Well fuck! Maybe I don’t get invited to go play Borderlands 2  like all the fancy websites did. Forget “maybe”, I fucking didn’t. What I did get to do was collate all the glorious pictures from the various sources into one post for our amusement. Let us hold one another, being neither privileged nor deprieved.

Commander Shepard Hasn’t Recorded Any New ‘MASS EFFECT 3’ Dialogue. For Now.

BioWare has promised the groaning, miserable legions of Mass Effect 3  detractors a new ending.
