What do an anthropomorphic vegetable and Doomguy have in common? Both have ‘rip and tear’ on their to-do list – though only one of them has hands. Still, that’s not enough to stop Turnip Boy, who understands that the best way to avoid the attentions of a corrupt government’s HMRC equivalent is to get rid of the evidence. He’s not taking any chances, either: anything from autographs to lunch receipts, diary entries to old newspapers, handed to him by a range of sentient foodstuffs, is fair game. At a time when videogames are presenting us with increasing amounts of expositional lore, there’s something cathartic about pressing a large button to dismiss it. It’s sometimes used to amusingly cruel ends, too, such as when an enthusiastic artist presents you with a personalised manga drawing and you have no option but to shred it in their face.
