Blog entry posted by Gmandam, Jun 8, 2012.

(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 News:-

http://www.holdtheline.com/threads/ea-playtesting-parts-of-extended-cut-this-week.2108/
Evidence in the form of screenshots has arisen that EA may be play testing new DLC, Thoughts jumped that it might be the EC, but the truth is that it might not be so.

From the Gaming Talk section (A area where all other games can be discussed) :-

A thread on CDProket has appeared where people have discussed the differences between their reaction to the ending of the Witcher 2 and how Bioware handled it.

http://www.holdtheline.com/threads/is-the-addiction-to-mp-ruining-story-writing.1544/
A interesting discussion popped up discussing if the push for MP (which has seen games like Halo and Call of Duty skyrocket in terms of popularity and longevity) is the cause for some of the rushed parts of ME and how this may affect games in the future.

A note on one of the new sub forums, The thanix cannon:- At the behest of the users of the forum Volion added a new subsection, the Thanix cannon, This a area where if the situation is just so bad you can't help but rant and rave at it. User beware, It's unlikely to be as polite as other sub sections of the forum.

From the Decagon section (A general off topic area, mainly focused on the community):-

http://www.holdtheline.com/threads/community-tournament-idea.2216/
A lovey idea, Pioneered by DJayRaIDen, Myself and Goddess (Your friendly neighborhood cookie reaper) with assistance from Justin Simpson. Mainly focused on a community tournament on any and all current gen platforms and any games where we have enough takers.

http://www.holdtheline.com/threads/top-gear-u-k-thread.2059/
A thread celbrating those three idiots from Top gear in all their awesome failery. Well worth having a look at if you want a decent laugh (and haven't watched them on Dave enough times to burn them into your mind).

A thread detailing mans attempts to emulate our fiction, It's all about our missions to make space- the next frontier.
