Maybe spoiler-musings upon the internet's reaction to Mass Effect 3 follow.

I really don't get why the internet is having such a shitfit over the ending to Mass Effect 3.

I really don't.

I mean, it's not good. It may even be bad. But from the internet's reaction, you'd think the ending was Shepard dry-humping a poodle for 20 minutes.

Honestly, I've played worse endings. Like Fallout 3. Like God Of War 3. Like Halo 2. Why weren't those massive internet shit-fit starters?

Maybe I'm too forgiving. Maybe I enjoyed the many many hours of actual video game that I was playing before the ending happened to be that plussed about it. Maybe I'm easy to please when it comes to pulp sci-fi.

But really? Starting a protest charity drive? Filing an FTC complaint?

I just don't get it.

All I know is that sometimes I wish I could Renegade-Interrupt the internet.
