Screenshot 9 could be seen as a poetic foreshadowing.

Personally, I was sick of the game after seeing Dell product placements after fifteen minutes of play, but that didn't stop me from giving it a fair shake. I just couldn't stand the game for its own merits.

I think a game like TR could only sustain my interest if I had more friends already invested in it. Kinda like having to deal with the obnoxious wife/girlfriend of a good friend you really enjoyed spending time with. Except this wife/girlfriend is so unpleasant that several of my friends would have to be completely infatuated with her in order for me to begrudgingly forgive her faults.
