Doug, you have allot you need to think about given that fact that you don't feel bad about posting a thread like this.
Yahtzee is just a person, sure most of his reviews explore the negative side of games but it not a simple shit-storm, nobody would watch that. he exposes the negative to enforce the many positive aspects of gaming and perhaps make people think about what they enjoy in a more critical way, so they can find what's truly good and what they truly enjoy, not just what they learned to cope with.
For whatever mass effect is, I'm sure it will still be from his head, no point in talking about it really. especially if the end is to just gloat like a fool.
