Mass Affection

An abject failure of story-telling, in every possible way. Arrival [https://cdn.massaffection.com/file/massaffection/arrival.jpg] Jaimie makes bad puns and does a mean Kasumi impression. Chris rants about the horrible, no good, very bad ethics on display here. Both of them rant about the bad writing and the putting-the-characters-on-rails decisions the story team made. …but hey, at least there's a Hackett appearance?

Thor-Collector bug time! (This is a really weird crossover…) Horizon [https://cdn.massaffection.com/file/massaffection/horizon.jpg] In which we meet and fight Collectors, argue with a guy in a shed, and argue with Kaidan. Also, Chris cannot talk to save his life in this episode, and Jaimie is reveling in it.

Recruiting “The Convict”—or, Jaimie is sleepy and this mission was not well-written.

We talk about how Kasumi is bad at parties but is creepily good at knowing Shepard's measurements, and also about a gunfight and the problems with hoods.
