I SAID HEY. WHAT'S GOIN ON? This song will always hold a special place in a cursed corner of my brain.

We disagree on a fundamental point. You believe that any sort of promotion that is not strictly paid-for advertising does not count as promotion. I, and the U.S. advertising regulatory system (from what I can understand), believe otherwise. Pointless to argue further, really. I could...

Simply because an incorrect statement is made a million times doesn't make it any less incorrect. I'm taking the liberty to post a legal definition of the U.S' interpretation of False Advertising: "Any advertising or promotion that misrepresents the nature, characteristics, qualities or...

May I direct you to this blog post which has a wealth of such examples, most of which are far more specific than than a quick skim off the ME3 website? http://social.bioware.com/forums/forum/1/topic/355/index/10409105/1 Choice Excerpt: Interview with Casey Hudson (Director)...

Congrats, looks like you got a head start on us all.

So I take it you love the taste of sand, or is it you like how muffled the outside world sounds from down there? P.S. I'm not saying that I somehow expect to know why every single player was mad at the ending. What I'm saying is that the actual problem with the ending was that it constituted...

I understand your cynicism, but I think you'll find that history bears a more positive witness on this one. This isn't the place to discuss activism or civil resistance, but if you're interested, there's plenty of examples I can cite.

Hellz to the yeah About time something brought this disgusting trend to a screeching halt. Why is it that advertising for virtually any product is relatively rigorously expected to meet certain standards, while games are seemingly exempt and producers/developers are free to promise...

Oh yes. As a journalist myself, I am routinely horrified at the liberties they take with news items and the degree of personal speculation, conjecture, and opinion they sprinkle them with.

How stupid. If anything, this means that game developers won't promise products that they won't be able to deliver. Don't you get it? The problem wasn't that players didn't like the ending, but that the product didn't meet the expectations and hype establish by Bioware/EA . If you...

I am amused that you think that petitions, as a means through which electorates can convey support (or withdrawal of support) to a political class seeking those same votes that electorate represent, do not possess power and weight. Re credibility - Credibility is a somewhat-relative value...

Same, I spread out my games across PC and xbox. Anything FPS (especially multiplayer) goes on the PC. I hates the controller.

I'm trying to play it and I keep waiting for ages to find any other players - its like the servers are barren. Even on deathmatch.

Couple of thoughts - I was on board with your interpretation of the narrative themes underpinning the ME narrative. I also agree with the manner in which you interpreted the themes, even if I don't necessarily agree with your conclusions in so far as they support the ending presented To give...

For £6, I bought it anyway and will try it in my own time. I've had burgers that cost more and lasted less, for chrissakes. Bargain!
