I struck up a conversation and asked her what she was doing at the hotel and she told me that she had organised a conference at the hotel with all the big players in the world to talk about green energy and sustainability. She asked me what I do and I said: I made Goat Simulator. It's a video game about being a goat." She walked away before I could even tell her about multiplayer and our latest DLC Show less Reply ) 134 replies
