Nick, Chip, and Kurabara are back to talk about their experiences playing Mass Effect 2 in the Mass Effect Legendary Edition. This week, they begin by talking about the Normandy Crash Site side quest. They talk about placing the monument, collecting the dog tags, and the brief glimpse at a redemption arc for XO Pressley, who was one of the more xenophobic members of the Normandy crew.

Next, the guys get into the mission on Horizon. They immediately jump into the aftermath of meeting their old crewmate. For Chip, it was Ashley, who was a bit standoffish. Nick talks about a playthrough where Ashley's rejection led him to Miranda, which leads to a discussion about how high maintenance Miranda might be. Kurabara reveals some personal information. Next, they talk about Kaiden, who Kurabara and Nick got to meet. They talk about how he quickly takes offense at Shepard not having reached out sooner, and Nick is amazed because Kaiden is now just as much an a--hole as Carth from Knights of the Old Republic. They also talk about the Illusive Man using his smoking as a way to control the conversation and praise Martin Sheen's acting. They also consider Cerberus role in manipulating events on Horizon. Next, they discuss Harbinger and how effective a villain he is. They also talk about the creepy Collector constructs and how terrifying it must be to be paralyzed and abducted by the Collectors. Finally, they evaluate the final firefight over the transmitter.

Finally, they talk about the side quest where you lead the mech to get platinum using power cells, and praise how the side quests in Mass Effect 2 all feel varied and not cookie cutter.

Crashtag and StaticGorilla are back with another episode of Double Tap. Starting lightly in the Fighter's Corner, Tekken 7's new update on steam removes DRM, Arcsys will be at AnimeNYC, and Nickelodeon All Stars Brawl will be receiving a large patch in the near future. In the Randoms of the FGC, there is some drama going on yet again, Harada gets a bit more personal in another episode of Harada's Bar, Daigo has Game Gum and we pop for nostalgia with a look into fighting game anniversaries. Finally, we complete the the show with an interesting pallette swap of Thanos in Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3.

Nick, Rei, and Harv are back to talk about their experiences playing World of Warcraft! First, Rei talks about how Order of Corrupted Souls has been struggling with its membership, and how she wound up finding another guild that was also struggling with its roster so they are working together to take on Heroic Sanctum of Domination. Rei talks about the challenges of the two guilds getting along, with how the guild leaders have different ways of sharing criticism with their members, and making sure that no one is offended by how the other guild handles their business. She also talks about how people need to be responsible for learning the raids and being a competent member of the guild. Harv talks about how he's been playing other MMO's but still enjoys WoW and even wound up fishing in WoW while watching a fishing stream from New World. Harv also talks about running mythic+ and tells a story about a teammate who once stopped a Mythic+ run so that they could eat a ham sandwich.

Next, Nick starts the Patch 9.1.5 quiz. He asks about when the Mage tower will be available, switching covenants, the Maw introduction, Island Expeditions, Legacy Loot Rules, starter gear, achivements (including Mechagon which Nick is very invested in), Allied Race customization, weather effects, and Legion Timewalking. Let us know how you do taking the Patch 9.1.5 quiz!

Nick also runs through episode #96 where they talked about running Antorus and broke down the mechanics of each of the fights.

On this episode, we get to address the absolute truckload of features on the newly announced map, Storm Point! With Prowler nests, spider eggs, and flyers all across the area, the biggest Apex map yet, with a total of 17 named locations promises to be a masterclass in level design, featuring a wide variety of diverse locations, from tropical island hopping to giant mountain slides that allow you to play higher than previous maps! There's a ton to discuss, so let's dive in!

Nick is here for a short episode since real life prevented a proper episode. First, Nick talks about his and Katie's recent appearance on Live, Laugh, Lore #30, so go check that out! Then, he talks about Hearthstone Mercenaries, and how he can't stop playing it but he doesn't know why. They he gets into how Hearthstone has managed to introduce new characters and have them fit within the Warcraft lore and compares that to how WoW has done introducing Yrel and Zappy Boi, usually introducing a character and then leaving them behind after the expansion.

We're so close to Endwalker release! We talk about the media tour, what we are and are not spoiling, and to be honest there's a lot of discussion of housing again. Except this time most of the housing talk is relating to real life home shopping and buying, and there's not so much of Pan complaining. We all consumed different bits of the great media tour interviews and videos and we have a lot of thoughts about them. Maybe next time we'll even get invited?

Nick, Chip, and Kurabara are back to talk about their experiences playing through Mass Effect 2! This week, they start by talking about the mission to get the Convict, better known as Jack. They talk about how Jack was established as a biotic powerhouse based on other character reactions to her, and then also how they were affected by the conditions of the prison ship they were getting her from. They talk about her tough exterior and Kurabara compares her to people he knows. Chip mentions the way the game primes you to expect Jack to be male, and also talks about how Miranda and Jack do not get along. Kurabara mentions that Grunt liked her, and Nick starts speculating on how Jack and Grunt could have played each other, and leaned into each other's worse impulses. They talk about how closed and guarded she is. They also talk about how they don't like her costume design. Then, they get on a rant about friendships on the Normandy, and talk about how Garrus and Zaeed should be buddies. Kura mentions that Jack was based off Jack from Chronicles of Riddick. Lastly, they talk about their impressions of the betrayal by the Warden on Purgatory.

Next, they head to the Citadel to see how things have changed since Sovereign's attack. Things kick off with their encounter with Kasumi Goto through a hacked advertisement. Then, they head into the Citadel but have to get through C-Sec where they meet Captain Bailey who is running the entrance station. Chip is excited that he's played by Michael Hogan of Battlestar Gallactica fame. They talk about how he is a sign that humans have taken over C-Sec and run much of it, having replaced the Turians from Mass Effect 1. Then, they head up to meet Anderson and talk about how good it was to see him again. They also get to meet with the Council briefly, and share their disappointment that the Council is still very dismissive of Shepard. Then, Udina returns and they talk about his character.

Next, they discuss the layout of the Zakera Ward and how cramped it is compared to the Presidium and Wards from Mass Effect 1. They also discuss how the keepers are still creepy. Chip talks about how disappointing the Citadel is this time around. Nick talks about how the Citadel has a personality and qualifies as an old friend to visit in the sequel. They also talk about how Shepard can negotiate with the vendors for discounts at the kiosks. They also talk about some of the minor characters that return on this Citadel, like the Petrovskys, now with child!

They discuss some of the side quests available on the Citadel. First, there is a Volus and Quarian arguing about a missing credit chit. Shepard can intervene and prove the Quarian innocent and get her out of trouble. Nick also wonders about how Shepard gets so much money from random computers. They also talk about getting the fine ingredients for the chef to prepare a meal. Also, Shepard receives emails from other Citadel characters such as Sha'ira and Chorban. They also talk about the Krogans that want to try the fish from the Presidium, and how to get them fish without returning to the Presidium.
