    The reason that the text is the same in all of the newspaper articles is because it is a common bit of text used as a placeholder for centuries. It's base is over 2000 years old and the main text has been used as a placeholder since the 1500's.

    Hahaha the writer's names were the best part. Fantastic! @Turbo that's actually not Latin. It's just gibberish intended to look like Latin that was created years back as filler text. Just go Google "Lorem Ipsum Dolor" and you can find huge strings of it.

    Awesome idea, and awesome execution. If GR was a magazine, I'd want it to be an old-school newspaper.

    I didn't even know you could do that in Mass Effect 2 !

    I didn't care for ME2 as much as I thought I would, but I lol'd so hard when I punched the news woman. Renegade pwns.

    Didn't notice the journalist names until Donkey Balls but Rick McDick was genius. Also I don't usually post captcha things but Called Brownish made me laugh.

    Waaiiiiiiit a second... You used Pages, didn't you? Funniest quote from the article imo: "I wanted to see what would happen"says God. :P

    for metal gear solid 2, obituary for solid snake after the tanker incident later, conform that he is not dead last, confusing turn of events after arsenal gear's ai is corrupted. for dead rising, zombie outbreak in mall, journalist, Frank West enters mall to investigate this outbreak. next, Journalist claims there are thousands of ways to kill zombies in a mall.

    or alternatively for Mass Effect 2: Commander Shepard of the Normandy takes long pauses during conversations, anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, eyewitnesses claim. Doctors are nervous.
