The Simpsons: Hit & Run Discussion

The NPCs are dumb as hell

Posted on (5 months ago)

I find that to be part of the charm. SHAR is pretty much a family friendly Grand Theft Auto game, and look at the NPCs in GTA San Andreas. Dumb as fenceposts. To the point they will be on the sidewalk, and jump in front of your car.

SHAR: Mod Requests

Grand Theft Simpsons Row... For lack of a better title

Posted on (3 years ago)

It sounds very ambitious, but I like it. The fully connected map is not too far off from your GTA based part. So that's part of the job done. Like the GTA games, you could have an invisible barrier to seperate them. GTA always had an in game explanation for bridges being out, the Simpsons universe c...

The Simpsons: Hit & Run Question

Favorite car to drive in Hit and run?

Posted on (3 years ago)

In some levels, where Smithers is the driver in Burn's limo, I enjoy driving it simply for the double entendres that Smithers often says. Same with the police cars when Wiggum is in the drivers seat. He has some great lines too. For normal driving, that is, seeking out wasp cameras or exploring, I o...

Off Topic Rant

My rant.

Posted on (3 years ago)

I consider my work in restoring antique model trains to be an art form, and construction of a suitable railroad layout using tools and materials available in the 1940s to be an art form as well. Call it 'Mixed media on plywood'. When I was a bit younger I too got jealous of people who got far more a...

SHAR: Mod Showcase Released

Apu's Pontiac Firebird

Posted on (3 years ago)

Looking very good! Apu's red car shows up in at least one other episode, the one where he got married to Majula I think. Next time I play SHAR I am going to try this out.

My Response to the October 1st Incident

Posted on (3 years ago)

Thanks for the info. I suppose I am a bit out of touch with society these days. I do have a couple trans friends, neither of them have ever seemed upset when someone calls them by their old name. In my case, I have a very hard time remembering names and faces in the first place, so they might be jus...

My Response to the October 1st Incident

Posted on (3 years ago)

What exactly is deadnaming? I seem to be the only one here who doesn't know what that is, but it sounds serious. Is this something that puts the community at risk?

SHAR: Mod Resources

City Bus

Posted on (3 years ago)

It does look a bit like the 'Seniorville Trolley' bus for the retirement home. Basically a bus body on a pickup truck chassis. As far as city transit buses in Springfield, older episodes show early 1990s looking high floor buses, though in the episode Changing of the Guardian, a GM "Fishbowl" bus is...

Bart's blue shirt on the cover art.

Posted on (3 years ago)

My only theory would be between Lisa's red dress, the red car, and a red shirt on Bart, they went with a blue shirt to give some contrast. I imagine a conversation going a bit like this "There's a lot of red in that artwork." "Well I can change the car color or I can change clothes colors" "Nah, red...

Springfield Noire 2: Reinvestigated [Discontinued]

Posted on (5 years ago)

After a hiatus for a few months or so due to a move and new job, I've finally gotten back into playing SHAR. I tried this mod today and I like it. It's very different in game play and concept from anything else I've seen on here. I also like the idea of an original character in the Simpsons universe...
