Sorry Oregon, you won't be able to claim Homer, Bart and the rest of The Simpsons clan as your own. The Simpsons creator Matt Groening confirms exclusively to TV Guide Magazine that his recent statements were misinterpreted — he did not reveal that his long-running animated Fox comedy was set in Oregon.

"I never said Springfield was in Oregon," Groening says. "I said Springfield was the name of my sled...."

Hi Fellow Sifters... I have a question, and the choices seem almost endless out there, so would like some help from anyone who has a clue.... more inside ...

While of most of us weren't paying attention, mas8705 attained diamond a couple of months ago. Although he's not in our hair daily, he deserves recognition for his efforts on the Sift.

He's been on the Sift for over 4 years. Many of his sifts have to do with animation and videogames. On several occasions he's posted in SiftTalk. He's even served as MC for the Zifnab Roast.

So, let's help him purge his personal queue of 389 videos.

From Neatorama:
Before Alice Taylor of Wonderland blog quit her day job to work on a startup, she worked for Britain's Channel 4 Education to create public service games with social lessons. This one above deserves a particular note: The End is a Flash game about death, belief and science.

The game about death & philosophy I commissioned from lovely Preloaded, to have a look at death and all the things around it. It's something as a society we report on a lot, and fetishise/agonise over, but we never really talk about how to handle it when it happens.

Kids (in the UK) are predominantly atheist or agnostic these days (large numbers of adults, too), and religion usually has quite a lot of ritual and support ideas around death, but the secular world, not so much. Us atheists are on our own, a bit. This game was commissioned around wanting to help out with that, a bit.

It's a platformer, and a quiz, and a 2-player card game, and a bunch of thought-provoking, open ended questions. Oh, and collectibles. Dig in.

Neatorama shares Complex's twenty pages video slide show/article of "The Complete History Of Video Games On 'The Simpsons' -- Over the past 20-plus years, who else has chronicled and satirized pop culture quite like The Simpsons? The denizens of Springfield have always loved their cartoons, movies, and beer--oh, and video games. And missing fingers or not, they've been gaming their way through arcades and home consoles since the very first season back in 1989. So us being the fans that we are, we combed through the nearly 500 episodes to find the more than 70 video games (including one vaguely racist Pachinko game) that have appeared in the show. Many of them were game cabinets or box covers only--and you can find the massive compendium at the end of the list—but if you ever saw the game being played, we've got it here. From Super Slugfest to Earthland Realms, get ready for the greatest historical exhibit KNOWN TO MAN. D'oh or die!,..."

How come nobody told me about the show called "archer"?! WTF? I thought we were all friends...

Hello fellow sifters!

Ever since Ms AdrianBlack joined the sift community last September she has been providing us with excellent videos, usually in the form of animations. In addition to her fantastic sifts she also has been using some of the coolest avatars ever seen by earthlings. Unfortunately, once she updates her avatar the old one is lost in the mists of the intertubez. Luckily for us she has now uploaded her past avatars into one spot for all to see!

I give you Adrian's Avatar Spectacular!
Now you can finally enjoy these fine works of art in all of their glory! Witness the detail that you could never see before! Gaze in awe at the beauty!

That is all!

To coincide with the long-awaited States-side DVD/Blu-ray release of Cat Sh*t One: The Animated Series, the entire first episode has been uploaded to YouTube, where it will remain for the next two weeks.

To bring you up to speed, Cat Sh*t One: The Animated Series is a CG adaptation of a manga by Motofumi Kobayashi, originally released as Apocalypse Meow in the US, which follows the misadventures of an elite team of American soldiers who happen to be cuddly wittle bunnies.

Enjoy!

(sNSFW, Cat Sh*t One.)
