It’s the first week since the Nintendo 3DS release, and the Japanese and outside importers alike will soon enjoy the freedom of glasses-free, high quality 3D entertainment.

Pretend it’s Wednesday.

Got it? Great!

Never mind that the last 24 hours have hardly been enough time to get through a single playthrough, let alone multiple you may need to let the whole story seep into your pores. This author and videographer has (obviously) had significantly more time to digest everything that the first two Mass Effects have had to offer in order to bring you this predictions video!

Keep watching this space for our next KEEP PLAYING video about Mass Effect 2’s many, MANY romance options! And feel free to make your own predictions below.

This time I talk about DJ Cutman’s new album, a (free) disc of podcasts, and a Famicom game I’ve been trying to track down for a while!
