About
"Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?" is an incoherent question which is often quoted on image boards, discussions forums and comment sections across the web.
Origin
The question first appeared in a thread on the /v/ (video games) board on 4chan about an upcoming Wii game The Conduit on February 12th, 2009. The original post featured a link to a YouTube video of someone playing the beta version of the game, accompanied by list of notable features. An anonymous user responded to the post asking "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?" (shown below). Several users attempted to decipher the question, speculating that it was asking if a video game company had ever gone to such great lengths to make a game appear realistic.
