I apologise in advance for this. I was bored and I had just played Portal.
Now that it's been confirmed that Shepard is absolutely fine and healthy (Joker's fate notwithstanding) I feel a little bit like Bioware has wasted quite a lot of my time over the last month or so. For some reason, my anger always ends up directed to the the smug, expressionless mastermind who seemed to be at the head of it all - Casey Hudson.
So, I thought I'd do some alternate lyrics to the 'Portal Song' aka 'Still Alive' in honour of Mr Hudson and his brilliant marketing scheme.
Don't get me wrong - I love the guy. But I can't help thinking he enjoyed messing with our heads a little too much.
Commander Shepard is Still Alive
AKA The Ballad of Casey Hudson
AKA The Geth is a Lie
Here's the original- www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI
This was a triumph
I'm making a note here: ‘Huge success’
It’s hard to overstate my self-satisfaction
Bioware Studios
We mess with your heads because we can
For a laugh I told you all-
Commander Shepard was dead
But there's no sense crying over every cheap trick
Cause you’ll keep on buying though we’re taking the Mick
Elevators get done
And we’ll add some neat guns
Tell the people he is still alive
You’re not even angry
You’re feeling so relieved right now
All because we told you that we killed him
His armor in pieces
We put every piece onto a geth
As the speculation grew-
I was so happy for me!
Now these ads and rumours make a beautiful lie
Get a sense of humour
We’re just wasting your time
You kept listening to me
And you waited for E3
Just to hear that he is still alive
Go ahead and leave us
I think you prefer great plot in games
Maybe you'll find someone else to write them
Maybe Bethesda
That was a joke
Ha ha, fat chance
Anyway, this cash is great
It's so delicious and green
Look at me still talking
When there's marketing to do
When I read your posts it makes me GLaD I'm not you
I've got interviews to run
There are trailers to be done
To confirm that he is still alive
Believe me he is still alive
I'm making money and he’s still alive
You feel fantastic and he’s still alive
We were lying- he was still alive
And when you're dead he will be still alive
Still alive
Still alive
