We're #3 (Or #1 if you exclude videos) if you just search "ding dong bannu"
[video=youtube;Y1aE9nJiqy4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1aE9nJiqy4[/video] Pretty rare outcome to Salarian/Krogan conflict. Knew about it, but never seen it before. Fitting tribute to Kirrahe I think. Shame you have to be a guddamn monster to get it.
[video=youtube;youtube;TXwXFQwd1Ao]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXwXFQwd1Ao&feature=player_embedded[/video] This was in related videos, this is what happens if Mordin doesn't survive I guess. lol.

Geth VI was a lazy design choice IMO.
Welcome back

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;35628930]I could see them making it free, but inevitably one would test the waters of charging for it, whether it be charging five dollars, ten dollars, or fifteen dollars, and then from there it would be a clusterfuck.[/QUOTE] And the best part? There would always be someone to defend it. "Why are you complaining, the ending is free even though it's released five months after the game was out, why are you so entitled" "The ending is only $5, you should be thankful they're making it at all. They obviously need to pay for server costs and the like, nothing in life is free. Grow up." "$10 is a fair price, it's almost the same as $5 a while ago. They have to account for inflation and increasing development costs." etc [QUOTE=Jonii;35630884][sp]I also didn't know the Starkid was lying. Even though he lied about destroying all synthetic life, he didn't lie about cycles repeating. I study literature, which is basically finding the connections between anything and everything. I know cycles repeat, and I know that after the war prejudice against synthetics and war between peoples would continue. They did after WWII. So I did the only thing that made sense. I threw myself in.[/sp][/quote] Certain themes may repeat, but not necessarily in the same way. For all we know the devastating Reaper attack on the galaxy might be enough to throw the whole thing off-balance. Let's not forget that there hasn't been a single hostile artificial construct in the Mass Effect universe that we know of. [QUOTE=Jonii;35630884][sp]Everyone lives. It certainly doesn't stop the probability of war and such in the future, but oh well. Maybe with their new sense of life and I guess "humanity," synthetics will understand and sympathyze with and get along with everyone even more. With their new bodies and enhanced thinking and general functioning, organics will do the same, and maybe have the logic to find new solutions to conflicts instead of war. All of this should also very much speed up recovery and, depending on their biology, survivability. Like the way cooperation between Geth and Quarians gave them like a 50 year head start with rebuilding the homeworld.[/sp][/quote] And you forcibly homogenized all life in the galaxy against their will. Now everyone glows in the dark and probably is wirelessly linked to each other. Fun. [QUOTE=Jonii;35630884][sp]The whole series was a question about the worth of life as a whole, and while not what they'd apparently promised, I can see why this was the ending Bioware chose. Yes, your past choices didn't directly affect this at all, but they certainly affected you as a person. I'm willing to bet that a lot of you knew exactly what you were going to pick the second the options were given. No matter what, you get rid of Starkid's control of the Reapers, which are shown in those last minutes to be shackled AI controlled by a creator, the way EDI was controlled by Cerberus.[/sp][/quote] Why didn't the Reapers rebel against him? It's supposed to be inevitable. There was no grand artistic statement with the ending, it was two men in a dinky back room of the offices deciding where to go with with the ending about a month before release. [QUOTE=Jonii;35630884][sp]Control was the option showing that you thought it best to control synthetic life, have it be subservient. Destruction was the option showing that you had decided committing genocide against synthetic life that was more powerful than you was necessary. Synthesis shows that you want organics and synthetics to cooperate, and that you can forgive the terrible wrongs either side has committed in favor of a fresh start.[/sp][/quote] Control, so far, appears to be the only way to bring back the mass relays. Destroy was your mission from the start, let's not forget that it was a war for survival. [QUOTE=Jonii;35630884][sp]The Reapers taking off immediately and the people looking up I think shows that they suddenly understood each other on some new level, and the Reapers immediately called off the attack entirely, now free from the AI making them fight. I think they will be peaceful.[/sp][/quote] Or maybe Bioware recycled the animation from the Control ending.
[QUOTE=Jackald;35631695]Geth VI? Is that what you get if you never wake up legion / sell him to cerberus?[/QUOTE] Or if he dies in your ME2 playthough. I played from a default save on my first playthrough, and Legion was dead. Basically an identical copy of him in VI-hologram from replaced him. Even the same model. It was lazy.
Hm, I just realized that there were no voices or lines spoken by anyone during the ending except the stargazer and the grandparent person...
Woh woh woh WOH The reapers were [I]not[/I] shackled AI's. They were [I]not[/I] under the influence of Starkid. Jesus Christ. The Reapers are the epitome of self motivated action and indomitable will. They are a nation unto themselves, wholly individual, and yet ultimately united. They're the Old Ones, unknowable beings whom cannot be fathomed by the fleshy minds of mammals. To say anything different would not only run contrary to everything we're told, shown, and that's implied about the reapers, but it would entirely negate them as characters. Bullshit I say. Bullshit and lies.
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;35631948]Bullshit I say. Bullshit and lies.[/QUOTE] Nope, only Bioware.
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;35631987]Nope, only Bioware.[/QUOTE] Considering that they've pretty much confirmed the Starkid is nothing but a lying dickhole, there's nothing supporting the idea that the Reapers are under anyone's control. Even they couldn't ruin this. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_NAoNd4YyY[/media]

I've seen enough twitter slips corrected by devs to doubt everything that is said there.
I wish Buzz Alderin played a big character in the franchise. His only role was a stupid one, but he's an awesome man (and good actor)
[QUOTE=mac338;35632086]I wish Buzz Alderin played a big character in the franchise. His only role was a stupid one, but he's an awesome man (and good actor)[/QUOTE] Buzz Alderin should of replaced starkid
[QUOTE=Sir Drone;35632099]Buzz Alderin should of replaced starkid[/QUOTE] Buzz Alderin should be the human councilor instead of Udina. And he should play a decedent of himself. Can't think of a more appropriate-seeming character.
Remind me, who was voice actor of Captain Anderson?
[QUOTE=Nitro836;35632134]Remind me, who was voice actor of Captain Anderson?[/QUOTE] Keith David Interestingly in Star Trek there's an actor called David Keith Anderson.
