This was brought up on the discussion page months ago and nothing came of it.

The current picture is really better suited for Nightmare Fuel or Eye Scream than Tear Jerker. While it *is* from a sad moment, and the character is literally crying, I'm sure we can find something that's a little better-suited/less cringe-inducing.

What can we use that gets the point across and isn't a major spoiler? Tropers/Helterskelter suggested Talitha in the "I Remember Me" quest from the first game. ME 3 is *loaded* with tearjerkers but I can't think of a specific scene off the top of my head that isn't too spoilery, especially given that the game's relatively new.

I'd be fine with the page not having a pic at all, but I agree that that pic, at least for someone like me who's never played the games, doesn't seem to fit very well.

I'm going to go with a pull on this one. It evokes completely wrong feelings.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

Gonna have to agree with pulling this.

Same, for the same reasons as already stated: looks like Eye Scream, not Tear Jerker.

It's pulled. Oh, and it's massively over the size limit.

IT'S OVER THREE FIFTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
(Incidentally, totally OT, but I just noticed that Memes.Anime and Memes.Dragon Ball have the same image.)

[up] Nice. [awesome] I'd say go ahead and start a thread for that issue.

Now what? This is my first IP thread so I'm not totally sure what to do once it seems resolved.

We either agree on no picture, or suggest a replacement.

I'm fine with no picture.

What about a shot of the Memorial Wall in Mass Effect 3 Maybe from the Extended Cut, with Shepard's and Anderson's names on it? Or would that be too much of a spoiler?

If you can tell what it is and not be able to read the names...

What about a picture of a literal tearjerker—Thane crying?

Would a picture like that do?

I GIS'd that subject, and wasn't impressed with any of the shots I found.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
