I have to say that I was highly disappointed that when I found the novel Killer Instinct from the escapist tag, when inputted that was not the correct game.

The only thing I thought is that the initials of the characters may spell ESRB, the board that assigns ratings to game. I thought the last sentences could be a reference to Inception (the movie), but I'm not sure.

You might be onto something there. If you check...

...his profile, Inception is on his wishlist.

Now I'm thinking it may have something to do with his wishlist.

If you check, the stuff on the wishlist was added on December 13th, while the review was on the 16th. I doubt they'd be on different days, but anything's possible.

Addendum: there's stuff there from 2006, so the account wasn't specifically made for this....

I think so too. But which item? There's quite a few.
Unless we link it with the ESRB thing... Hmmm... Well, I'm really confused.

I just found a neat thing on the Escapist:

Spoiler

There is a web page on the escapist tagged with the mens' names from the review. It even has all the clues so far as tags as well!

The problem with the... ESRB theory is that it begins RB and then ES comes in. That seems a little...inelegant, if that were really where this was going.

Many thanks for pointing that out. I was dreading having to research every item lol

Apparently, posting the review is considered "posting the answer" by the mods who aren't helping in the least anyway!
At least we're on the right track. *sigh*

Well in connection to the ESRB 2/3 of the movies on his wishlist are pg-13, and the other one is unrated. Relevant?
Edit: Nevermind, I didn't see the big "See all # items" button

But look at the dialog. They're discussing "who's first"

Check out the comments. There are familiar faces out there and they're randomly capitalizing words.

The comments have some rather glaring punctuation and grammatical convention errors. Curiouser and curiouser...

And, within this, I believe the next clue may be in the comments...there are only three, and all by mods/admins
