Unraveling Tech Tales

The Mass Effect universe is as fleshed out sci-fi settings as any of the big franchises from movies, TV, or literature. When Bioware had finished making one of the best Star Wars RPGs ever, a feet that could only be followed by Obsidian, they decided they wanted to make another sci-fi game, with all the deep law of Star Wars, but none of the constraints associated with taking on an existing IP. And so, Mass Effect was born. I played through Mass Effect 2 & 3 base games with no DLC when they came out on the 360 and thought they were some of the best experiences on the platform. As I personally think the 360 is one of the best consoles of all time, that puts them up there as S tier games. I tried to go back and play Mass Effect 1 and 1 could not get on with it. The shooting was awful, the companions were useless, and a lot of the level design was very poor. When I heard in 2021 that the Mass Effect trilogy was getting a re-release, where they had gone back over Mass Effect 1 to fix a lot of all the problems, and that it would come with all the DLC for all 3 games...well here we are. Time to livestream the whole damn lot....This is going to be a long series. https://cryonoir.com/ https://www.facebook.com/CryoNoir/ http://instagram.com/_CryoNoir_/ https://www.patreon.com/CryoNoir RIG: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X EVGA RTX 3080 32Gb DDR4 Windows 11 (ew) ViewSonic Elite XG270QG 1440p G-SYNC

It's been many many year since I last played Peggle. This game was my most played game for an entire year back in the mid 2000s. Let's see if I've still got it... https://cryonoir.com/ https://www.facebook.com/CryoNoir/ http://instagram.com/_CryoNoir_/ https://www.patreon.com/CryoNoir Check out Wifeys cosy gaming channel https://www.youtube.com/@_poppyplays_ RIG: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X EVGA RTX 3080 32Gb DDR4 Windows 11 (ew) ViewSonic Elite XG270QG 1440p G-SYNC

Poly Bridge has been around for nearly a decade now and I've seen it played by quite a few channels, but I've never played it before. It looks like they're on Poly Bridge 3 now, but PB1 was on sale for 79p on Steam so the Friday night madness stream seems like as good a time as ever. https://cryonoir.com/ https://www.facebook.com/CryoNoir/ http://instagram.com/_CryoNoir_/ https://www.patreon.com/CryoNoir Check out Wifeys cosy gaming channel https://www.youtube.com/@_poppyplays_ RIG: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X EVGA RTX 3080 32Gb DDR4 Windows 11 (ew) ViewSonic Elite XG270QG 1440p G-SYNC

I've often been interested in the Mafia games as they are often given the probably inaccurate moniker of "GTA Clone", along with Saints Row and Just Cause. They all brought something different to the party, trying to separate themselves from the progenitor open world, 3rd person, crime and carnage simulator. The Mafia games brought a historical setting, and obvious Italian/Sicilian crime family angle. The original Mafia game came out on the PS2 and the OG XBox in 2002, but the Definitive Edition came out in 2020 and apparently rounded of some of the sharp edges of the original....so lets give it a go!! https://cryonoir.com/ https://www.facebook.com/CryoNoir/ http://instagram.com/_CryoNoir_/ http://twitter.com/CryoNoirhttps://cryonoir.com/ https://www.patreon.com/CryoNoir RIG: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X EVGA RTX 3080 32Gb DDR4 Windows 11 (ew) ViewSonic Elite XG270QG 1440p G-SYNC

This is NOT a tutorial!!! It's more a vlog recording the experience of a tubby Yorkshireman tinkering with stuff he probably shouldn’t do. Simon has as broken controller, I have an unhealthy urge to take things apart… Simon likes old computers. I like old computers. There’s a museum of old computers… It’s a Simon video. https://cryonoir.com/ https://www.facebook.com/CryoNoir/ http://instagram.com/_CryoNoir_/ https://www.patreon.com/CryoNoir Check out Wifeys cosy gaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/@_poppyplays_ North West Computer Museum: https://www.nwcomputermuseum.org.uk/
