Sometimes I *really* hate nerds

and this is one of those times

*extremely Jay Leno voice* Ehh what if we put Cuthlhu into one of those Vin Diesel movies and made a game out of it, huh? Wouldn't that be something? What would we call it... oh I know, Fast-Fhtagn!

Kill me.

But it's "component rich"... What else is there?

At least it's not a cutesy depiction of Cthulhu, but nah, we shouldn't be seeing those anymore as surely everyone has gotten over the "joke" by now... Oh wait: www.kickstarter.com/projects/deevolution...only-hope-to-survive

"We're calling Fast & Fhtagn a "standalone sequel" to Cthulhu 500, but that really only tells half of the story, because the gameplay for Fast & Fhtagn is completely different from that of Cthulhu 500. However, at the same time, 90% of the cards from each release are cross-compatible with the other game, so each acts a bit like an expansion for the other.

What's different?

Cthulhu 500 takes place in a single dimension: There's a single-file pack order, and the front of the pack wraps to the back.

The pack of racers in Fast & Fhtagn has width as well as length. Cars move sideways from lane to lane, as well as trying to gain ground on their competitors. Fast & Fhtagn also has a changing environment that Cthulhu 500 does not have. As the street race moves though the city, the configuration of lanes and sidewalks, and the presence of civilian cars, changes without much warning, which becomes a tactical challenge for the racers.

There are other additions and differences as well, such as the addition of style points to Fast & Fhtagn, which reward you for doing things like driving on the sidewalks and swerving into oncoming traffic."

I don't know, it sounds like it could be fun. I feel like the guy is allowed to do a sequel to his 12 year old game.

THE RETURN....
