Wooo, that thing I tried not to think about all year is finally getting sent out soon. I will go back to not thinking about it until it's in my hands.

It's been a long week of playing Fortnite. So far I have; - Completed the main battle pass - Bought the Bart/Krusty bundles - Finished the ranked quests - Finished Week 1 of Springfield Stories - Done Week 1 of the Lego Brick Life quests - Completed the Rocket League Simpsons Challenges

I don't need it. It's not Simpsons content and I won't be playing Fortnite after November. Nope definitely won't get these skins. Nope. No way. Not happening. No no no. Nope

Epic did an amazing job with the Simpsons Island for Fortnite and I'm loving exploring the map and checking out all the easter eggs...but also

Finally completed the emote near a boss quest in Fortnite. That was a tedious RNG grind I could have done without. I drove around the map for several games with no luck, only to stumble across Witch Marge right near the end of a match.

Take that children/bots that I was likely playing against

Going to attempt to play some Fortnite/Simpsons in an hour. It might just be me starting at the lobby screen due to server issues. Or it could be me getting killed instantly by 12 year olds over and over. Tune in to find out I guess? youtube.com/live/2tM_lEn...

I ended up playing the Simpsons Fortnite event twice and must say, this season looks really good. Very excited to see the Simpsons back in video game form.

I'm writing the script for my Fortnite x The Simpsons video already, so I can record the details as they happen. I'm not loving engaging with Fortnite discourse tbh. It's quite difficult making sure the video doesn't turn into a rant about everything I don't like about modern online culture.

Oh hey the guy who makes the Simpsons games ranking videos I'm watching watches Giant Bomb! You should watch his videos too, they're great! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdN7...

There I was watching the latest Blight Club, only for my Simpsons videos and my channel to get mentioned by @tolkoto.com As someone who's watched Giant Bomb for years, including Blight Club since Day 1, it absolutely made my day. Amazing.

Looks like Simpsons in Fortnite will be next week. Actually getting quite excited about it now. www.vice.com/en/article/t...

@honestom23.bsky.social - Hey I loved your quest to get the lowest Pokemon Snap photo score. I’m very tempted to try to make the worst photo album possible and during my initial playthrough on NSO I sent this photo of a pestered drowning Psyduck to Oak and got a TEN. I can send it in better quality.

Good news, I'm officially selling out

It's almost here, 3 weeks away from having to play Gen Z brain rot.

Will be streaming some Virtual Springfield in about an hour, or 8pm UK time. If you want to see someone see a load of jokes that they've already seen multiple times, you're not going to want to miss it youtube.com/live/3GJt3Pb...

The knock back is a bit rough in Super Mario Galaxy 2 isn't it?

Beat Silent Hill f. It's hard to talk about the game properly on bluesky as it's not a case of it being good or bad. I can't recommend it or tell people to avoid it if you want to play it. It's a well polished, mess of a game filled with both great and awful ideas, executed both well and poorly.

It only took 30 years, but I've finally seen GoldenEye in the cinema. Excellent film, so many moments that just put a smile on my face.

Don't have a spare hour to check out Virtual Springfield for yourself? Well how about a 2 hour video covering the game instead? You're welcome www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_f2...

I'm open to a second Simpsons Movie. Modern Simpsons isn't great but can be creative and there are good ideas for episodes, it just doesn't come together to be all that worthwhile. Hopefully a film allows them to focus a bit more and let them give their all to make something really great.

I'm trying to find a photo of the back of the box for the Australian version of Virtual Springfield, to show that it was distributed by EA. There was a listing on eBay with a photo, but the person deleted their account so the photo is gone. I'm open to ideas of how to get one.

Achieved my goal and I'm now in full swing editing the Virtual Springfield video. Could end up being 2 hours but think it'll be a little bit less in the end. I'm away the next 3 days, so will hit it hard once I'm back.

My goal is weekend is to finish editing the VO for the Virtual Springfield episode and get back to editing the full video. It's very doable, if I can focus. I can hyper focus and edit video for hours, but audio editing? I can't go 5 minutes without distracting myself.

Discussed 007 First Light after the gameplay trailer over on the Bond Revisited podcast. Definitely got some mixed feelings on it so far www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaAo...

'Everyday we drift further away from God'

These Xbox layoffs seem absolutely brutal. I know it's sadly been a trend in the industry, but it's crazy it's still able to happen at this level. So many companies are attempting to make more money by reducing staff which will mean they release less games.

Childhood restored

N64 Game Developer #1: Our camera system isn't great and it keeps getting stuck on walls when the player tries to move the camera N64 Game Developer #2: Make it play a loud annoying noise whenever that happens, that will help N64 Game Developer #1: What an amazing idea, done and done

Game Manual Rants, Random Re-releases, Marge belching; the latest Ranking Every Simpsons Game video covering The Simpsons Cartoon Studio has it all and is out now www.youtube.com/watch?v=__ic...

I've finished editing the Cartoon Studio video. Will be tweaking it and rendering it a few more times as I always do, but I have a complete version of it. Aiming to publish it on Thursday, likely as a premiere.

007 Nightfire - Is the 'fire' referring to flames, so a fire at night, or someone shooting a weapon?

The Cartoon Studio video is coming together but it's one of those videos were I have to keep stopping as I edit, to double check stuff and make last minute updates. I'm about halfway through now, don't think I'll finish it for the weekend but honestly things are going well.

Can't wait to when I have to play Fortnite later this year. It's going to be lit and poggers fam no cap fr fr Very excited comicbook.com/gaming/news/...

Why don't devices that need a screen protector have one already applied? You can't not have one really but you have to buy one separately and they're so awkward to put on properly. On an unrelated note, I messed up putting the screen protector on my Switch 2 and can't get rid of the bubbles.

Switch 2 First Impressions - it's okay. The big screen looks really good, it definitely noticeably bigger than Switch 1. Played a bit of Mario Kart World and it's fun, I liked how many characters there are and it certainly does separate itself from MK8 with the tracks and it's style.

Waiting for that important dispatch email for my Switch 2. Got an email to confirm that I will get an email when it dispatches earlier in the week. I hope that first email wasn't lying, or else I will be sending an email saying that I'm going to send an email about not happy with the first email

IOI's James Bond game name officially announced ahead of full reveal this week www.eurogamer.net/iois-james-b...

Started playing Clair Obscur Expedition 33. I'm definitely enjoying it so far but it's hard not to feel it's being overhyped. It's good but feels like it's getting such high praise because it came from a lesser known studio and people like the story behind it, with it being AA and not AAA.

If I had to rank the Mission Impossible films it would go; Fallout MI III The Final Reckoning Rogue Nation Dead Reckoning Ghost Protocol MI MI 2 All great films which makes them hard to rank (apart from 2)

I very much enjoyed MI: Final Reckoning. Saw it in IMAX and it was just kinda nice watching a big spy thriller summer blockbuster at the cinema. Some people don't like the cinema as much nowadays but I always enjoy seeing a fun action film on the big screen and this ticked that box

Last week I finished the first draft of the Simpsons Cartoon Studio video script and started my final tweaks and updates. Since then I have completely fallen down a rabbit hole trying to figure out how many versions of the game released. I think there are 8 but I keep finding new ones.

Finished Andor Season 2. The first and second halves of that season are really night and day. First half has way too many characters, jumps around a lot and most of it feels like setup for the second half or just filler. Not awful but too cramped and kinda dull at times.

After 10 hours with Oblivion, I'm ready to move on. It was really cool it got shadowdropped, it looks great and it was a nice wave of nostalgia going back and experiencing this game again, warts and all. It was a bit weird and it's only gotten more weird as time goes on, in a good way.

If you look at the back of the Bart vs the World NES box, the screenshots from the game are from actual levels, but they replaced Bart with a weird 3D models. I assume they draw over Bart in the screenshots and added some shading to make him more 3D.

So each level of The Itchy & Scratchy Game has a hidden Scratchy Token, but I couldn't find the one in the final level when streaming and I can't find any guides online that say where they are. I guess I'm playing more of the game until I find that last token to solve this mystery. Sigh

Enjoyed hanging out during the premiere of my latest video, think I'll do it again at some point. If you missed it, here it is. An hour long breakdown of a forgotten Simpsons game www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J7z...
