As hypothetical readers of mine might remember I spent far too much time talking about an idea for a special infected. It was a female zombie with pigtails whose primary attack was a spitting move.
And then just now I found this on the Left 4 Dead wiki.

This right here is one of the main reasons were I decided to start inflicting my opinions onto the internet.

Many times in the past I've had a great idea that then turns out to be not as original as I thought.
Now often sometimes it turns out that I had unconsciously stolen this idea, generally by seeing the movie/game/whatever as a children and then forgetting it, except for a particular idea which I then assume I came up with on my own.
Further more, in most other occasions the idea has just been such a simple and universal one that anyone, and in practice, everyone will reach it.
However, just like the guy that has to loudly predict plot twists in fiction, I feel the urge to inform people of my concepts/ideas. Regardless of how childish and petty it is, I enjoy being able to say 'I thought of this first/too'.
