In general, the game entailed pouring ink onto paper, flipping it over, and seeing what pictures appeared.

Rorschach felt that by doing so, he could delve deeper into a patient's psyche than written psychological exams permitted.

Toby Gard, the creator of Lara Croft, joked that it became clear that Tomb Raider needed a female protagonist when he realised that third-person games require a lot of staring at the main character's butt, so he should probably make that butt a lady's butt to keep him sane during the long hours.

For years, I had heard about the Canadian cuisine Poutine but had never eaten it. Despite having seen it on menus in the United States, I wanted to sample this Canadian cuisine for the first time in Canada. Poutine originates in the province of Quebec.
