Move over, Warcraft: Goat Simulator goes massive, and multiplayer

By Will Fulton Published November 18, 2014

The marvelously (intentionally) glitchy, ragdoll physics playground Goat Simulator is getting a free DLC patch that turns it into a glitchy, ragdoll physics fantasy massively multiplayer RPG simulator. Rain goat-fueled chaos down up on a fantasy kingdom replete with castles, peasants and fish people.

Play as one of five irreverent character classes: Tank, Rouge, Hunter, Magician or Microwave. The kingdom is full of quests and foes for you to tackle as you work your way up to level 101. “Prolly not tons of content tho, but don’t hate be cool,” according to the update’s Steam page. “There are even elves and dwarves like in that movie.”

Google Play is copying one of the Nintendo Switch’s handiest features

Sidekick can now save the previous 30 seconds of an Android game after something worth recording has already happened

Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.

Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.

You can now play Zelda and Mario Kart on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, no emulator needed

An open-source project brings Switch games like Zelda, Mario, and Metroid to Apple devices without an emulator, but getting everything running takes some work.

Imagine tapping a Zelda icon on your iPhone and jumping straight into Hyrule. A new open-source project called nxnative makes that possible by repackaging Switch games you’ve bought into apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with no emulator in the middle.

Why does this run so well on Apple devices?
