Fortunately I could stop the video before I saw the goat die.

Everywhere I've read they're meant to be killing the goats.

What's up with the goats? Is this some US Government experiment thing from the 60s or something? In No One Lives Forever (one of my favorite PC games...) they have a bunch of jokes and allusions to goats:



Anyone care to enlighten me?

There was a British documentary about this (think it went hand in hand with the book) which I saw a couple years ago on Youtube. Weird stuff but not as cornbally as this movie looks. That said, can't wait.

KG, would you say the first NOLF is as good as the 2nd? I've played the sequel but not the first.

Just soi you know, the goats that were used were likely a breed that are known to pass out in times of stress. I'm sure no goats were harmed.

I think it was a government project sometimes in the 60s where they were trying to develop soldiers who could control things with their minds or something.

Apparently they had the soldiers in one room concentrating on a goat in another room, and one of the goats collapsed.

Saw this tonight, it was pretty funny. Though there was a lot of mention of Star Wars stuff for an Ewen McGregor movie that isnt star wars.

The second has more refined gameplay and they fixed some of the annoying stealth issues. But the first game is much funnier, has a better story, better characters, better exchanges of dialog, better jokes, and a better atmosphere IMO.

So from a gameplay standpoint I'd probably rank NOLF2 slightly higher but if you enjoy dialog and wit the first game is better.
