The Child's play is certainly a brilliant idea. With all the bitterness around the game it's the only thing that comforts me seeing the unity it brought and it will actually end up good in any way.

This.
Even if in the end, it doesn't change the ending, we'll know that we have really done a lot to change people's lives. Look at how much support we've gained, how much money we've raised for a great cause. All for the love of the game. And I thought certain moments in ME3 had me tearing up, this is getting me really emotional.

It makes me feel like we can honestly change something.
Funny, I've always thought that was the charm of Mass Effect from the beginning. It made you feel like your decisions made a difference. Now look at how far that feeling has come.

Is it always this busy around here?

You bet, it is almost too much to keep up with, but that is what we need. Keep on hold'n that line.

Awesome. I'm feeling a bit dizzy trying to keep up with everything!

At game release time things are pretty active, but generally it's people arguing over more trivial things like  LI stuff.....

Whenever I'm here, yeah...hard to keep up, but it's for a greater cause. Gotta hold the line:P

Nope. Just last week or so.

I'm taking off too... A friend of mine is about to finish ME3, and he's going to need moral support. I did forewarn him that the ending would crush his soul, but I don't think he understands how severely...

I'm in the same boat. I've warned her not to chuck it out of the window, just in case. She hasn't heard any of the controversey, so I haven't forewarned her on anything other than not throwing it out of the window

No need to? Fine…

[Trunks Bordare]

Checking in after a long day at work. You guys are awesome. Over 1000 pages and going strong and closing in on $9000 for child's play. No one could have ever predicted that. Way to go BSN! Let's keep holding the line.

What's the Child's Play total at now? Mine's stuck at $7145.

Keeping up with this has been simply inspiring. Looks like we're actually making progress, and if not, then we've at least done good on the charity drive. (To which I'm contributing once the next billing cycle on my card starts)

Just gotta keep on going. Hold the line my brothers (and sisters) in arms. Keelah Se'lai.

$8474, as far as I can tell. I had to open the page in IE. I don;t think Firefox likes it much.

Its at 8830 

If we break $10,000 as seems to be quite possible, that'll be awesome.

Sir, you're lucky there are much bigger fish to fry or you'd be feeling the consequences for what was almost conceivably a slam on Tali. She is NOT trivial.

Kidding, of course. Maybe..

[jerobolod]

Wow, lots of replies! Kind of ironic I guess, considering my question!

Also the Child's Play thing makes me feel really good about being here. Something really bad happened to all of us and it has been turned into this powerful force for good. That's awesome.

Too bad I'm jobless and spent all my spare cash this month on...well...you know....

[Matt125]

Oh no.

I just finished my first playthrough, after deliberately avoiding the internet so as not to be spoiled. I had no idea what would happen. I had heard about a petition to change 'the ending' but didn't care about it because, Bioware being Bioware, there would be different endings depending on your choices. I always complete all the missions and take care of my squadmates, I was sure I'd be able to defeat the Reapers, have a big party with friends old and new, and then take a holiday with Liara somewhere warm and peaceful.

Boy was I wrong. I didn't expect the condescending little speech from the Reaper Boy for a start. Harbinger, maybe. One last attempt to intimidate me before I sent the Reapers to hell. But not some magical boy who, Battlestar Galactica-style, blames organic life for the machines going psycho. Then the Deus Ex: Human Revolution style 'press a button to get an ending'. What the hell? Wasn't I playing Mass Effect? Was this made by Bioware? It is like they threw everything out the window. What happened to the consequences for all the choices I had made?

I stayed loyal to the whole series plotline (destroy the Reapers) and chose that option. Seeing Shepard engulfed in a fireball instead of leaping onto a waiting Normandy like in ME2 was a little upsetting, then finding out the Normandy was for no reason at all flying through a Mass Relay (with the Prothean guy on board! What the hell, he was on Earth!) and crash landing on some alien planet. WHY DID THEY DO THIS? They said ME3 would be the end of Shepard's saga. What, are they doing a Mass Effect 4: Shepard's Crew now?

I don't know any more, it seems like a complete mess and a betrayal of the series and the fans. Dragon Age II was pretty bad in how the ending was pretty much the same no matter how you played, but at least it had a resolution with the promise of more to come. Mass Effect 3... no resolution (at least, none which paid respect to the established continuity), no more to come (so what if you hear Shepard take a gasp of breath? Bioware have told us ITS OVER. I think they put that in just to rub salt into the wound).

[Eadric]

I just want to add my agreement with the sentiment of this thread. I finally finished the game last night and sat there blinking at my computer screen, wondering about all the things that didn't make sense. Things such as my LI stepping off the Normandy after being on Earth with me during the fighting. I find myself hoping that either Shepard never actually did make it onto the Citadel and that everything that happened after the blast from Sovereign (It was Sovereign, right?) was in Shepard's head, or that there is more to come. A little more closure at the very least would be nice. Keep it up and hold the line.

I've got several friends who are waiting on me to give them the go ahead to buy the game lol.. I was told this morning that "I don't think I've ever seen you this angry about something.. it's scary, I wouldn't want to be the target of that passion" ... it is rather out of place for me haha and it gave me a bit of pause, and a chuckle lol.

So, hey, guys? The Charity amount? This is an accurate description right now:

Latest Giant Bombcast is out, with the description reading "Loads of Mass Effect 3 talk." Wonder if they'll be chatting about the ending controversy.

Wasn't the first Kotaku article against us and in favor of Bioware???

Did they change their minds?

I think the one thing that keeps me laughing through this whole thing is the ME references... I gotta say I love it.
