If you’ll remember, when Mass Effect 2 made the jump to the PS3, the game featured a comic book-style summation of the key events in the first game, complete with options for the player to make the critical choices throughout the game.

Gates couldn’t help but try to promote Microsoft’s Surface RT and Pro tablets, except these remarks quite literally appeared to have come out of nowhere – especially given that there are quite a few aspects where the Microsoft tablets are lagging behind their competition.
