Here’s Untitled Goose Game’s goose in its most terrifying role to date
If you've yet to finish up your PC playthrough of Resident Evil 2 because you've been too distracted by the antics of a certain renegade goose, I have wonderful, if a tad unsettling, news. A PC mod now replaces Resident Evil 2's terrifying Mr. X with an even scarier sight: the goose from Untitled Goose Game.As Goose has swiftly become one of gaming's most devilishly delinquent characters, it seems a natural progression to bring the bird to Raccoon City, particularly as the modder behind this particular mash-up also brought us the nightmare fuel that was the Thomas the Tank Engine mod, too.While yet to be formally released, you can see the mod in action on modder ZombieAli's Twitter account. I'm delighted to confirm that yes, Goose retains the Fedora "because he is just so fancy like that" and yes, the final version will "include extra HONKS".

Thus the "Münchener Illustrierte Presse" of July 16 described it (with illustrations) as a kind of institute where politically misguided men are being trained to become good citizens. They are seen drilling and working in a way that suggests a healthy and a disciplined but not overstrenuous life. The truth is that this camp is in no sense a model, although it is no worse than many of the Hitlerite concentration camps. The following details of the organisation and routine have come into the possession of your correspondent:- The number of prisoners (according to the September list) is 2,200-2,400. Of these about fifty are intellectuals, a few are members of the middle class, without any political affiliations, fifty or sixty are Nazis, about sixty are Jews, about five hundred are Socialists, two are army officers (Catholics and members of the Bavarian People's party), there are several beggars and … [Read more...] about Dachau concentration camp
