To every video game news site, video game blog, and forum member who has knowingly spoiled a bit of Mass Effect 2 just for the site hits/attention, I say: fuck you.
 
To the people claiming you shouldn't be reading video game news if you want to avoid spoilers: I get my news through an RSS feed, and I never expected to have to add specific filter rules to them. Since I scroll though hundreds of articles a day, avoiding one specific game's news isn't easy, and there are too many other things I'm interested in to just stop reading news sites. Besides, I always figured that gamers would extend other gamers some common decency.
 
That said, to everyone saying there's no way to avoid such spoilers for such a high-profile game unless you've been living in a bubble, I've managed to keep that bubble mostly secure, and learned only minimal details about the characters and plot of Mass Effect 2.
 
Of course, all the work I've spent on doing that will have all been for naught, because I still haven't pre-ordered the game, and I have no idea when I'll be getting it. I'm sure I won't be able to keep this up post-launch.
