Commander Shepard Stars in Mass Effect 3: Shep Harder
If last week’s awesome CG commercial of Reapers killing little girls from space and Commander Shepard kicking individual Reapers in the nuts didn’t do the trick, here’s a new live-action Mass Effect 3 commercial, which doesn’t quite live up to the last one, in my opinion. There is a little girl, although she doesn’t seem to be specifically targeted by the alien spaceships, and while there’s a dearth of Shepard kicking evil aliens in the testicles, he has decided to forgo the Normandy in order to lead a one-man assault on the ground, presumably the better to shoot everybody in the fucking head who needs shootin’. So it’s not without merit. I just prefer kicking aliens in the nards, I guess. (Via Unreality)
