Aww well; we've already had the same "serious discussions" at least 50 times. What else is left to do but troll every so often?
Onto a slightly more serious topic regarding ME3, I think most of us were kind of annoyed at not being able to call out the Catalyst on its ****, which pretty much boils down to:

but more than that, after learning the nature of the story, I felt somewhat more disappointed that you couldn't do an end run around and convince [at least a few of] the Reapers themselves that the Catalyst was full of ****. The precedent is clearly established when you find out the Reapers are, themselves, little more than further enslaved victims of Catalyst (and in a twist of irony, protectors of life, by intention) but only in the last fifteen minutes of the game (after poor Marauder Shields fails to save us from it ), and only just before its established that the story ends with a dichotomous decision of what color explosion you want to effectively destroy the galaxy with.

I want a "dislike" option here
Given your signature, wouldn't you just dislike everything, by nature?
Since EA hates everyone, and everyone hates EA, any interpretation of that statement would seem to be tautological, or at least a statement of the obvious. It amounts to neither news, nor a point.
So i finished my first run though of ME3. Personally, I thought it was fantastic for the most part. Some of my favorite characters had really memorable story moments. Hell, I even liked Vega (course I have a few military friends that are like this so take it for what it is).
On the ending. It doesn't bother me so much of the ABC choice of ending, it's more the total lack of consistency in the "Normady escape" part of the video.

Why was Joker running? How the hell did some of my team members that were on the surface with me during the final push, make it to the ship in perfect shape? ***, He breaths in like he's still alive in a city-scape, this better not be a bullshit "what a twist" moment
That's what really annoys me and is complete out of character for the constancy in the rest of the game.
After having read all of Harry Potter and having the ending be some Mary Sue flash forward fanfic, I completely understand why people would be upset with the ending the "creator" finished with. The HP ending, (which disappointed me to no end) F'd in that it created more questions than it resolved, very similar to the ME3 and has a very "cop out, yeah that's good enough" feel. Though in HP's defense it still had more closure than ME3's ending.
---add in---
So I just watched this clip explaining the "indoctrination" theory about the ending. It makes a lot of sense, seems a lot more inline with Bioware's standard of story telling. BUT it would be real ****** if they planned this all along and made the real ending paid DLC.
