What’s happening everyone? Alex Danger here, bringing you the latest edition of Gamepedia’s YouTube Roundup! This week marks a significant milestone in gaming history, as a farm animals manage to steal the spotlight and the imaginations of game loving adults around the world. This week’s videos feature Goat Simulator, a sandbox destruction sim with loads of modding potential, some updates on Nether gameplay, and a brief trailer for LEGO Minifigures Online: Pirate World! Here we go!
For anyone that doesn’t know, Goat Simulator started off a joke, but quickly grew into a viral video game. This game is awesome, it pleases a pleasure center I didn’t even know I had, one geared towards goat related destruction and the respective amusement associated with it. The best part about it is the fact that we only have one map right now, with many, many more on the way. We’re currently running a Goat Simulator Contest, in which users can submit a map of their own design via the Steam Workshop. The winner of this contest will have their map featured at the Curse booth during E3 in a couple of months! We’re also holding a giveaway for 30 copies of this insane game for free! It doesn’t last long though, you have just under 24 hours so enter both contests. Good luck!
Nether is another addition to the rapidly expanding zombie survival game genre. Form your troop and rally the tribe as you vie for survival in a post apocalyptic city. This week’s Nether video shows gameplay within an urban setting, where you search through rusty cars and ravaged shops in search of resources, all while battling various types of mutants and other players. We’re currently holding a contest to give out 50 full game keys, you can feel free to enter, here.
Lastly, a featured presentation of the LEGO Minifigures Online: Pirate World trailer! Set sail for loot as you battle for riches on the blocky seas. God forbid you trip and cram a tiny 4×4 piece between your toes because dang that hurts, a mechanic I assume is integral to defeating any of the in-game bosses. Coming out some time in 2014, LEGO Online is approaching the MMORPG genre from a completely different angle. How it will be received is anyone’s guess, but boy does it make me nostalgic!
That’s it for this week! But with WildStar doing a round of open beta this weekend and some other crazy stuff sure to surface from Goat Simulator be sure to stay tuned.
