Rated NA 84: Gem in the Eye
The gang recaps the VGAs, Humble Bundle is awesome-er, Spellwood is a mobile gem, and we get our hands dirty with AC3 multiplayer. Finally, your thoughts and impressions about the award show’s winners and losers. Its more fun than finding magical games to put into the eye sockets of statues.

I think Scott makes a great point that the “Shepard breath” at the end is totally a way to placate people who can’t let go. I very much understand the need for people to pick DESTROY, but it’s not for me, CONTROL is for me. The ending I struggle with is SYNTHESIS because it feels far to sweeping for me. Shepard is literally changing absolutely every being in the entire galaxy. It feels weird when the entire point of Mass Effect, to me, was to continue being free and unique lifeforms.
Also, I totally did exactly what Ash did with “playing” the extended cut twice, thinking I had downloaded it and hadn’t.
