Listen "S4 E112 Sims: The Fixer Series (Jan 2024)"
Episode Synopsis
We take a look at one of the best machinima series we've ever seen this week... from the annals of history. The Fixer series was a crime drama created by Todd Stallkamp (aka Burnt Coffee Productions aka TodNYC28) made in Sims 2 and originally released in 2006. Todd was part of the first brain drain from the world of machinima, and shortly after the release of this series was snapped up by EA Games as a content creator where he still is, ironically now in charge of the Sims amongst other games in its portfolio. We revisit the series in our review, discuss how well its stacked up against contemporary machinima and why its still one of the greatest machinima series we've ever seen! Ricky concludes, if Todd hadn't gone to EA, he'd now be making TV shows and films: '... you could take this series, make it live action, use all of the shots that Todd made and put it on Amazon as a series.' #machinima #sims #sims4 #sims2 #filmfestival #awards #crimedrama #eagames Credits -Speakers: Ricky Grove, Phil Rice, Damien Valentine, Tracy HarwoodProducer: Ricky GroveEditor: Phil RiceMusic: Anno Domini Beats
