Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

Phil Hartman as the Grinch, from a 1994 Behind the Scenes special on TNT. Not directly related to The Simpsons, but this clip was too good to not share, since Phil was a regular Simpsons guest star during this time.

Tonight Stekkjastaur, the first of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He likes to sneak into the sheep shed to drink milk from the ewes.
All the children put a shoe in the window for him to put a treat or a little gift in – if they have been good! The bad children get a potato.

Lost my Animal Crossing save so I started a new island last month. Telling myself to take it slow, trying not to min/max everything and burn out by being a turnip day trader. We’ll see how long it lasts.
