The hit BioWare video game franchise Mass Effect and the popular comedy Arrested Development are not two entertainment titles you’re likely to hear mentioned in the same sentence very often, and yet here the two meet.

This short video is simply the familiar opening of Arrested Development, but instead of the usual cast rundown it’s some of the faces of characters from the Mass Effect universe.

You can check out the video below.

It’s not much—in fact it’s almost nothing at all—but if you’re dying for just a tiny peek at the future of BioWare’s Mass Effect franchise, you may want to see these.

On this, N7 Day (a day dedicated to the release of the original game in the series), many were hard at work on Mass Effect 4…or whatever it will ultimately be called. But on this day, they decided to share with us some of the work they were doing via tweeted images. Some character design, hard-to-see new enemies, level design, and even one ultra-tease peek at the game being played.

You can see the images below!

We’ve known for a long while now that Mass Effect 3 was to end the Commander Shepard storyline, and that Mass Effect 4, whenever it might actually arrive, would start something new. This is understandable; three games with the same main character is enough and they want to move on to fresh new things.

But now comes word that the next game, which will likely start another trilogy story arc, will not only not have Commander Shepard, but that it will likely not have anything to do with any of Shepard’s companions or the events of the original trilogy at all.

Each and every week, I, “The Famous Cock” Henchman21, and “The Mermaid” Empress Eve read a lot of comics. Seriously you guys, a lot of comics. Maybe too many comics. I mean, it is possible”¦ theoretically. Naturally, we look forward to some more than others. I mean, who doesn’t? So, let’s take a look into the depths of our pull lists, grab some comics, and we’ll let YOU know what the top books to look forward to are for the week of August 28, 2013. Single issues and trades, they’re all here.

Since we took last week off, we’re here to drop an extra-sized version of the list this time. Sadly, the list contains one series that is nearly ending, and one series that is going to be significantly changing due to a switch in the creative team. But never fear, we’ve got plenty of other brilliant series to point you towards, including one issue that is a great starting point for one of my favorite titles. So, no time to sleep around, it’s time to wake up to The GoD List!

In Mass Effect: Foundation #2, we are brought through a day at the citadel. Wrex and Rasa separately are trying to track down Mr. Fist. With Rasa’s purpose to delay Wrex, whose aim is to kill Mr. Fist. Wrex though is having fun fighting through the “distractions” and by distractions, I mean thugs and hired killers.

The writing in this issue is great and flows amazingly well. The story is easy to follow, and not particularly long. This is a much more engaging story than the first issue.
