Like serial killers and scrap-bookers, I like to collect things. I’m always on the hunt for a new, or at least underused, game mechanic. I believe the adorable Tiny & Big was the first time I encountered a slicing mechanic in games, back when the original demo was released many moons ago. Bokida doesn’t have Tiny & Big’s charm, and truth be told it’s currently not much of game. But the atmosphere and ability to build things up then dice them is a hint in the right direction, and still manages to be fun.

I rarely role-play in games. I’d like to believe it’s because I have such a well-defined personality that I simply can’t accept not being myself, but the real reason is that I’m rubbish. I only ever have one well-defined notion of what I want to be: Garrett. Every opportunity to create a character in a game for me means loading up on stealth options, and when I do I don’t really feel the character. I’m just a dude in the dark. But my last Skyrim character was lost to the great platter splatter* of October 2012, and I’m keen to go back the Fus Ro Dah. The question of whether or not I replay as a Garrett lookalike or roll something more adventurous has been answered with this mod that puts Team Fortress 2′s heavy into the dragon’s lair. I can tell I’m not going to be loading up on stealth options with this one.
