Tell Me About Your Emotional Connection to Mass Effect

Nick's looking for your answers.

Will gamers ever grow up? Are we in need of a revolution?

Once again we heroes from our lofty position up here in the clouds cast judgment upon you lowly mortals. This week we discuss why the video game community often makes us ashamed to be gamers.
