R.I.P

 

WormrotGoat.jpg

 

A few years back, the above picture of a goat inexplicably watching a Wormrot show surfaced online. With it came a mystique that mated it with the stuff of extreme metal lore. But as fantastic as the image—and the others that followed—was, the question wasn’t “what’s the context?” but “does it matter?”

 

Now that there’s word the goat has died, the answer to the second question is yes.

 

Noisey traced word of the goat’s death on Facebook to a French farm called Mauriac, which doubles as a DIY venue, to get the full story. The short version is this: Biquette was a ten-year-old, tobacco loving goat that just wanted to feel the vibrations of the venue’s heavy music rumbling through her hooves.

 

The long version is even more incredible. According to Flo, the French farm’s promoter, Bisquette barely escaped the slaughterhouse and instead ended up at Mauriac, and while there were concerns over her being surrounded by such violent music, it seems like it was a choice made entirely by her own free will.

 

“If she wanted to leave from in front of the stage, she would have done it all by herself!” said Flo.

 

And she has the stories to prove it.

 

“I remember that during Panzer Cardinal (a band from Toulouse) she spent the entire set at the bassist’s feet (who, by the way, was hallucinating a bit),” she said. “Seeing as the barn floor where we throw the concerts is wooden, I think that she felt the vibrations in her hooves. The majority of the time she even laid down next to the speakers.”

 

Adding that she was “the most connected to grind,” Flo says that Biquette also enjoyed eating cigarette butts and drinking the ends of leftover beers. In short: she was pretty fucking cool.

 

Her death remains a bit of a mystery, though Flo attributes it to a jarring change of pace at the Mauriac after a new team took over, but generally speaking goats don’t live much older than ten, and between the booze, cigarettes and grindcore, Biquette lived harder than most.

 

R.I.P., Biquette, and may your legacy live on in infamy.

CATLATERAL DAMAGE, OPEN ALPHA

 

Catlateral Damage is a first person mischievous cat simulator, where your objective is to knock as many of your loving owners belongings onto the floor within a 2 minute time limit.

 

It’s a fun little game, and there’s a lot of satisfaction to be had from knocking things over and making a mess (That’s probably why cats do it in the first place!). The dev plans to add more levels (rooms) to destroy, but at the Alpha gives you free rein to destroy your owners bedroom for 2 mins. On your marks… get set… destroy!!

 

UPDATE:

 

 

The dev (Chris Chung) has now put the game on Steam Greenlight and is planning to add more levels, more items to destroy, new gameplay modes (including stealth mode), better graphics, sfx and music, achievements and Occulus Rift support!

TOEJAM AND EARL 3, UNRELEASED DREAMCAST BETA

 

A Beta for the unreleased Dreamcast game, Toejam and Earl 3 has been unearthed and is now available to download! ZahookiTM found the files lurking inside an old Dreamcast Devkit that he bought off ebay, and has very nicely released the game, free for us all to play.

 

The game plays quite similarly to the original toejam & Earl games but in glorious 3D, it controls well, features 3 playable characters and still retains the sense of humour of the originals.

 

As it was still in development, there are no cutscenes, you just begin at the start of the map and go to the elevator to reach the next level. Levels 1 to 9 are stable, with levels above that becoming more unstable and crashing quite often.

 

It’s an interesting curio from Sega’s history, and we’d highly recommend grabbing a copy of it before they get wind of it and shut ZahookiTM down. You can use an emulator or just burn the image to a disk and play it on your Dreamcast (as it was meant to be played!)
