Having the possibility of different Mass Effect endings is one of the big draws of this series, as the decisions you make during your journey will affect how the storyline concludes. Although this is partly based on whether you followed a mainly good (Paragon) or bad (Renegade) path, there are also some specific choices when you reach the finale that directly impact which outcome you'll get. If you're starting the Mass Effect Legendary Edition from the beginning then it pays to know what resolutions you can work towards, especially as this result carries over to the sequel and therefore has a longer term impact.As we said before, the Paragon or Renegade groundwork you lay as you progress through the game will have an effect on the outcome to a degree.

Have you ever looked at your energy bill and wondered where those painful price hikes are coming from? The answer may lie with that gaming console sat beneath your TV. These machines have a pretty poor track record when it comes to energy usage, with annual emissions eclipsing that of small nations, and it seems as though the next generation of consoles don't fare much better.A new report from the National Resources Defence Council found that the PS5 and Xbox Series X draw between 160 and 200 watts of electricity per hour when playing current games, marking a significant uptick on the energy usage of their predecessors. This might sound strange, given Microsoft and Sony's much publicised commitments to making its new consoles more sustainable, but Noah Horowitz, director of NRDC’s Center for Energy Efficiency Standards, believes both companies can and should do more to live up to those promises."Game consoles around the world consume well over a billion dollar worth of … [Read more...] about Why climate scientists think the PS5 and Xbox Series X are still too much of an energy drain
