Does this trick work?

There must be a game review out there that consists simply of the word “good” or “bad” or something like that.

One supposes this has been linked here, but if so, I missed it, and it does have the virtue of being on topic.

I’ll also add this, which is a commentary on the previous link.
I provide this not because I think anyone should read it, but because it’s a nice example of why journalism as a profession is doomed. If you’re looking for witty squid-related commentary, you’re much better off with the amateurs at EOTAW than the paid professionals at Slate.

ben, it gives you a “starite decoy” instead. I’d make a joke about the identity of indiscernibles except I can’t think of one.
Kieran, that’s awesome. (It seems to require that objects be logically possible. Also, it never gives me a ledge when I ask for one.)
