Talk:Camtest02 - An Essay/@comment-25021327-20140901002753

Well this was indeed an interesting compostition to stumble upon through the Random Page button. This is, as far as I have seen, a fairly unique pasta. It covers a variety of topics, and despite its essay, or editorial point of view, keeps in the spirit of the wiki, and gaming creepypastas as a whole. The fact that it smacks of truth makes it more gripping.

As I said, there were a lot of issues covered here. And although well researched, and articulated, the tone feels very much a stream-of-consciousness, and for me the piece feels, at times, unfocused. That said, it does give the writing a distinct style. I'm also glad that this essay didn't become preachier than it needed to be. It danced around that feek at times, but didn't become oppressive.

This was a good way to bring to light at least one of the many overlooked tragedies in the world. Of which if we all knew the scale of frequency, we would probably end up broken, or cold hearted. Though I can't personally shake the fact that the burning question for me is still, Why include that photo in an arcade racing game? Was there even a reason? Does the image have significance to someone? Did it simply contain a color palette they needed to test out? Facial recognition? Who knows?

I'm characteristically rambling again. Good job on a thought provoking piece of writing :)
