Recently there has been a dearth of ideas in the war room. Now there are a number of reasons for this, ranging from being tired of having to push a issue over a 3 month period, to not being able to see a way of accomplishing the goal of stopping bias media, always online DRM and abusive DLC practices. All of these are massive issues, and when you look at them you struggle to think how the...

EULAs are everywhere in gaming. Most PC games will have them attached, a lot of other games don't show them as well but are contained in the booklets or PDF's you get with the game. Sufficed to say, if you game you deal with them. However, often enough people (I include myself in this) will not read them. Even though they essentially dictate what you can and can't do with your games (A concept...

It's been a busy day today, I've been out and about in the Olympic park watching the hockey (Yeah I know, it was all I could get). It was a really good experience, of note was the trains, the size of the park,the surfaces and finally the food. The trains were of a new variety, ones that were really quick, almost 200 mph. These trains so far only service the greater area of london and maybe...

As part two of a possible 3 part series I offer greater context, clarity and just generally more information on why I feel like it's time to let me3 die it's death and leave it be. Don't bother asking about why this wasn't in the first one because your entitled whiners and you should just be happy that your getting a second part at all. In the words of EDI "That was a joke". So on with the meat...

The waiting time is over and now we have the EC, the reactions have been varied but can, broadly speaking, be put into 3 categories: I loved it, I hated it and I don't care. As a note I'm a sub group of "I don't care" where it was okish as a DLC but honestly not good enough. So yeah, for me Mass Effect is over, sure some issues were solved, some issues were created and others ignored...

Even now time ticks down to the EC, for me personally it's 9 hours away at time of writing. However if you'd paid attention you'll notice a new atmosphere, one of trepidation,fear,hope,happiness,hate and sadness all rolled together. Everyone can tell now, that after that EC things are going to change and they are going to change rapidly. So what's the purpose of this blog I here you ask, well...

(Not all threads will be from this week and some will be forum generalizations and I honestly don't care if this is redundant) From Mass Effect 3 General:- http://www.holdtheline.com/threads/warning-epic-lolthread-in-progress.1424/ A thread on mass effect humor, it's sure to lift your spirits after a long day of hating the ending....

Welp there seems to be a few rather dangerous trends going on in gamerdom recently and many of them can be seen in Mass effect 3. Below I will attempt to record some of the ones I've seen (I'd like it very much like it if I've missed a trend if you could post a comment). 1.) The constant Beta: This trend is related to the idea of sending out a product that , ten years ago would still be in...

Disclaimer : This represents my own opinions and not those of the site/staff or admins who manage the website. By this point almost everyone should know about the new "Extended cut" DLC that Bioware is releasing. Along side this Bioware has also released a new Mp DLC called the resurgence pack. Both are bad idea's but I'm going to focus on why the endings need to be rewritten as compared to...

We this is my first time actually using a blog so lets see how it goes. The issue I will be commenting upon will be the interview and the journalist who proposed it. FAIR WARNING THIS IS MY OWN OPINION AND NOT OF THIS WEBSITE OR THAT OF THE RETAKEME3 GROUP. Ok now that's out of the way lets continue on. During the course of the weekend the Facebook group officially declared this forum a...
