Today Tom and Tim did a Special Podcast revolving around the Mass Effect Games! The Mass Effect 3 ending has caused nothing short of uproar and community rage...today Tom and Tim would like to not only address this animosity, but they would also like to explain the brilliance behind BioWare's story-telling. Both gentlemen believe the majority of players who played Mass Effect 3 not only overlooked the big picture of the ending but totally missed the main plot-points! This episode does contain numerous spoilers from Mass Effect, Mass Effect II, and Mass Effect III. If you plan on playing those game or if you're currently playing those games we do NOT suggest you listen to this show until you've finished! You have been warned!
