Well, that would at least explain the Reapers

BioWare’s final(?) DLC package for Mass Effect 2 was teased on the game’s Facebook page yesterday, with a single screenshot captioned with the word “Arrived”. The DLC’s name, Arrival, was hinted at in the PS3 version of the game late last month, and what little evidence has been found suggests that it probably concerns itself with the Reapers.

Which, as I say, would certainly explain how the damn things end up razing Earth in Mass Effect 3. Which, by the way, can’t get here soon enough.

Bon Jovi thinks that Apple has killed the magical experience of buying records…

…and “of taking your allowance money and making a decision based on the jacket, not knowing what the record sounded like, and looking at a couple of still pictures and imagining it.” Which, granted, is probably all that Bon Jovi had going for him during his heyday. (I know that I, at least, can count on one finger the number of Bon Jovi tracks I’d actually be willing to pay money for.)

Cardreaders…there’s an (Android) app for that!
