Proposal: MST3K / Rifftrax does the ME3 Ending

Let's get the team of MST3K / Rifftrax to riff the ending of Mass Effect 3!!

This was something mentioned offhand on Twitter:
@fenrirchisholm I wonder what MST3K would say about the ending of @masseffect... "Where did this god-child come from?" #RetakeMassEffect#HoldTheLine

And I was immediately like "YES! we could actually DO THIS"
It would be fun and lighthearted and brilliant for moral, plus it would bring more attention to the movment!
My proposal - we reach out via email and twitter to ask them to consider riffing on the ending & put it on Youtube.

Things we will need:
We will need a copy of the last 10 minutes of the game (should this include choices made with TIM or should it start after that, where there are no dialogue options to choose from? I suggest after TIM is down & there are no dialogue options left, but lets discuss) Can anyone provide the cinematics?

Ways to contact MST3K:
(please comment if you think of additional ways or have emails / twitter IDs to contribute! I will just keep adding to this list)

*chuckle* My current status update approves of this initiative*. Dunno, though, while most of the people who write for Rifftrax are total geeks, I've not seen them touch gaming outside of references in riffs (and their own silly game production a while back).

Who knows, though... it's certainly worth a try!

After all...

Manos: Hands of Fate -- Still a better ending than Mass Effect 3.

* (In case I change it later... at the time of this posting, it was "Cambot... Gypsy... Tom Servo... CROOOOOOW!")

Agreed, I dont see them riffing much but movies, but the ending is a cinematic and it's an easy target - i figured we could give it a go. it'd be funny as hell.

I think that even people that aren't a part of Retake would find this entertaining...perhaps even enlightening?

If anyone has JUST the cinematic, that we could upload to youtube, I would love to have that to link to them which would make it easier to tweet them about it!

Greatest..... suggestion.... ever! (I don't think there are enough emoticons in the world to express my approval)

YAY we need to find the cinematic and people are free to start reaching out to them! I already emailed!

Would be nifty to have a hack/mod to 'auto play' the dialogue decisions to get through the entire red/good ending without the dialogue wheel. Just to have the realtime stuff part of the flow, too. Add in appropriate hesitation for riffs.

You can go into options and set it to auto the dialogue.

Oh, lord, that's such a disgusting thing to even consider in a real playthrough, I didn't even know it existed.

I tweeted this for now:

@rifftrax proposal! @michaeljnelson @kwmurphy @BillCorbett #masseffect3 fans would love to see you riff the ending!



but we can update it if we get a better video. this is the best i could find on youtube. if someone does or finds something better, definitely let me know!

BioWare included the option for the CoD/Halo fans who couldn't care less about picking dialogue options, and instead wanted to experience the gameplay only.

I'd watch it.

Great idea!!!

I've got a playthrough about ready to go through Earth. I could get some vodka and such and sit down and record it ....

Vodka always good for flu. Burn your throat away

@htewing Hope your gonna share that vodka

@kihten great idea!

Mwhahahahahahahahahahaha!

Yes...*rubs hands together* ...Yes...

BRILLIANT!

Let's get some tweets started!!

I don't do twitter
