    I can't decide if that's more ridiculous than Activision price slashes during Steam sales.

    15% off on MW2.

    My sides, they're moving on their own.

So if the planets are somewhat close, they can get back to them with week-long journeys, but the problem comes with the far away planets, those might take a longer trip to get back. Maybe they would end as the Migrant Fleet of the Quarians, or find a new planet to establish. If Joker survived, I'm pretty sure some ships escaped the explosions of the mass relays, that's my take on it.

    Maybe, but if you follow the events of events of Arrival, the destruction of the mass relays leads to the destruction of the entire nebula, as evidence of the fact that once you destroy the relay you can't get back to the Viper nebula. Obviously that's not the case in ME3 since joker had to of crash landed somewhere, I'm assuming he landed somewhere on earth since everyone got out of the Normandy and didn't choke to death instantly in a foreign atmosphere.

    What I'm guessing is that it has very much to do with the way they destroyed the mass relays, since one of the characters in the game (I forget who) theorizes that resulting explosion of destroying a mass relay might be a defense mechanism implemented by the Reapers to give advance civilizations an ultimatum: Wait to be harvested and fight it out, or destroy the relay and destroy the entire nebula.

    Spec Ops with a friend in local co-op is one hell of a blast though.

    Both companies are fucking vultures when it comes to DLC, charging for various little things, costumes, weapons, etc. AND putting DLC on the disc. Okay guys, GG.

    And yes, fried mayonnaise balls are supposed to be your favorite food, and you're over weight. Or at least that's what I've been lead to believe about the middle of the country.

    Yeah, I had forgotten that about the Batarian colonists, maybe their colony was way too close to the mass relay and couldn't escape the black hole effect created by the destruction? Good question. Then again, the mass relay in Arrival was destroyed using artificial means by exploding it, maybe Shepard's way to destroy it was different and thus, didn't cause the destruction of the nebula, like imploding? At least that's what I'm figuring out.

    That's exactly what I was getting at about the destruction of the mass relay, I just forgot to mention it.

    I kind of liked the synthesis ending, lack of closure aside. And the "destroy reapers" ending obviously opens the door for my space jesus to live so that's definitely plus. What I don't agree on is the lack of a boss battle of sorts, the original concept for the end-game Illusive Man was much more bad ass than "LOOK AT ME MY NECK IS BLUE".

    Conversations entirely in spoilers FTW.
