Tali!Image IPB lol i loved when that happened, especially since i wasn't expecting it the first time around


"Ah yes, spiders: Diminuitive arachnids capable of inspiring fear in species capable of space travel.
We have dismissed that claim." (comment on video i laughed at and i modified Image IPB)

Man that post was a ***** to format. No matter what I did, it kept coming out wrong. But it appears fine now.

Your optimism humbles me Image IPB Seriously though, while I may not agree a couple of your points it's well written and thought out.

Those are just a few of the very valid criticisms of the ending. I had the original black N7 armor because I thought it looked awesome but yes, the male torso at the end was disconcerting to say the least.

Read it, thought about it, agreed with it. You're right those little niggles could have been forgiven but for the awful nonsencical ending.

This can't really be explained away this is an oversight caused by what i'm not sure but its is a clear mistake

One does not simply walk into Bioware. Its black gates are guarded by more than just moderators. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Priestly is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand cupcakes could you do this. It is folly.

A good read and I agree.  The sad thing for me is ME3 at best is a good game not great in my eyes but just bordering on good because of Rannoch/Genophage just manage to save it.

That was essentially the thesis of the whole post. Or at least it's what motivates why I feel the way I feel about the game.

Mass Effect 3 was a boat that was full of leaks but was managing to stay afloat. The Ending was the 20 ton anchor that ended up dragging it to the abbyss.

Given a real ending, I wouldn't be complaining like I am, lol.

I aim to please, lol. And thanks for the comments.

I really like the response to the blog. It's motivated me to do another entry sooner or later.

I would like love more comments about it, because I appreciate everyone's feedback, and want you to know that I am listening.
