Ryder, you have new Spacebook notifications.

Ryder, PeeBee has poked you on Spacebook, would you like to poke her back?

Ryder, Liam wants to be your friend on Spacebook.

Ryder, Liam is now following you on twitter.

Ryder, Liam likes your tweet and 15 others.

Ryder, Liam is tagging you in his posts.

Ryder, Liam has sent you an invite to play farmville.

Ryder, PeeBee has changed her relationship status to its complicated.

These messages would have made excellent additions to crew interactions.

Added depth to romance arcs and realism to gameplay.

It would have added to immersion and allowed us to more fully let Liam know that we are not friends.

It also would have allowed us to hear more from sexy SAM and his english accent, who I imagine looks a lot like Peter Dinklage or Pearce Brosnan.


In a universe choc full of Mass Effect Relays, quantum entaglement, and billion year old space squids using cyclical logic; we should have social media interactions on the extranet beyond email. We should be able to comment on Tann and have our tweets wind up in the media causing a stir. Kerri should be alert to them in conversations and they should have consequences.


If you tweet about spender being kicked off the Nexus you should be forced to deal with the online aftermath and anti-establishment hashtags.

If you let the Krogan have the drive core you should have the option to make a spacebook post justifying your actions to angry Nexus citizens.

And by saving the Angara you could start a twitter feud with the Moshae.

The possibilities are literally endless and this should be in the next game when it realeases in 2186.


This is ZipZap Zip, sipping Ryncol.
