— Ace You've long had the fantasy of piloting a goat, right?
Sure. Who hasn't.
Well April Fools Day is your lucky day then.
"Goat Simulator is the latest in goat simulation technology, bringing next-gen goat simulation to you," Coffee Stain Studios writes. "You no longer have to fantasize about being a goat, your dreams have finally come true!"
They also call it a "stupid, small, broken game," and brag that the game has "millions" of bugs and glitches in it, but they're leaving them in anyway, to enhance the Goat Simulation, or whatever. (They say they'll fix the game-breaking glitches but the rest will stay in.)
What might you do as a goat? Well, you do the same thing as you do in every other game: You move around, destroy objects and vehicles, and kill people. (Though the creator says the inert bodies you leave behind are merely "sleeping.") The goat headbutts things until they explode, the explosion sometimes launching him into flight, and you set people on fire by headbutting barbecues into them.
Then you go to the town's zero-g simulator because, well, of course it has one.
You can also carry around heavy objects by licking them with your tongue. Because your tongue sticks to them, and then you can carry things around and kill people with them.
The way goats do.
Below, the official launch video for what people are calling (in a Sharknado-like way) "the greatest video game ever made."
And here's some gameplay with the Goat Simulator, with simultaneous interview of the creator. At 4:23, the creator shows off the "Tall Goat" mode, which is worth watching.
You can throw ten dollars away here, if you gotta get your goat on.

Clearly Steam needs to get in on a deal with Rosetta Stone, and set up achievements for learning the language. First Achievement - Potty Break: You have learned how to ask 'Where is the bathroom?' in a foreign language.

Maryland to dump its ObamaCare exchange
MD spent $125 million in an effort to enroll 150,000 people. Essentially $1000/person projected transaction cost (actual is running $2500, and cost will expand as the system will be replaced with a copy of CT's before the next enrollment period. The waste is humungous. A catastrophic policy should only be $1200/yr. The ACA needs to be killed with fire.

Not to mention any names or initials, but I was at the graduation ceremony the other night for the military's technical graduate school. The titles and brief descriptions of the PhD dissertations were published in the program. There were, I think, 11 PhD's awarded, and either two or three of them were devoted to solving the very small vortex issues of high-power controlled flight using flapping wings.
We all knew they were coming soon to a bedroom window near you, but I suspect we'll see this applied to larger scales too.

Until they reach maturity and chew your face off while giving you rabies. But yeah, they're *completely* adorable as babies. Too bad about the becoming adults part.
Posted by: Polliwog the 'Ette at March 29, 2014 02:52 PM (GDulk)
They don't even have to grow up to be dangerous. Not only can kits carry rabies, but a high percentage of the raccoon population, of all ages, carries the "raccoon roundworm" parasite, which is either fatal or will cause severe brain damage when transmitted to humans. The eggs are shed in the feces, so it's not just the animals themselves, but also their "latrines" that are highly dangerous.
Raccoons are cute, but after reading up on them they scare the heck out of me.

It gets worse. Even the runoff from the latrines carries the eggs. There was a case where water passed through a raccoon latrine and then onto a playground, and multiple children were infected, fatally.
The only way to deal with a trapped raccoon is by hiring a professional removal service, and they will probably show up in hazmat suits with a big trap, and then have to scrape up the dirt where the raccoon did its business during incarceration.
Or they will just take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's really the only way to be sure.

Back in 1985, when Ikea opened its first store in the US, I upgraded my book shelving from bricks and boards to Ivar, which is a solid pine, adjustable and expandable shelving system from Ikea. I still have those shelves; they are indestructible. Now they line my garage and shed/workshop. They can hold huge amounts of weight without sagging and come in a variety of heights and widths. Plus, compared to other commercially available shelving, they are still pretty cheap.
Most Ikea furniture is particle board and falls apart pretty quickly, but I cannot recommend the Ivar too highly.
