How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Mass Effect 3 Ending

After all the brouhaha I heard about the ending for Mass Effect 3, I was a little hesitant to actually complete the story.  I stayed spoiler-free (mostly), and eventually forged my way to the end after a long night and all-day playthrough today.

So, here is my official response to everyone that's calling for Bioware to change the ending to Mass Effect 3:

..|..

Yup, that's right: sod off.  Or more specifically, "Grow a quad emotionally and sod off, you mouth-breathing, keyboard-turning, cultuarlly-immature sacks of hot air."

I'm not saying the ending was a flawless dismount for Bioware's incredibly popular (and incredibly risky) space opera series, just that the criticisms I've seen don't hold water for anyone who appreciates storytelling that's more emotionally mature than, say, The Cat and The Hat.  Or the Twilight series.

Disagree with me?  GOOD.  Let's talk about it.

SPOILERS AHEAD.  YE HAVE BEEN WARNED.

It's official:  I'm part of the staff now over at VideoGameWriters.com!  I'll be writing news for the site, which is a newcomer to the video game news scene that I've been following since it launched last year.  The challenge, of course, will be making it fit in with that pesky day job...

But enough about why local news is grinding my soul into a fine powder: you didn't come here to see me being emo.  This is not Live Journal.  Let's talk about why I like VGW, and why you should too.
