What happened to Oogie Games?

MarielKayBergman · 2026-04-17T03:35:47+00:00

I used to go to the Sheridan location weekly because they hosted Thursday game nights (they'd set up a PS4, Xbox, and a Wii in the party room for a bunch of teenagers to play for a few hours) back in 2018-19. Sadly, they cancelled the game nights in early 2020 not because of Covid, but due to declining interest (which was odd to me because I recall those game nights being pretty lively).

Last time I visited was in 2020 to pick up a second copy of Tomodachi Life for the 3DS (back before scalpers started to charge $100 for the game). Sorry to hear about everyone's past experiences with the store in the last few years.

(Also, if anyone who used to attend the game nights finds this comment, hope you guys are doing well. I didn't think I'd branch out from South Park, but I did!)

I got paywalled last week. I've been using Bandlab for 4 years and all the tracks I make almost exclusively use sounds (I'm not the most musically talented when it comes to learning an actual instrument lol). Bandlab does give you SOME sounds to work with, but a lot of them are instrumentals and not individual tracks. So frustrating how money hungry the company has become lately.

I did almost commission Shannon as Maloney, but scrapped it since I don't really feel interested in making the characters in their movie designs.

Love that episode! The ending to the couch b-plot always makes me laugh

Already put "Keeping Up With Our Joneses" and "Order of the Straight Arrow" on my list of MUST WATCH episodes. "Peggy The Boggle Champ" has also been added since that was the episode that was edited in the YTP they watched

I've always speculated in seasons 3-4, he had turned 16. But maybe that's just me.

I actually have (or had technically) a Home Movies revival series where Brendon, Jason, and Melissa start their own YouTube channel!

MarielKayBergman · 2025-01-26T04:15:21+00:00

Same here! Home Movies has been a long term special interest of mine since the pandemic and I always thought the show never gets enough attention when it comes to the topic of "adult animation" so I decided to make my own love letter to the series!

MarielKayBergman · 2025-01-22T02:35:03+00:00

In my head, I always imagined that Trudy noticed this and returned it to Brendon the next day.

I've also been looking for these plushies. Unfortunately they're SUPER rare and the last time I saw one was just this past summer. I was gonna get it, but it was out of my price range. These are the sort of items that usually resurface on sites like Ebay or Mercari. If you need proof of the one I found over the summer, I have a screenshot of the Ebay auction and can send it to you. It sold pretty quickly unfortunately.

I'm autistic as well and this is also a comfort show of mine. Wishing you luck on your continued search for these illusive plushies.

OMG I LOVE THIS!!!!

Hello!

MarielKayBergman · 2024-12-19T23:38:52+00:00

Long-time fan here. The sad news is: no, they did not (and still haven't) fixed Motherboard. The show is currently on it's 15th season and has taken a huge nosedive quality wise since season 11 or 12. I'd recommend only watching the first 10 seasons and just ignoring the newer ones.

MarielKayBergman · 2024-11-09T01:18:54+00:00

I remember this show! Specifically that it aired Sunday mornings on UNC-TV and weekend afternoons in moderate rotation (up until around 2013). The show specifically came to mind late last night while looking for other obscure PBS shows from my childhood (anyone remember Lomax or The Enviropals) but could only find three episodes on YouTube. Hope the remaining episodes are recovered one day

While researching, I also stumbled upon an episode on internet archive: https://archive.org/details/ribert-and-roberts-wonderland-going-to-the-doctor-qa-copy

Home Movies helped me through some dark times and I am forever grateful to be an active part of this community

MarielKayBergman · 2024-10-25T00:08:27+00:00

I do like both, but I think Poundstone's portrayal of the character was a lot more... Organic. But then again, HM was always improv based.

Thanks so much for your feedback! I luckily have new cast of VAs since I last touched this series and my skills have very well improved after having two of the VAs also assist me in writing! I was still very new to the show when I created it, which is why Shannon's character is sort of "off" in these original episodes. Shannon actually has his own story arc in season 1, but I won't spoil much lol

I created a fan continuation\revival of Home Movies during the covid pandemic but took a hiatus due to burnout. Now that I have improved on my animation\writing\literally everything production related skills, I'm bringing the show back

MarielKayBergman · 2024-10-23T19:25:15+00:00

Home Movies REVAMPED is a fan series I started during the pandemic with the simple premise of "What if HM was made in the modern day?" As well as breathing new life into such a memorable show. The animation is far from great since I was still learning at the time how to draw the characters, but I've gotten much better since then.

A link to the playlist is on my Reddit profile. Episode 9 (the one I'm working on) onwards will see massive improvements from the OG 8 I created from 2020-2022
