Pyst

[edit]
  • ... The Mirror recommended that players stumped by video game Myst should get pyst?
  • Alt 1 ... that Game Revolution was pissed at Pyst?
  • Alt 2 ... that critics have claimed Myst parody Pyst as the first ever parody video game?

  • @Coin945: Date and expansion OK. With regard to the hooks, I feel that ALT1 is probably the best, but I suspect that it wouldn't be looked on too kindly outside of April Fools Day, would you like to hold it until then for that? Otherwise, I think the original is better. QPQ done, no close paraphrasing beyond the quotes. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:47, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
  • My personal favourite is Alt 1 as well. I would prefer to have the article on the main page sooner rather than later. So if DYK does not look kindly on my joke hook, then I am happy for an alternative to be used.--Coin945 (talk) 08:37, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
  • I'm happy to promote ALT1 but if the no-fun police come knocking, then the original will be the fall-back option. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:41, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
