Mass Effect 3's Extended Cut DLC is out today, hopefully bringing months of fracas over the game's ending sequences to a friendly resolution. Hopefully. BioWare's already gone on record to say that "you can never completely satisfy everyone", which is the kind of line that makes fans shake outraged fists and headline writers clutch their heads, contemplating another few months of ME3-flavoured newsage.
To show they care, the Mass Effect 3 team have released a few screenshots of themselves, well, caring. We find this heartily amusing, all the more so now that we've added Humorous Captions. You may be able to write better ones. In fact, we'll bet you a code for XBLA action-platformer Outland that you can dream up something funnier in the comments thread. Puncture the pictures below with fine-honed wit, and there's a free game in it for you.

Last picture - I'm putting my hand here pretending to be thoughtful, but really the guy behind it stole my chocolate chip muffin and is not getting on this picture.

Last picture: Whi in their right minds writes an alternate ending for and third person shooter? We killed off all the good role playing stuff when we signed for EA. Scene cuts out to Jessie J "it's all about the money"
