Tis the season to return to the Goosebumps video game universe! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZHb...

News from me! Last week was my last week at Double Fine. It was an exciting time and I am very grateful to have learned so much at a beloved studio. This means I am looking for work! If you need someone with social media/community expertise, please reach out. Eager to start a fresh adventure!

It only took twentyish years, but I'm stoked to see comprehensive coverage of Simpsons video games from folks like @bartofdarkness.bsky.social and @glitterjaw.bsky.social! Whether you're showering them with praise or raking them over the coals, each one is our special little video game guy.

New LEE CARVALLO's PODDING CHALLENGE gushes about the PC walking simulator and overlooked gem, Virtual Springfield! Plus, we discuss the landscape of The Simpsons in 1997, including season 8 and 9 episodes and the infamous Simpsons House Giveaway. On all podcast apps: glitterjaw.com/lee-carvallo

Also available on itch io: goodolvic.itch.io/bart-vs-my-h...

Just in time for the holidays, my book "Bart vs. My Hopes and Dreams: Looking Back at Thirty Years of Video Games Based on The Simpsons" is now available as a paperback and ebook on Amazon! Check it out: www.amazon.com/Bart-vs-My-H...

This brings me joy. This is specifically a Simpsons video game podcast, and they dug into sales/shipping numbers from the Mark Flitman papers in the VGHF Library! We're giving people the resources to become historians

I love 1) how much the writer seems to love his wife 2) how he describes Mario as "the little plumber from Brooklyn"

In Mansion of a Million Monsters, you get to unmask the culprit at the end of each case! It won't actually always be the Butler. OR will it??? (no, I'm being told that's a very bad idea and not to do that) wishlist ➡️ store.steampowered.com/app/3627210/ #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame

I wrote a thing again✨

For those who don't know why some localization companies withhold staff credits, it's so: 1) devs who think loc staff did a good job won't hire them independently 2) other loc companies can't poach them 3) contractors can't find each other to compare notes 4) company brand is elevated above people

We're all tired of corporate overlords, aren't we? Do what you gotta do etc. but I figured I could at least have a backup copy of the main video series over on Internet Archive, ad-free and unburdened by the hanging axe of copyright strikes. archive.org/search?query...

When worlds collide !!! Frankenberry (still a work in progress) meets Frankenstein!!! This was the special, black and white variant of Frank that was available exclusively to my PATREON followers.

Hello there !!! I make these ...

There's also a character guide that features key art allowed for use in Simpsons merchandise and marketing materials. The Simpsons arcade devs went with "Crazy Skinner" to show up in the Dreamland level, even though it's supposed to be a hallucination of Bart's from the episode "Bart the Genius."

More VGHF points of interest. They have scans from a Simpsons style guide sent to Konami to specify how characters need to be drawn/shown etc. Very likely this was sent to other companies for things like merch guidelines. This key art was used as the title screen for Bart VS. the Space Mutants.

Looked at the @bossfightbooks.com catalog re: the vital licensed game realm. Solid entries: Greatest story ever told A D&D campaign Disney weirdos hanging with anime weirdos An even longer time ago in a galaxy far, far away A v accurate sportsball simulation The suave spy man who shot everyone

Ok, I got another great find from @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social! It's a 109 page document of model sheets for Konami's Bart's House of Weirdness for DOS. This should be of particular interest to @bobservo.bsky.social since he's review this game. archive.gamehistory.org/item/2e50c6c...

My favorite thing I've found so far in the video game history archive from @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social The pitch document of the canceled game Monster Dunk. The Hunchbacks of Notre Dunk deserve to be known by the world. archive.gamehistory.org/item/13861e9...

he’s here!!! orders are shipping out tomorrow!!

The new @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social online library is a wonderland of vital minutiae. archive.gamehistory.org/item/4b3de65...

There's a new little guy around here.

Once again diving down the Simpsons Hit & Run vortex and I see more interviews with the developers, but none with the Vivendi people who might know why the sequel was cancelled. Those Vivendi people are still around. It's a question that can be answered. www.ign.com/articles/the...

I'm taking a break from YouTube to work on other secret things but I am archiving everything and it reminded me just how much I did in the past five years. Here's a recap thread of all the series I've looked at:

A (sickly) Saturday at home 🤧 #gameboy #goosebumps #retrogaming

Congrats to @simpsonstheory.bsky.social and @bartofdarkness.bsky.social for taking on the vast ocean of Simpsons stuff in Collecting the Simpsons! It's a thoughtful look at the history of the show and its mountains of merchandise. I recommend it. store.mangopublishinggroup.com/products/col...

Once again reminded of a werewolf movie I watched in a theater in the 80s when I was too young for it. The one scene stuck in my brain is a werewolf standing underneath some power lines during a thunderstorm. In the off chance it crossed your path, does it sound familiar @silverscream.bsky.social?

This week we discuss The Spirit of the Beehive, a beautiful slice-of-life drama about rural life in Francoist Spain. Plus there’s a Frankenstein! Join us.
