Where are all the cowboy games? Bald marines seeking crouch-level cover emerge from the shadowy, inexplicably-brown wastes of the industry’s finest on a weekly basis, whilst the sheer brutality and unique charisma of the western era has gone largely ignored. Thankfully, Rockstar have kicked down that paticular door recently with the fantastic Red Dead Redemption, so hopefully many more devs will step up and give us more adventures in this interesting setting!

Last night in the depths of my unconscious mind, a member of The Decemberists (a band I have never heard, let alone know what they look like) had somehow, via some unspecified means, lost usage of both legs. Completely paraplegic. And for some reason, it was now my duty to fulfill his wish to be cast into the sea. From a great height. From a helicopter.

I don’t know either.
