Walker blogged about Strongbad’s Cool Game for Attractive People in the mysterious past of yesterday. We made a calender to count off the days until actual footage arrived. All that effort was completely wasted as it’s out already.
Man!
Rock, Paper, Shotgun
Faster, Strongerbadder…

Ugh, that gets horribly squashed when embedded. Nice version is here.
You forgot the ‘funny’ caption.
Also: Best trailer for a game I’ve seen in a long time.
Oh my God, they totally have to change the way Homestars mouth moves when he talks.
When I start hearing Strong Bad mention the memory add on for the N64 in the same way he mentions all that other old tech, it makes me feel super old myself.
Surely “Faster, Strongerbad …” ?
That’s what I get for posting when I’m very hungry.

John: that’s a part of the joke.
I think it’s a good pun, Kieron.
I agree with Zuffox… I like it more better that way.
Coolest game-trailer since Battlefield Heroes!
Does Homestarrunner.com still have many fans? Personally, I remember it exists every six months or so, visit the website, laugh a lot and then promptly forget about it again.
At any rate, maybe this game will fill the aching void left by the apparently abandoned Homestar RPG for the 2600.
Huh. Interesting. Also, pretty brave to take those very 2D characters and try to 3D them. I once made a Homestar Runner costume in Second Life… it was not a total success, but I still consider it a valiant effort. It was cel-shaded, too. Cop a load o’ that.
I’m pretty much the same. Looking on Alexa it’s fallen a long way from its (rather large) peak in 2003/4, but I’d imagine there’s a small cult following for it and obviously a lot of people familiar with it even if they don’t visit the site anymore.
I still check for new cartoons every few weeks or so. It’d be so much easier if it had an RSS feed…
