How ‘Untitled Goose Game’ went from meme sensation to real game House House partner Stuart Gillespie-Cook went into the company’s Slack channel in August of 2016, posted a picture of a goose and wrote “Let’s make a game about this.”
Video game protagonists come in all forms, from burly space marines toting massive machine guns to foxy cave-exploring vixens. But one of 2019’s most anticipated titles finally gives you the opportunity to play as… a goose. Untitled Goose Game, the second release from Australian developers House House, is an unlikely prospect for success. Their previous title, Push Me Pull You, was a charmingly weird sports game where pairs of players control odd worm-like people with a head and arms at each side, cooperating to bring a giant ball into a goal while your opponents try and wrestle it away from you. It’s a fun experience, but very different from what would…

Greekgodx banned from Twitch for saying there’s two genders Belief in the ever expanding list of genders discovered by Tumblr scientists—such as agenderflux and gyraboy—now a requirement for the streaming platform.
Twitch has banned popular part-time livestreamer Greekgodx for stating that there are two genders. On Wednesday, Greek was live on Twitch – a rare occasion these days – and briefly mentioned SoundCloud’s sign-up options, which allows users to identify their gender as “other.” “It does ‘male,’ it does ‘female,’ it does ‘other,’ and it does ‘prefer to not say.’ Imagine having ‘other’ and ‘prefer to not say.’ What cucks are they fucking catering to now?” “Other? Fuck off,” Greek continued, “If you put ‘other,’ they should ‘sorry, SoundCloud is not for you, goodbye,’ and fucking delete you.” Judging from Greek’s sudden ban, Twitch staff members are among the “cucks” that…

Ice Poseidon reported to French police after livestreaming multiple hit-and-runs "Oh my God, you fucking banged into the guy"
Youtube streamer Ice Poseidon (Paul Denino) is doing an EU RV trip with his current collection of homeless adjacents, but the livestream event that was meant to save his dying career might very well cut his time in Europe short. Ice Poseidon is the last person you want driving a 5,000 pound vehicle (he is very sensitive about his driving skills, by the way), and unsurprisingly was unable to navigate it around France’s narrow streets without running into everything in sight. And of course, being your typical degenerate streamer, he promptly fled the scene. His friend, Tracksuit Andy, livestreamed the events: “Oh my God, you fucking banged into the guy,”…

Via Dexerto: One WoW streamer quickly got a hard dose of reality after he got into an explosive fight with his girlfriend on camera that brought the stream to a standstill as the argument got nastier by the second. While the streamer was in the middle of playing, the door behind him suddenly swung open as his girlfriend came in to give him a piece of her mind. “Out of all the fucking days!” she screamed, standing at the doorway. The female then confronted her boyfriend over what appeared him deciding if her friend could come over to visit. “Out of all the days to try and control who’s keeping…

Hasbro’s announces Ms. Monopoly, a game that pays women more than men for equality Equality, by the way.
Corporate woke feminism has claimed another one, and this time around it’s everybody’s classic family board game. Hasbro announced that in their new version of Monopoly, Ms. Monopoly, women get an extra $40 every time they pass “Go.” Ms. Monopoly is “a fun new take on the game that creates a world where women have an advantage often enjoyed by men,” the company said in a statement, according to CNN. “But don’t worry, if men play their cards right, they can make more money too.” Unlike the classic game, women will collect 240 Monopoly bucks when they pass "go," while male players will collect the usual 200. It's "a fun…

Misgendering this Borderlands 3 robot could get you banned It's a they/them, and failure to comply is hate speech.
Borderlands 3 is woke. Not only has its developer, Gearbox Studios, become a bastion of wokeness in the game industry, so too have its products become vehicles for the company’s progressive ideology — as exhibited in all the references to feminism and “toxic masculinity” in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. The company’s latest effort to promote social justice in video games comes in the form of a robotic character named FL4K (pronounced “flak”) who, strangely enough, has gender pronouns of its own. Much like Twitter’s pronouns-in-bio echo chamber, FL4K is a they/them. Normally, this shouldn’t matter. It’s a fictional character, and writers are free to do as they like with their creations.…

CliffyB: my game sucks because of gangstalkers from 4chan "Fun fact."
Radical Heights tanked — hard. The ambitious video game by Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski (better known as “CliffyB”) attempted to bank on the Battle Royale genre of video games, but it came out several years too late with too few features to set it apart from the crowd. It didn’t stand a chance against Fortnite, which it borrowed much of its aesthetic from — and offered too little to set it apart from the likes of the numerous other games that try, and fail, to dethrone Epic Games’ mega money maker. Instead of simply accepting failure, Bleszinski now blames Radical Heights’ failure on 4chan. In a series of…

“The mother of idiots is always pregnant.” That’s a classic Romanian saying and it seems that Planned Parenthood is clearly not doing its job any more. Consider a little game called Ion fury, where one of the developers was recently caught saying something so incredibly outrageous and shocking on Discord that you might want to take the children out of the room before you read on. “if you’re trying to decide the child is trans at birth you have mental problems and probably shouldn’t be a parent imo” Predictably the decent folk over at ResetEra started a harassment campaign against the monster.
