Unpopular gaming opinions (#UnpopularGamingOpinions) trended on Twitter yesterday, and surprisingly, Amazon.com poked fun at a few games/series on their @amazongames Twitter account. Here's an archive of those tweets:

Just when I forgot about the endings in Mass Effect 3! Come on!
An interesting gold trading company called "Gold 4 Gold" popped out of no where recently in an advertisement on Conan. Instead of trading your gold for cash, that company lets you trade your gold... for gold.
"Do you have extra gold lying around? Well bring it to us. Gold 4 Gold. We'll take your gold, and give you different gold," the owner of that company said.
"I had no idea that my gold was worth so much other gold," a satisfied customer mentioned.
The owner added that he doesn't accept silver, platinum or money; in fact, he mentioned that he doesn't even have a store, and you need to meet him at Popeyes to trade in your gold. Sounds legit. I might give this company a try!
Tech newbies has been asking the video game community what developers can do with the PS4's 8GB of GDDR5 memory. Here's the worst (yet hilarious) responses that I could find:
The PS4 can render 30x more grass than the PS3.
The ability to run The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim without slowing down every few seconds.
To render realistic boobies.
To load the PlayStation Store in more than 5 fps.
To emulate Xbox 720 and Wii U games.
I don't know about you people -- but I'm really looking forward to virtually walking around in 30x more grass!
Netflix has released an outtake from the upcoming fourth season of Arrested Development!
In the clip, "Lucille finds a way to get around the building's strict no smoking policy and the fact that her ankle monitor prevents her from approaching the balcony."
I can see why they're not including that scene in a full episode (the scene is too long) -- but it makes for a perfect teaser!
