but Team Fortress is broken. Still fun, though.

That is the most likely candidate, actually. Because the game shipped with this ending, they'll almost certainly want to stick with it, instead just working everything else out so it doesn't seem so damn stupid. They can do a lot to help things that way, though they're always going to be saddled with some issues that will still leave a lot of people displeased.

James wrote: The story with Shepard is done with (within this series, not with the game, as there is DLC planned).  Mass Effect as a setting is not.

It's pretty hard to make a sequel with the endings they've given. The disparity is too great. If they do, it'll be a very different game than the previous ones anyway. But you know, I learned something today. That stinger voiced by Buzz Aldrin? It's 10,000 years into the future according to the game files. Holawd...

Well, it's pretty clear at this point that the indoctrination theory is wrong, so I'm glad we agree.

James wrote: Dragon Age had gay sex.  Just sayin'.

There have been gay romances in BioWare games for a decade.

James wrote: That's taking things a tad too far.

I still don't see how that is a bad thing. In terms of ways to air your grievances, that is incredibly civil and productive.

James wrote: Oh and Textbook, I hope you have Broken Steel?

Haha, that's not the first retconned ending, you know.

Uh, which ones have you played? I do not see how you could not think that MDK2 and BG2 are damn fine games.

I didn't know old Buzz' scene was supposed to be 10,000 years after the events of Mass Effect 3.  Interesting!  It seems if that is true, then technologically everything has stopped in regards to Space Travel.

If you've read Dr. Greg Muzyka's blog message from yesterday, you'll know he also mentions future Mass Effect games are planned.  So it's not the end of the series.

Also, Jennifer Merizan (before she got an accidental death threat) was helping the community out a lot with her tweets.  I haven't read them all as I'm not on Twitter but she did say the Mass Relays are not destroyed.

Well you should do.  At least the Baldur's Gate series.  They're superior to Knights of the Old Republic.  Neverwinter Nights I can understand though you not liking.

I played the demo of the first MDK (Murder, Death, Kill, not Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh) once and didn't like it much.  I've not played MDK2 though.

I can't think of a single player game I've enjoyed more than Bioshock in ages

The final boss of Bioshock was pretty anticlimactic though, although the endings were pretty good.  I'll be ordering Bioshock 2 from Amazon, so hopefully that'll come soon.

Recommend me some free games, other than TF2
