Don’t worry diogoribeiro, and thanks for the apology, it’s much appreciated. However, is there any chance that you might delete Tacroy’s comment Sir, as people may see the spoiler alert, skip that bit, then go for a looksie at the comments and oh my…some asshole has posted all possible spoilers for Silent Hill 2 just to prove a point. A point he was mistaken about.

Jolly good job there

Thank you everyone for the comments In particular:

@Demon Beaver: True, I had forgotten about that wonderful moment in Arkham Asylum. I even wrote about it in my critique of the game, but it slipped my mind now. I might mention it in a future revision of this article

@JackShandy, The Interpretations of Myself and Hamish: my apologies, it was an oversight. I was going to put up a spoiler alert but forgot about it, since I was on a tight schedule to post this article – it’s been fixed now. My apologies for any inconvenience.

That Silent Hill thing is not household banter, not everyone knows it! Myself included! I’ve been playing that fucking game. Why the hell did you have to even do that? Could you seriously not think of a subtler way of saying that? This sounds melodramatic, but I was enjoying this article and I don’t think I can finish it now.

I’ll say what I was going to anyway, though I’m not sure if it’s already in there: as a game designer, I make a point of looking for the parts of my game system that I didn’t expect to emerge – the things that some would glitches. This is, wonderfully, a growing part of forward-thinking design philosophy. Jon Blow says it best: http://braid-game.com/news/?p=666

Jack: Rosebud was his sled, Vader was his father and Verbal is Keyser. Seriously man, it’s been nearly ten years – the statute of limitations on spoiler alerts has come and gone.
