Wow, this review has helped me change my mind. It is awesome, you are awesome, quincy. I am wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.

Ha. What's even more amusing though is that a Staff Member approved it.

No, I rejected it, but even rejected reviews can still be accessed by changing the review ID in the URL.

Why someone brand new would know to do this begs some questions.

Oh, that explains it. I clicked on the "view this review in another window" thing and it should up, so I figured it was approved. Then I went back and it wasn't on the main page.

Curious, though how someone knew that...

I had no idea games had sexual preferences.

Silly, Joe. When trolls wish to bash on the internet, everything has a sexual preference--dogs, computers, televisions, cars, games, reviews. All of it.

I openly admit that.

Oh, I forgot one more though: guys who quote Billy Madison verbatim because they have no originality, wit or creativity.

:D

I'll go even one step further!

Billy Madison... he has sexual preferences, and he's not even real!!!

Ah...Veronica Vaughn...

Sorry. You just got me on the track of thinking about what Billy's preferences were, then remembering he had a crush on the hot teacher...then I remembered the hot teacher.

...

Ever get that prognostication that a topic is going to spiral out of control?

But is that necessarily a bad thing? Like, what would happen if I asked the profound question of why I'm me and not you? Where would that lead us?

Not at all. Anytime I'm not shunned or disregarded it's a good day for me.

And while I ultimately prefer the parallel universe debate I would respond to your question by saying there's no way of verifying that's even true. We could all be one massive, independent entity, like the dream of a far superior being. Or this entire reality could be a figment of my imagination, and everyone on here is simply a fragment of my psyche. I am you, I am Joe, I am RunningFree.

...

And we have officially derailed.

Uh... I never would have thought this thread would have taken this direction.

Well, one thing came out of the situation, at least... I've tweaked source code so that reviews will no longer display if they are not staff-approved or if they have been marked for deletion. It was an overdue change.

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

No comment on the surfacing, intelligent discussion regarding the inconsistency of reality?

Thanks, Buzz Killington.

Aww. I wanted to read the hilarious troll review. =( Oh, well. The change was overdue and necessary.
