Don't know why you would need an hour of arguing about when the Simpsons got bad to do an analysis of Hit and Run when like 2 sentences is all you need for context. He's right though Hit and Run is a game I loved as a kid that has probably aged terribly, and you can safely ignore the opinions of anyone who thinks Principal and the Pauper ruined Simpsons.

The main thing I remember about Hut and Run is that you could hop into the burned-out husks of exploded cars and drive them around. They went incredibly slowly and made horrific metal-grinding-on-pavement noises as they moved.

Oddly enough that's actually the opinion of the essay's weirdly lengthy digression into The Simpsons quality decline, it just kind of gets lost because it comes in the latter half of a needlessly long digression. I like Soup Emporium's output and think there's some decent stuff in this video, but it definitely could have done with a more aggressive pass in the editing room.

the decline of the simpsons happened because the show went on too long the writers ran out of ideas and now its just a brand and not a show you watch its just boring safe slop to consume not any one person or episode caused it its just been wrung dry of any creativity and furthermore simpsons road rage is the superior game

In a few years the Simpsons will start to feature online personalities like SuperEyepatchWolf and TurkeyTom.

Bone was the staple comic to pick out from my middle school's library, certified classic.

Bone is extremely cursed because I feel like every time anyone tried to adapt it to anything else the project went down in flames

I think a lot of people who have pithy explanations for why The Simpsons declined know a lot less about the production and behind the scenes stuff about the first eight or so seasons then they think they do. Four different people or groups of people ran the show over the course of the first eight years. It wasn't one writer's room in one configuration for eight+ seasons straight. When you watch the Golden age in order you can really tell that it wasn't really one show, and we only remember it as one coherent show from nostalgia and shuffled reruns. Content, related: TheRealJims does great, sober videos about The Simpsons that range from conceptual essays to character studies and stuff. Pro click. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhwjY_8AvIs

We gave Bone to Space Cadet for Christmas and she read the whole thing in a few days, has reread it since, and has started writing/drawing a crossover fanfic with Gravity Falls.

Simpsons Hit and Run is Blockbustercore to me. Naming it as an actually good game in 2024 is just nostalgia but by the standards of licensed games you beat in one rental it's better than average.

pentyne posted:it's also insane because this attitude is less then a century old. It was created in the 50s and 60s more or less by modern media marketing. I can assure you, this attitude is way older than a century. Hell, I'm reading a book about the history of ritualized streetfighting in Renaissance Venice which is basically if WWE, Fight Club and stupid-rear end gender roles were combined. And it was actually real!

Tell her she's a nerd from me! Just joshing, glad she's got a good taste in media.

It has the same feel as people who insist that one Spongebob Squarepants game is genuinely good because it’s the only game they had as a kid.

Not every game that you liked when you were 8 years old was good, unless it was WCW/NWO Revenge on the Nintendo 64.

both battle for bikini bottom and hit and run are perfectly decent 7/10s that got blown out of proportion by people whose parents only bought them licensed games and not mario

One year my Taiwanese cousin who barely spoke English came over for a few weeks and we couldn't really talk so we would just sit around playing WCW/NWO Revenge and communicate, in the squared circle.
