And yes, by the way, i DO have a Vertigo tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Chris Auty's genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Vertigo. The layout is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the angles will go over a typical player's head. There's also Vertigo's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into its characterisation- its personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these elevations, to realise that they're not just A & B- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Vertigo truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the gameplay in Vertigo's existential catchphrase "height sickness" which itself is a cryptic reference to John Zukowski's epic "The New Millennium".
