 | Another word on travelling. Finding myself in the single facing seats normally reserved for the elderly and disabled, with a lost boy opposite me (not lost in the “is this the Luton train” sense, I hasten to add) staring without any other point of visual interest (hood up – no peripheral vision) at me, I decided to while away the time and ward away the gaze of the damned with a bit of laptop-fiddling.
I love my new laptop, and am tip-tapping away happily right now. It’s cheap, but most definitely cheerful.
However, it has taught me a cruel but vital lesson. The Thing is a computer game designed to engineer fear, anxiety and tension. Also, it is a game in which careful management of the emotions of your team means the difference between good neighbourly feelings and being shot to death before so much as seeing a beasty.
Combine these factors and you get a game you really shouldn’t try to play using a touchpad. Really. Trust me on this. It isn’t pretty.
