We thought last week would be the final BioBit...about that...Ken and Eric talk the leaks and chatter around Mass Effect: Universe, a game that sounded pretty cool. At the end, we talk about the future of Normandy FM now that BioWare is gone. Streaming now. soundcloud.com/normandyfm/b...
Let the record show I originally came in with a list of...57 moments I wanted to spotlight and then was bullied into cutting most of them because they want me to lose my sparkle. So be nice to me about the shit that's missing!!!
The 12 Best Moments In Mass Effect - Kotaku
As we mourn BioWare, let’s look back at some of the best moments from all four Mass Effect games

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.
What Does It Even Mean To ‘Save’ Mass Effect? - Kotaku
Thousands of fans are rallying around a campaign to save the series after BioWare's shutdown, but what does that look like?

Signing off this week by finally processing all the emotions I've been feeling since Wednesday. It's been nearly a decade since Andromeda, and after years of uncertainty as the BioWare was jerked around by EA, I finally have to grieve the series that made me who I am today.

I have spent years not being able to grieve Mass Effect, and now I finally have to

"We're getting reports that this week's BioBit might not actually be the last one." (we'll talk about all the leaks next week)
in which we mourn the loss of a studio, and voice our frustration with the future we worry we're headed for.

This show's been around eight years and somehow this is the first time I've had to bleep myself out.

Immediate reaction was "holy shit holy shit" Then I saw Liara and I cried again.
Kotaku@kotaku.com · 2w agoOne day after EA shut down BioWare, a trailer has begun circulating for what some claim was supposed to be Mass Effect 5, a game called Mass Effect: Universe starring Liara T'Soni and a new protagonist. https://kotaku.com/mass-effect-5-universe-leaked-trailer-liara-bioware-2000748858

Tried to keep mostly calm here. BioWare management shouldn't be let off the hook for its own part in the troubles of the past decade, but every story we hear about how EA mismanaged the studio is a reminder that this was entirely avoidable.
It Didn’t Have To End This Way - Kotaku
After years of strife and sabotage, BioWare is gone, and video games are lesser for it

I left so many versions of myself in BioWare save files. I am who I am and where I am today because of this studio's games. I have been bracing myself for this day for years, and I'm still gutted.
fucking awful. hard to find words. hope everyone involved can find somewhere new. god. yes we'll probably convene a BioBit tonight @normandyfm.bsky.social

In an effort to force myself to replay all of Kingdom Hearts before IV, Kotaku is launching Guiding Key, a year-long book club going through every Kingdom Hearts game. Join me! It'll be fun, I swear. If you're a critic or dev who wants to chat about a specific game for the series, get in touch!

Kingdom Hearts IV is around a year away, so what if we all played through the series again?

As the Evanuris' latest plans weaken the Veil, Solas is able to finally help us out in a more meaningful way than ever before, so we must ask ourselves if we can trust the Elven god of lies. Episode 10 of our Dragon Age: The Veilguard season is streaming now. soundcloud.com/normandyfm/d...

Are you worried about what Mass Effect 5 will look like for queer characters, if the Sims will maintain its queer customization and relationship options, do you plan to stop supporting those series altogether? Whatever you're feeling, I want to hear from you. RTs of the above appreciated.
