You could try to reason with the council, or you could hang up on them and laugh. How much better would it have been to be able to hang up on The Illusive Man in Mass Effect 3? You have a few annoying conversations with him, but it&#8217;s obvious the writer has just pinned you in place so you can listen to TIM talk about himself for a couple of minutes.

Now Viddler is holding our videos hostage for $lolnowai, and we don&#8217;t have the title for the next one. It&#8217;s no big deal. We can just give it a new name if we want, but if anyone remembers the original feel free to post it in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link (YouTube) Remember back in Mass Effect The First, when BioWare made annoying characters and then gave you the means to show your disdain for them?
