Yes, thankfully, but not through the choice of its readers, I can assure you.


My only contact to it is from Good Omens... and a certain English class I had to take... 4-5 years ago, and it was an interesting experience indeed. Yes, they made me read the News of the World with an educational purpose. A sole fact that might just destroy the good name of Finnish education all over the world. :whistle:

But enough of off-topic *insert some vague the ending joke here*

To who? Me? Ah I couldn't care less, I've had people poking fun at me ever since elementary school, when all the guys would tease me for kissing another girl, then the girls would mess with me for being so much like a guy.... I swear if I ever see the color pink on one of my pieces of clothing I'm going to burn it.... Gah I'm off topic... again! >.< Just PM the joke, if its that offensive for the thread.
Good point that... and know she finds it amusing to lie in the middle of my back, and she starting to sleep.... damn cat can sleep where ever she wants... :pinched:


My mind is too dirty, I think I know the joke... :P

Got to love cats, though.  Wish I could sleep anywhere in whatever position, just like them, ha! :lol:



Oh, and, er, hold the line. ^_^

So with everyone talking about ME3 internationally, I decided to do a little research to see what's going on on my own country (which I wouldn't know, since I don't live there) and apparently ME got attention in Brazil too...but mostly because one of the developers is Brazilian. <_<

I just posted a civil and positive comment to not listen to him. I did not use the word troll, I said that "He uses facts he made up himself which obviously not exist."


Nice, you're a stronger man than me. I may have resorted to mud flinging... 

All in all though, I doubt many people even saw his comment so it probably won't effect us much. 



Hold the Line 


If 1 person reads it, or 1.000.000 is of no importance. There is a line where jokes and t*olling ends and serious harassement begins.
To put it into the word of Captain Jean-Luc Picard: "The Line must be drawn here!".

I can live with many things. But accusing us to plan terroristc acts is simply way above the "joking" anymore.

I don't think any of the fans want "their happy ending" as the sole choice.

If I could [space?] magically have endings appear I'd have a somewhat happy ending with lots of losses [personal & galactic] but Shep and a few of his crew may survive. I'd have some endings that are dark where Shep rebuilds Cereberus as it's head. I'd have other endings where the Reapers "win" but peoples across the galaxy start finding "the message in the stars". I'd also try to have a fair amount of endings in between these sorts of extremes.

In the end I would think that you'd have to "chunk up" the endings a fair bit and do an epilogue in pieces instead of one self contained epilogue movie.

I think KuvatON.com does a good enough job of that, no? :P

Good Omens is great, I have three copies so I can lend them to people.

But yes, back to topic. *studiously looks around for something else to comment about*

A very minor point in the grand scheme of the ending fiasco but am I the only one that wants to see the Normandy survive the battle intact? I love that ship and think it deserves a good ending itself, not being crashed / damaged AGAIN.

Posted this in another thread which is now totally buried, but thought it was worth reposting here.  Seen a few threads popping up with people apparently squabbling over the question of whether we, as a group, do and/or should want a 'happy ending':

I think this point kind of gets muddled sometimes, but best I can explain my view is like this: I definitely, absolutely want a happy ending for my own 'main' Shepard. So I definitely, absolutely want that to be an option.

What we don't want is an 'automatic' Happy Ending that everyone gets by default, barring a major screw-up. No, we want a variety of endings depending on how we've played, the choices we've made, and hey - maybe based somewhat on personal taste, why not?

In ME2, it's possible to sail through the ending with your entire squad alive and well. It's also possible for some of them to die - in fact, even Shepard can die, if we want to arrange things that way. In spite of the fact that ME2 really only has one or two 'real' endings, the amount of control we are given makes it impossible to describe our own endgame experience in terms of 'I chose option A, B, or C' - we actuallyhave to describe how we got there. We must define the tasks we assigned to whom, who was successful and who wasn't and why. A lot of people, myself included, really really love that ability to tailor-craft an ending that suits our taste. We would like this same feeling of freedom in the ME3 endings as well.


Feel free to add your thoughts.



that is an important point, i think. i for one don't particularly want an incredibly happy-clappy ending. lives should be lost. maybe even shepard's life (as long as it makes sense and is my choice). what i do want is the choice to have one. or an incredibly dark one. or anything inbetween based on what i've done in the games for the last 5 years.

my problem isn't the entirely the content, but also the execution. i could do dark as long as it's done well.

and as for our daily morale booster, folks. 

ahh, sometimes i question my life and my choices. 


How time consuming / problematic would it be to make most of your stuff available as posters? I'm thinking of getting one, because they dont look like classic videogameposters, but to some degree as "I would hang them in my room" worthy. (I usually don't hang up video game posters.)

The only downside so far is that a large poster would cost 46.80 Euro, shipping not included.


how do you mean? they are currently up on redbubble as posters, but yes, quite expensive. i think the prices on deviantart and zazzle however aren't a lot cheaper. :/

Considering that your life and your choices have led you to create works such as that, I wouldn't doubt them at all.


always so flattering :) no, really, thank you. it means a lot. i'm really glad that i can do at least 'something' here. and keep my mind of things :D
