Ahh, Goose Game. It's turned into an Internet Thing, at this point, a Meme if you will, but Brynne and I were on this game before it was cool! And speaking of Brynne, we played the vast majority of this together, and had a very entertaining and stealthy and goosey time. Goosey is a thing right?

You are a goose in small-town England, right out of Hot Fuzz. It's a peaceful day in the village, and you are a vindictive goose out to terrorize the locals. You work your way through several areas of the town with a trusty checklist of being a real spotted dick - stealing glasses, breaking property, locking people in garages, posing for applause... okay that last one wasn't that mean but it was still funny. As you work down your checklist of nefarious deeds, new areas will open up and you will wreak havoc on a new group of folks.

Each area has some mini story to tell about the folks that stay there, and they're all pretty entertaining. My favorite is probably a pair of neighbors who clearly butt-heads regularly, as anything you do out of sight will cause one to start yelling the other and blaming them haha... There's also a moment in each segment where after you've caused enough havoc, the owner will bust out a No-Goose sign and hammer it down in the yard and proceed to chase you off. At first you will think "How did everyone have these goose signs ready?!" but oh no, there's payoff to that!

The game has certain stealth elements to it as well, as you are unable to fight off or manipulate the people you run across physically so there's some sneaking and hiding elements as well. Metal Goose Solid is a running gag on the internet right now and it's not too far off in my estimation. Hopefully in the sequel we'll get to meet the Goose's lost rival, whose wing is a transplant of the Goose's brother while standing on top of a metal gear shouting BROTHERRRRRRR... if only we can get so lucky.

So I guess I can wrap this up with only one thing to say: I blame it on the juice, I blame it on that Goose baby.
