A terrible day for the videogame industry.
BioWare made Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age II and Mass Effect 1-3 in one console generation. Between 2007-2012. Every game incredible.
How do you take one of the most talented, disciplined and proven entertainment studios on the planet and completely shutter them in less than 15 years after a run like that?
BioWare's brands and the studio's well earned respect, which had been a magnet for generations of talented game creators, were incalculably valuable.
Reduced to bullet points on a balance sheet.
Near sighted. Unbelievable. Irreplaceable.
Unforgivable.

At $23,500, this 1991 Cadillac Brougham's massive size and outrageously red interior make deciding whether it's a bargain complicated.

The mouse is a key part of their show. Not for sale, but you can get something comparable at the prize counter.
I went to chuck e cheese and they wouldn’t let me take the mouse home wtf @ChuckECheese????????
Don’t know, but Ultra Magnus was absolutely the first new Transformer I received after the movie came out. Never got Hot Rod 🤔
He just looked cool.

The toy industry is taking over #NYCC.
