Goat Simulator Post Mortem

While I do seriously think that Goat Simulator is one of the most underrated games-as-art works of our time, my main take-home message from the postmortem is:

If you take a perfectly sensible game development sentence and replace one of the nouns with a goat, it becomes intrinsically funny.

Assassin's Goat. Sid Meier's Goat. Grand Theft Auto Goat. The Elder Goat: Skyrim. You Don't Know Goat. These would, in general, be a hoot.

The best about this is that for those multi-worded titles, you can create a different goatified name for every single noun (and most adjectives) and imagine a surprisingly different goat-game for each version.

Goat Space Program, Kerbal Goat Program, Kerbal Space Goat. Goats of the Old Republic, Knights of the Old Goat, Knights of the Goat Republic. Sins of a Goat Empire. Sins of a Solar Goat. Goats of a Solar Empire. Goat War: Rome. Total War: Goat. Total Goat: Rome.

Each of the variations tells the condensed story of an entirely different imaginary goat-game and all of them are good (the stories, not necessarily the games).

I met the same thing before, only with movies instead of games and Jesus instead of goat. Had an IRC channel full of people who don't mind religious jokes running for hours.

Shit, I'd instantly buy a mod for GTA:VC/SA turning Vercetti/CJ into a goat.

Damn, I should have made Apples vs. Goats instead of Apples vs. Robots. (Yeah, shameless plug: http://applesvsrobots.com/)

Apples are not funny. Potatoes are.
