOU CONTROL THE SOTRY!!!

I'm really glad that I'm finishing up a project this Monday for school, because after Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. I will immerse myself in Mass Effect and I might have to take off my afternoon class that day. Maybe I'll think about getting Rock Band to sate myself with when I'm done saving the galaxy.

Man, if I buy this game before the end of the semester, I'd most certainly fail all my exams. *whimper*

Ready for round two? *giggle*

I'll just have to watch this with a carton of ice cream, crying because I won't be able to play Mass Effect until my 360 gets back :(

Yes.

For anyone interested, EB Australia has broken the street date. As in, they've got it on shelves and are selling it.
I got it on Friday and beat it yesterday (sleep? ha! who needs it) :D.
I'm surprised this hasn't been reported anywhere.

I am so confused. The article says Bungie discusses the creation of the game...
I'd watch the video but gametrailers never works for me.

What's with changing your name to Griffin, Justin? Did you lose another bet on the podcast or do you just fancy the name? Or is it your brother? Or did I miss that there is another writer that has the same last name as you? lol.

Yay Mass Effect! I had to take some time off to sleep (who needs it right? At some point it just...happens), but now back to saving the Galaxy!

gonk @ Nov 18th 2007 2:06AM

License to ill @ Nov 18th 2007 9:25AM
Never owned original Xbox I was a PS2-Gcube owner last gen, so I never got the chance to play kotor...
gonk @ Nov 18th 2007 11:51AM

gonk @ Nov 18th 2007 11:52AM
oh fyi, the xbox kotor works on a 360. kotor 2 as well, but kotor 2 sucked because it was made by a different company

I can't believe that there hasn't been a dude so far who typed "I'd fap that" up to now. XD
Crummy @ Nov 18th 2007 4:19AM
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST! Mass Effect is an "Interactive Fiction" game!
> go north
Adsam3000 @ Nov 18th 2007 5:12AM
Yes, there is a LOT of talking in Mass Effect, but after just finishing the game, all i can say is, I can't wait to do it again. This game is truly amazing, with a lot of options to make sure that everyone who plays will have different sides to their stories.
The gunplay is also a lot of fun.

Yeah, if someone is interested SAM'S club from McAllen, Texas broke the street date and has lots of copies available, I didn't bought it since I was getting The Orange Box, which came empty -_-
Pics are available

Hmmmmm. The 360 is just looking sweeter and sweeter to me.
Oh my God, I'm buying a console just to play 2 games on it? 2 really flippin awesome games? The other is GTA IV by the way.
Possibly Call of Duty 4. Ok, maybe I'll give Halo a try.
