My..head...asplode!

Faster74

Homestarrunner.com is made of win. I should probably start going back there since I haven't been in 6-8 months though :o. *Goes off to listen to his day one purchase after being made available Strong Bad Sings CD*

@MoogPaul: True, but won't stop me from considering a Wii for this alone.

Hubert Humphrey Methadone

Awesome... I've been a fan of the site for a long time.

Mezodon

@Rebelphoenix83: Homestar Runner isn't a web comic....it was never a web comic....it's a web cartoon.

Aitrus233

kick Ass

Dtothewayneo

@cdammers: Nope just really looking forward to the enavitable xkcd game.

Rebelphoenix83

@battra92: Oh man, don't even put that thought in my head. Imagine if it had online play, then you could ask people from around the globe if they were looking for a CHALLENNNNGE!

Aitrus233

It's depressing this is the most exciting Wii release I've got to look forward to in the next few months bar Mario Kart and Brawl. But I'm European so the latter will never end up being released anyway.

Gofthick

@Rebelphoenix83: Jealous much?

cdammers

Cool?

Benjo

This is arguably the best thing I've ever seen/done/tasted.

Ping

Come to the place where tropical breezes flow!

I love HSR. I wish it could be my ringtone.

So how long before Stinkoman 20X6 comes to WiiWare? ^_~

battra92

This interests me, though I think the Stinkoman game (among other Flash-based HSR games) should have been converted for GBA several years back. Hell, they'd be better on DS than Wii.

Does Not Equal

This game is about 3 years too late.

MoogPaul

Wow, every pile of shit web comic is getting a video game, kinda makes me wish I would have kept mine going.

Rebelphoenix83

I may actually have to dust off my useless Wii for this. I love Homestar Runner and crew, and have been a fan of their stuff for a long, long time.

KillerBee

AND THE THATCH'D ROOF COTTAGEEEES!

Krackatoa

That is pretty cool

ProfWho

TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!

This + Rain Slick = FUN :D

syl1985

man i seen some strongbad episodes that had me LMAO i love the "what jigg do you use for fishing?"

and strongbadia was another great episode.

and marzipans answering machine is fricken hillarious

ok screw it im going to homestarrunner.

Dakobah

Who would have thought the Wii would receive episodic content before the 360 or PS3?

topgeargorilla

I hope this game has a witches' brew.

CrazyRedd

Hmm...gotta make room on my Wii for this download. No longer played Virtual Console games....DELETED!

Aitrus233

F*ck yeah!

I love Strong Bad! Homestarrunner is one of the most creative sites I know, the "retro" flash games over there are brilliant.. I'm sure they'll be able to do something good with the Telltale guys!

CockroachMan

Wonder what kind of game it'll be. Wonder what kind of graphics it'll have. Here's hoping it's awesome and cool.

Demaar

THIS ROCKS.

The best news of the day, right up there with the fact that DK mountain is gonna be in MKWii.

ImCowman

Connors calls WiiWare (or, the WiiWare "Delivery System") innovative here. What in particular is considered innovative about the system? I ask not to divide, but because any time I can feed my fanatic devotion to Nintendo, I will. Does it have more to do with developer costs? I hear it's somehow less restrictive than XBOX Live, which I've certainly enjoyed up to now overall. Just curious.

(By the way, I'm sure this will be an entertaining game; I can also imagine some sort of Teen Girl Squad game; I've always thought it was strangely surreal for pop-comedy and would lend itself well to a random game environment.)

Keldorek

Man this is probably the best thing I have heard in like forever Dear Strongbad, Thank you. Now what do you look like with your mask off, Stormcrow,OK

stormcrow85

Population Tire is about to pop.

Now if only I had a wii.

Chewbenator

@Lezard: I guess if you have boxing gloves

Dannon

TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!
Burninating the cuntry!
Burninanting the lack of Wii's internal storage!
TROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGDDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRR!

Shiryu

Can I play the game with boxing gloves on?

Lezard

DROG-DORRR!!

@Northernsky: ~~~COME ON IN HERE!~~~

Campion

I guess on the internets I should expect to be the minority here, but man... I never thought Strong Bad was funny.

Not even remotely.

Back in college, some people would say how awesome it was, then show me the site.

And we would all sit there quietly as the cartoons played, and no one laughed. And then afterwards they would all agree how awesome it was.

And I was left wondering why they weren't laughing at the video when it was on, and if maybe I had missed the part where we leave our bodies and enter some euphoric world that they had all seemed to experience.

Maybe it just isn't my "kind" of humor. I didn't like the "badger badger badger" cartoon either, and they all seemed to love it. But I figured it was one of those random internet things that people liked more because it meant they shared a subculture then because it was genuinely good.

I got nothing bad to say about the game or anything, just... confusion at this internet popularity.

Lackshmana

Wow, I know I just got here, but I should just leave work and go home now because nothing better is going to happen today....

Mr.SithNinja

Good foundation for games, now let's hope that the games will turn out well. It could be a good sink for my wii points.

tnx3

i am not saying it isnt still great - the quality has never left. My only point is that, at it's peak, it was a real internet phenom.

now, it is just a great internet cartoon. I still will love playing this, but the impact is much less now then when Strongbad was on everyone who had the interwebs brain.

Crom

Awesome. I cant wait to a-splode some bad guys.

Sam

I don't know about that. In my most humblest of opinions, I still like it. I found out about quite a while back, maybe about 4 years or so. Also when introduced to new people, they seem to enjoy it too.

furiku

as long as it doesn't give me the jibblies, this sounds awesome...

Northernsky

I've not really noticed that it left. There's been a few sbemails of meh quality, but overall they've been improving. Actually I can't watch a lot of the old ones and laugh as much as I do with the new ones.

Aitrus233

I really want to watch the epic Sbemails rock opera now.

azurai

this would have made more sense 5 years ago when strongbad had much more e-fame

while the site is still funny, the impact left a while ago IMO.

Crom

@Rebelphoenix83: Hardly "every piece of shit webcomic" when, as mentioned above, the webcartoon site has garnered extensive media coverage and enough international popularity to merit two of its musical numbers to be included in Guitar Hero. I can't say I know of any webcomics who've come close to that bar the behemoths of Penny Arcade and its ilk.
So no, sorry to break any hearts, but I don't think Telltale would have made a game of your webcomic.

Pombar

Nothing sums up my life's achievements quite like my stuffed corpse suplexing a cougar.

1gunners4

episodic dangeresque would be pretty friggen sweet.

teh_joe

Yeah yeah!, an internet comic game that I'm actually looking forward to.

Lyedecker

The brothers Chaps have made some amusing Videlectrix games over the years, so these might be interesting. It has to be said, "New Strong Bad" email and "latest Zero Punctuation review" are probably my favourite words on the internet. I don't own a Wii though, so hopefully they'll appear on the site at some point too. They did make a bunch of their old games Wii browser compatible a while back.

JudgeNutmeg

This is crazy go nuts!

theCornerinvasion

Homestarrunner.net.... It's dot com!

NateN

While I do like strongbad, it seems that all these Wiiware games are just flash games on the Wii with a pricetag. Also, what's so innovative about Wiiware?

Heyyou27

@Campion: WAHHH! jibbly jibbly jibbly jibbly jibbly jibbly......

Aitrus233

@Keldorek:

Devs have to go through tons of stuff on xbox live and PSN. Forcing demos etc. All Nintendo requires is a concept, some know how, buying a 2000 dev kit. Developers admit it is a lot less restrictive they can do more and put up unique concepts, they get more royalties.

Yetanotheruninspiredscreename

Finally, some news that puts a smile on my face.

themunk

I can't wait to "check out all of it's majesty"!!

Mr.SithNinja

WAVE OF BABIES!

Totally bought!

CaptLtrl

A cool game for attractive people!?

This is the game I've been waiting for!

brent_w

Eeeeeeeeeee! :-D

Wow, Miles Edgeworth game announced yesterday, and this annoucement today. It's a good week.

CyricZ

battra92

I'm entirely willing to give this a chance. For some reason, all these years later, I still find that site to be a consistant source for humor.

I know things on the Internet are considered lame after a few months tops, but I still try to take a few minutes here and there to check the latest e-mails and cartoons.

GorbyGipper

The Bros. Chap are hilarious and old school gamers at heart, I can't wait to see what they have wrought.

Randomeis

Sounds awesome.

Or does it?

"They'll be all up ons!"

Billkwando

@caleb: @Shiryu:

i guess we're in the same age group... and stopped going to the sight at the same time...

LittlestLamshi

telltale also does the sam and max games. this makes me very optimistic. :)

firesign

TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!

KM91

@Keldorek: It's a press release. Did you expect him to diss his own platform? How many press releases for PS3 games have you seen where the guy says, "I personally think the 360 is better, but the publisher is forcing us to make it PS3 exclusive."?

Torgen got his apology faceplate but not his fixed GH3 disc

Nevermind all this and finish Stinkoman first. :<

ThreeLeafIvy

Anyway you get the point, just a lame ass not-so-funny cartoon that everyone must make a big deal out of.

Jagzthebest

Comment boxes are for opinions of gamers, I am not trying to be a troll, but here goes:

Homestar Runner is the biggest load of crap I have ever seen, hell Mucha Lucha is funnier, I think its okay, to be truthful, but a pile of crap because of the big deal everyone has made out of it, an internet phenomenon so to speak. I mean, ugh, what is so AWESOME *FAP FAP FAP* CAN'T WAIT HOMESTAR RUNNER,!!!! OMFG IM A TWENTY SOMETHING SITTING IN A BASEMENT CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY IT HAHAHAAH OH YEAH! Oh wtf am I on about lol

Jagzthebest

I want a "Teen Girl Squad!" JRPG.

VeeKaChu

Hopefully they're will be a Cheat-Kicking mini-game.

Derek, IN

@Jagzthebest: I disagree. Homestar Runner is brilliant, extremely unique, and quite an example of Flash mastery. Their parodies (such as Limo Zeen poking fun at 80s hair rock bands) are always spot-on. There's so much content and it's all free (besides the extras on DVDs). Do not be a hater.

eastx

@Heyyou27: What's so innovative about XBOX Live Arcade?

Besides, if they tried something completely different, you'd all bitch about how "casual" it is.

Rebochan

*insert Trogdor song here*

I mean...it's practically required. He's already made it into Guitar Hero.

@Jagzthebest: So your strange post can basically be summed up as "It's popular, so I must hate it so I look cooler by comparison!"

Rebochan

@Jagzthebest:

I'm a Homestar fan because it has value to me: I find it funny. Liking or hating stuff based on public opinion is equally stupid.

Peasants Quest. Best game ever? Signs point to yes.

Crawl to China

this is truly epic. Definite Wii Ware purchase

@Torgen got his apology faceplate but not his fixed GH3 disc:

I wasn't asking the question out of naiveté. I really was wondering what the rationale is for the description because I've been hearing it a lot, especially from members of the media who seem to like the idea of WiiWare. You're of course right, but hearing that WiiWare is innovative so often had me thinking I was missing something because I just assumed it was yet another digital download service.

Keldorek

[www.homestarrunner.com]

Advertises the wiiware game in the strongbad way.

Yetanotheruninspiredscreename

krizoitz

Dude, this looks awesome. Love the name, too

Spiffyness

@MoogPaul: yeah, still hopefully will be entertaining.

juliopalio

@KillerBee: No brawl?

Sharpevil

Not a fan of homestar runner, to be honest, shallow comedy isn't my thing

Master Saji

You know, I've never heard of these guys before, but judging from the comments here, I'm in the minority. Peoples here seem to like it.

Karlott

ok, I'll probably be tazed and feathered but I've never heard of this game/cartoon (whatever) before!!!!!!
