Oh good, Mary broke her arm. All we need now is for Davey to contract measles and it'll be a party. Dying of dysentery is universally accepted as being kind of rubbish, so it's strange to think that Oregon Trail was such a popular video game. It's designed as an educational experience (another warning sign for most discerning players) to teach kids about life as a pioneer travelling across the titular trail. What this basically means is that your characters will be dying from various awful illnesses quite a lot and being hungry, which is exactly as pleasant as it sounds. Thanks to the unpredictable simulation game play, it manages to make a tiring, dangerous and very real journey oddly engaging.
A young man with a hairy face. Will often tell you that winter is coming before retreating to his mancave to play video games with a wooly jumper at the ready, just in case.
