"Hey. I guess the bus is late again, do you want to go for a quickie behind those bushes over there while we wait?" Oh, wait. Don't be creepy. Sorry.

Just strike up a conversation with her, Ike. You don't have to be all creepy about it. Small talk's fine. :p She could still have been interested!

Make sure you put that in your online dating profile.

Maybe he's grown accustomed to Nintendo's way of telling time, where "April" means "a few hours before May".

That list of TV relationships oversimplifies things quite a bit, in my opinion.

Yes, as long as you fill up the green bar, you're good.

She would have to pretty awesome to accept that you think Pokémon is more important than her! Maybe you should accept that there are more important things than Pokémon and make time for other people even when you're busy. Pikachu isn't going to have sex with you, Serebii. I mean, we all have fantasies, but that's all they are - fantasies.

"Oh, Joe. This has been the best year of my life. Speak to you tomorrow?" "Sorry, babe. Pokémon Purple is out tomorrow. See you in two weeks." "... Um, what?" "Better make it three." "But... it's our anniversary next week." That's what I imagine dating you is like. :p

Yes. Except...

There's always a new Pokémon game on the horizon, though, so by that logic, you can never get a girlfriend. Maybe just get a cat.

Based on the comic books, I'm not convinced Mac Walters is a very good writer. No idea about Casey Hudson. Even if he is/they are, though, sometimes good writers write bad things. Especially if they're in a situation where they're alone and no one else is around to give them feedback. Even the best writers need editors. Anyway, maybe it's not true.

Rummy's way ahead of you, Charlie.

I think BioWare realized they could never write an ending that would make everyone happy, so they decided they might as well just troll everyone.

Patrick Weekes - writer of Tali, Mordin, Blasto and a bunch of other characters and missions - has allegedly spoken out against the ending. I say "allegedly", because the original post has been deleted and BioWare claims that Weekes didn't write it. But then they would say that. And if they asked him about it, he'd have no reason to tell them he wrote it. Well, make of it what you will. It makes more sense than the indoctrination theory, anyway. Or if you prefer something that has been confirmed true but isn't related to the ending at all, here's a list of everything Patrick Weekes wrote in the game. Maybe I'm the only one who finds things like that interesting, though.

Keep it in your pants, Danny. You don't know how he feels about The Matrix yet.

Teenage Alien Ninja Aliens. Okay, maybe not.

World of Illusion looked amazing, but it wasn't that much fun to play and the level design was pretty boring. Perfect for DreamRift, in other words. :p

It can't be worse than any of the other Illusion games. Except Land of Illusion. I really liked that one.

Entourage had one of the worst final seasons I've ever had the displeasure of watching. Though really, it started to fall apart about halfway through. *Off topic*

Games were a lot cheaper to develop back in the PlayStation era, so games didn't have to sell nearly as much to be considered successful. If it costs ten times as much to make Resident Evil 6 than it cost to make the first game, then Capcom probably wants it to sell ten times as much, too. It's what basically killed point-and-click adventure games.

He disappears forever if you don't talk to him when you've got the chance, so it's kind of a hollow victory.

No one should have to sit through The Plan, though.

They apparently skipped the miniseries, so they could just have watched that. :p

I hope he likes penises.

You can pick another color for the ending this time.
