== Greetings to you all! ==
I am DorianGray (note the lack of space, so as not to confuse me with the [[Wikipedia:Dorian Gray|character]] I'm named for). My close friends call me Seany-sama (or just Seany), which is what I'd prefer to be called if you must refer to me by name. Although I have now also become accustomed to being called Dorian (and Gary, at least on [[HRWiki:IRC|IRC]]). Around here, you may also know me as Annonymous User Number [[Special:Contributions/69.139.163.12|69.139.163.12]]. This account was made at the suggestion to make an account. (Well, it was made earlier, but only just for a test. There was never any formal acknowledgement of a link between the two until now.) Most of my edits have been--but, unfortunately, probably won't continue to be--made by that name. I have grown a peculiar attachment to it, however. Yeah, I'm weird.

== About Me ==
Well, now I suppose is the point where I talk about myself. I'm male. I'm 19. I live in Pennsylvania--but you wouldn't guess it from my speech. I'm very hung up on England, Texas, and Hawaii (my three best friends live in those locations), and my speech reflects it (and I type exactly the way I speak, so there you go).

== Non-H*R Interests ==
Trying to list my non-H*R interests could take hours, so I'll just say I'm an anime and Nintendo freak and leave it at that. If you want a further list, I'll make one. Otherwise, skip to the next section.
=== My Interests ===
*[[Wikipedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]] (the games, not the anime)
*the [[Wikipedia:Harry Potter|Harry Potter]] books
*[[Wikipedia:Yu-Gi-Oh!|Yu-Gi-Oh!]] (the cards AND the anime)
*[[Wikipedia:Zatch Bell!|Zatch Bell!]]
*[[Wikipedia:Teen Titans (animated series)|Teen Titans]]
*[[Wikipedia:Danny Phantom|Danny Phantom]]
*[[Wikipedia:The Batman (TV series)|The Batman]]
*[[Wikipedia:Saiyuki|several]] [[Wikipedia:Chrono Crusade|other]] [[Wikipedia:Immortal Rain|manga]] (it's a [[Wikipedia:Tokyo Mew Mew|long list]], so I dun wanna take up too much of your time)
*various Nintendo games, such as [[Wikipedia:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door]], [[Wikipedia:Super Smash Bros. Melee|Super Smash Bros. Melee]], [[Wikipedia:Soul Calibur II|Soul Calibur II]], [[Wikipedia:Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]], [[Wikipedia:Skies of Arcadia|Skies of Arcadia Legends]], and [[Wikipedia:Golden Sun|Golden Sun]]
*[[Wikipedia:El Goonish Shive|El Goonish Shive]], [[Wikipedia:The Wotch|The Wotch]], and various [[Wikipedia:College Roomies from Hell!!!|other]] webcomics
*[[Wikipedia:Bonus Stage|Bonus Stage]], [[Wikipedia:Weebl and Bob|Weebl and Bob]], and, to a lesser extent, [[Wikipedia:Happy Tree Friends|Happy Tree Friends]]
*[[Wikipedia:Seinfeld|Seinfeld]]
*mythology, magic, and similar stuff
*action movies, especially various comic book movies and the [[Wikipedia:James Bond|James Bond]] films
*movies from the '80s, like [[Wikipedia:Ghostbusters|Ghostbusters]] and [[Wikipedia:Back to the Future|Back to the Future]]
*[[Wikipedia:England|England]], [[Wikipedia:Hawaii|Hawaii]], and [[Wikipedia:Texas|Texas]]
*drawing, video games, and voice acting (my fields of interest for if I ever get a job)
*school, despite graduating on June 9th, 2005
*emoticons. It's very hard to get an answer out of me without use of at least one emoticon--even in a handwritten letter.
*[[Wikipedia:Pudding|pudding]], [[Wikipedia:Bacon|bacon]], and [[Wikipedia:Hot Pockets|Hot Pockets]]. While not healthy, I could live on these, my most favourite foods.
*Proper spelling and grammar. On the same tack, I absolutely abhor [[Internet Slang]].

== H*R and Me ==
My introduction to [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]], [[Strong Bad]], and the rest can be attributed to my friend Koneko. She's to blame. She sent me a link to [[sibbie]], and it all went from there. I can also tell you that it was sometime between [[colonization]] and [[video games]], based on the [[Scroll Button Songs|scroll button song]]. As of now, I have seen every single thing on the site (except for the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#Bosses|20X6 bosses]], but more on that later). I consider myself to be a wealth of information, but I really get it all from this wiki right here. I don't even visit the [[HR:intro.html|main site]] to check for updates anymore...

== Stinkoman ==
[[Stinkoman]] is by far my favourite character. I'd love for there to be a real [[20X6]] anime. I'd watch it. [[Stinkoman 20X6|The game]] is a good start, but for the life of me, I can't beat a single stage of it (except [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3#Stage 3.2 (Transcript)|3.2]], and even that takes a good 45 minutes or more). It's still fun anyways. Stinkoman, incidentally, was how I found the [[Main Page|HRWiki]]. I did a [http://images.google.com/images?q=Stinkoman&hl=en Google Image search] for Stinkoman, and one link lead here (I think). Anyways, I'm here now, and here I will stay. It's where I spend most of my time online.

== Me and the Wiki==
Well. That bit about Stinkoman told you how I found the place. And, if you're too busy to look at my [[Special:Contributions/DorianGray|contributions]], I'm-a tell you what it is I do here. This'll go quick, dun worry.
*I make a number of small edits that try to aid the Wiki. I mean, tons of them. Look at the last entry on my interests list to see why. I've also gotten quite good at noticing vandals and reverting them. Much fast am I.
*I like voting on [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]]. I watch all the entries I vote on the way someone might watch a favoured sports team. It's about all the excitement I get.
*As such, from my STUFF watching (and a like of reading talk pages), I have an encyclopedic knowledge of declined Fun Facts. This helps get rid of bad stuff people like to keep adding.
*My best accomplishment is [[Sound Effects]]. On [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]'s suggestion, I made the page. I have a love for making lists, and I made almost all that page myself. Some people helped with formatting, but I did almost all the content. And [[User:Smileyface11945|Smileyface11945]] added the very cool OGG files to the page. Feel free to help me out too!
*I also like to clean and protect the wiki. I helped serve against the NSMC attack in November '05, and was subsequently rewarded with [[User talk:DorianGray#Defender of the Wiki|a special trophy]], which makes me very happy when I look at it. ^-^ I also added a mass amount of "deleted" templates to the images that were [[Talk:More Fan Costumes#Pictures|not fair use]].
*I was one of the highest hit in the mass spam-mail attack from the NSMC bot at '''4,868''' password reminder emails, second only to [[User:Bubsty|Bubsty]].
*I fixed, like, all the debuts to bold the colon and appear before the appearance, through clever use of the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Search?search=debut search window] and CTRL+F. It was actually kind of fun, in a tedious sort of way.
*I made the discovery that some pages were listing [[Places]] as having "Filmographies". After a brief discussion, I changed the few that had such a listing to "Appearances" (and one that had an [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Crazy_Go_Nuts_University&diff=prev&oldid=220553 "As seen in"]).

Stinkoman 20X6 Real-World References

2006-01-09T15:05:33Z

Clamburger: Skipped redirect

There are dozens of video game references in [[Stinkoman 20X6]].

==General==
* Stlunko, 404 is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:404 error|404 error]] that browsers give when a webpage cannot be found.
* The [[Wikipedia:Piedmont_(United States)|Piedmont]] region of the United States is the area between the Atlantic coastal plain and the Appalachian mountains. Atlanta, home of the Brothers Chaps, lies in this region. [[Wikipedia:Piedmont|Piedmont]] is also a region in Northern Italy.
* Lundsford is a reference to the symbol and/or mascot of [http://www.georgianaturalgas.com/ Georgia Natural Gas]. Billboards featuring this symbol and character can be seen in many places in the Atlanta area where The Brothers Chaps live.
*Negatory is [[Wikipedia:Citizens%27_band_radio|Citizens' Band Radio]] (CB) [http://www.cbgazette.com/slang.html slang] for no or negative.
*[http://www.protekdevices.com/aboutProtek00.htm Protek] is a Tempe, AZ based company specializing in Transient Voltage Suppression products. This may explain why the Protek enemy is an electric outlet.
*Stratosfear is an album by The Unisex, and is a pun relating to the [[Wikipedia:Stratosphere|stratosphere]].

== [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]] ==
*The game controller Stinkoman is holding in the cutscene for level 5.1 bears a striking resemblance to the redesigned NES controller (AKA the dogbone controller).
* The square areas around Stinkoman's face as it fades in on the intro screen are a reference to the method many NES games used to fade large images and backgrounds. Some games exhibited similar color artifacts and glitches primarily due to the NES's small color palette.

== [[Wikipedia:Mega Man|Mega Man series]] ==

=== Graphics ===
* The sprites for Stinkoman and the enemies Poorbt and Astromund are patterned after sprites in the ''Mega Man'' games for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]].
** Additionally, the sprites for the [[Videlectrix Mascot]] are taken directly from ''Mega Man''.
* When shooting at enemies, you are limited to three projectiles on screen at a time. This is a direct reference to the original ''Mega Man'' series, where the Mega Buster could only fire up to three shots at a time. Older video games often limited the number of sprites on the screen to keep the game from slowing down or flickering.
* The bulky, muscular Stinkoman in the game's box art is likely a reference to the first two ''Mega Man'' games. The box art for the American versions of those games featured a similarly muscular Mega Man that looked nothing like the character in the game.
** This practice of creating conflicting box art for American video games was a common practice until around the time the [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] was released.

=== Sounds and Music ===
* The sound effects for text appearing in the cinematics are taken from ''Mega Man'' for the NES.
* The chime sound in the intro screen and main menu is taken from ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man X|Mega Man X]]'' for the SNES.
* Most of the music in Stinkoman 20X6 is patterned after the music from the entire ''Mega Man'' series.
** Technically, the music is most like the music from the SNES line of ''Mega Man'' games, as it is more complex and synthetic than the music that the 8-bit NES is capable of producing.

=== Characters ===
* In the attract screen, Stinkoman, 1-Up and Pan Pan flash onto the screen in a similar fashion to the character introduction in the arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man: The Power Battle|Mega Man: The Power Battle]]'' (featuring Mega Man, Proto Man and Bass).
** A similar character introduction is featured in the [[Wikipedia:Sonic Advance|Sonic Advance]] series for the [[Wikipedia:GameBoy Advance|Game Boy Advance]].
* The intro to [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3|Level 3]] is a parody of Mega Man's limited jumping ability.
* Stinkoman taking the large gray fist as a "new powerup" in Level 3 is a reference to Mega Man's ability to take on the powers of defeated bosses.
** Internally, Stinkoman with the fist is called "Fistman", a reference to the naming scheme of most bosses in ''Mega Man''.
* Stinkoman fights like Mega Man X by shooting at enemies while 1-Up fights like [[Wikipedia:Zero (Mega Man)|Zero]] with acrobatic melee attacks.

=== [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items and Items|Enemies and Hazards]] ===
* '''Stobat''' (first seen in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 2|Level 2]]) is similar to a chicken robot in ''Mega Man V''.
* '''Old Sage''' is similar to the instant-death spikes that are usually placed under moving platforms in various ''Mega Man'' levels.
* The '''trap-door platforms''' refer to the first ''Mega Man'' game, in which similar platforms are found in Guts Man's stage.
* '''Greggo''' is similar to Metall (also known as Mettaur, Metool, Met, or Hard Hat), which was also invincible while ducking.
* '''The Bendini Sisters''' in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|Level 5]] are similar to the meteorites that fall in Star Man's stage in ''Mega Man 5''.
* The '''"Evil Fortress"''' seen at the beginning and end of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9|Level 9]] is a parody of the Skull Castle/Fortress in ''Mega Man''.

== [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda]] ==
* '''My Benj''' is similar to the Bit enemies in ''[[Wikipedia:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'' for the NES.
* '''Stlunko''' is similar to many video game bosses that consist of a mostly inactive head defended by two enormous disembodied hands. Such bosses are popular in the ''Zelda'' series — for example, Bongo-Bongo from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]], Gohdan from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]] and Mazaal from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]].
* '''Saargtsson''' is very similar in appearance and style to [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/content/view/62/46/ Moldorm] from the ''Zelda'' series.

== [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]] and [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong Country|Donkey Kong Country]] ==
* '''Tampo''' moves in a similar way to that of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey_Kong_Country_2:_Diddy%27s_Kong_Quest Krow], the first boss in ''[[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' for the SNES.
* '''Firey-Hot''' bears a strong resemblance to the fire cannons in the airship levels of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
* '''Old Sage''' looks similar to the spikes found in the moon level in ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins|Super Mario Land 2]]''.
* '''The Liekand''' is very similar in appearance to Fryguy, also from Super Mario Land 2. Fryguy, the Level 4 boss, is a flame that wears sunglasses.
* The [[Stinkomanual]] mentions that this game has no "weepy princess crap", a reference to the ''Super Mario'' series (among others) in which the primary plot is to rescue a helpless princess.
** Similarly, Pan Pan's disappearance references many games in which a random character is kidnapped — for example, ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''3''.
* The phrase "Hold B" refers primarily to numerous Nintendo games in which you gain a boost of some sort by holding down the 'B' button. For example, in the ''Super Mario'' series, holding 'B' makes you run faster, and in ''Mega Man'', holding 'B' charges up your shot for a more powerful hit.
** In Stinkoman 20X6, holding down the 'S' key allows you to rapid-fire.
* Many NES games featured the letter 'P' (presumably for "Power") in various forms, such as the P-switches, P-Wings and P-Gauges in ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. This may explain the collectible Ps in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3|Level 3]].
* The name for [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|Level -0 (Negatory)]] is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Minus World|Minus World]] level in ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]'' — a glitch that could be found by walking through a wall in Level 1-2.

== Other Games ==
* If you sit still for a while, your character becomes bored and yawns or falls asleep. This gag was first used in an old PC game called ''[[Wikipedia:Boulder Dash|Boulder Dash]]'', and has since been used in countless video games.
* 1-Up's spin-kick is similar to the [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|''Street Fighter'']] move "Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku" (otherwise known as the Hurricane Kick).
** [[Homestar Runner]] also uses this move in [[dangeresque 3]], but mispronounces it as "The pipes are broken".
* '''Jaro's''' explosion appears to be modeled after many of the character explosions in ''The Adventures of Rad Gravity'' for the NES.
* '''[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 1|Tampo]]''' appears to have been modeled after Andross, the final boss in ''[[Wikipedia:Star Fox 64|Star Fox 64]]''. Andross's "true form" is that of a giant floating brain, and both he and Tampo have the same weak point: the [[Wikipedia:Cerebellum|cerebellum]].
* The sound effect for Tampo's destruction is taken from ''[[Wikipedia:Metroid|Metroid]]'' for the NES.
* Stinkoman's pose with the giant fist at the end of Level 3 is a reference to some of the poses in ''[[Wikipedia:Battletoads|Battletoads]]''.
* [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 4|Level 4]] is a reference to a type of level (often called "Protect The Idiot") used in many video games to give the game some extra variety. In these kinds of levels, a secondary character blindly walks straight forward and depends on the player to clear obstacles and pitfalls.
* In [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|Level 5.2]], you can see a planet in the background that has a C-shaped portion on its left side. This portion bears a striking similarity to the stylized C in the title of ''[[Wikipedia:Chrono Trigger|Chrono Trigger]] for the SNES.
* [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 6|Level 6]] parodies countless video games that include cloud stages.
** In particular, the "pink cloud zone" in this is most likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Earthbound|Earthbound]], where the sixth "Your Sanctuary" location (in Dalaam) is called Pink Cloud.
* After defeating the '''Liekand''' in Level 6, it transforms into a rat. This may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] for the [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Genesis]], in which defeated enemies almost always turned into various animals.
*The Shadowy Figure's fleet (The Level 9 enemies) is a refrence to Sonic Heroes, where the Egg Fleet was modeled after fish.
[[Image:ashtar.png|thumb|Muhahahahaha!]]
* The cutscene featuring the [[Shadowy Figure]] at the beginning of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7|Level 7]] is a reference to a similar cutscene at the beginning of ''[[Wikipedia:Ninja Gaiden|Ninja Gaiden 2]]'' for the NES. This cutscene features Ashtar, the evil boss of the game, seen from behind, surrounded by lightning and laughing maniacally.
* In the cutscene at the beginning of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|Level -0]], Stinkoman blasts part of the wall in a similar fashion to the [[Wikipedia:Kamehameha Wave|"Kamehameha Wave"]], an energy attack seen in the [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball (Manga)|Dragon Ball]] manga series.
* The cutscene at the beginning of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9|Level 9]] shows Stinkoman gazing upon the Evil Fortress from atop a rock. This is a direct reference to a similar scene in ''Ninja Gaiden'', in which the main character gazes upon a fortress from atop a mountain.
* '''Broodacre''' is very similar to the volcanos in ''[[Wikipedia:Gradius|Gradius]]''.
* After defeating '''Harvax XVII''', the robot boss says "PI...PI...PI...". This message is similar to [[:Image:bionic_commando.png|messages spoken by robots]] in ''[[Wikipedia:Bionic Commando|Bionic Commando]]'' for the NES.

Image:Neb-1.PNG|[[Stinkoman 20X6]]
</gallery>
'''Nebulon''' is an alien who is seen in [[Outer Space|space]] and on the [[The Moon|moon]]. He first appeared on [[Main Page 1]], but he was not named until [[The Cheat]]'s cartoon, [[New Boots]]. According to [[Strong Bad]] in the cartoon, no one likes Nebulon's style. He had a cameo appearance in the sole episode of [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"|Limozeen's space cartoon]].

He is also the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#Bosses|boss]] of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|Level 5]] of the game Stinkoman 20X6. It is arguable whether this is the same Nebulon or a [[20X6]] counterpart, as it is bigger, stronger and has a much different physique. If you win the boss challenge in Level 5 of Stinkoman 20X6, [[1-Up]] presumably destroys him, and points out yet again that no one likes Nebulon's style.

==Fun Facts==
*[[Matt Chapman]] said in a [[Inkhole Interview|certain interview]], "[Nebulon's misery] cracked me up to no end. I could watch Nebulon crying and moping away forever."
*His [[Wikipedia:Graffiti#Terminology|graffiti tag]] name is "NEB-1." Graffiti taggers use a "1" after a name to show that they were the first to use that name.

== The Usual ==
Hi! I'm Venusy. I joined the HR Wiki a couple of months after I discovered Homestar Runner, which in turn was a couple of days after [[montage]] came out. I accidently discovered the Wiki while [[Wikipedia:Google|googling]] "Homestar Runner" on Google Images. I removed the extra bits from the URL, and ended up at the [[Main Page]]. My main jorb around here is updating the list below, updating XML sources, voting on [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]], updating the [[#Quote of the Week|QotW]] and reverting things if I feel like it. Umm... for some reason, upgrading to Flash 8 meant I can't play [[Duck Guardian One]] anymore.

== Hey people! ==

I pretty much made this page for helping with Homestar Wiki, but this works for all sorts of stuff in Wikipedia, right?

Anyways, I better get the updating that needs to be done out of the way, don't want to fill up the 'recent changes' page.

Ok, so you may have seen some of my previous work on the Stinkogame [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items|Enemies]] page (however, that was edited and everything so much that a lot of my original stuff is gone, but its still pretty cool, I have to hand it to those guys, they know what they're doing) But I hope I can continue to help and put my 2 cents worth in.

== Ahh, Firefox! ==
As I am sure everyone must know, Mozilla firefox has a homestarrunner toolbar. I have now downloaded Firefox and the toolbar, THIS RULES!

[[Image:Stinkoman house.png|thumb|Stinkoman HQ]]
'''Stinkoman Headquarters''' is a tall building in a metropolis on [[Planet K]] where [[Stinkoman]] lives, possibly with [[1-Up]] and [[Pan Pan]]. Stinkoman tries to get here during Level 1 of [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. The second level of the game takes place here, which appears to have a very large kitchen. It has a [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items|chicken]] infestation. Known furniture includes a refridgerator, a table, a TV with videogames (including Stinkoman 20X6 itself), and a chair, along with some dangerous ovens, stoves and spikes.

Stinkoman 20X6 Real-World References

2006-01-09T14:50:32Z

Clamburger: Skipping redirect

There are dozens of video game references in [[Stinkoman 20X6]].

==General==
* Stlunko, 404 is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:404 error|404 error]] that browsers give when a webpage cannot be found.
* The [[Wikipedia:Piedmont_(United States)|Piedmont]] region of the United States is the area between the Atlantic coastal plain and the Appalachian mountains. Atlanta, home of the Brothers Chaps, lies in this region. [[Wikipedia:Piedmont|Piedmont]] is also a region in Northern Italy.
* Lundsford is a reference to the symbol and/or mascot of [http://www.georgianaturalgas.com/ Georgia Natural Gas]. Billboards featuring this symbol and character can be seen in many places in the Atlanta area where The Brothers Chaps live.
*Negatory is [[Wikipedia:Citizens%27_band_radio|Citizens' Band Radio]] (CB) [http://www.cbgazette.com/slang.html slang] for no or negative.
*[http://www.protekdevices.com/aboutProtek00.htm Protek] is a Tempe, AZ based company specializing in Transient Voltage Suppression products. This may explain why the Protek enemy is an electric outlet.
*Stratosfear is an album by The Unisex, and is a pun relating to the [[Wikipedia:Stratosphere|stratosphere]].

== [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]] ==
*The game controller Stinkoman is holding in the cutscene for level 5.1 bears a striking resemblance to the redesigned NES controller (AKA the dogbone controller).
* The square areas around Stinkoman's face as it fades in on the intro screen are a reference to the method many NES games used to fade large images and backgrounds. Some games exhibited similar color artifacts and glitches primarily due to the NES's small color palette.

== [[Wikipedia:Mega Man|Mega Man series]] ==

=== Graphics ===
* The sprites for Stinkoman and the enemies Poorbt and Astromund are patterned after sprites in the ''Mega Man'' games for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]].
** Additionally, the sprites for the [[Videlectrix Mascot]] are taken directly from ''Mega Man''.
* When shooting at enemies, you are limited to three projectiles on screen at a time. This is a direct reference to the original ''Mega Man'' series, where the Mega Buster could only fire up to three shots at a time. Older video games often limited the number of sprites on the screen to keep the game from slowing down or flickering.
* The bulky, muscular Stinkoman in the game's box art is likely a reference to the first two ''Mega Man'' games. The box art for the American versions of those games featured a similarly muscular Mega Man that looked nothing like the character in the game.
** This practice of creating conflicting box art for American video games was a common practice until around the time the [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] was released.

=== Sounds and Music ===
* The sound effects for text appearing in the cinematics are taken from ''Mega Man'' for the NES.
* The chime sound in the intro screen and main menu is taken from ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man X|Mega Man X]]'' for the SNES.
* Most of the music in Stinkoman 20X6 is patterned after the music from the entire ''Mega Man'' series.
** Technically, the music is most like the music from the SNES line of ''Mega Man'' games, as it is more complex and synthetic than the music that the 8-bit NES is capable of producing.

=== Characters ===
* In the attract screen, Stinkoman, 1-Up and Pan Pan flash onto the screen in a similar fashion to the character introduction in the arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man: The Power Battle|Mega Man: The Power Battle]]'' (featuring Mega Man, Proto Man and Bass).
** A similar character introduction is featured in the [[Wikipedia:Sonic Advance|Sonic Advance]] series for the [[Wikipedia:GameBoy Advance|Game Boy Advance]].
* The intro to [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3|Level 3]] is a parody of Mega Man's limited jumping ability.
* Stinkoman taking the large gray fist as a "new powerup" in Level 3 is a reference to Mega Man's ability to take on the powers of defeated bosses.
** Internally, Stinkoman with the fist is called "Fistman", a reference to the naming scheme of most bosses in ''Mega Man''.
* Stinkoman fights like Mega Man X by shooting at enemies while 1-Up fights like [[Wikipedia:Zero (Mega Man)|Zero]] with acrobatic melee attacks.

=== [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items|Enemies and Hazards]] ===
* '''Stobat''' (first seen in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 2|Level 2]]) is similar to a chicken robot in ''Mega Man V''.
* '''Old Sage''' is similar to the instant-death spikes that are usually placed under moving platforms in various ''Mega Man'' levels.
* The '''trap-door platforms''' refer to the first ''Mega Man'' game, in which similar platforms are found in Guts Man's stage.
* '''Greggo''' is similar to Metall (also known as Mettaur, Metool, Met, or Hard Hat), which was also invincible while ducking.
* '''The Bendini Sisters''' in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|Level 5]] are similar to the meteorites that fall in Star Man's stage in ''Mega Man 5''.
* The '''"Evil Fortress"''' seen at the beginning and end of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9|Level 9]] is a parody of the Skull Castle/Fortress in ''Mega Man''.

== [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda]] ==
* '''My Benj''' is similar to the Bit enemies in ''[[Wikipedia:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'' for the NES.
* '''Stlunko''' is similar to many video game bosses that consist of a mostly inactive head defended by two enormous disembodied hands. Such bosses are popular in the ''Zelda'' series — for example, Bongo-Bongo from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]], Gohdan from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]] and Mazaal from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]].
* '''Saargtsson''' is very similar in appearance and style to [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/content/view/62/46/ Moldorm] from the ''Zelda'' series.

== [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]] and [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong Country|Donkey Kong Country]] ==
* '''Tampo''' moves in a similar way to that of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donkey_Kong_Country_2:_Diddy%27s_Kong_Quest Krow], the first boss in ''[[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' for the SNES.
* '''Firey-Hot''' bears a strong resemblance to the fire cannons in the airship levels of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
* '''Old Sage''' looks similar to the spikes found in the moon level in ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins|Super Mario Land 2]]''.
* '''The Liekand''' is very similar in appearance to Fryguy, also from Super Mario Land 2. Fryguy, the Level 4 boss, is a flame that wears sunglasses.
* The [[Stinkomanual]] mentions that this game has no "weepy princess crap", a reference to the ''Super Mario'' series (among others) in which the primary plot is to rescue a helpless princess.
** Similarly, Pan Pan's disappearance references many games in which a random character is kidnapped — for example, ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''3''.
* The phrase "Hold B" refers primarily to numerous Nintendo games in which you gain a boost of some sort by holding down the 'B' button. For example, in the ''Super Mario'' series, holding 'B' makes you run faster, and in ''Mega Man'', holding 'B' charges up your shot for a more powerful hit.
** In Stinkoman 20X6, holding down the 'S' key allows you to rapid-fire.
* Many NES games featured the letter 'P' (presumably for "Power") in various forms, such as the P-switches, P-Wings and P-Gauges in ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. This may explain the collectible Ps in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3|Level 3]].
* The name for [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|Level -0 (Negatory)]] is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Minus World|Minus World]] level in ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]'' — a glitch that could be found by walking through a wall in Level 1-2.

== Other Games ==
* If you sit still for a while, your character becomes bored and yawns or falls asleep. This gag was first used in an old PC game called ''[[Wikipedia:Boulder Dash|Boulder Dash]]'', and has since been used in countless video games.
* 1-Up's spin-kick is similar to the [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|''Street Fighter'']] move "Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku" (otherwise known as the Hurricane Kick).
** [[Homestar Runner]] also uses this move in [[dangeresque 3]], but mispronounces it as "The pipes are broken".
* '''Jaro's''' explosion appears to be modeled after many of the character explosions in ''The Adventures of Rad Gravity'' for the NES.
* '''[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 1|Tampo]]''' appears to have been modeled after Andross, the final boss in ''[[Wikipedia:Star Fox 64|Star Fox 64]]''. Andross's "true form" is that of a giant floating brain, and both he and Tampo have the same weak point: the [[Wikipedia:Cerebellum|cerebellum]].
* The sound effect for Tampo's destruction is taken from ''[[Wikipedia:Metroid|Metroid]]'' for the NES.
* Stinkoman's pose with the giant fist at the end of Level 3 is a reference to some of the poses in ''[[Wikipedia:Battletoads|Battletoads]]''.
* [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 4|Level 4]] is a reference to a type of level (often called "Protect The Idiot") used in many video games to give the game some extra variety. In these kinds of levels, a secondary character blindly walks straight forward and depends on the player to clear obstacles and pitfalls.
* In [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|Level 5.2]], you can see a planet in the background that has a C-shaped portion on its left side. This portion bears a striking similarity to the stylized C in the title of ''[[Wikipedia:Chrono Trigger|Chrono Trigger]] for the SNES.
* [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 6|Level 6]] parodies countless video games that include cloud stages.
** In particular, the "pink cloud zone" in this is most likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Earthbound|Earthbound]], where the sixth "Your Sanctuary" location (in Dalaam) is called Pink Cloud.
* After defeating the '''Liekand''' in Level 6, it transforms into a rat. This may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] for the [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Genesis]], in which defeated enemies almost always turned into various animals.
*The Shadowy Figure's fleet (The Level 9 enemies) is a refrence to Sonic Heroes, where the Egg Fleet was modeled after fish.
[[Image:ashtar.png|thumb|Muhahahahaha!]]
* The cutscene featuring the [[Shadowy Figure]] at the beginning of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7|Level 7]] is a reference to a similar cutscene at the beginning of ''[[Wikipedia:Ninja Gaiden|Ninja Gaiden 2]]'' for the NES. This cutscene features Ashtar, the evil boss of the game, seen from behind, surrounded by lightning and laughing maniacally.
* In the cutscene at the beginning of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|Level -0]], Stinkoman blasts part of the wall in a similar fashion to the [[Wikipedia:Kamehameha Wave|"Kamehameha Wave"]], an energy attack seen in the [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball (Manga)|Dragon Ball]] manga series.
* The cutscene at the beginning of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9|Level 9]] shows Stinkoman gazing upon the Evil Fortress from atop a rock. This is a direct reference to a similar scene in ''Ninja Gaiden'', in which the main character gazes upon a fortress from atop a mountain.
* '''Broodacre''' is very similar to the volcanos in ''[[Wikipedia:Gradius|Gradius]]''.
* After defeating '''Harvax XVII''', the robot boss says "PI...PI...PI...". This message is similar to [[:Image:bionic_commando.png|messages spoken by robots]] in ''[[Wikipedia:Bionic Commando|Bionic Commando]]'' for the NES.

[[Image:20X6_Badguy.PNG|thumb|My, what a big silhouette you have!]]
[[Image:the_same.png|thumb|right|The same person?]]
The '''Shadowy Figure''' seems to be the antagonist of [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. In the game, he kidnaps [[Pan Pan]] and later [[1-Up]]. His connection with [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items|the rest of the game's enemies]] is unknown, other than the fact that he was shown controlling the fleet that attacked [[Stinkoman]] in [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9|Level 9]].

By looking at the shape of his head, one might speculate he is the [[20X6 Coach Z|20X6 version]] of [[Coach Z]].

Strong Bad whines about other people not finishing the next DVD as soon as he would like.

''{The screen opens with a logo for "Real Live E-mails." Music plays. It fades to the computer desk. Strong Bad leans in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Real-live email! ''{turns to the Lappy}'' See what we got here...

''{Cut to a closeup of the Lappy. Strong Bad starts reading.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
Dear Strong Bad, 
Are you ever gonna make another DVD? I wanna 
watch Sterrance on my TV. 
Yours, 
Leonard from Memphis</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad stresses the second syllable of Leonard. After he finishes reading, the camera cuts to behind Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, good question! Let's go find out!

''{He walks down the hall, to music. Both he and the music stop as he approaches the recording room, where Homestar Runner is talking into a microphone.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''I'' had to repeat the fourth grade. I had to repeat the fourth grade.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homestar! Are you recording lines for the DVD?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Lines? DVD?! I dunno what you're talking about! You interrupted my activity! ''{continues repeating "I had to repeat the fourth grade" into the microphone, a little differently each time}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, weirdon. ''{leaves; cut to Ryan Sterritt, working at his computer. Two croissants are sitting on the desk next to him. Strong Bad approaches.}'' Hey! You! Are you done with my DVD yet?

'''RYAN STERRITT:''' No, I'm not, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's the holdup?!

'''RYAN STERRITT:''' It's hard! It takes, it takes a long time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah? Guess what I takes? These last two croissants! ''{said with a French accent. He reaches for the croissants and "eats" them (actually, he knocks them to the floor.)}''

'''RYAN STERRITT:''' Thanks, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah? Thank you. For not finishing my DVD! You're fired! ''{leaves abruptly}''

'''RYAN STERRITT:''' Again?

''{Cut to Mike Chapman, pouring some cream into a cup of coffee. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, hello, employee of the month! What are you doing?!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Hey, Strong Bad, I'm taking a coffee break.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, really? How 'bout takin' a "get back to work" break?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I've been working all day, since eight AM.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What have you been doin' for my DVD?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I made all the cartoons...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah...

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I did the cover artwork...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh huh...

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I did a bunch of commentaries...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Boring.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I invented you...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, but that was a long time ago. What have you done for me ''lately''?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Um, made you a cup of coffee?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! I'll take that!

''{He reaches for the cup as Mike hands it over, but as a puppet, he can't grab it.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' You gonna be able to hold it? I'm lettin' go!

''{Strong Bad gives up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''You're fired!'' ''{leaves}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{nodding}'' Fired again.

''{Cut to Matt Chapman, holding a video game controller. The Cheat is sitting next to him. Stinkoman 20X6 music can be heard.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' No, this is right.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says something}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' It's the, it's the blue guy.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says something}''

''{Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, who are you?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Oh, no-nobody, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nobody? Well, what are you doing?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Uh, me and The Cheat are just playing some video games, man.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Video games? Why don't you get back to work on my DVD?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Um, no. You know, we're almost to the end boss here, so no.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh! End boss! Whoa!

''{Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey there, Strong Bad! I finished your DVD!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. Ding! ''{holds up a Deep Impact DVD}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Deep Impact?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah! It's a great... it's great!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh! I would so fire you if I thought it would make a difference. ''{leaves}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What are— what do you do, man?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Uh, I do the voice of the Poopsmith, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Really? ''{Matt nods.}'' Let's hear it! ''{Matt silently puffs out his cheeks. After a few moments:}'' Wow. That's really good! You should, like, uh, do that for a living or something.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' You know what? You're fired.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh!... ''{downhearted}'' Yeah. Yeah. ''{leaves}''

''{Cut to the computer desk. Strong Bad walks up to the Lappy. A pile of strongbad_email.exe DVDs is now sitting next to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Leonard, I guess I'll just have to burn these DVDs myself. ''{Pulls out the BMW lighter and torches the pile of DVDs.}'' Oh, yeah! These things will be done in no time!

''{Music starts up as "The End" appears in the same format as the 'toon's title. After a few seconds, cut back to the computer desk. Marshie is now flying over the still-burning DVDs.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Whee! This tickles! Whoo! Aaah! Whoooa!

==Easter Eggs==

*If you hit the "audio" button, you'll hear an alternate audio track. This seems to be the unedited sound from when the puppets' motion was recorded. This differs from the regular soundtrack in the following ways:
**The voices of all puppet characters are muffled.
**Strong Bad refers to the emailer as "Lucy from Stupid" when reading the email.
**Strong Bad clearly calls Homestar "weirdo" instead of "weirdon."
**Mike starts to say "Hey, Strong Bad" before Strong Bad asks him what he's doing.
**Mike can be heard saying "Yup" after Strong Bad says "Oh, really?" the first time.
**Strong Bad replies to the "Eight AM" comment with "Oh, really?" instead of "Oh, yeah?"
**Strong Bad replies with "Yeah" to Mike mentioning the cover artwork and commentaries, instead of "Uh huh" and "Boring."
**Mike can be heard making a somewhat unintelligible response to Strong Bad's "Yeah" that precedes "But what have you done for me lately?" Only a small part of this can be heard in the normal audio track.
**The Cheat says nothing.
**Strong Bad and Homestar's voices don't seem to be supplied by Matt (or Mike, for that matter) in the Matt scene.
**When Strong Bad returns to the computer, he says "Well, whoever" instead of "Well, Leonard."
**The music over "The End" repeats part of the song, making it sound a bit sloppy.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This marks the first time that Marshie's puppet has been seen in an official Homestar Runner cartoon.
*The alternate audio track also marks the first time where Homestar and Strong Bad's voices are done by someone other than Matt and Mike Chapman.
*This is in the same file as the [[Rock Opera (karaoke)|Rock Opera karaoke video]], so it seems to start at 1:46. Also, depending on your DVD player's settings, if you rewind past the beginning of the 'toon, you will see the Rock Opera.

===Remarks===
*Even though Strong Bad's computer is labeled "Lappy 486", the subject bar and all of the options, which are always seen in the animated Lappy 486 emails, are missing.

===Inside References===
*In [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], it was revealed that Homestar gave Strong Bad the Deep Impact DVD as a present, several Decemberweens in a row.
*The game that Matt is playing is [[Stinkoman 20X6]].
**Judging by the level music (Level 1), "The Blue Guy" Matt refers to is probably [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items|Chorch]].

===Real-World References===
*The practice of repeating a phrase over and over with different words stressed to find the best possible reading is a theater exercise made famous by [[Wikipedia:Sanford Meisner|Sanford Meisner]].

[[Image:planetk.png|thumb|Land of the future]]

'''Planet K''' is the planet that [[Stinkoman]] and co. live on, although [[20X6]] seems to be [[Free Country, USA]]'s future. Apparently, in the year 20X6, fighting in the vein of ''[[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball Z]]'' is a common practice. In fact, there seems to be little else to life besides fighting and challenges. The landscape consists of [[The Field|green fields]] with futuristic gray buildings.

Various locations were featured in the game [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. Caverns with pools of lava are found in the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 4|Lava Zone]]. [[The Moon]] itself is populated with various robots and enemies, including [[Nebulon]]. There is also a [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 6|Pink Cloud Zone]], where Stinkoman enjoys his vacations. There is the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7|Ice Zone]], and those venturing there might "freeze to square" if they are not careful. Behind a big wall (which Stinkoman blew a hole in) is the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|Negative Zone]], where everything is glitched. There's also an [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9|Evil Forest]], across which is the [[Shadowy Figure]]'s lair. Malicious robots and other [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items|enemies]] are always close by.

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Checkin' emails for a livin', a livin'. I'm checkin' emails for life. ''{begins reading}''

<blockquote class="email">
Dear Strong Bad, 
I wonder what Pom Pom's family looks 
like. 
Jaro from Podunk</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Er, sounds like a pretty cool guy. ''{typing}'' Well, Jaro, I myself have never seen Pom Pom's family, but I'm sure that they bear the same resemblence [''sic''] to Pom Pom that my family bears to me.

''{A postcard with all three brothers Strong appears. It reads "Birds of a Feather." It stays onscreen for a moment as drums play in the background, and then vanishes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So let's see if we can't theorize what his kinsfolk might look like. ''{says "like" as "a-like"}''

''{Cut to a solid white screen. Pom Pom moves across and stops at the left-hand side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover during the entire scene}'' Okay, Pom Pom has got an orange head, so I'm sure his brother's head would look like a bulldog.

''{A bulldog's head appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And he'd have a horse leg for a body... and leg.

''{A horse leg appears, and the camera scrolls up to show that it's attached to the bulldog head directly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And he'd have boxing gloves for hands—

''{Skinny Strong Bad-like arms appear on either side of the bulldog.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —just like all normal people do.

''{The arms swing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eh, his name is probably "Stom Stom,"—

''{Camera zooms in on the character, and "STOM STOM" appears at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —I'm thinkin'. Ooh, another sibling might very well be a pair of headphones—

''{Stom Stom vanishes, and a pair of headphones takes his place.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —with a floaty face inside.

''{Arms, legs, a floating face, and a cord all appear around the headphones.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know,—

''{The screen splits to show Pom Pom bobbing in The Field on the right-hand side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —because Pom Pom floats a little... bit, when he walks.

''{Pom Pom walks off stage left. The split vanishes with him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That must be his little sister: "Stella Do."

''{The words "Stella Do" appear on the bottom of the screen, and Stella waves her arms.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and Pom Pom talks in bubbles, right?

''{Pom Pom replaces Stella.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, naturally, his parents would be a file cabinet.

''{A file cabinet appears for a moment. Then it shifts to The Field, where Stella Do, Stom Stom, the File Cabinet, and Pom Pom all stand together. Stom Stom rocks his upper body back and forth a few times, and Stella bobs up and down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, that's a good-looking family right there. They could be one of those families on the cover of board games that look ''way'' too enthusiastic about playing a board game together.

''{The screen shifts to static for a moment, and then cuts to the words "Get Ready!!!"}''

'''UNSEEN AUDIENCE:''' Get ready!!!

''{A box for "Jurvy-Skat" appears with a pop. Pom Pom and his made-up family appear on the cover.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Ah-ha-ha, that's right! Get ready for Jurvy-Skat, the classic game of "Oh, no you don't!"

''{The camera shows a closeup of two piles of cards, a red pile labeled "Jurvy" next to the words "Pick One" and a yellow pile labeled "Skat" next to the words "Don't Pick One." Pom Pom's hand grabs a "Jurvy" card.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Pick a card!

''{Pom Pom's hand reaches for a "Skat" card, but he doesn't take it.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Don't pick a card! Pick a card ''now''!

''{Pom Pom's hand grabs a "Jurvy." Zoom out to shot the whole family around the board game, with Stom Stom hitting the table over and over.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Jurvy-Skat from Boardelectrix is great for ages two to filing cabinet!

''{Stom Stom hits Pom Pom in the back of the head. Pom Pom angrily attacks him and the whole family joins in on the fight. Cut to the box again.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Jurvy-Skat from Boardelectrix! Goodtime family fun!

''{As these last three words are said, the words "Goodtime Family Fun" appear at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{quietly}'' Hey, that's pretty good. ''Goodtime family fun''. You— w— we should trademark that.

''{A "TM" appears next to the words with a chime. Cut back to the Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I wish they'd invite me over for some of that action. Order a pizza, rent a movie, play some game with a million pieces that takes three hours just to set up only to find out that you're missing the bathtub. Now ''that'' is some Goodtime Family Fun™. ''{clears screen}'' I wonder if Pom Pom would be cool if I started putting the moves on Stella Do. She's got some hotness methinks. That floaty face. ''{not typed}'' Ooh! ''{typing}'' Oh, wait. She's just hypothetical. Why are all the best girls hypothetical these days? Lemme tell ya, the hypothetical make-out session...not gonna cut it.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Find the hidden Strong Bad head for a scene with Strong Bad and Stella Do in The Field.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' So, Stella Do, wanna come over to my place tonight?
:''{Pom Pom's silhouette bounces on from stage left.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I could maybe plug you into my record player...
:'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles angrily}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Pom Pom! Uh, look man, it's strictly hypothetical between us, I swear! I never touched her floaty face!

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*The Jurvy-Skat cover reads:
<pre>The Game of Classic Game of
Jurvy-Skat "Oh, No You Don't!"

1-43 Players
Ages 2 to
Filing Cabinet
900,000 pieces

boardelectrix</pre>

===Remarks===
*Pom Pom's parents were seen in [[Isle of Pom]], but there they were simply differently-colored Poms. Strong Bad also wrote them a letter in [[pom pom]].

===Goofs===
*The title of this email is misspelled. It should be "Family Resembl'''a'''nce". Likewise, Strong Bad misspells the word in his reply.

===Inside References===
*"Jaro" is the name of an [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items|enemy]] in the game [[Stinkoman 20X6]].
*This is another mention of [[Pizza]].

===Real-World References===
*The game with the missing bathtub is [http://www.hasbro.com/games/?page=viewproduct&product_id=9461 Mouse Trap], a game that has many pieces (including a bathtub) and takes a long time to set up.


===Fast Forward===
*[[Boardelectrix]] later appeared on the site making "THE SHOW! STUPID HOME EDITION!" in [[geddup noise]].

==What a debate should be like==
In a debate, unlike an argument or a good old-fasioned yelling-at-each-other, both sides present their arguments clearly, and accept the other side's arguments graciously. There's debunking of arguments, sure, but no "omg how can u think that?? u sux!!" or anything of that sort. Plus both sides must be willing to change their viewpoint - steadfast stubborness is a bad thing to bring to a debate. I would like to thank [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] for this enjoyable debate about a [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Commandos in the Classroom#And Knowing Is Half the Battle!|fun fact]] that was in [[STUFF]] at the time.

| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Dot com:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | I really think if it was a "knowing is half the battle" takeoff they would have ended the toon with the Commandos all saying together something like, "and information is the key to the universe"
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Phlip:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | not all the cartoons that had these segments did something like that
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Phlip:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | remember it's a parody of the whole genre, not just GI Joe
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Phlip:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | though it is mostly GI Joe
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Dot com:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | there again, we disagree. I think they would have been more blatantly GI Joe if they meant it more than "health class" video
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Dot com:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | *film
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Phlip:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | yeah, I see what you mean
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Dot com:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | to me, it would be like having a robot that looked like a humanoid version of a car and fought in an army against an army of humanoids versions of jets, and then they never transform
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Dot com:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | my plurals are messed up in that sentence
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Phlip:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | still, it's characters from a (parody of a) kids cartoon show doing a public service announcement - it's worth mentioning that the kids shows it's parodying did that too
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Dot com:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | so ignore that
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Phlip:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | agreed the content of that PSA is worded more like a health class video
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Dot com:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | you can't see me, but I'm making that face you make when you're trying to agree with another person but just aren't quite convinced
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Dot com:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | kinda like, ehhh, with the teeth together and the mouth spread
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Phlip:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | this is exactly why it took me this long to vote on the fact...
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Phlip:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | maybe it deserves a rewrite - make it less GI Joe-specific, and less definite (add "could be" or something)
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Dot com:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | I think that would cripple it as far as usefulness. I think the more GI Joe-specific things we find, the better, and the rest is periphery
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Phlip:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | hmm... I guess so
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Dot com:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | and only about 1 in 500 facts is a good "could be", in my estimation
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Dot com:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | although notice I did not say zero
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Dot com:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | every now and then, we need a "could be" or a "may be"
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Phlip:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | how about "This episode is similar to the segments that many 90's childrens shows (including GI Joe) would inclde after their show"
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Phlip:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | removes "based on" and replaces "and now you know" with something more recognisable to people like me who've never actually seen GI Joe
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Dot com:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | see, I don't think it's like those at all
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Dot com:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | it's not preachy enough
|-
| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | '''Phlip:''' || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | true

== About Me ==
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Who the crap?</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
Who the crap is this KieferSkunk guy? 
your pal, fhqwghads</blockquote>

Hi there! My name is KieferSkunk. I am a software development engineer in test (SDET) at Microsoft, and I am also a fan of ''homestarrunner.com''. If you're curious to see more about me, check out my [http://www.kieferskunk.net website] and my [http://www.livejournal.com/users/kieferskunk LiveJournal].

I live in the Seattle area, and as of today (10/26/05), I am just months away from being married to the most wonderful woman in the world. :)

===The Many Things I Have Been Called At Fatburger===

[http://www.fatburger.net Fatburger] is a chain of hamburger joints in the western United States, and I go to one in my area on a fairly regular basis. I almost always order my food to go, so they always ask me for a name to put on the receipt. I usually identify myself as "Kiefer" (and sometimes spell it for them), and they ALWAYS get it wrong. Here's my running list of mispellings so far:

{|

* KIFER
* KEFER
* KIFFER
* KEFFER
* KIPHER
* CIPHER

== What Am I Doing Here? ==
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: How'd you get here?</div>
Dear KieferSkunk, 
Okay, so now that I know who you are, 
tell me what the crap you're doing here. 
 
So totally not your pal, 
Strong Bad 
</blockquote>

=== How I found Homestar Runner ===
Well, see, I used to participate actively in a forum dedicated to [[Wikipedia:Dance Dance Revolution|DDR]] and other music-oriented games, and one day a random link was posted to [[Everybody to the Limit]]. I watched the toon and thought it was rather amusing, so I browsed through the rest of the website for a while. It quickly ended up in my Favorites, and now I visit the site nearly every day to look for updates. At the time I started watching the website, [[island]] was the most recent [[Strong Bad Email]].

=== My involvement with the Wiki ===
I came across the Homestar Runner Wiki by accident in September '05 and decided to join. I mainly have been trying to contribute minor things, such as fixing up spelling and grammar, finding and adding intra-wiki links, etc. I occasionally mess up and ask dumb questions or provide redundant information - be patient with me. :)

[[Image:defender of the wiki.jpg|thumb|The fluoride sting]]
In the time I've been here, I've made a few major contributions (See '''Pages I've Worked On''' below for more info), and I attempted to help revert the damage done by the "[[HRWiki:WikiTroll|Denial Of Service Stole My Cow]]" trollbots (working alongside '''[[User:Bubsty|Bubsty]]'''). I've also joined the [[HRWiki:Recent changes patrol|Recent Changes Patrol]] and the [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee|Welcoming Committee]].

=== Defender of the Wiki ===
:Even in the midst of the blitzkreig of trollbotting on the night of November 11, 2005, KieferSkunk had his wits about him. Along with a host of other stout-hearted users he became a first responder, reverting before the insolent foe had even completed his ill-fated career. For promptitude of the first degree, this [[HRWiki:Barnstars|barnstar]] is hereby awarded. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 08:21, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

=== Pages I've Worked On ===
I'm not going to bother listing the pages where I've made minor edits and fixes - take a look at my [[Special:Contributions/KieferSkunk|Contributions Page]] if you're interested in that. But here are the pages where I've done major edits and rewrites:

* '''[[The Cheat]]''', '''[[Coach Z]]''' and '''[[Homsar]]''' — Organized/rewrote Biographies
* '''[[Reynold]]''' — Organized/rewrote character description
* '''[[The Paper]]''' — Rewrote Oddities
* '''[[In Search of the Yello Dello]]''' ([[In Search of the Yello Dello New Version|new ver]]) ([[In Search of the Yello Dello Old Version|old ver]]) — Remarks and transcript fixes
* '''[[That A Ghost]]''' — Transcript fixes
* '''[[The Best Decemberween Ever]]''' — Major transcript fixes, added several Fun Facts
* '''[[Marzipan's Answering Machine]]''' — Assisted with LOTS of redirect fixes in the x.0 Update
* '''[[Retro Gaming Character Variations]]''' — Populated this page when it was part of Minor Alternate Versions
* '''[[Atari Strong Bad]]''' — Created the article
* '''[[Awexome Cross]]''' — Organized/rewrote the Fun Facts section
* '''[[Population: Tire]]''' — Rewrote the entire article
* '''[[Duck Guardian One]]''' — Placed some SFX, reformatted Level Guide
* '''[[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items]]''' — Rewrote all the enemy descriptions
* '''[[Stinkoman 20X6 Playable Characters]]''' — Rewrote and reformatted most of the article
* '''[[Stinkoman 20X6 Real-World References]]''' — Rewrote and organized most of the article
* '''[[Places Strong Bad Made Up]]''' — Alphabetized the list
* Email '''[[replacement]]''' — Major fixes to transcript and Fun Facts
* '''[[Internet Slang]]''' — Assisted in creation of page, moved it from '''Leetspeak''', fixed redirects
* '''[[Death#Strong Sad's Imagined Death|Strong Sad's Death]]''' — Created the running gag article, then later merged it with [[Death]]''
* '''[[Crap]]''' — Created the page and initially populated it with more than 70 references.

=== People I've Welcomed ===
I joined the [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee|Welcoming Committee]] on November 17th, 2005. Here are the people I've welcomed since then. :)

I'm glad you asked! Here we go:

=== Toons ===
My favorite Toons are [[Strong Bad Sings]], [[Everybody to the Limit]], [[Senor Mortgage]] and [[Under Construction]]. I also enjoyed [[First Time Here?]] (who can forget "It's Dot Com!"? :)).

=== Games ===
I ''love'' retro-gaming references - particularly those in [[video games]], as they remind me of my days growing up with games just like those. In general, I really like how Homestarrunner.com tends to keep with the spirit of the 80's and around that time period, without seeming old and out-of-date. My favorite games on the site are [[Population: Tire]], [[Stinkoman 20X6]] and [[Peasant's Quest]], though I like all of them to some extent.

=== Quotes ===
I see that people are posting their favorite quotes from the site, so I figured I'd post mine as well:

[[Image:Trailer SB.PNG|thumb|"I finally caught that skunk!"]]
* "Oh, why, Homestarrunner.net. It's DOT COM!" -- [[First Time Here?|Homestar]]
* "Aaah! It's the ghost of General Tso!" -- [[ghosts|Strong Bad]]
* "Those loonies are gonna blow up the ocean!" -- [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Silent Rip]]
* "Ohhh, very well. This one's called The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw!" -- [[flashback|Strong Bad]]
* "I am a vampire and" -- [[trevor the vampire]]
* "And coming in at number 3, it's Strong Bad with I Freakin' Hate Sibbie!" -- [[sibbie|The Announcer]]
* "Campus outreach is looking for... um... hang on..." -- [[radio]]
* "What's up Pawkeegan? This is Homestar Runner from Homestarrunner.com, and you're listening to the Cornbread Hour, here on WPKG, pointy-point-five, the voice of Pawkeegan State!" -- [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|Homestar]]
* "Oh, go soak your fat head." -- [[20X6 vs. 1936|The Homestar Runner]]

* '''STRONG BAD:''' I say there, Homestar, butt's twelve by pies? '''HOMESTAR:''' Ooh, yes! I got Strong Bad to say something stupid! The Grumblecakes will be mine!     -- [[stupid stuff]]
* "Coach Z, you jerk!" -- [[Fall Float Parade|Bubs]]
* "Oh, and look! I finally caught that skunk!" -- [[portrait|Strong Bad]]
* "Sorry, Hamburger." -- [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7|Stinkoman 20X6]]

----

I wanted to do that for old times sake. Anyway, I kinda discovered something to make transferring things much easier. If you take the code from 'Tavi pages, put em in Word, and then do a ctrl-f, you can have it replace all the parentheses with brackets. Doing things that way, I can get all my links straightened out before I even put the text in MediaWiki. Just sharing... -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 15:44, 12 Aug 2004 (MST)

== Redirects ==

Tom: I'm seeing some deletion of redirect pages on the deletion log. It looks like most of those pages will not be missed, but it does help to have some "common" misspelling articles redirect to the proper article. This is not for sloppy linking , as no pages SHOULD link to a redirect page. This is for people who come to the site, punch in a name into the search box and are taken to the correct page.

There is always some debate over what constitutes a common misspelling. I created a redirect from Whats her face to What's her face. This seems useful to me. Let me know what you think about this. [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 15:42, 15 Sep 2004 (MST)

:I agree. The ones I've been trying to catch are old links that were not fixed correctly during the move. Things like "MainPage 10" that were used instead of "[[Main Page 10]]" becuase of CamelCase on 'Tavi. The person who created that redirect then went ahead and created one for "MainPage 11", even though nothing linked there. I don't see the need for 21 pages to be created like this. Another example is "sbemail1" and its companions. There isn't a need for that.

:Of course, you also have to remember that we turned on case-sensitivity. That means that "[[What's Her Face]]" and "What's her Face" are also two completely different pages. I'd rather that a link show up in red and someone pick up on their mistake right away then have them continue to make links to redirect pages. But I suppose it would be very hard to keep a lid on things like this once we get going. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:55, 15 Sep 2004 (MST)

::Oh, Contraire! I have often wanted to be able to quickly type "sbemailxx" into the search box to find something quickly. I agree that old camel case links should be removed, but I see nothing wrong with shortcut redirects for the lazy. (I was actually thinking of adding these the other day, then stumbled across this thread. Sorry I'm a little late joining the discussion.) :) --[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] 22:37, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Sebastian Coe ==

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Coe 
''He first ran against Ovett in Prague in 1978 in an 800 meter race that neither won. The next year in Oslo, Norway, '''Coe set his first world records''' (in the 800-meter and '''mile races'''). One of the most famous races between Ovett and Coe was in the 1980 Olympic Games in the 1500-meters. Coe won in Olympic Record time.''

=== Further References ===
From http://www.geocities.com/hotsprings/3257/coe.html 
''He beat Ovett's mile record, running it in 3 min 48.53 sec on August 19; only a week later '''Ovett set another mile record, which was then shattered by Coe''' with a 3 min 47.33 sec run on August 28.''

Here are some of his times in the mile: 
''mile <nowiki>3'48''95</nowiki> 1979 Wr (Oslo)'' 
''mile <nowiki>3'48''53</nowiki> 1981 Wr (Zurich)'' 
''mile <nowiki>3'47''33</nowiki> 1981 Wr (Bruxelles)'' 
Note: Wr stands for World Record.

One final reference: http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/World%20record%20progression%20for%20the%20mile%20run 

And a quote from you; 
:''"Hmm. [Coe] didn't really run the mile. And he never had the world record."'' 
Could you please cite your references?? As far as I can tell, he not only ran the mile, he also held the world record on ''three'' seperate occasions.[[User:Hobophobic|<nowiki>~</nowiki>Hobo]]

== Idea ==

How about desktop background downloads for the wiki? Anyone who wanted to create one could, then e-mail one of the admins the image. Then the admin, if approved, could upload it into the wiki images. It's just an idea, but I like the sound of it. I'd love to have an HRwiki background. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

:Hmm. I don't think so. The problem is this, the Wiki is just for information. If you want to make something on your own and then have it somewhere that you could link to from your userpage, that would be better. See, we kind of tread on this uneasy ground with copyrights and the like. Not only that, but there's also the content issue. I know a background that you would make would most likely be good and wholesome for the Wiki and for Homestar Runner, but I wouldn't want to encourage other not-as-good backgrounds to be made. You are always free to make your own backgrounds, keep them to yourself, use them on your computer, and do what ever you want with them.
:As of right now, I'll say this: I don't think you will ever have an official Homestar Runner Wiki background. But I'll ask around and see what I can do. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:43, 22 Sep 2004 (MST)

::That's fine with me. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

== Floppy Disks ==

Since you apparently look after the floppy disk section mostly, I figured you would be the best person to ask. How do you feel about a picture of the floppy disk container and it's label beside every listing of it in the inside jokes section? I would be happy to complete that undertaking if you approve. Also, is there anywhere else I could add some pictures? I'm finished the rejects section.

-Thunderbird_L17

:[http://old.hrwiki.org/index.php?page=Floppy+Disk+Container%2FStrongBadEmailDiskLabels Floppy Disk Container/StrongBadEmailDiskLabels]. Check it out. The problem is this: the Wiki is text-based, and information provided through text makes things much easier to search and quicker to load. I'm not really sure that having a screenshot of every different one is needed. Why would it need to be seen by the viewer? Could they simply watch the toon or email instead? One thing that really needs to be done regarding The Container is having the links to the page standardized. Every Fun Facts section on every email and toon that has The Container in it should link to the Floppy Disk Container page in a uniform way. You could get started on that, if you want. And then there's what the disks actually reference. There's a subpage of the Old Wiki page on that needs to be copied over and gone through with a fine-tooth comb.
:Regarding the images, you kind of need to convince me why they are actually needed. Thanks for asking though, this has really gotten me thinking. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:31, 22 Sep 2004 (MST)

Well since you already have the list of where the disk case occurs, it should be easy to find the toons to put the link in. I'll get on it later. As far as the floppy images go, I don't think they're NEEDED per-say, but I think it would be kinda cool. It lets people really VISUALIZE the floppys. They would be really small pics too, not full screen. But if you don't want them I won't put them there. As for other pics though, I have been kind of going through the sites putting pictures on everything, if you don't like any of them, feel free to take them off. I just think that any character, object, or place does need a picture to really visualize what the afforementioned thing is. Most of the pages I did only have one or two pics, with the exceptions of The [[King of Town's Castle]] place page, and the [[Tandy_400]] computer page. I kinda may have gone overboard on those ones. Look 'em over and decide. The [[Monkey_D]]'s page also have a few. If you don't like them you can fix them how you see fit. But the widescreen pic in [[Strong_Bad's_Basement]], I'm really proud of that pic. It took me awhile. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 22:24, 22 Sep 2004 (PST)

:Those four pages that you linked to are good. And that basement image is especially good. In some places, it borders on the line of being to much, but I think you played it well. They also could use some small tweaks, but that will all come in good time. As for The Floppies, I think you can make a seperate section on the page for the images and organize them in a table. I actually have all the images, and I can upload them later if you want to use them. (I use them for [http://members.lycos.co.uk/tfpreuss/avatar/avatar.php my avatar] on the forum.) What do you think of that? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:11, 23 Sep 2004 (MST)

Okay, it's up and running..ish. Access it from the regular floppy list. If you have the images, feel free to upload them. Any that you don't have, or don't feel like uploading, I can them. Just upload what you want, and I'll do the rest. Oh, and how do you feel about the naming of images in the Floppy_*name_of_e-mail*.PNG uniformity? You can name then however you want, but I think there should be some form of uniformity in naming the image files. Just tell me if this is okay, and if you're done uploading the images you want. Also, they should all be fullscreen screenshots, right?

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 11:10, 27 Sep 2004 (PST)

Alrightie. Update on the floppy disk container. I've been slowly working away at the Floppy disk container with screenshots page, no help needed there, but as I do so I realized another thing missing from the floppy disk container section, and an actual USEFUL thing, is a breif description and history of the games listed on the floppy disk containers. So that being said, I'm also plugging away at that in my little corner of the floppy disk page. If you would like the commentaries on the main floppy disk page too, which I think would be useful, please let me know so that I can add them to both pages as I go along. No rush though, it'll probably be a few weeks before I'm finished researching them and all. Let me know if you think this would be an improvement to the floppy disk page though. Generally I don't ask permission for editing things, but since you're the senior and keeper of the floppy disk container, I thought it was only fair to ask you. So what are your thoughts?

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 9:45, 6 Oct 2004 (PST)

:I do like the information on what the labels mean, and I wouldn't really call them commentaries. They are all pretty clear cut. Let's see how big they get and then play it from there. Keep them on that screenshot page for now, I don't want to violate [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once]].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:44, 7 Oct 2004 (MST)

Hiho. I've run into a roadblock doing the pics. In the e-mail 'lackey', how did you read, let alone get a picture, of the CD case? It's off the screen! Please let me know, or if you have the pic, simply save it as Floppy_lackey.PNG . Please let me know either way whenever. Thanks.

:I used a program called [http://www.flash-decompiler.com/ Flash Decompiler]. It's a free download, so you might want to give it a try. Though I wasn't able to export the actual image, I was able to read the text. But you might have better luck than I did.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:41, 11 Oct 2004 (MST)

Sorry, I don't like treating you like an FAQ, I just have ONE last question. (Probably)...
I have the program, but how do you get the file onto it? It seems like you can only decompile files on your harddrive. Is this so? If it is, how do you get a flash file (SB E-mail Lackey) onto your hard drive? If it isn't, how do you get it from the interent? Last question, probably. I promise. Likely.

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 7:33, 13 Oct 2004 (PST)

:Down the bottom of each toon's or email's page, there's a link for the flash file. Just right click and choose "Save Link As..." or your browser's equivalent.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:57, 14 Oct 2004 (MST)

Thanks, I got it. What do you think of my floppy for Lackey? It's the best I could do... Anyways, I wanted to ask you about the once and only once policy. Though I agree that it's a good policy, I think that the 'see above' thing destroys the look of the summaries, especially once they are all finished. Plus, 'Manhunter New York' appeared in an e-mail at the top, then a toon way at the bottom. So it would be kind of hard to just say 'see above'. Plus since the picture is repeated, why not the explanation? You are the moderater, and whatever you decide I'll abide by, but in this case, since it's only for about 4 floppies, a number that's not likely to be increased, could I just repeat the explanations?

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 6:28, 15 Oct 2004 (PST)

:You know, I do like the idea of having the information on both. Let's try using a tempate instead. Do you think that will work?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:33, 15 Oct 2004 (MST)

Template? I don't know much about website formating or whatnot. Basically everything I do on the Wiki I learn by looking at how somebody else wrote a code, and then copying that pattern. But if you think the template or whatever will work, go ahead. You were right about floating the pictures to the left, making it into tables, all that kind of thing. Just do what you want, and if I disagree I can always revert. But overall I'm happy with what you do. Does this mean that I can put the repeat explanations on the few pictures though, instead of 'see above'?

-[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] 23:49, 15 Oct 2004 (PST)

:Okay, here's what I did. I created [[Template:tongue of the fatman]], [[Template:lode runner]], and [[Template:manhunter new york]]. Check out the page to see if you like it. Now, there's only one place you need to go in order to change the content that will show up for both floppies.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 07:41, 16 Oct 2004 (MST)

Okay, that works. I don't really plan on editing them much anyways anymore, once the summary is there. But it looks exactly the same, so it's fine. Btw, I fixed the out of place 3.5 inch disk summary, I found a place for it where it fits nicely. Now nothing has two explanations, and the 5.25 inch disks don't have the same summary twice. (See Second 5.25 Inch Disk Summmary)

Hey Tom, I thought JPG format was to be used for videos and pictures, and PNG for all flash material. Plus I think the JPG looked clearer and brighter. If you really don't want it there, then I'll try another way, but I thought I read somewhere that JPG was preferable for pictures, just not for flash. Is the one JPG really that bad? Please clarify. Thanks.

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 06:30, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

:Ah ha. There's a little catch here though. We are talking about a screenshot of a movie or image, and not the actual image itself. Screenshots should always be PNGs. The only kinds of JPGs we should have are photos like [[:Image:TheBrothersChapsBandW.jpg]] or [[:Image:mattchapman.jpg]]. Perhaps an screenshot like [[:Image:puppetdween.png]] better illustrates what I'm trying to say.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 08:35, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

Okay, I getcha. Then I guess I'll just put it back on the old PNG one for now. Thanks. I guess if anything, it adds diversity...

[[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 19:08, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

Alright, I think it's finally done. I have one more little task though that I can't complete on my own. The three templates, Template:manhunter_new_york , Template:lode_runner , and Template:tongue_of_the_fatman are now unneeded, and as such should be deleted, right? I can't figure out how to.

Sorry, I was just going to get breakfast when I finished my summary, and when I finished it I realized there was a stored version that wasn't there when I started. I didn't have time to merge them so I just uploaded mine, and I was going to merge them when I got the chance, which is now. I did notice the picture though, and already put it up. Sorry about that, I don't want to offend anyone. I'm going to merge them right now. I just figured if I put mine in quickly yours is still stored as a past edit, so that way they're both there if needed. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 12:21, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)

Actually, I never thought about NPOV. While I was doing all this, I used reviews as sources, it's easier to just take the opinions of the writers and condence them. But I think that meathod has given the summaries a multi purpose, to now give you a bit of background about the game for curiosity's sake, but also as a type of mini review, for those who are deciding whether or not to find and play them. It gives the summaries a critical and reviewish type feel. Now to go back and do them all NPOV'D would take some doing, and in my opinion I don't think would be as enjoyable to read. What do you think?

== SB Email categories ==

I moved the [[:Category: Strong Bad Email]] as a sub-category of [[:Category: Strong Bad Filmography]]. All the emails were in both categories when technically all SB Emails are part of his filmography by default. It cleans up the Strong Bad filmography nicely and keeps the all the emails grouped together. There is only one email that SB is not in, but due to this arrangement will still be included in his filmography, but taking the IMDB as a guide, if someone guest hosts the "Late Show with David Letterman" it is called "Late Show Backstage", but it still shows up on Dave’s filmography. - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 09:01, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

:Personally I don't think this really makes sense. An email that Strong Bad is not in should not be in his Filmography, despite what IMDb does. [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]]

::I agree. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

:::I also found it a bit confusing. Strong Bad, Homestar, and Marzipan are in all of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]]s, but I don't think that should be a sub-category of any one of their filmographies. I think it would not be confusing to have every email be directly in Strong Bad's Filmography, except [[anything]], just how it was. It would also be less confusing for someone just looking at any email and thinking to themselves, "Oh, this one isn't listed in Strong Bad's Filmography", since it does not show up directly on the page as it is now with the subcategory. That's really what it comes down to, that [[:Category: Strong Bad Filmography]] does not show up on the emails. Oh, and the "anything" thing too.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:56, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

:::Funny, the IMDB is a suitable guide to determine the precedent for a voice over. To me the Filmography categories are proving to be more trouble then they are worth and a misapplication of the original intent of the category structure. I understand wanting an automatically generated list for the 12 main characters that show up in everything, but it seems from all the other character pages that the Wiki users are more than capable of manually tracking the appearances of even the most obscure psudo-characters.

The stucture:
<pre>Character->Filmography->Strong Bad Filmography->Strong Bad Email</pre>

:::makes a lot of sence to me. SB is in all but one email, which can be explained by a note. If having 100+ emails cluttering the SB filmography and being unnessicarily duplicated in the email list and in the email category doesnt bother you, then it wont bother me.

:::I guess I should get going on [[:Category: Biscuit Dough Hands Man Filmography]] while I'm at it. - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 12:15, 12 Oct 2004 (MST)

::::Your presentation just now does make a bit of sense. I'll have to see what others think. Though on that other issue, as I understood it, the filmography categories were never supposed to be extended beyond the 12 main characters. Somewhere along the line, this was not explained well enough and the whole thing took off. I think there's over fifty filmographies now. I'd be happy to draw a line somewhere.

== Who's In Charge Of The Main Page Anyways? ==

Hiho. I'm not getting much of a response on the [[Talk:Main Page|Main Talk Page]], so I figured I'd go straight to the source, assuming that the source(s) are moderators. Anyways, here's my question. Who's in charge of the Main Page, not so much the look of it, I don't really care about that, but moreso the organization of the links to pages. Now I'm no moderator, but I was curious as to why the links are organized the way they are. Why are Inside Jokes part of Wiki Stuff, Yet Songs part of Knowledge Base? I've been thinking about the layout, and I belive I've figued out a good way of sortage, and am hoping for either a yes or a no. Either one, as long as I can maybe get some kind of explanation as to why they're sorted the way they are, should the answer be a no. Anyhoo, without further ado, I give you my sorting idea...

Basically it consists of the Knowledge Base containing ONLY the things listed on the H*R main page(s), and putting everything left over into Wiki Stuff. It would look something like this, and would have the added bonus of evening the two sections out, leaving External Links on the bottom...

(The Knowledge Base Stuff)

* [[Toons]]
** [[Strong Bad Email]]
** [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]]
** [[Teen Girl Squad]]
** [[Powered By The Cheat]]
** [[Puppet Stuff]]
** [[Holiday Toons]]
* [[Games]]
* [[Characters]]
* [[Downloads]]
* [[Store]]
* [[Email]]
* [[Legal]]
* [[Main Pages]]
** [[Weekly Fanstuff]]
** [[Quote of the Week]]
** [[Sketchbook]]
* [[Museum]]
* [[Secret Pages]]

Then this to the right of it: (Perhaps the first part even in an additional section?)

* [[Places]]
* [[Items]]
* [[Songs]]
* Quotes
* [[Glossary]]
* [[Inside Jokes]]
* "Rejects"
(Perhaps another section here?)
* [[Special:Listusers|List of registered wiki users]]
* [[Links]]
* [[Sightings]]
* [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards]]
* [[HRWiki:Ledger|Ledger]]
* [[HRWiki:Projects|Projects]]
* [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]]
* [[WikiTroll]]
* [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee|Welcoming committee]]

Then the external links in another catergory. Is there any problem with this layout? The idea behind it is that the first section are your main ingrediants, and the second one is things that you can make out of them. I just belive that things such as Rejects and Inside Jokes should be in the same catergory as things such as songs and items. Any answer to this would be much appreciated, and then I'll shut up about it. Thanks alot Tom. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 02:33, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I'm not really sure. Your line of thinking makes sense, however I'm thinking it is our system of classification that really seems to be the issue. Inside Jokes? Rejects? What the heck are those really? Things need to be clearly defined and a system needs to be implimentated to classify things.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:57, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

Hmmm... Thats a good point. Okay, well at least keep my organizational idea in mind as you go about implementing the changes. And with that, I withdraw from the Main Page arguments and leave it in the rest of the Wiki's capable hands. -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 16:29, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)

== STUFF and Fun Facts ==

As you may have read I have an issue with the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page. I am very glad someone has spearheaded an attempt to control the "fun fact" problem, but I still think that the voting and discussion for disputed Fun Facts should be made on the article's talk page and not on the STUFF page.

If a controversial article like [[Wikipedia:History of Israel]] can exist on the Wikipedia by using the Talk page and without resorting to a common page voting system, I think the Homestar Wiki article [[virus]] can too.

Now that we have people's attention with the [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] page I suggest that we move content discussion back to the Talk pages where they belong.

I have created a preliminary template:disputed

It reads as follows:{{disputed}}

This could be used to let contributors know that there is a dispute, and to direct them to the talk page. The Disputed Fun Facts link should go to a page with the info that [[User:furrykef |furrykef]] wrote on what is and is-not a good fun fact.

People were not using the talk pages effectively in the past, which is a failure of us the users, not of the talk pages.

-[[User:Drhaggis|[[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]]]] 16:35, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I completely agree that talk pages are not effectively used by our users. I did read your comment on the talk page and did like some parts of it.

:You mentioned there that the popularity of the "Stuff" page is typical of a sloppy discussion forum and not an article based reference guide. I indeed was amazed at all the users who were very interested in voting. It appears that a quick vote and comment is much easier than proposing fixes and improvements.

:You also presented the idea that this problem inherent mostly because the Homestar Runner Universe is finite. I completely agree. I also believe this is why some users, instead of improving on articles that already exist, create very small articles for very fringe elements of said universe. While I don't think that the Stool article may be one of these, I'm not entirely interested in proposing other examples at this time.

:While this may not be the time or place to discuss your other comment on that talk page about proper classification, I believe it would be important to address that issue with whichever system is accepted for the dealing with fun facts.

:As [[User:furrykef|Kef]] noted in his reply to your comment, the STUFF process was loosely based on Wikipedia's Votes for Deletion process. I do like Wikipedia's VfD process and have participated in it in the past, but as you may notice we don't have a system like this for dealing with the deletion of pages because we are so small. It works for Wikipedia but would simply would not work for us.

:Throughout my travels around Wikipedia, I have seen several pages with notices like the one on the [[Wikipedia:History of Israel]] page. While I don't believe the scale of discussions here will every reach such a level as that, I am willing to investigate the possibility of using such a system.

:If we were to adopt your proposal, I would want some sort of centrally located instruction page. As you mention, this could contain some of Kef's rules from the STUFF page. I'd also want it to list all the pages that are currently going through the process.

:Of course, your proposal is in direct conflict with the current STUFF system, which the users seems to have latched on to. I like your proposal, but I'm interested in hearing how you would implement it given the current circumstances.

:Thank you for being bold enough to propose an alternative.

:Your concern is understandable, but the whole "rejects" thing really isn't to Drhaggis and my liking.

:I think the "Rejects" page should be deleted. If we as a community have deemed a character or item "article worthy" we simply create the article and categorize it accordingly.

Hi Tom! Thunderbird here again, with a special task for a few of my fellow users.

== Rock Opera Context Note ==

Tom,

Hello. I hope your day is well.

I disagree with your moving the work left to do on the rock opera context page to the discussion page, for the simple reason that NOBODY will see it there. If it can't be on the main page, then it should be deleted altogether, as it is serving no purpose.

The point of putting up the note was to aid people in knowing which words were still missing and at the same time encourage those die-hard troupers out there to help complete the page (kind of like a game). You know who I'm talking about: that special someone who is gonna figure out exactly which "I" was used from "lackey".

Therefore, I believe the note should be reinstated at the head of the main page. Besides, it's only temporary... just till we get this thing done.

Kind regards, 
[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:58, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

:I understand and appreciate your concern. However, articles are designed to be read as articles and nothing else. There should never be notes or instructions left for future editors. This is mentioned explicitly in the [[HRWiki:Standards#Don't use conversational style|don't use conversational style]] section of the [[HRWiki:Standards|wiki standards]]. Wiki users, especially the die-hard troupers you mention, know to look at Talk pages. That's what they are for.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:05, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

I see your point. I still don't completely like it, but at least I agree with you now. This particular page is close to my heart because I'm the one who set it up and got the ball rolling on filling in the words (although, I'll admit that ''someone'' would have done it eventually). It also happens to be the very first page I've created for the Wiki. I'm so pleased that the community has deemed the page useful and that they're helping to finish it with such vigor. I watch excitedly as each new entry is filled in. (I would do more research myself, but I've got this stupid ''job'' thing where I have to be if I want money. You probably know how that goes.)

Cheers, 
[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 11:49, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

:No problem. I'll remove the note again. I'd also like to bring to your attention the [[HRWiki:Projects]] page. That might be a better spot for you to put a note.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 13:10, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)

==[[Strong Bad Email By Name]] Tables?==

I've put tables up on the A's and B's section of [[Strong Bad Email By Name]]. What do you think of this? Do you think it's better? Any suggestions as to how the tables should be better? Should I leave it as 'N/A', ''N/A'', 'None', or just leave it blank or something? Any input or blessing would be much appreciated. I'm just gonna leave it there until I get some kinda direction from a higher power (I.E., Mod). Thanks.

I know I probably shouldn't put this on your wiki, but on your website, the link to the NYU video is dead or something. Do you have any advice on how to open it? I was there, but I'd love to see it again! And this way, I won't have to stand outside in the cold for 2 hours holding a yellow sign to get tickets again.

:Similar occurences appear on other pages where the lighter is used. Would you like me to remove those fun facts too?--[[User:-erson|-erson]] 14:47, 3 Apr 2005 (MDT)

::I suppose as long as there is a link somewhere in the article there isn't any harm. But make sure the fun facts don't afford any additional information before you remove them.

==Redirectetiquette?==

Okay, I changed the links from Sketchbook to [[Museum Sketchbook]], and moved the page there. But I can't seem to move [[Weekly Sketchbook]] to Sketchbook. Is that because it's got the redirect there, in which case do I need to first wipe the Sketchbook page clean, and then move the page there? ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 17:54, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)

:I'll be interested to see Tom's reply, because I'm pretty sure you can't have both an article and a redirect with the same name. But I also have a question for both of you: Shouldn't the museum sketchbook article be called <nowiki>[[Sketchbook (museum)]]</nowiki>, instead of <nowiki>[[Museum Sketchbook]]</nowiki>? After all, the tab on the file folder just reads "Sketchbook". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:07, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)

::Dang, not again. I just don't know. I think it's pretty safe to say that the weekly should just be 'Sketchbook', but yea, the Museum one is kinda 'sketchy', (slight pun intended).

Hi Tom:

First, thanks for hrwiki, it rules and I visit at least weekly. If you browse to [http://jfwiki.org my new wiki] you'll see that I've stolen (respectfully appropriated?) some of your excellent help text and another thing or two. Wikisource comments give you props.

But there's something else I want to learn from you: how do you make fundraising or sysop announcements appear across the whole wiki?

Bowing humbly, [[User:spblat|spblat]] 20:42, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Email ==

Whoa! Yes, yes I most assuradly do. Only every two or three days though, and my junk folder even less, due to the unholy ammount of spam I am bombarded with. But I just sifted through, and found it. I also added you to safe list, so all future emails from yourself will be replied to much faster. Come to think of it, I'm gonna go and add all sysop addresses to my safe list.

==Sysop Question==

Hey Tom, I have a question about the new Sysop abilities. Just how do I do the Recentchanges Patrol ability? And what exactly would I be viewing? Aren't edits instantanious? So how do I view them ahead of time? Thanks Tom. ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 03:24, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:When you view edits via the RecentChanges page by clicking on the "diff" link, you now have the option to "[Mark as patrolled]". This removes the red exclamation point on the RecentChanges list, alerting other sysops that you've checked out that edit so they don't have to.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:49, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::Sweet, That's useful. I was wondering what those red marks were for. Okay, thanks. ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'' 04:06, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:::Actually, you can mark a change as patrolled if you are or aren't a sysop. At least, I could. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

== Format Help ==

(copying what's on my Talk page) Hi there -erson. I've deleted your "formathelp" Template and Category. If something is formatted incorrectly, just fix it.

::[[Help:Editing]] contains all the advanced formatting you should need to make a page. You can also use the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]] for practice and ask questions and request help from other users (I'd be happy to assist).

:::Quite sadly, there's no such thing as a permanent ban. We can ban a particular IP address indefinitely, but ISPs assign users new IP addreses frequently, especially on dial-up. Banning any IP indefinitely is just as likely to block out legitimate users who inherit the blocked IP sometime down the road as it is to keep the troll from coming back.

:Homsar999: I didn't delete the page. You can check the [[Special:Log/delete|deletion log]] to see that [[User:FireBird|FireBird]] did. [[User:Trogga|Trogga]] marked it for deletion, probably because all it contained was "Balding Man's Living Room is where Balding Man lives. It is first seen in Senorial Day.

== More Fanstuff Sysops ==
Do you think you and the other big admins could get a fanstuff sysop nomination going for the Fanstuff Wiki? There are only two active sysops there as of right now, and they get overwhelmed occassionally. For example, someone made a page that insulted a user and had profanity in the page title alone. Although several users find about it quickly and marked if for deletion, it stayed around for about two weeks before one of the sysops found it. It took even longer for the creator of the page to be banned. So... yeah, many users think more sysops are needed. Thanks for considering this, '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''.

:Okay. Consider it done.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:15, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

JoeyDay and Tom select the sysops, but the last time they did, all but one of the new sysops were nominated on a special page by regular users. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:06, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm not asking you, Jay. And even though you responded, you didn't answer the question! I was talking to Tom!

:Umm, yes he did answer both of your questions. The first one is answered by ''"JoeyDay and Tom select the sysops"'', and the second question with ''"sysops are the people who delete articles, as well as block abusive users"''. '''Anyone''' can answer a question set on a talk page, even if they were not the intended reciever of that comment. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 22:29, 10 June 2005 (BST)

:: It's a Wiki -- anyone can respond on any talk page. And Jay's answer is correct. To continue the answer, however, the way you get nominated / chosen for a sysop is by making significant, useful edits (like undertaking large formatting projects) and showing good judgement in both your own edits and in dealing with other wiki-users. Reverting from trolls is also a good thing to do. It only happens when the existing admins are looking for new ones, which I'm guessing won't be for quite some time. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 21:33, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hmm i ''guess'' that proves me wrong. I just thought it was odd that your little brother would sign on, create a user page then within a few seconds you correct him online...but then again i'm weird.

What do you mean Tony Stony?

Its none of my business is what I mean...I just thought it weird. Btw it is possible to sign your posts with 4 tildes. Comme ca: [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 19:25, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== STUFF stuff ==
Afternoon, Tom. I've been busy all morning closing out old STUFF discussions. I have a little ways to go, though. Also, I wonder if we could speak more about how the page should be redesigned before anything major is done to it. Put a note on my [[User_talk:It's dot com|talk page]] and I'll meet you in the IRC. Thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:35, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Sure.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:27, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm back, as promised. Are you around? I'm monitoring the IRC. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:32, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Hey Tom. I am making good progress:
:*[[HRWiki:stuff test1|A mock-up article]]
:*[[Template:STUFF/stuff test1|The resulting STUFF subpage]]
:*[[HRWiki:Select_The_Usable_Fun_Facts/stuff_test3|The index (which will become the STUFF main page)]]
:*Plus all the templates so far

:Yet to do:
:*Organize/polish the instructions
:*Create the templates for closed facts
:*Have other users test the ease of use
:*Convert current items to new format

:The hardest part isn't figuring out how this will work. The hardest part isn't even figuring out how to streamline the process to minimize keystrokes and errors. No, the hardest part is figuring out how to explain it so that novices can understand.

:I was hoping to go live today, but I see that ''that's'' not going to happen. Now I'm hoping to go live by midweek. (Right this second, however, I'm hoping to go get some good sleep.) Let me know how you think it's going. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:07, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Admin Nomination ==

I'm sure we're not looking for any new sysops after this thing in April, but I think [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] would be a great sysop. He seems to be working harder around here than any of us sysops anyways, and he always seems to have good judgement. I'd love to have him on the team. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 22:47, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I can't remember the specific instance, but in the last day or so I've thought to myself, "Isn't BazookaJoe an admin?", so whatever was going on at the time must have been good. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:17, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I always forget that he ''isn't'' an admin, because he uses the same "reverted from (whoever) to last version from (whoever)" message. I guess he types it in manually... {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 00:29, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::True, but he has only been around for a little over two months. There are some users that have been around significantly longer that I think are also deserving of sysopness. I do like the guy, and would be happy if he became a sysop, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Admins leave it a few months yet before opening another Nomination Window. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:46, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Question ==

On the picture of you are you the one on the left or right I'm guessing you're on the right because the left one looks not happy, but it doesn't look like matt because of the hair.

:I'm in the Duck Shirt and jacket. [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] (not [[Matt Chapman|Matt]]) is in the red shirt with the scarf.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:37, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::And it isn't that Mike is unhappy... He apparently just takes [[User:DaChazman|bad pictures]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:16, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for answering my question guys, and uh that link to bad pictures looks like Matt is wearing that same shirt as the picture on this page.

:Yeah, they were taken less than five minutes apart at the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|NYU Talk on Mar 1, 2005]]. In fact, you can actually see a bit of my head in the background of DaChazman's photo.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:57, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Forum namespace ==

How come there's not a convenient external namespace for the forum? You know, so that <nowiki>[http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?t=XXXX] could be replaced with [[Forum:XXXX]]</nowiki>, or something similar. How's our bandwidth lookin'? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:04, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:That's not a bad idea, I'll look into that. Though you should probably remind me after next Monday. Our bandwidth is still looking, but I think we are down to the final hours here.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:04, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Will do. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:::Here is the reminder you requested. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:17, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::::Done. Example: <nowiki>[[Forum:15|thread 15]]</nowiki> becomes [[Forum:15|thread 15]]. Oh, and just so I remember for next time, they are interwiki links, not namespaces.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:52, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== On the wiki ==

I'm working on the transcripts as fast as I can... what, do you think I eat, sleep, and breathe Homestar Runner... don't answer that. ;) Seriously, we're working on them. But having Mike mention that he read something on our wiki has got to be the ultimate prize for us. It's like, poring over all the crazy details that we do has, in a small but significant way, paid off. I think we should permit ourselves in this case to announce it in big, bold letters. Or at least in italics. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:12, 28 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Goofs vs. Typos ==

"Goofs" are mistakes TBC make; for the purposes of our discussion, ''Strong Sad'' made these mistakes. We don't note mistakes Strong Bad makes in his emails as Goofs; rather, we note them in the Remarks. Since there were enough of Strong Sad's mistakes for a whole section, I changed it to "Typos". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:07, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I'm not really the guy who would know the difference. I only made that change for two reasons:
:#"Typos" isn't one of the ways we categorize Fun Facts. [[HRWiki:Standards#Fun Facts|Goofs is]].
:#The Francis Scott Key fact is a Goof. I knew it wasn't a typo, so I changed the header to Goofs for lack of a better choice for that particular grouping.
:That being said, the Key fact is probably the only one of the four that are currently under that header that really is a Goof. The typos by Strong Sad should probably be moved to another section. Maybe Remarks?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:35, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Goofs may be our standard category, but we are flexible enough to accomodate a special category on a toon-by-toon basis. For example, [[50_emails#Homestar.27s_attempts_at_DELETED|Homestar's attempts at Deleted]]. I think these should be grouped together since there are several of them. How about "Strong Sad's Goofs", or "Strong Sad's Mistakes", or something similar? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:42, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== You are appreciated ==

I was looking over your talk page, and it's been way too long since someone wrote to tell you thanks for all the work and maintenance you put into the site. Thank you! I was propted to tell you this today when I saw that, simply by my uploading an image, you created a new template to replace the makeshift GFDL blurb I had on the image; created a new category for other existing, similar images; and then sought out those five other images that should be in the category and added the template there as well—all within the blink of an eye! I would hope that we all make the wiki experience a little better for those around us, and I must say you certainly do that. And then some. Sincerely, [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

Oh, well that's a problem. It was on a poll on the second Fanstuff Forum, which is offline for an indefinite amount of time. (it seems that its host quit) I'll create a new poll if you want me to, but I don't think that's nessecary.

== Invitations ==
So, what's up with these invitations-to-anonny's-to-create-accounts dealies? I love the idea; is the concept to extend indiscriminately to all except trolls, or to use in those "Whoa—that was a beneficial edit! Why is this guy an IP?" situations? I ask because [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=24.30.124.162 24.30.124.162] seems to be rather articulate and wikiliterate. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:39, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

== Username redirect ==

Hi Tom, while JoeyDay is out, I'm asking you this: Can I have a userpage redirect to mine? I was thinking about [[User:Elcool]], because my freinds sometimes look for me on the wiki, not by my correct name. Some other users could use a redirect with common misspellings. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 13:23, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
:It's not unheard of... [[User:Thunderbird]] redirects to [[User:Thunderbird L17]]'s page, although I dunno if he got permission for that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::E.L. Cool, this leads to an interesting line of thought. We could take this in two directions:
::#We do not allow users to have redirects from common misspellings etc. to their correct username. We never have allowed someone to have "two" userspaces, and this would go along with that semi-policy. Then, someone comes along and registers [[User:Elcool]] and starts making edits. Someone like [[User:It's dot com]] or myself would then approach this user and ask that they choose a new name, since the one they chose is too close to the existing user [[User:E.L. Cool]]. (This comes to mind because it happened [[User talk:It's dot org|quite recently]].) Then I suppose we'd block the [[User:Elcool]] account so it wouldn't happen again. At that point, if you came and asked if you could have that page redirect to your own, I don't think I'd be able to say "no".
::#We do allow users to have redirects from common misspellings etc. to their correct username. We'd probably want to set up a process for this, however, because if people just started doing this willy-nilly, we might get people registering for usernames that were already redirects. We'd want to make sure what ever names were redirected where blocked as well.
::I also don't think I'd want this to become a normal thing, where everyone and their grandmother goes and thinks of all the possible permutations of their username and then goes and makes dozens of redirects. I don't think it's altogether too common that this kind of thing would happen.
::DorianGray, the redirect you bring up has a different intent associated with [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Thunderbird&action=history its history], and at this point is an exception.
::So at this point, hold off on doing anything for a while. I'm going to want to get Ben's input on how we should handle it, but as of right now, it looks like it could happen. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:05, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::I have pondered similar issues to this one in the past. I am open to the idea, although I agree that to just turn everybody loose would not be the best course to take. For one thing, I don't like having user pages that don't correspond to a username in the database. I would like to consider how the problem might be solved elegantly (along the lines of a Special page or something) versus creating and blocking usernames that will never be used. Let me think on it and I'll tell you what I come up with. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:04, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

== Robots.txt ==
You seem to be the senior sysop around here (I think), so while JoeyDay isn't here, I'll ask you instead.

The Robots.txt file at http://hrwiki.org/robots.txt has this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /index.php/HRWiki:Sandbox
...which disallows just the Sandbox. However, the Robots.txt file at http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/robots.txt has this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
...which disallows everything. Why is this? Can you change it? -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 07:11, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

:It's like that because we (The Admins) do not want the fanstuff wiki indexed by anything. And sorry, but no we aren't going to change it. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:32, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
::Why don't the admins want it indexed? -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 12:43, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

:::The primary reason is so that it doesn't show up in search engines. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:12, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

::::...and why don't the admins want it showing up in search engines? -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 16:13, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::Because it isn't built on strictly canon material. In other words, the knowledge base documents and adheres as closely as possible to the cartoons and concepts found on H*R.com as written by TBC, whereas any fanstuff is by definition made up by somebody other than TBC. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:20, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

::::::What does that have to with the Fanstuff showing up in search engines? -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 17:15, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

:::::::[[User:It's dot com]] is correct, but the reasoning behind our decision was slightly different. The fanstuff wiki was only created to appease a small minority that wanted fanstuff brought back after we decided not to bring it back when we moved to MediaWiki. The Admins didn't want the fanstuff wiki, but relented due to what I can only call persistent whining. One of the conditions of our creating fanstuff was to make sure that search engines did not index it. This was for two reasons:
:::::::#We are very protective of the HRWiki name. We do not administer fanstuff closely enough to control the quality of the content.
:::::::#And as It's dot com mentioned, we don't want anyone searching for actual Homestar Runner knowledge to be confused with what they find there.

== Animal ==

You REALLY sent animal?
*yes, as a matter of fact i did.

Hey, dude, my name's similarity to yours is coincidental. I was going for ISmoteTheKerrek, but I wasn't thinking of the line when I came up with it. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 16:06, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)
*Dude! Ahem, I mean Spud Jr. Your email was the 1st on the Lappy! That's amazing! But, uh...is your name like Spud and your Dad's being Spud Sr.? [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]

*In a sense, but not really. My dad's nickname for me was Spud. I wanted to have a dumb name, and bad grammar. I accomplished both of 'em pretty easily! --[[User:kerrek slaya|kerrek slaya]] 23:18, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

== Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Buddy Icons, and others ==

Why have you uploaded most of the Sweet Cuppin' Cakes buddy icons, and some other images? The admins don't mind one or two personal images, but you've uploaded about ten in about as many minutes! Some already in higher quality elsewhere! (i.e. roboguy.JPG, see [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items]], and anonymous contributor.JPG, see [[Anonymous]]) Bit of a waste, don't you think? --[[User:Venusy|Venusy]], 19:05, 27 April 2005 (BST)

== Signature ==

You signature is all well and good, but it is a bit too long. It should really only state your username once, good signatures are clear and consise. Thanks in advance for taking care of it. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 19:57, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
: I think I changed it, so it should be fine now. Let me know otherwise. {{User:kerrek_slaya/sig}} 23:44, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

== Sig links ==

Do you mean for your sig to point to the ''lowercase'' version of your user/talk/contributions pages, even though said lowercase versions won't work on the Wiki right now? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:17, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
:I have fixed all the lowercase issues and also made your "edits" link work correctly. Also, I noticed you have some style tags that are only around spaces. Perhaps you meant the words "talk" and "edits" to be in different colors? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:53, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
:Yeah, i tried for them to be in different colors, but it didn't really work. I don't know that much code, or what it's called. Oh well. {{User:kerrek_slaya/sig}} 22:16, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
::[http://www.visibone.com/colorlab/ Here] is a link to some color codes.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 22:18, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
::Or just the [[Help:Signature|sig]] help page. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 22:18, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
:::I'd already looked at the sig help page, it doesn't show how to add colors to links.

This is what happens when I do the 4 ~ keys for my sig. {{User:Urmean15/sig}} 01:12, 13 November 2005 (UTC) 01:01, 13 November 2005 (UTC) see?/ Yay I fixered it! Hurrrah!

== Who and How? ==
* Kudos to whoever restored my User page and talk page. But, how did you do that? Thanks! {{User:kerrek_slaya/sig}} 22:31, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

<big>'''This is an archive. Please do not add discussion here. Voice your opinion on upcoming featured articles on [[HRWiki:Featured Article Selection|this page]].'''</big>

----

What about this? Here's the articles right to week 30. Now let's start discussing what they should be/start working on them! Discussion for each seperate week goes below the potential page. Once they're finished, we add them to the [[HRWiki:Featured articles]] page.

===[[HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 26]]=== - [[Floppy Disk Container]]?

:Anybody mind if we do the [[Floppy Disk Container]] for week 26? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:36, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

===[[HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 27]]===

:What about [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters]] for this week? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:36, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::How would we do this? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 00:40, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::Simple, just write a brand new paragraph or two about Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters, and link it to the bigger page. Same sort of way of doing Floppy disk container, I'm still trying to figure out what to write, but I'm sure something'll come to me... {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:59, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::The paragraph that is displayed on the [[Main Page]] should be the intro paragraph from the article. See the [[HRWiki:Featured articles|previous featured articles]] for examples. If an article one thinks should be featured doesn't have a good intro, then they could certainly write one and include it in the article. Part of the idea of having featured articles is that people will want to improve current articles to bring them up to "featured status" or something like that.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 02:43, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::::Quite true. So basically, if the potential article doesn't have a good enough intro, we could just write one for the featured summary, and then add it to the page as well, then it would be all set, right? Basically what I'm wondering is if my paragraph for the Floppy Disk Container is *almost* good enough. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:20, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::::::Yeah, exactly. And once we come up with other requirements, people can strive to improve articles to that standard as well. That's really what it's about, not just having something nice for the Main Page. Check out [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:What is a featured article|Wikipedia's requirements]] for ideas, but keep in mind that we aren't Wikipedia and can make up something slightly different that fits our needs.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]]
:Okay, are we doing this or not? --[[User:ColorPrinter|ColorPrinter]] 22:42, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

===[[HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 28]]===
:Howzabout [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]] for this week? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 17:51, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::I also wouldn't be against leaving [[Floppy Disk Container]] for another week. Since it really didn't get much of a week...[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:02, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Well, it's week 27, and there's a blank gap on the Main Page. We need to have something! {{User:Rainer/sig}} 02:53, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::So, week 27 became [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. I think [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]] would be an okay choice. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:26, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::I hope you don't mind, but because Monday was fast approaching and it wasn't being written, I wrote the article about Strong Bad's Message Bored. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:10, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

===[[HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 29]]===
:I nominate [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items]]. I just love those little sprites. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:26, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:The Paper wanted [[Teen Girl Squad]]. I don't think that would be a bad idea. -[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:10, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::[[The Cheat]] has my vote. Meh! {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

:::I think [[20X6]] would be good choice. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:05, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::I nominate [[tape-leg]] —[[User:Dothedoodoo|Dothedoodoo]]

:Well, I'm back from vacation. And given the nominations for this spot, my reccomondation would be to give it to 20X6, Leave Teen Girl Sqaud for a week or two, and wait until Stinkoman 20X6 has run it's course before giving it top spot. Any other suggestions anyone, or would we be happy with [[20X6]]? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:31, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Sounds good to me... {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:04, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::Okay, it's in. How's the length looking? Too long? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 08:23, 16 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::A bit too long. You can trim off the the whole [[time capsule]] example, and ''{this will be debatable}'' the speculation about Coach Z, The Cheat, and The Poopsmith. (I forgot to tell you about the good points: expertly crafted and handed in before the due date!) —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 14:37, 16 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::I just tried it with a quick preview on the front page and it is a bit long. BazookaJoe's recommendation seems the best course of action. I'm removing the third paragraph now.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:28, 16 Jul 2005 (UTC)

This page contains lists of the various Homestar Runner characters. If you're new to Homestar Runner, you'll get a pretty good idea what's going on by simply getting familiar with the main cast members. If you're interested in going a little deeper, try the secondary characters.

__TOC__

== Also known as... ==
Sometimes the Brothers Chaps recreate the entire cast of the website in an alternate style. This section is for tracking and organizing all of the variations of the main characters.

There are also complicated narrative modes on the site. Strong Bad often answers "What If" questions in his emails, which leads to minor variations on normal characters. Anything created by The Cheat has a very rudimentary flash style. Puppets are sometimes used in lieu of animation. The 100th Strong Bad Email deliberately uses an animation style which matches some of the earliest work of the Brothers Chaps.

=== [[Old-Timey]] ===
1930-era toons from the days of black and white silent movies and early talkies.
