I've been bored tonight, so I came up with another little sig banner if people want it (if not, no worries - I was bored, lol).



Available with the other material for this campaign in this album.

Man I wish I could be that creative.... these kind of talents will help our cause and the charity a bunch ! Keep them coming ! 

I have to say after the depression mood I've been in for last couple of days... this movement actually lifted my depression but strengtened my resolve. I am proud to be the part of something like this.

Kudos to you guys... I salute you.

Btw check this guy holding the line with us


He talks and points out some good stuff.

Also there is an interview with Casey Hudson which pretty much diminishes the hope for different ending.

http://www.gamefront...ng-and-its-bad/

Still it doesn't diminishes/downgrades the charity non less, neither the points we made so far.

Hold the line!

Hold the line. 
Despite what Casey says.

We can't be depressed by early responses, because it should be a given that anything Bioware says will be an attempt to shrug off or drive away from the problems people have with the ending. No matter if they listen or not, it's clear that at this point, they want to treat this as a temporary thing. Don't allow them to be right.

[LT RADCZEK]

Wow. Anyone else love how this turned out? Bioware craps all over our hearts and souls, and what to we do in return for this mistreatment? We donate to ****ing charity! +1 hope for humanity.

Seriously though, whoever said that the ME community are crazy and terrible for wanting a new ending can go shove it! (Though, the crazy part still stands, just in a good way now! lol)

Holy crap, I go to bed at around $10,000 and when I come bad it's gone to $28,000?

Some amazing person donated $10k earlier.

I really think Adolf Hitler did a good job of expressing my feelings about the ME3 ending:

What if we come to find out that it was BioWare who chiped that in? That'd be super cool.

I said it before in this thread, but if they want to save face with everyone, they should make DLC for ME3 that donates portions to Child's Play.

Doubt we'll ever find out who it was. But if it was a Dev or VA, that would be amazing. I never thought we would get this far with the charity drive. A wonderful show of unity that started in a place famous for the complete opposite.

I was going to write a huge post about how much I am getting sick of hearing some of the biggest gaming media sites continously bad mouth us but I couldnt be bothered I will simply ask the question...

Do they remember the days where video gaming was not such a main stream pass time, where people made fun of you for playing too many games or spending too much time caring about video games...or did they lose it all when they realized gaming is popular with everyone so being in the media circle they can now be the people to pick on other people for caring...the people WHO SPENT MONEY not the people who MAKE MONEY because of their relation to gaming, the people who game for fun, love and passion....and not for money..!

Yeah there are some people here who have donated that will more then likely have donated to just get the ending they want...hell at first I had my preconceived notions about this charity drive, but it's making people happy donating it, it's helping people, yeah it's still a show of people who are wanting that ending, but its about channeling that dissapointment and sadness into a good and noble thing....I wish more people would see it that way..

[Hexxys]

Donated.

That would be amazing.
And yeah, the cynical and depressed part of me didn't expect much at all but all day yesterday I watched the counter cilmb, it's really cool. Which feels like an understatement now.

[Aramina]

Unbelievable...we've almost hit $30k now! I feel like I need to donate some more.

[LivingHitokiri]

We can only hope and Hold the line!

[Arthorius]

That's...rather incredible, what you did there. Bioware can't dismiss an act like this, and in the end somme good will come out if it anyway. Brilliant! I'll put some money aside, and participate on my own.

Hold the line.

[DrowVampyre]

Here's the Liara one. Again, put [*url=http://retakemasseffect.chipin.com/retake-mass-effect-childs-play] before it and [/url*] after it, minus *s, to make it link to the donation site if you want to use it. Also, I may tweak it - not entirely happy, but I'm not sure exactly what's bugging me about it, lol.

As a Liara fan I love the idea of the banner but my main though it that it's too hard to read.

I still think MadMackNT_os says it best:

I’ve seen a lot of people posting Shepard saluting, or saying “this is what Shepard would’ve done” and frankly, I think you’re probably right. The last interaction we had with our character(s) was, for the most part, out of our control. Whatever choice we made, people were going to suffer, there was no Paragon option to persuade, no Renegade option to headbutt, there were just three crap-sandwich choices. The theme was clear: your choices don’t matter. Furthermore, it’s not even clear what ends up happening as a result.

The idea of donating money to Child’s Play is the perfect answer to that, it’s our catharsis. We wanted to know that our choices mattered, that what we did had a repercussion, that somehow, the universe was a better (unless your Shepard was just a dick) place for our character having lived. By donating to Child’s Play, by taking an active role and donating, we are showing that our actions matter and that the world is somehow a better place for us having been there. This has gone beyond games and beyond endings. We’re very literally taking a crappy ending from an amazing franchise and turning it into something far bigger then it could’ve ever been on its own.

We’ve taken the negative experience for us and turned it into something that is going to benefit sick kids in hospitals all over the country. We’ve taken the idea of Shepard’s actions from a video game and translated into real world good deeds.

In a post I wrote the other night, I said that the endings we’ve seen are a cop out and are far less than the franchise deserves.

However, what this forum is doing, right now is different. What better ending can a game whose, in my opinion, underlying theme was persevering against something seemingly impossible odds, doing the right, overcoming differences, bringing people together for a common cause and in the end effecting a positive change on the universe around you, have than this: its fan base coming together to raise tens of thousands of dollars to bring the awesomeness of video games to kids who are otherwise in a terrible situation.

Nothing Bioware releases is ever going to give me the sense of satisfaction that I have right now.

We’re writing our own ending right now, through our actions.

The ending that Mass Effect deserved.

Yeah, I may have gotten overly complicated using Ilium as a background. Experimenting with a blue paragon version of the way Wrex's turned out now, lol. I wish I could make her face bigger, but then the banner would be too tall.

[Eydris Ivo]

Wow, guys! Woke up this morning to see almost 30,000! That's amazing!

We have to never give up hope!

It's what Shepard would want us all to do! For Kirrahe and everyone else we have to never give up! Not just for us but make sure that when a kid who has to go to the hospital decides to pick up that Mass Effect 3 and finally beat it they don't get some bummer ending where Shepard wimps out!
