An example (in fact, the one that prompted this discovery) is the following sentence:
[A game developer is] prepared to be held up to “internet ridicule if that’s not the case”My initial guess was that the developer actually said "I'm prepared to be held up to internet ridicule if that’s not the case," but, if so, why wouldn't the author have quoted all possible words? I try to imagine that the author quoted as much of the original as possible given the sentence structure he'd decided on. So then I imagined the interview, and the developer saying "Commence the internet ridicule if that's not the case!" That fits, and it makes the words quoted the only words that could've been quoted given that sentence structure.
It's a weird little game. Does anyone else do this, or is my diversion unusual?
(For your potential curiosity's sake, the article I was reading was about Overlord: Dark Legend, an upcoming title for the Wii, about which I'm cautiously optimistic.)

While Overlord: Dark Legend might be fun, you do realize that Overlord is already available on the 360 for less money and probably looks a helluva lot better. Is there any benefit in playing the Wii version, or are you more curious with how developers can push the Wii?
