Presidents Play Mass Effect 1 Episode 7
Added 2025-10-28 20:26:36 +0000 UTCRemember when 40 minutes was a long episode?
Looking back, this might be an easy lock for top 10 episodes of the series.
I feel like this is the first time I got a good feel for how the episodes would flow, and it's definitely when I started getting more serious about looking into the cut content of Mass Effect. I especially enjoyed showing off some of the alternative outcomes at Port Hanshan.
I remember being slightly worried about the blood bath that would occur from Donald playing Noveria, but I said "Fuck it", basically everyone goes about things the usual way, Donald is supposed to be Renegade after all. Rest in Peace Gianna.
The slow build up to the ultimate events on Virmire is still one of my favorite things in the series as well.

oh and one more thing. 3:05 Crouching in og me1 used to increase accuracy with weapons your character wasn't proficient for example biotic and shotguns. The aim circle got smaller when crounching

2025-10-30 03:07:49 +0000 UTCWhile I'm glad to be back as a subscriber after the mess up with my banking, but I was curious if you're taking a break now that you've finished the trilogy. I've loved every moment of this series, but with no video on the channel for close to a month I was curious as to what is next and what the plan is? I can't wait for anything else you put out since this series is what I listen to when I go to sleep โค

2025-10-30 03:06:18 +0000 UTCI'd agree that this episode is a top 10ish. It flows well, great balance between dialog and combat, and the bloodbath was something I hadn't seen before (or knew about the Krogans jumping you). Does help that Noveria is a top mission between all 3 games. Personal highlight - the way Donald says "To the Hotlabs!"

2025-10-28 22:43:59 +0000 UTCThis episode to the end of ME1 is literally nonstop peak. I also think the renegade approach was a smart decision to keep the lets play fresh, even for people familiar with the games. The focus on Benezia's chest from Donald is also hilarious. Every group has that one degen.

2025-10-28 22:03:50 +0000 UTCDonaldโs bloodbath here was top tier. Unrelated, you got me to buy Revelation and Ascension. Finished both and will probably buy Retribution shortly

2025-10-28 21:55:31 +0000 UTCThe Virmire plot build and resolution has to be my favorite thing in the whole series. Its well foreshadowed and brings a lot of depth to both Donald & Joe who showcase traits we wouldn't expect at first glance. I also really like how the different presidents personalities and decision making allow us to see rarely seen scenes like the death of Gianna.
