You remember how last week when BioWare closed we said we might never have another BioBit again? Well, there were a whole lot of Mass Effect leaks immediately after, so we finally are sitting down to talk about them and hope that nothing major happens tomorrow. At the end, we talk about the potential future for Normandy FM after we finish Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Enjoy the show!
