i bought wanted: dead
i plan to write a bigger thing about it once i beat it, but for the time being my official stance is that the game owns and is more of what we need. we need more weird shit that is jank and idiosyncratic and guileless and deliberately evoking mid-budget ps2 games.

wanted: dead has caused more legitimate gamer rage than any single player game for me in recent memory. this is, to me, a positive thing. i miss when single player games were allowed to piss a player off.
