I feel like the Doritos and Mountain Dew brands are not truly representative of today's gaming population anymore. Gamers should start synergizing their market potential with up-and-comers like Gorilla Mind® Smooth™

Given that it's actually a decent author and Nexus Uprising was definitely a much better read than any of the other licensed books I'm willing to give it a shot. Lol if they all die in transit though, a fitting end to Mass Effect indeed.

So, I'm assuming that they had multi-stage DLC plans for ME:A to bring in the quarian Ark, more endgame plot reveal or whatever dangling plot threads are in the game, and since the game tanked so hard they had to cancel everything in development and farm out the already written and storyboarded material to whoever they could find to work for a pittance.

I played Magic The Gathering xbox 360 game while having a warm turkey and havarti sandwich, and it was pretty good despite microtransactions. The game I mean. Sandwich was good too no qualifiers.

Played to the song of course. This also the only piece of new audio in the DLC; the drell have had their vocal cords removed, the hanar have taken a vow of silence, and all of Ryder’s dialogue assembled from voice files from the main game.

Sadly, BioWare’s budget only allows them to license the cover by MUSED- the UK’s number one Muse tribute band.

It's an Ark specifically for all the non-standard species with specific living conditions... but there'll still be a human central cast of course.

Minor sidenote, but the whole premise of an Ark full of people with specific environmental requirements going to the other galaxy is just dumb. Their needs are waaaaay off everyone elses and some only evolved on unique worlds like Rannoch with no insect life, or a specific high-pressure atmosphere of toxic gasses (ie; the Volus). Nevermind the Quarians at-large having a hosed-up immune response to anything in the Milky Way Galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy's entire galactic biosphere would be a petri dish of pure death to them.
