I think this is the longest VGART/NOTART essay so far, which is why I couldn't bring myself to transcribe it all in one go from the original manuscript, and had to break it down in pieces to do it at all. I'd already been putting it off for years, so as much as I hate to cut an essay up in pieces, at least this approach finally worked, and I got the whole thing off my chest. I tackle a bewildering number of subjects here, and I think without a doubt this is the most complex game review ever written. By far.
