Neat

[@silveranime]

As someone who grew up with the games, the sheer amount of Blueballing from Vinny NOT clicking on every wacky thing he could was HORRIBLE.

[@warnegoodman]

I had never seen that game before, but as soon as I saw the backgrounds were interactable it frustrated me that he was playing it WRONG

[@maricampari3970]

This. Absolutely this.

[@knoxrobbins]

Former animator on New Bob here. It was my first industry job. During the Christmas I worked on it, the team I was on was down to three artists crunching into the night and the supervisor was absent dealing with an insurance lawsuit. Directors judged me for falling asleep during a meeting that literally stopped dead at its tracks for 40 minutes. Clients reviewed one episode's work and responded to the effect of "these wankers don't know what they're doing!" My worst experiences came from my earliest jobs. By now, after the Sausage Party allegations at another studio, most places I work in are more aware and understanding of the well being of artists.

[@DrNotnert]

Actual Devin chat moment. Glad to hear that animators are actually starting to be treated like humans these days though. What was it like animating for New Bob? Did you care for the show, or was it just another job?

[@knoxrobbins]

@@DrNotnert At the end of the day it was a preschool show, it was what it was. I learned a lot thru that first job and there were plenty of animators and few directors on that project who were good working with. It's easy to reflect on what went wrong and how not to introduce experience to an artist who needed it.

[@effluviah7544]

@@knoxrobbins Thanks for sharing your experience on the project!

[@amentco8445]

​@@HamazuraGODanimators put through crunch for the masterpiece (I kid) Sausage Party. That's what I remember about it, anyway.

[@knoxrobbins]

@@HamazuraGOD Short version: Sausage Party was in production at another company the same time I was animating New Bob. The stories I hear varies from good to bad experiences, but the owner of the studio was also the co-director and from what I understand was taking out his frustrations on some animators - including intimidation and blacklist threats. What is confirmed is that the studio used a "high tech exclusion" (it was created for tech companies) to loophole out of paying animators overtime. The studio I did New Bob in and other animation companies were also using the exclusion at the time. Years after, the BC provincial and Canadian government branches ruled that animators are exempt from the exclusion and are entitled to overtime pay.

[@beingsactual]

And concedes "gratuitous thigh" a few minutes after.

[@kyrridas1573]

"WE are the problem, chat members" and just to reinforce the point, he hits us with the "Grandma. Came." but hes not wrong though.

[@LuckyPunkProd]

The appearance of Little Critter hit my nostalgia like a fucking brick. That was my childhood!

[@Amiculi]

Opposite for me, I always found the Little Critter thing gross. That black, stringy hair that looked like something out of those Scary Story books and their ambiguous species was just so off-putting. Same for the Berenstain Bears, their mouths made me nauseous and I can't explain why.

[@Sprech41]

i was oddly fascinated with these games as a kid. i don't think i learned anything, i just liked seeing the funny pictures move

[@sonozaki0000]

It might be like how its important to give babies toys that respond to their actions (make noise, move, etc.), to give them confidence in their ability to affect things. That developing desire to make things happen is the building block to becoming independent. Your lil fella brain must have really enjoyed that you could make the pictures move all by yourself!!

[@kirby2567]

I mean click word> word gets said> child repeats it It's rudimentary interactive reading at a formative age and fairly genuine

[@Ivanhoenn]

I know everyone has the funny haha about the games, but the little critter game was such a visceral core memory for me that I teared up a little. Thanks for reminding me of this biny :^)

[@funnyscares595]

I gotta say, I got such a nostalgia blast seeing and hearing the Living Books logo again! It takes me back to when I was in elementary school in the mid to late 90's, back when the internet was barely anything and all we had to rely on were edutainment games in the school library. The Arthur ones in particular were my favorites!

[@snakelady6708]

I had the Little Critter and Arthur games as a kid, also a "Sheila the Brave" one. Shame they never made any based on Little Monster. Think I still have all my old books stored away, too.

[@dfox6222]

@therealbuttsmcgee Indeed! Not to mention they’re SOOO nostalgic to me. ^_^

[@WilfredCthulu]

Off topic but Vinny is gonna have to go back to tomodachi and release Peewee like David Bowie... Ok on a less dumb and real note it was unbelievable to hear he passed away. I have a lot of funny memories of watching his show on adult swim, seeing the movies, and catching his dream to fly one weird night at a hotel. Then as for vinesauce I think of Vinny throwing the doll out the window. Rest in peace. Anyway seeing some of these characters again unearth some long memories.

[@BBHood217]

Green Eggs and Ham sure looks like the magnum opus of the Living Books series.

[@michaelbullen3104]

green eggs and green eggs and green eggs and green eggs and green eggs

[@4Wilko]

I absolutely loved Living Books. I had Just Grandma and Me ("01:35 Just Grandman and Me" in the description), the Arthur Teacher Trouble and Birthday ones, and a few others like Harry and the Haunted House. There are a million things to click on and I'm pretty sure the CD-ROM load times were not nearly that bad. It was pretty amusing seeing them listed for ScummVM. 14:10 - Raccoon spin. Green Eggs and Ham has really impressive animation.

Spud sounds like most versions of Jughead from the really old Archie cartoons

[@Zulf85]

Fr - it always feels really odd seeing the dubs of shows aimed at preschooler demographics that you're just not used to. It has a purpose, but is uncanny

[@bumpy_gaming]

American here, this is the dub of Bob the Builder that I grew up with, so I'm not too fazed by it. I will say though, the British dub does feel slightly more authentic

[@Greencumulon]

Exactly, this is the first time I've ever heard the American version. A lot of the voice actors are the same tho just doing an American accent

[@Nakia11798]

That's how I always heard them, in Canada.

[@astragorgon3257]

[@GloveClanOG]

I wonder if Vinny knows about famous Whose Line member Greg Proops voicing American Bob the Builder

[@michaelbullen3104]

Spud is now forever going to be a "Halloween Onion Man With a Scarf" in my mind, and is now canonically "Bob's psychotic hallucination"

Holy shit I remember playing just grandma and me and a bunch of the other little critter games on a crusty macintosh back in like 2005, this is awakening memories I forgot I even had

[@Houndoom97akabranflakes]

@@michaelbullen3104 Ah, I remember now! All the memories... thank you so much for telling me!

[@malachitep4276]

Now, I have an admitted guilty pleasure for old edutainment games like these, I find them very comforting and interesting examples of the wild west nature of early pc gaming. And I have NEVER seen this version of Just Grandma and Me that has the sandcastle minigame. Is this some later release? I know later Living Books titles had minigames, but the version I knew was always just the 'book' itself.

[@BlackBloodCombatClub]

I hope Vinny tries some Humongous Entertainment games someday. I think he'd have a better time with those. They aren't super educational, but are genuinely pretty good for what they are. They're kinda like Sam & Max, but for babi.

Just Grandma and Me is a super nostalgic game for me. That, along with Jazz Jackrabbit and ZZT, was among the first PC games I ever played.

[@SomeTinyCritter]

Look, after many delays I'm glad the segment finally happened. I'm just not glad about the game choices for said segment. xD

[@footslong]

48:05 Currently I work on a project for Dr. Seuss, corporate quite literally does not care about that book, and does what they can to actively overshadow it by more Grinch and Cat content. People who get a license to do Seuss anything generally can be more liberal with Green Eggs & Ham as far as “story accuracy” is concerned.

[@sodapup83]

Edutainment from the 90s is available by the garbage-truck full, which gives a big enough catalogue to still discover something "new" or looked over. So beautiful.

[@gonzoGnostalgic]

Forgot "Li'l Critter" was the name of a children's book series about a porcupine child. It's been replaced in my head as the name Zach Hadel gave to a hypothetical screaming mummified fetus on an episode of OneyPlays.

[@annysummer1206]

1) I sure do love edutainment games. Somehow brings me weird nostalgia even if I haven't played any of these. 2) I sure as heck didn't expect Vinny to try and speak German. As someone who speaks the language myself it was hilarious. And 3) "Just Grandma and Me" isn't actually from 2002. I didn't even have to look that up to know. I figured that out thanks to the German spelling of "dass" which was still spelled as "daß" meaning this came out before 1996. Just a random trivia fun fact for whoever wants to use it.

[@aturchomicz821]

"daß" klingt wie ein Gekte meme wtf🗿🗿

[@verylostdoommarauder]

Recognize the characters from the first game, I still have no idea what they're supposed to be.

[@skittstuff]

I vividly remember being scared of Little Critter when I was a kid. No clue why

[@deluxe5913]

YOOOOOO VINNY PLAYED A LITTLE CRITTER GAME?! That’s awesome! The Just Grandma and Me game was from a book series called Little Critter, was just little stories about Little Critter’s life and family and stuff. This game came from one of the books too haha, I recognized the line about the hot dogs getting dirty with sand. Vinny may have called this cursed but man, this was my actual childhood and it took me back to 2009

[@1meengreenie]

Oh wow, I didn't have the other games in this segment, but I did have that Land Before Time one. I remember playing that and the activity center one he checked out before; the storybook part was just so-so but I know I used to play the minigames (especially the fossil one Vinny unlocked; it's a hidden object game) a ton. One of the later minigames was assembling dinosaur skeletons and you had to identify what the dinosaur was- for a dinosaur-obsessed child it was really cool. Out of the two, I think I preferred the activity center (I remember my mom had to call some hotline in order to activate the full version of the software for me, good lord I feel old).

[@itsevelynnbabez]

I cannot describe the happiness I get seeing edutainment and shareware streams notifications.

[@Atylonisus]

I was practically shaking my cellphone during Grandma and Me. How DARE Vinny not click on every singular pixel!! That's the whole POINT of the "edutainment" genre! Youre a kid and you can occupy yourself for hours by repeatedly clicking dumb boopin' and boppin' characters to make them dance and watch flowers, I dunno, spin or some shit. At the very least you can generate streaming content by observing the effort that went into these early semblances of games. Dude just clicked "next page" and missed all of it then complained about how it doesn't hold his attention. You missed all the fuckin stupid songs!!

[@SamLovesMovies25]

I played that Green Eggs and Ham game as a kid. I was amused enough by it to get some fun out of it, and the art/animation/graphics were pretty good for the time, though obviously it had very good source material to go off of. (Mom was fine with my brother and I playing "regular" video games, but encouraged us to play an "educational" game at least every once in a while)
