Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut DLC release date announced
Bioware announced on Friday that the hotly anticipated Extended Cut DLC for Mass Effect 3 will be releasing this Tuesday, June 26, for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, European PS3 owners will have to wait until the 4th of July. The DLC weighs in at a whopping 1.9 GB download’s worth of “additional cinematic sequences and epilogue scenes.” Bioware carefully noted that the DLC is only intended to clear up any confusion and provide more closure rather than completely changing the ending as so many fans demanded. Bioware community manager Jessica Merizan interviewed lead writer Mac Walters and executive producer Casey Hudson in a podcast posted on the official Bioware website.

Fez patch causes huge problems, pulled from XBL
A patch for the XBLA game Fez aimed to fix a large number of bugs ended up causing one big one this past Friday. Developer Polytron posted on their blog saying, “There is an issue that seems fairly widespread where the save file can be seen as corrupted by the game after installing the patch. We’re floored that this wasn’t found in testing.” Not long after, another post followed explaining that Microsoft had removed the patch from Xbox Live and new users would not be affected. Polytron later said that they were hard at work to fix things for everyone affected.

Valve and Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim team up
Adult Swim posted a promo page on their website teasing some kind of mixing of their peanut butter and Valve’s chocolate to be revealed next week, amid a roster picturing the Team Fortress 2 lineup. Signing up for email updates redirects to an image of the game’s Pyro class, which is the only character in the game to currently lack one of the “Meet the X” videos from Valve. Does this mean we could be getting an entire TV show’s worth of that special Valve video magic? We’ll find out next week, maybe, it probably won’t be Half Life 3 though.
