I played through the first two Mass Effects as a Broshep, which I've been led to believe was a terrible mistake. So a few weeks ago—thanks to a combination of brokeness, still being lost in Skyrim, having forgotten the details about why exactly I was fighting a giant blue skeleton in Mass Effect 2, and my interest in seeing what Mass Effect is like with a Femshep at the Normandy's helm—I decided I'd wait to play Mass Effect 3 until I'd had the time to replay Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2.

Which seemed perfectly reasonable—even enjoyable!—at the time, but now every single person on my Twitter feed is talking about Mass Effect 3 and io9's telling me weird crap like "The game's developers spend a lot of time looking at Mass Effect fan art on Deviant Art" and there's like a Reaper invasion of Los Angeles happening this very minute and it is the worst.

So if all of you could just shut up about Mass Effect 3 for a while, that would be great and would make my life easier. Thanks.
