Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is tantalisingly close, and whether it’s your first time with the trilogy or you’re a diehard fan, there’s a lot of lore to digest. We’ve put together a series to catch you up to speed on the biggest and most important stories in the Mass Effect universe that happen before the first game, so you can jump into the Legendary Edition knowing all the whos, whats, and wheres in the Milky Way.

In the video above, Lucy takes you through the conflict between the Geth and the Quarians. At the start of Mass Effect, the Quarians are a nomadic tribe living on board a flotilla of ships, drifting from one place to the next, with no home. The Geth are threatening the peace of the galaxy, and are formidable foes for Shepard and their squad. But it wasn’t always that way. What lead the Geth to turn on their creators, and what outcome does the Geth War have on the galaxy? Lucy delves into all this and more.

We have weekly Mass Effect lore videos up on the channel right now, so subscribe at youtube.com/GameSpot to get up to speed. Mass Effect: Legendary Edition launches on May 14 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

If you’re looking to expand your Nintendo Switch game collection–or just can’t find a PS5 or Xbox Series X yet–then Walmart has just what you need right now. The store is currently selling a whole bunch of Nintendo Switch games at deeply discounted prices, and many of them are acclaimed first-party exclusives like Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

The aforementioned Super Mario Odyssey is just $40 right now with free pickup or two-day delivery, and the same options are available on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for $48. Both are absolutely essential for any Nintendo Switch owner, so it’s a great time to buy them if you haven’t already.

The upgraded games New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury are on sale for $40 and $50, respectively. Note that for the latter game and some of the others included in the sale, you have to add them to your cart before the sale price will appear. They offer very different experiences, with New Super Maro Bros. U Deluxe playing like a classic 2D Mario game while Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is a course-based 3D platformer that also includes a free-roaming bonus game.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is $50 and you’re going to want it for any get-togethers you may have after your family and friends have been fully vaccinated. And if you’re still planning on spending a lot of time alone and need a game that can make it fly by, then Fire Emblem: Three Houses at $40 is a perfect choice. The turn-based role-playing game is one of the best in the series, and it includes essentially three campaigns to make replaying it worthwhile.

Anyone who has followed the labor market, even casually, over the last 20 years knows that jobs related to computer programming are perennially among the most sought after. As our society shifts ever more to complete reliance on computers, so do we shift towards reliance on the people with the skills to program them. This dependence makes learning to code a great decision even for those who don’t want to pursue it professionally. Not to mention, coding is practically a necessity if you want to work at a game studio.

While it is a great idea to learn to code, learning computer languages can get expensive. Some students go for four-year degrees to learn, others opt toward boot camps which can still cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Thankfully, there are e-learning options like The Premium Learn to Code 2021 Certification Bundle that can teach you all you need to know without breaking the bank. This bundle contains 27 distinct courses, combining for over 270 hours of instruction. Best of all, it’s currently available for only $60. The combined value of all 27 courses is $4,056 (that’s a savings of 98%).

The Learn to Code bundle features lessons taught by top-rated computer science and coding instructors like Rob Percival, Joseph Delgadillo, and Nick Walter, each with thousands — and in some cases, hundreds of thousands — of reviews. These courses teach important skills that students will actually use like Python, Javascript, C++, and machine learning. You’ll also find courses on Java interview questions and how to get a job as a web developer.

With thousands of enrollees already on this bundle and over 50,000 enrolled in 2020, students love this bundle for its in-depth look at coding and data science, and its approachable price tag. Satisfy that itch to learn more about data science and computer programming, or bolster your resume with a deeper understanding of computer languages with the Learn to Code 2021 Certification Bundle, on sale today for $60.
