Conspiracy always makes for some fun... but more importantly!Rsteffy said:Good show Bob, I rather enjoyed this episode. I haven't had this much conspiracy fun since the X-files.
Not quite seeing where the problem lies either. You go to your local gamestore, you pick up Halo 4, and while going home you pop in your vote. It takes, what, 5 minutes to vote?Vault Citizen said:Can't people both vote and buy Halo 4?

If I were Microsoft, I'd offer a discount or rebate on Halo 4 if the customer produces proof that they voted. There are potential problems aplenty there, but that kind of concept might work.

Seriously? Just drop it already. The ME3 thing is over. It's done. He had an unpopular opinion. Let. It. Go.DVS BSTrD said:Why couldn't you put this much effort into understanding ME3?
