I think I would personally prefer a game in the future, but that's because if it was a prequel or something that happened at the same time, I'd be all: "this story seems kind of... awkward when I know reapers are on the way." 
I quote/near-quote games kinda often. 
I liked the manoeuvrability of the Hammerhead, but hated how quick it was to blow sky high. Also hated how it... drifted rather than come to a quick stop. No one would want to tell the story of Shepard if it ended with 'em sliding off of a cliff 'cause of that wack-arse hovercraft. 
Very true on that first part for me as well! Wait... are you reading my mind (looks suspiciously). I'm going to have to pull out that tin foil hat again >.>
Quoting is a way of life for me... I quote movies and games to my husband all the time and hes all "I don't even...". I keep trying to get him to play games and stuff, and now that he can play my steam library while Im offline, he starts games and never finishes any of them and im all... but thats a really good game!!! (sad face)
I've told the story of Shepard dying more times than I care to admit. My favorites were:
1) death by grenade on insanity mode in the priorty earth when the shuttle door wouldnt open fast enough and I got blown up...
2) epic fail flip the mako to its roof and the mission failure
3) getting killed in Citadel DLC on the Normandy by
because I couldnt remember how to throw a grenade (that was epic terribad)
@Panda - very true about shoes and houses. I wear bear feet even though my kids would rather I didnt hahaha! Anything to upset the little buggers (tongue in cheek here)
I keep thinking if he was visiting here and was out and about in the summer he'd wear some comfy Nevados sandals. Those are supreme for summer wear comfort, with air flow, and thick springy soles....
