My favorite piece of Goose Game fanart so far is this one: https://i.redd.it/wbts33d7u6u31.jpg https://i.redd.it/wbts33d7u6u31.jpg A bad goose variation on https://i.imgur.com/WPuSziL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/WPuSziL.jpg It's a simple and hilarious game. Haven't finished it yet, but strongly recommend to anyone who's on the fence.

Hadn't seen that second link before. Just lost my good boy a month ago. Thanks for the unexpected (happy) office tears

  Seriously! We said goodbye to our good ol' fat labrador maybe 10 months ago, and this still immediately choked me up... Ugh they leave such a great impression on you. Miss you Joe.

  2 years since I lost my girl (18 years with me!), still hard as f*. I'll forever miss my baby.

if this isn't the work of a viral marketing company, they certainly have the possibility of a new line of work ahead of them after this. I can't remember seeing a viral marketing campaign as effective as this in a long time. edit: this comment is apparently oddly controversial for a startup-oriented forum. Perhaps someone could explain why? They have really struck marketing gold in a way most small companies would envy.

  It nearly got me to purchase something on the Epic Store. Nearly.

    FWIW I’m playing on Switch. It’s a great format for a little game like this.

    * Make a tribute to coffee mugs in the middle of the office * Make a developer spit their coffee out. * Preside over the morning's stand-up. * Force SketchySeaBeast to buy something on the Epic Store * Lock somebody out of their office. * Water the office plants.

    I bought Outer Worlds on the Epic store. Bah. I don't like the Epic store but I really wanted to play that game. Game is awesome, I'm really not sure what deal ensured it wouldn't be on Steam.
    - SketchySeaBeast 7y ago
      I think that a lot of these are all coming to steam a year after launch - I'll wait until then. I've been finding it very rare that I need to play a game day one these days.
      - potta_coffee 7y ago
        I haven't bought a game this close to launch in years. A bunch of my friends bought Outer Worlds and vouched for how awesome it is, so I caved and bought it. IMO it's really great so far, the dialog choices are quite entertaining. I think this game might be an instant classic.

      You could've gotten TOW for $1 on the Microsoft store through gamepass.

Between this game, Disco Elisium, Control and The Outer Worlds, it's a very busy season for great new game franchises. Wish I had the time for them all. And Death Stranding is just around the corner!

  Are these franchises?
  - monocasa 7y ago
    The term 'franchise' is mutated a bit in the game industry. They're new games that don't have anything to do with previous games (not a sequel, remake, prequel, etc.) so they're new franchises.
    - cdirkx 7y ago
      I have mostly seen this be named IPs (intellectual property), as in "studio X confirms it is working on a new IP". I guess 'franchise' also works nowadays, as for any succesful game it will be profitable to make a sequel/spinoff/eventual remaster.
    - smcl 7y ago
      Ahhh, thanks! I had no idea "new franchise" would be used even if it wasn't obviously the first in a series of games.

  Oh, Disco Elysium was such a special experience. Haven't played anything as well written and unique since Planescape: Torment.

That goose-version of the comic is (almost) in the loss format.

  Honestly, of all internet memes (meme's?, I'm too old for this) that were meta'd until they died, the loss comic and the meta- levels it took on were actually quite impressive.

OT, but I’m very confused by all the “More on Imgur” posts on the page you linked showing image after image of illegal drug use? But at least it’s not NSFW?!
