So here's a fun video: the politics of Untitled Goose Game. It's an interesting subject, as Goose Game creators House House are actually willing to publicly explain their political influences - unlike certain other games companies that may or may not get namedropped in the video!

We just wanted to say, thank you so much for supporting us. We've seen a lot of growth in terms of subscribers lately, which has been nice as we finally feel a bit vindicated in making these videos! We're hoping to push up to doing two videos a week in the near future, but it's going to take a little while to get there. Either way, it's all thanks to your support.

We're going to be renewing and revamping the Patreon in the new year - our big aim is to make some of our higher reward tiers more accessible, and to start new things including perhaps a weekly blog with unused video scripts (as we often write a lot more videos than we actually record).

If there's anything you'd like to see from the Patreon when we revamp it, let us know and we'll see what we can do :)

Lots of love,

BretonStripes, Kotor, and 4 Year Old Gamer (as she now prefers to be known!)

How Untitled Goose Game Became a Political Icon

In case you're lucky enough to not know, the United Kingdom is currently in the midst of a fairly depressing general election. If there's one bright ray of joy among endless bickering, it's the fact that the horrible goose from Untitled Goose Game has publicly declared their personal allegiance, and endorsed a major political party. It's just funny. The team at House House are a breath of fresh air in the gaming industry in that they're not afraid of talking about politics. Let's face it: politics are in all games to one degree or another; the difference is simply that House House are willing to actually talk about it, and go so far as to come up with a weird alternate political history for their game! We imagine the comments section for this video will be...interesting...but we don't really mind. We actually had a lot of fun making this video, and after a few missteps in a row, it's been nice to make something we enjoy. Thank you so much for all your kind words about our decision to pull our video about the disappearing Sonic movie interview - we're looking into perhaps returning to this subject in the near future, as an exploration of how fake news travels across the internet. In the meantime, here's hoping that you enjoy this video, and that you have fun with it rather than taking it too seriously. We've deliberately kept our own political opinions out of this video and attempted to portray the facts, quoting directly from House House without commentary. That said, we're not exactly coy about our own political leanings on Facebook, so make of that what you will. Anyway, here's hoping you enjoy this one! We'll see you again very soon!
