Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge: A Simpsons Gaming Podcast

BONUS: Q&A Episode!

Do we hear the sound of BUTTING in? It's gotta be little Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge answering the questions OUR LISTENERS did ask! That's right, we put down the controllers this month so we could answer your questions! We tackled everything from our favorite vehicles from Hit & Run to which characters we'd like to see in Super Smash Bros. to which Simpsons beverage is the best. (Spoiler: That last one gets contentious.) -Derek's Other Projects- Gimmicks: Bluesky: ⁠⁠‪⁠@gimmickspod.bsky.social‬⁠ [https://bsky.app/profile/gimmickspod.bsky.social] Where to Listen: ⁠⁠glitterjaw.com/gimmicks⁠⁠ [https://www.glitterjaw.com/gimmicks] Walloping Websnappers: Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠@wallopingwebpod.bsky.social‬⁠ [https://bsky.app/profile/wallopingwebpod.bsky.social] Web: ⁠⁠⁠wallopingwebsnappers.com⁠⁠⁠ [https://wallopingwebsnappers.wordpress.com/] Skreeonk!

#28 - The Simpsons: Minutes to Meltdown and Itchy & Scratchy Land

Did you know that before EA produced the popular iOS and Android title The Simpsons: Tapped Out (and before tapping out of making Simpsons games forever) the company produced two J2ME Mobile titles just two years apart? The Carvallo boys take on 2007's The Simpsons: Minutes to Meltdown and 2008's The Simpsons: Itchy & Scratchy Land and try not to meltdown as they discuss a brief history of EA. - Take our collective-wide survey - Survey Link: bit.ly/GlitterjawPodSurvey [https://bit.ly/GlitterjawPodSurvey] -Derek's Other Projects- Gimmicks: Bluesky: ⁠⁠‪⁠@gimmickspod.bsky.social‬⁠ [https://bsky.app/profile/gimmickspod.bsky.social] Where to Listen: ⁠⁠glitterjaw.com/gimmicks⁠⁠ [https://www.glitterjaw.com/gimmicks] Walloping Websnappers: Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠@wallopingwebpod.bsky.social‬⁠ [https://bsky.app/profile/wallopingwebpod.bsky.social] Web: ⁠⁠⁠wallopingwebsnappers.com⁠⁠⁠ [https://wallopingwebsnappers.wordpress.com/] Skreeonk!

#27 - The Simpsons Game Part II

What do Dance Dance Revolution, Medal of Honor, Futurama, Will Shakespeare, Hillary Clinton, Pokémon, ironic racism, Will Wright (creator of SimCity and The Sims) and God all have in common? If you guessed they all make cameos in 2007's The Simpsons Game ... you're wrong! They're actually integral plot elements, characters, or thematic backdrops for stages in what can only be described as the most self-referential, metatextual, and culturally aware Simpsons game to date. The Carvallo boys take a look at the last two-thirds of this game that lives and dies on it's awareness that it is a game. Plus, come with us on a nostalgic stroll through one of the best year's in gaming history. -Derek's Other Projects- Gimmicks: Bluesky: ⁠⁠‪⁠@gimmickspod.bsky.social‬⁠ [https://bsky.app/profile/gimmickspod.bsky.social] Where to Listen: ⁠⁠glitterjaw.com/gimmicks⁠⁠ [https://www.glitterjaw.com/gimmicks] Walloping Websnappers: Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠@wallopingwebpod.bsky.social‬⁠ [https://bsky.app/profile/wallopingwebpod.bsky.social] Web: ⁠⁠⁠wallopingwebsnappers.com⁠⁠⁠ [https://wallopingwebsnappers.wordpress.com/] Skreeonk!

#25 - The Simpsons Game Part I

Can the Simpsons game that knows it's a Simpsons game capture the essence of The Simpsons? The Carvallo Boys look to answer that question as they tackle part one of the most self-referential and metatextual game to date—2007's The Simpsons Game! Plus, we take a look at the landscape of The Simpsons from 2003 through 2007—a period that brought with it ambitious swings and some truly rough episodes. -Derek's Other Projects- Gimmicks: Bluesky: ⁠⁠‪⁠@gimmickspod.bsky.social‬⁠ [https://bsky.app/profile/gimmickspod.bsky.social] Where to Listen: ⁠⁠glitterjaw.com/gimmicks⁠⁠ [https://www.glitterjaw.com/gimmicks] Walloping Websnappers: Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠@wallopingwebpod.bsky.social‬⁠ [https://bsky.app/profile/wallopingwebpod.bsky.social] Web: ⁠⁠⁠wallopingwebsnappers.com⁠⁠⁠ [https://wallopingwebsnappers.wordpress.com/] Skreeonk!
