Review: Hey, Baby

Anonymous: Why am I shooting men in that game?
and why is it saying "R.I.P. very attractive"
o.O
and I can't shoot women or some specific men

Laylah: You're only supposed to shoot the ones you want to punish for what they say to you.

Anonymous: No, I want to shoot them all 

Laylah: Well, RIP (phrase here)  is the last thing he said to you, inscribed on his tombstone.
 
Anonymous: "Oh my god, I hope you like black men" who the hell says stuff like that?
and I shoot them all before they can say anything :P just reading it on the gravestone 

Laylah: Guys on the street, in that case specifically a man hassling a woman possibly not of his race.
 
Anonymous: Do people really feel offended when someone says "God bless you'"? 

Laylah: Damn. You're a manhater.
YOU HAVE THE OPTION NOT TO SHOOT.
 
Anonymous: Every woman has her urges!
ehr... 

Laylah: And you know some people are offended by anything.
 
Anonymous: There are no consequences, so why not? 

Laylah: Because even if I could kill everyone, I would not.
o.O 

Anonymous: And I want to shoot the women for walking around as if they were something better and ignoring me!
 
Laylah: Lesbian, or just bi? 

Anonymous: Doesn't matter, they act snobby! isn't that what women thing? :P
I'm trying to roleplay that women damnit!
^^ 
woman 

Laylah: "Think"?
Just keep going.

Anonymous: Okay, women don't think, you are right ^^
heh I'll stop that game now
city full of gravestones
and yes think

Laylah: Great. I'm taking this entire chat, redacting your nickname out of it, and posting it as my review of the game.

Anonymous: A game without consequences and feedback to anything, those are part of the basic core that a game needs to not fail

Laylah: This is a simple fantasy game. 

Anonymous: No, it's a projection of the female mind!

Laylah: I'm not sure it was even written by *a* woman, and I'm pretty sure it was not written by all women as I was not consulted.

(Note: Author has not actually visited the website and tried the game herself, but instead gave the link to two male gamer friends who like to try anything, because she thought it sounded funny. Did not read background material if available. This is still nevertheless a better review of a game than most found on, for instance, MMORPG.com )

The A in A-List is for Attention (Where's the W for Whore?)

There are many reasons why we should stay true to who we are. But importantly, I can’t think of any reason not to.

Some may not like what they see when you show them everything. They may walk away and never come back. That’s ok. Let them. From their shadows many more will walk into the light. Those are the people you want around anyways.

-- from Write to Done's Flipside to Authenticity: What you stand to gain from sharing your dirty laundry.

That's from something about how, if you're going to blog on any subject, you should basically tell your audience everything about you including (apparently) your bedroom habits.

Do you immediately see, as I do, the flaw in the above advice?

I DO NOT FUCKING WANT EVERYONE ON THE INTERNET 'AROUND ME'. I JUST WANT WRITE SOME STUFF DOWN.

I have been to 4chan. I have seen the masked but ugly legion of faces that are Anonymous. I do not want them in my bedroom.

The thing to do with dirty laundry is to wash it yourself, and only a *man* could think otherwise.
