#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 Where to Listen: ⁠⁠glitterjaw.com/gimmicks⁠⁠ Walloping Websnappers: Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠@wallopingwebpod.bsky.social‬⁠ Web: ⁠⁠⁠wallopingwebsnappers.com⁠⁠⁠ Skreeonk!
