Hey sorry for the delay, but better late than never right? Anyway this week we have plenty of news, the GTTV episode featuring Mass Effect 3, and we say goodbye to Jesse Huston who has left Bioware to pursue other interests.

Casey Hudson: Executive Producer of Mass Effect 3(@CaseyDHudson)
Nothing

Patrick Weekes: Writer at Bioware(@patrickweekes)
1. Snipers are generally less effective versus shields
2. Insanity difficulty will be harder than it was in mass Effect 2, because the enemies will use advanced tactics to try to stop you.
3. However, there will be far less “cheap deaths”
4. The game is also significantly easier on the easiest difficulty when compared to Mass Effect 2
5. Veteran in Mass Effect 3 is approximately equivalent to Insanity in Mass Effect, except that not every enemy is protected by armor/shields
6. Basnhees, “reaperized” Asari are apparently very diffcult to kill. [Though I haven't played the game, obviously, they appear to work in a somewhat similar manner to the witch form Left 4 Dead. However, I could be completely wrong and I usually am so take that as you will.]

Jesse Houston: Producer of ME3(@gtez)
He has left Bioware, but personally I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
