How to Lose at Mass Effect 2

Using the flow chart BioWare helped us assemble after the release of Mass Effect 2, I decided that I wanted to try for an abysmal Suicide Mission...but one that could still be imported into Mass Effect 3. In other words, I didn't want Shepard to die, but I wanted as many other people to die as possible.The end result is a 29-minute gameplay video that actually serves as pretty good comedy.
For this run of the game, I imported my worst ME1 character an engineer who romanced Kaidan. She started as a joke; I hated Kaidan so much that I wanted to punish him with a pug-ugly Shepard as a love interest. As I played, though, I used her as an opportunity to see how the game responds when you do everything "wrong," so that made her perfect for the botched suicide run.
It's a non-stop series of questionable command decisions. Send Garrus into the vents? Leave Mordin alone to hold the line? Sure! I only got two characters' loyalty, because you need squad members alive at the end for Shepard to survive.
