    Much funnier would be a list of the worst/unintentionally funny game endings.

    Hey, wait a minute, I thought we hated cinematics in video games? I guess since these are ending movies, they're okay? Or since they're nostalgic, they're okay?

    Well, the earlier rant was about having gameplay actually interrupted by the little beggars. A cool ending cinema is a big different from having the game pause every five minutes for some random tidbit of motion capture. Ever line yourself up for a tough platform jump only to have the game shove an FMV under your nose right before you take off, sending you into the pit as soon as it finishes? That's the difference.
