Mass Effect 3 was released on March 7, but like SOPA and Pixar’s Brave, it has already been long forgotten by “the Internet.” More specifically, the drama surrounding the game’s daft color-coded endings wore everyone out to the point of apathy. Even I stopped caring, and I usually love arguing just to hear the sound of my own keyboard!

But does anyone even remember what those issues were (besides Hitler)?
