Shepard is Meeeeelting - Mass Effect Glitch

My husband is currently on a mission to replay all the Mass Effect games and DLC in order. Fun stuff. Until, that is, we came across the Terrifying Mass Effect Glitch From Hell.

At first, Matriarch Benezia knocks Shepard down with her biotic powers. We laughed as he just lay there, watching Liara and Tali do all the work. We thought this was the extent of this particular glitch. But then... then we started to notice that Shepard was looking a little odd. Trying to push himself into one of those back-breaking poses that female superheroes do? Or perhaps slowly melting into a little puddle on the floor...

And then stretching...

And stretching...

And stretching...

And... oh god! :-(

What is this? The true, horrifying result of synthesis? Some new alien lifeform emerging, and using Shepard as a host? Proof that you don't mess with the asari?

Whatever it is, I'm not sure I can ever look at my husband's Shep in the same way again.

Mass Effect 3 Endings Post Extended Cut DLC - What's the Right Choice?

So, following on from my review of the Extended Cut DLC for Mass Effect 3 (read it here), I wanted to discuss the (now four) different endings in a little more detail, taking into account how the Extended Cut has affected them. Warning – this will be a LONG post. When I mentioned all the speculation in my bio, I really wasn’t kidding. 

Obviously, massive spoiler alert! I'm going to talk about the ending to Mass Effect 3 in depth, Extended Cut DLC included, so if you haven't played it yet, get away now while you can!

Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut DLC - Game Review

It’s pretty hard to avoid spoilers while reviewing an extended cut of the ending of a major game, so if you haven’t had a chance to play the Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut DLC yet, be warned that spoilers are going to abound. Bookmark this page and come back when you’ve experienced the new ending ;-)

Mass Effect 3 had one of the most controversial endings ever, certainly in video gaming history. Many (the majority of?) fans disliked it, and the backlash was so strong even Forbes covered it. Reactions ranged from well thought out criticism, to the absurd (but funny), and even some pretty excessive hate.
