London: Charge The Beam!

I honestly had a different joke here until I saw Star Trek last night.

Even though they're little spoilers, I marked them out. But the new Star Trek movie is an awesome Mass Effect movie, you should see it. You can see the uncensored version of this panel here.

There is one last panel, but it's actually a big Star Trek spoiler. If you've seen the movie, you can see the final panel here.

Meanwhile, Shepard is a charred husk, let's check that out.

I hate this part of the game. You know why?

YEAH HEY THANKS BIOWARE I wasn't using those biotics or anything! I guess the reapers burnt up her biotic amp?

So anyway, you have to use the gun.

So anyway, I can't hit the broad side of the barn with my gun true story.

As Shepard limps along, she finally gets to the final enemy of the game, a lone marauder.

Nerds call him Marauder Shields, because the HUD makes that look like his name.

There's a fan theory that he's Nihlus, which is pretty cute and I like it, even if it isn't true. But what could Nihlus be standing there, trying to warn us about?

Okay, true, I could just turn off the XBox, but --

I've got a shitty art blog to run.

London: Our Old Friend The Mako

"Bean, are you going to show off every single Canadian stereotype?" I'm a comedian in America, so yes.

Speaking of Canada, this shit is going down in London.

A BIT OF MASS EFFECT HISTORY FOR YOU:

The ending of Mass Effect 3 was so fucking bad (I am not lying it is BAD) that Bioware released a DLC to fix it. This is called the Extended Cut.

I've actually never played it before MSPixel, so this is all new to me.

Anyway, some of this shit was in the old shitty ending, some of it is in the new shitty ending. I'll do my best to point out what's new and what's not.

In the Extended Cut, they added a shit ton of mako dodging. I don't know why the reapers decide to just flip makos at you, but this is happening.

Shepard gets Liara and Garrus to the Normandy for an evac. The Internet says this is an extended cut scene, but I swear I remember it in the original.

I do remember Mass Effect nerds unhappy with this scene, they wanted the scene to be longer. I was actually fine with this part of the ending -- they're being shot at. There's not a time for a Casablanca goodbye!

So anyway, squadmates gone, let's get to that beam.

Oh hell. Good job, reapers, only took you three games and two tries.

Oh wait. I forgot who I was dealing with.

We all need to remember, after all --

Even when she's a charred husk, no reaper takes out our Shepard.

London: I Mean What I Say About Major Coats

So was it just my game, or does Shepard's omnitool clip through her head in this cut scene?

Bioware swore up and down that you'd be able to play Mass Effect 3 without the other two Mass Effects. I mean, I guess you can hold the controller and punch buttons, so it's not untrue.

Major Coats weighs in too, but,

It's not like his ass is useful.

While they're driving, well, so is Hackett.

"Piloting a giant dick towards Earth: The Bioware Urmyth."

No, but check this out, this is cool:

Reapers just streaming all the fuck up outta Earth. That's a lot of dead organic life converted into reaper sperm!

Meanwhile, in the shuttle,

(It took me forever to come up with how to draw a shuttle crash. It tasked me. I don't like the solution I came up with.)

Meanwhile, this is one of the coolest scenes in the game, and props to the Bioware art team for composing it:

It is my joy and honor to utterly ruin it.
