I can't freakin wait for the unreleased emails... --Southpaw018 11:02, 8 Nov 2004 (MST)

Strong Bad DVD Promo and this article should be merged - Drhaggis 12:37, 8 Nov 2004 (MST)

Not necessarily. There are two distinct things here: A flash-based promo on homestarrunner.com and the actual title of the to-be-released 3-disc DVD set at the homestar store. I believe most users are aware that all the information on this page came from an earlier article DVD Promo Article. At the moment, this article will violate Once And Only Once until users can gather in-depth information regarding further DVD specifics and/or images (screenshots). Until then, this page really does not need modification of its information until the release of said DVD. Ultimately, I imagine that this page will contain more information than the page created earlier, which is only about the promo.

The basis for this reasoning is the fact that we didn't merge Peasant's Quest Trailer and Peasant's Quest articles. --Teh P. 12:49, 8 Nov 2004 (MST)

As it stands 1 article would be plenty, but if this article is to be the place where all DVD related info will go and the DVD Promo is just for the static promo clip thats great. -Drhaggis 13:29, 8 Nov 2004 (MST)

Transcripts, Easter Eggs...

Are we going to treat each toon like a normal toon (as in Transcripts, Easter Eggs...)? I think the page should follow something like this:

 A short summary and a photo to the left.

== The Strong Bad Emails ==
*List each one on there, including the new ones. 

== Music Videos ==
*List of the two music videos.

=== Kareoke Videos ===
*List of the four videos. (Notice that it's a sub section.)

== Puppet Stuff ==
*List.

== Behind The Scences ==

=== Creator commintaries ===
*List the toons with the commintaries and who did them. Sub section.

=== Character commintaries ===
*List the toons with the commintaries and who did them. Sub section.

== Easter Eggs ==
*Look on seperate toon pages for Easter Eggs. (Unless there is a main menu egg.)

== External Links ==
*Buy the DVD. 

And the toons:

 Short summary. Photo on left.

== Transcript or Lyrics==
Transcript.

== Easter Eggs ==
Easter Eggs.

== Fun Facts ==
Fun facts.

== External Links ==
(If any.)

Look good? This is exciting! Of course, the wiki's going to be packed for a couple of days. It's going to be weird watching it on a television. --FireBird|_Talk
  Watch it in your computer's DVD player, maybe it won't feel as weird ;) --AndrewNeo

I'm thinking all this really depends on how different the emails are from what we already see on homestarrunner.com. If they are exactly the same, as I suspect they will be, a simple link to the respective email's page would suffice. However, the super-cool commentaries are going to be the biggest change. I'm thinking a seperate page for them, linked to from the main DVD page and from the respective email's page might work. I'm not really sure though and I am totally open to suggestions. -- Tom 09:18, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

My DVD's gonna be here Tues...but kinda depressing to see all the "fun facts" coming in and tons of the easter eggs are disabled :( --Southpaw018 23:33, 12 Nov 2004 (MST)

Title

Should this title be changed? I know "strongbad email.exe" is what it's called, but it's kind of ugly? Maybe we could change it to "Strong Bad Email DVD" or something. -- FireBird|_Talk

Hmm. I'm thinking that "strongbad_email.exe" is the title of the DVD. I think it's a pretty good name, and I like the underscore. (Personally, I think of the intro to caper every time I see the title.) However, the MediaWiki software treats the underscore as a space, just like with sb_email 22, so it really doesn't show up correctly. Back to the point: I'm sure we'll find out much more when we actually get the DVD and are able to write up a good description. -- Tom 09:14, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

About the underscore. There's a template on Wikipedia that tells users that the title is wrong. It's usually used for wrong capitalization. I've put the template here.—StrongstarRunbad 17:40, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

Right right, like for iPod and all these pages. It might work. -- Tom 19:14, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)
