![]() ![]() It drew me in because with the mashup of Lovecraft and western I could enjoy both a bit of gribbly horror fun and getting to hear my actions being narrated by a very throaty-voiced man with a Southern drawl every now and again and feel like I’m in the Dukes of Hazzard. So as well as cowboys and indians and outlaws and bounty hunters there are several factions of bizarre fantasy races like witches, werewolves, zombies, sirens and Chinese people. With a jolly interesting setting – it’s a Western but in an alternative world where the wild west was basically the way Lovecraft thought it was like while he was living on the east coast and refusing to leave his house in case the Irish immigrant family next door implanted him with chestbursting parasites. So in the end it was Weird West that caught my eye, an indie Fallout-esque isometric action RPG that came out around the time Ghostwire and Tiny Tina were hogging the limelight. And last I checked I wasn’t Alec Guinness’ dad and Lego Star Wars isn’t Metal Gear Solid. Feels like going to a nativity play at this point nobody actually wants to go to nativity plays unless their own kid’s in it or there’s decent odds of someone pissing themselves and crying in an amusing manner. I mean, how many fucking times have I gone through these events in one film, game or Robot Chicken parody after another? I don’t even like Star Wars much. Then I tried that new Lego Star Wars ‘cos I heard it was an all new open world take on the Lego Star Wars thing, got about ten minutes into the plot of A New Hope and then became overcome with depression. Tried a few things this week had a go on that Rune Factory 5 ‘cos some people said I might like it if I like Stardew Valley style games, and from that concluded that unless I find myself in urgent need of a T-shirt that would provoke awkward conversations at family events I should probably stop paying attention to weebs.
