That was indeed a feeble attempt at reverse psychology.

Szut.
But yes, I think it's a good occasion to stress two points once and for all :
1) Yahtzee doesn't take suggestions.
2) If he took suggestions, he would take the suggestion to review "vampires the masquerade: bloodlines" because it's that retrogaming summer time and this game is simultaneously a surprisingly decent RPG and a pathetically ridiculous geek-fest, plus it is completely compatible with the "thriller sequels" rating system, which would made this review a nice blend of gaming criticism and more general media irony, with the nice nostalgic flavour of those old written movie reviews, and given that it touches so many aspects, it would be a delight to play and review, but none of us will suggest it, because the idea of suggesting a game to review wouldn't even cross our minds, and yahtzee wouldn't listen anyway (and actually we wouldn't even know what game to suggest).

No, no he wouldn't. He doesn't review retro games anymore. Not even if someone says that it will appeal to him and they know every little thing about him, he still won't. Actually, if they claim to know everything about him and suggest a retro game for review on ZP they don't know everything about him.
Not that anyone has said they do.
I'm liking you more every day David-Kyo.
Now can we let the topic die?

Fail.
Absolute success. It can't fail because it was extremely subtly manipulative. I'm totally optimistic about that one.
