(It focuses on Strong Bad talking to Marzipan at the party, and then shows some additional activities that Strong Bad can do.)

Unless we...<br /> *Consider whether to transcribe the ENTIRE game?<br /> All these issues are discussed [[Talk:Homestar Ruiner#Transcript|here]], [[Talk:Homestar Ruiner#Walkthrough|there]] and [[Talk:Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People#Legal Rampage Issue|also here]]. Oh, and I won't be able to do any of this until I get my own laptop or we connect the Wii via our broadband connection. And until I'm allowed to buy/download stuff off the Internet. I just wanted to organise all our ideas for you. :) {{User:The Chort/sig}} 11:58, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> :At the very least, if it hasn't been done already, we should list the cast members who appear in this episode and update their respective filmographies accordingly. Also, if we decide to do a full walkthrough, I'd be willing to do some work on the 100% completion guide. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] 15:31, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> ::I agree with The Chort, a Walkthrough we should at seriously consider, and I am willing to help with a full transctipt. {{User:ThePizz/sig}} 15:56, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Easter Eggs ==<br /> <br /> There's got to be some easter eggs hidden somewhere in this game. Like a secret homsar or something. {{User:The thing/sig}} 14:47, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> :I've found a secret shirt that you can't put in your wardrobe by going in the photo booth, jumping off at the right 3 times till you land underneath the floor, and going as far back as you can below the entrance. (crappy description, I know.) But other than that, I don't know of any easter eggs. {{User:ThePizz/sig}} 18:22, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> ::Oh, there are plenty of Easter eggs. All of the clothing items, TGS extras, Snake Boxer manual pages, the trophies, and really, any number of things that you can do that don't advance the plot. However, I don't think Homsar appears in person in this one (you can prank call him... sorta... but that's it.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:30, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> :::I guess those are technically Easter eggs, but I think he meant besides anything needed to get 100%. {{User:ThePizz/sig}} 19:10, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Do mentions belong in other relavent articles? ==<br /> <br /> So, is it our intent to put all references and fun facts from the game on this page exclusively, or should we mention them in the relevant articles also? As an example, one of Homestar's random ramblings is an instance of the oft-mentioned letter [[G]]. Should it be noted on that page as well as here? {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 15:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> :Well, isn't that what we already do for normal toons? I don't see why that should be changed... -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] 19:37, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> ::Sounds rea''son''able. I just wasn't sure &mdash; since it's not a normal toon. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 20:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Responses ==<br /> <br /> If we do Responses pages, I recommend having a main [[Homestar Ruiner Responses|responses]] page and breaking the actual (non-generic) responses into the following:<br /> <br /> *[[Homestar Ruiner Responses (House of Strong)]]<br /> *[[Homestar Ruiner Responses (Marzipan's House)]]<br /> *[[Homestar Ruiner Responses (Track)]] (Or whatever it's called in-game; I forget)<br /> *[[Homestar Ruiner Responses (The King of Town's Castle)]]<br /> <br /> And either we can have [[Homestar Ruiner Responses (The Field)]] or six separate ones for the different places within The Field... not that the distinction between borders is necessarily obvious (and most places within The Field don't have much - take The Stick, for instance. Only a few objects there at all.)<br /> <br /> If we do this, it'll be a massive undertaking; even though the game is fairly short for a game, it's still longer than any H*R cartoon ever and has lots of hidden dialogue. <br /> <br /> Anyone else have anything to add? Since discussion in the past has been scattered, let's try to keep discussion on Responses in one place (here) until we decide whether or not we'll even do them in the first place. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:38, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> :That sounds good. It will be a daunting feat, especially since we have to do it 5 times, but I'm up for it. {{User:ThePizz/sig}} 20:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> ::We went ahead and did every Peasant's Quest response. How hard can Homestar Ruiner be? {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}<br /> ::: BTW, though I'm not expecting it to be an easy task, I am for a series of Responses pages assuming that there's no legal problem (my understanding is that there is not, but of course we must honor a Cease and Desist request should TBC issue one out.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:55, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == So, uh... ==<br /> <br /> Is the nly Homsar egg on the phone? [[User:Supermsn|Supermsn]] 21:25, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> : Far as I'm aware. IGN implies that Homsar will have a bigger role in [[Strong Badia the Free]], though. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:56, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Number of Blocks ==<br /> <br /> Forgive me if this is already posted elsewhere, but how many blocks does Homestar Ruiner use on the Wii (for both the actual game and any saves, etc)? {{User:Kilroy/sig}} 22:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> :The game itself uses, If I remember correctly, 319 blocks, but I don't know saves offhand.{{User:ThePizz/sig}} 22:48, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> ::Sweet, thanks. Looks like I'll have just enough space to download it (at least, this episode :) {{User:Kilroy/sig}} 22:50, 12 August 2008 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Freezing ==<br /> <br /> Is it me, or does the game freeze at the beginning of the end of the game? --[[User:Mini-Trogdor|Mini-Trogdor]] 00:25, 13 August 2008 (UTC)</div>

He is also in the upcoming [[Homestar Runner RPG]] for the Atari 2600, as the villain. He appears to be able to speak normally, though so far all he's been heard to say is "Somebody get this freakin' [[duck]] away from me!" In addition to his more lifelike form, Strong Bad also appears as a single red dot in [[Secret Collect]].

<p>Mini-Trogdor: /* Calling Homestar Runner! */</p> <hr /> <div>==Authentic TBC==<br /> Question: Why? I mean, are TBC doing work for macromedia now? Is this offical? -James<br /> <br /> :This is almost certainly official (or else someone can do absolutely perfect Strong Bad and Homestar impersinations). As for why, it may have been commissioned by Macromedia. Or the designers of the program asked TBC really nicely. Who knows? There's a thread on the message board about it [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?t=944 here] --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 11:07, 30 Sep 2004 (MST)<br /> <br /> It deffinetly is TBC's work. they put a [[Quote of the Week]] from it.--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|That crazy DumDe!]]<br /> <br /> Someone deleted the Remarks thing about it being considered legit, now that it's in QOTW. Of course we would question it. I mean, it was an EXTREMELY HARD-TO-FIND Easter egg in a program that has no other connection to H*R. It seems fine, but someone could ALWAYS be using acute sound samples.<br /> [[User: Marshmallow Roast|Marshmallow Roast]]<br /> <br /> :No, I deleted "The line 'Naw, it ain't heaven. There aren't enough Twinkies.' is now a Quote of the Week", which is dumb. Of course this is legit Homestar Runner material! TBC made the darn thing! {{User:FireBird/sig}} 01:20, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::The article mentions that "this is now considered official hr.com material". It comes a bit out of left field. Can you also explain why someone might think it's not official material?<br /> <br /> :::The Bros Chaps make stuff in Flash, and Macromedia used Homestar in their Flash 8 conference, so it has a purpose to be in Flash. Also, the password for it is sbemail, so more evidence leading to "Made by Brothers Chap". Annoy Miss, Decemberween 2005<br /> <br /> ::::Agreeing with anony here. If that wasn't TBC's work, whose was it? Considering it's the authentic animation style, authentic voices, authentic style, etc... :) Just because it doesn't appear on the actual H*R site doesn't mean it's not authentic H*R material. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 20:32, 29 December 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::::It also appears on the [[Everything Else, Volume 1]] DVD as an easter egg. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:39, 29 December 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Capitalization ==<br /> <br /> Can we agree on whether the "Are" is capitalized or not now, already? It's been moved twice here, from Are to are and from are to Are. We need consensus! --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 15:18, 2 Oct 2004 (MST)<br /> <br /> I believe it's standard in American English to decapitalize forms of the word "(to) be" in titles. Of course, if we don't want to get in debates over this kind of stuff, we could use full title case: "Where The Crap Are We?". Problem solved. - [[User:furrykef|[[User:furrykef|furrykef]] ([[User_talk:furrykef|Talk at me]])]] 01:05, 25 Nov 2004 (MST)<br /> <br /> You're right; "Are" should be capitalized. --[[User:67.161.224.65|67.161.224.65]]<br /> :This may be an old discussion, but I still think otherwise. When watching the toon, the page title is "Where the Crap are We?" Therefore, the "are" should not be capitallized.<br /> <br /> == Contested Fun Fact ==<br /> <br /> * Homestar mentions at the end of the toon that he thinks they're in Massachusetts. Also, in the Easter Egg, he appears to be talking to a "Senator Pencilface". Senator John Kerry is from Massachusetts, and he is sometimes mocked with the name "Pencil-face". Many contest this, saying that The Brothers Chaps wouldn't create a political cartoon, because it simply isn't their style. However, the inferences are just too obvious, and they are right there in the open. <br /> <br /> :I've decided to add 'Ivan's contested fun fact to the talk page here. I still think it's too shaky to be added, because while there's nothing saying it ISN'T a political reference, there's also nothing saying that it IS. And I've still never heard Kerry called "pencil face." --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 15:18, 17 Oct 2004 (MST)<br /> <br /> ::I agree, and I would have also removed it.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:59, 17 Oct 2004 (MST)<br /> <br /> I thought that TBC were implying that Massetachussetts Hell. I thought that this meant that, like most Southerners, TBC don't like yankees. For those of you who are slow on the uptake, by "yankees", I mean people from the North, not the baseball team. [[User:68.215.185.76|68.215.185.76]] 10:12, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)<br /> <br /> :Methinks that most Southerners are quite over and done with any hard feelings about events that transpired 139 years ago and counting. And if they aren't...well...get over it. And if they want slavery back...get over it. Or get out. I'm a historian specializing in the Civil War, and I'm well aware that two Atlanta boys don't give a whit about Yankee vs Dixie feelings. Those in nowheresville, Georgia might. My point is, Southern cities are very much like Northern ones today. TBC are two very intelligent men and wouldn't stoop to whoremongering about petty crap like this. Homestar could just as easily have said Virginia. --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]] 10:50, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)<br /> <br /> Shut up. There are other reasons that Southerners have for hating the North, which I choose not to state for risk of it being considered flaming. [[User:68.215.185.76|68.215.185.76]] 11:51, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)<br /> <br /> I wouldn't consider it flaming. What else do southerners got against us? I'm curious. -[[User:Miss Free Country USA|Miss Free Country USA]] 3:35 Nov 30 2004<br /> <br /> :As if telling someone to shut up isn't rude enough as-is. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 12:27, 21 Nov 2004 (MST)<br /> <br /> I agree w/ [[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]]. It ain't polite to tell someone to '''shut up'''. [[User:Sanjuro|Tim-E- Dee]] 18:20, 20 Mar 2005 (MST)<br /> <br /> :Hi there Sanjuro. Please note that this conversation occurred four months ago. It's done. Also, [[Wikipedia:Internet_troll#Usage|please do not feed the trolls]]. Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:48, 21 Mar 2005 (MST)<br /> <br /> I too have never heard Kerry called "Pencil Face." I've heard horse face, but not pencil, so the thought never ocurred to me. And the whole Massachusetts thing...it seems a bit to political for TBC to imply MA is hell, even if they are from the south. Any other political jokes would be a stretch...the main joke imo is that it's funny to hear Homestar pronounce "Massachusetts."<br /> <br /> :Hi there. Please note that this conversation occurred eight months ago.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:33, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Wait a minute- isn't there an actual town called "Hell" somehwre's? In like, Massechusetts or Michigan or somewhere's? Wait, it's in Minnesota! That means my theory is wrong! {{User:Salty/sig}} 21:47, 14 January 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Hi there Salty.

(Thanks<br />for all the letters!)<br /><br /> It's the final confrontation between Thy<br /><br /> Dungeonman and the elusive FLASK!!<br /><br /><br /> <big>'''I'''</big>nnovative FPG -first<br /><br /> person getter- action!<br /><br /> (actual gameplay-type<br /><br /> screenshots shown!)</blockquote><br /> *The photos for Thy Dungeonman, the Fat Friar, the Vegetable Cart Dude, the Disgruntled Cleaner Guy and the Old Hag are named internally as "mike", "matt", "matt" again, "me" and "ryan", respectively &ndash; presumably they are photos of [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[Jonathan Howe]] and [[Ryan Sterritt]].<br /> <br /> ===Remarks===<br /> *The "pwd" command has been modified, and it now gives your location as "Wastes of Time/Dumb Games/Dungeonman 3/''{location}''".<br /> *This is the first text adventure on the site where the command "DIE" doesn't kill you - or do anything at all.<br /> <br /> ===Glitches===<br /> *When you go to the monastery "Upon thy table is a stein. The exit is south" is typed twice. (This may, however, be intentional.)<br /> *While being cooked alive in the pot, type SOUTH on the turn you die and you will die and escape at the same time.<br /> <br /> === Fixed Glitches ===<br /> *Some hours after its release, the game began in the ''Hag's Clearing'' where you have no points yet possess the Fake Ketchup, already used.<br /> *There was a warp portal that took you directly inside the dungeon that was accessed by typing "GO IN LOG" or "ENTER LOG" at the creepy woods; however, if you have not yet gotten the flask-grabbing glove, you will be unable to win the game. VOIPing back out from this path would cause a gateway to the dungeon to appear at the crossroads, and then at the creepy woods.<br /> *When the game was first released, if the hag had 4 kids, then any answer you give her (including 4) would be taken as incorrect. The only way to fix this was to restart. This was fixed soon afterward.<br /> *Also upon release, it was possible to get stuck by grabbing the stein in the monastery, then escaping the cauldron and re-entering the monastery, then pressing C to continue. This was later fixed so that you now continue from outside the monastery.<br /> *Originally, if you typed LOOK FLOOR while holding the bone, the picture of the bone would appear. <br /> *Originally, if you typed LOOK BONE or LOOK FLOOR in Yon Dungeon after using the bone, it would say that the bone is still on the ground. New phrases were later added in place of this.<br /> <br /> ===Inside References===<br /> *The obsession with "getting a flask" has run throughout the Thy Dungeonman series. It originated with [[Strong Bad|Strong Bad's]] earliest concept of the game in [[video games]], in which "you'd just have to sit there and imagine why on Earth you can't get ye flask!"<br /> *When flipping through the hag's scrapbook, if you see the town sign for Rottenscab, it reads "If thou lived here, thou would be home by now". This joke was also made in [[for kids]].<br /> *When you look at the stone bridge, it will tell you that it is notorious for its knife fights. This is a reference to [[personal favorites]], where Coach Z and Pom Pom had a knife fight on a [[The Stone Bridge|Stone Bridge]].<br /> *The "OMG!" when you get the coins from inside the log is another example of [[Internet Slang]].<br /> *If you try to talk to the disgruntled cleaning guy inside the sandwich shoppe through the window, the text refers to him as Disgruntor the Cleaninator, an obvious reference to [[Trogdor|Trogdor the Burninator]].<br /> *When in the town, type "Listen to music" to get the response "Sounds like the [[Peasant's Quest]] theme".<br /> *Kigalonian's "doodoomap" is similar to [[Coach Z]]'s mention of "doodoomeat" from the email [[couch patch]].<br /> **This is also similar to Strong Bads "essence of doo-doo merangue"<br /> **It's also similar to "Doo Doo Crap", a word from [[space program]].<br /> *Teleporting out of the dungeon is accompanied by the sound effect "VOIP". This sound effect was previously used in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]], the Videlectrix game [[Hallrunner]], and the Strong Bad email [[alternate universe]].<br /> * The back of the box claiming "no more novels" refers to the previous two entries of the series. The first game's box claimed to contain a 400-page manual, while the second game's page title states that the game "Comes with 3 volume set of Thy Encyclopedias and Reference Guide!". This explains why, on the Videlectrix website, the box for Thy Dungeonman 3 is shown as being slimmer than the boxes for the first two games.<br /> *If you look at the stein in the pub after using it, it reads "Thou'll never forget thy old sidekick, Steiny." This refers to [[Strong Badman]]'s sidekick, Stiny.<br /> *The phrase "ugly bird" may be a reference to [[helium]], in which [[Homestar]] refers to a flying [[The Cheat]] as such.<br /> *The phrase "Lord Round Mound" is similar to Strong Bad's description of Strong Sad as a "round mound of gray fatness" in [[rampage]].<br /> *The phrase "shimmy all up on the dead dongrel" is another example of [[All up ons]].<br /> <br /> ===Real-World References===<br /> <br /> *When you attempt to "take spoon" or "take knife" from the Fat, Fat Friar while you are in the cauldron, the game informs you, "Twould be like removing the sword from the stone. 'Whoso pulleth out the utensils of this meaty palm is rightwise King born of England and privy to my secret recipe for cupcakes.'" This is a reference to the legend of King Arthur of Camelot.<br /> *The phrase "It's all about the ... who the heck is that on these coins?" is a reference to the Puff Daddy song "It's All About The Benjamins", meaning the portraits of [[Wikipedia:Benjamin Franklin|Benjamin Franklin]] on U.S. hundred-dollar bills.<br /> *The response "I don't understand you..." is an excerpt from the song [http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/index.php/Fingertips Fingertips] by [[They Might Be Giants]].<br /> *The screen shown when you get the flask for the first time is a reference to the opening sequence of [[Wikipedia:Myst|Myst]] (the image in question also being featured on Myst's original box art).<br /> *The "internal or external command" error message is the message you get in the [[Wikipedia:Windows XP|Windows XP]] [[Wikipedia:Command line interface|command prompt]] if it doesn't recognize what you type.<br /> *While musing on thoughts of her dead husband, the hag is said to be [[Wikipedia:FernGully|'ferngullying']] and [[Wikipedia:The Land Before Time|'landbeforetiming']], both references to popular early 90's animation franchises.<br /> * One of the possible presents that the hag might have gotten is a [[Wikipedia:Nintendo_64|Nintendo 64]] Controller (called an N64 Paddle in this game). The controller is popular for being the first in console gaming since 1982 to use the [[Wikipedia:Analog_stick|Analog stick]]. It is also popular for its rather unusual but sucessful three-handled design.<br /> *Just before you begin answering the hag's questions, she says "If ye answers questions three..." This is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Monty Python and the Holy Grail|Monty Python and the Holy Grail]], in which the old man at the Bridge of Death proclaims "Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three."<br /> *If you answer the hag incorrectly, the game refers to her as "Hagatha Christie", a reference to crime author [[Wikipedia:Agatha Christie|Agatha Christie]].<br /> *The error displayed when you type "Go West" when there is no west exit is a reference to the lyrics of two songs: "King of Wishful Thinking" by the band Go West, and "Go West" by the Pet Shop Boys.<br /> *When you've beaten the game, the line "The sanctum begins to rattle and hum" is a reference to the U2 album "Rattle and Hum."<br /> *If you try to pick up the log in the woods west of the crossroads, it says "Painful memories of finishing last in the World's Strongest Dungeonman contest are dredged up." This is a reference to the real life "World's Strongest Man" competition, a tournament which involves completing difficult strength-based challenges.<br /> **In addition the text mentions "Magnus and Junko". Magnus is a reference to either [[Wikipedia:Magn&uacute;s Ver Magn&uacute;sson|Magn&uacute;s Ver Magn&uacute;sson]] or [[Wikipedia:Magnus Samuelsson|Magnus Samuelsson]], who were both World's Strongest Man Champions. Junko is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Jouko Ahola|Jouko Ahola]], who was another World's Strongest Man Champion.<br /> *"Lonely Dungeon: Westerburg" is a reference to the [http://www.lonelyplanet.com Lonely Planet] series of travel guides.<br /> *If you don't escape from the cauldron in time, it says "Next time, Try Hard 2: Try Harder." This is taken from the film title ''[[Wikipedia:Die Hard 2: Die Harder|Die Hard 2: Die Harder]]''.<br /> *The "Franken Brand stein" is a reference to the famed novel ''[[Wikipedia:Frankenstein|Frankenstein]]''.<br /> *"The Unbearable Lightness of Being" is a novel written by Czech novelist Milan Kundera.<br /> *"Westerberg" is a reference to Paul Westerberg, rock songwriter and singer from 80s punk band “The Replacements.”<br /> *The first picture in the hag's scrapbook sometimes reads Zork, and claims it is a "Krill-free community". [[Wikipedia:Zork|Zork]] is a long-running series of (mostly) text adventure games by [[Wikipedia:Infocom|Infocom]]. Krill was the name of the villain in the first [[Wikipedia:Zork books#The Forces of Krill|Zork book]].<br /> *When asking to look at the barrel in front of the "sammich" shop, it replies "A very small barrel. Maybe made by a small man. A mini cooper if thou will." A [[Wikipedia:Cooper (profession)|cooper]] is a barrelmaker. A [[Wikipedia:Mini Cooper|Mini Cooper]] is a small British car.<br /> *The ending screen is very reminiscent of that of the Nintendo game [[Wikipedia:Faxanadu|Faxanadu]].<br /> *The "cart man" looks surprisingly like many a character played by 90s "weasel" Paulie Shore.<br /> *When inside the large cauldron, the description of the "progressively warmer and warmer broth" is spelled using the [[Wikipedia:Long s|Long s]], common in medieval calligraphy.<br /> *After buying corn from the veggie cart dude (VCD), he may say to "Visualize whirled peas." This is a play on words of a common phrase, "Visualize world peace," often found on bumper stickers.<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> <br /> *[[Thy Dungeonman 3 Walkthrough]]<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> <br /> *[[HR:dman3.html|Play Thy Dungeonman 3]]<br /> *[[HR:thyDungeonman3.swf|Play Thy Dungeonman 3 (Flash file)]]<br /> *[[Forum:8038|Forum thread re: "Thy Dungeonman 3"]]<br /> {{thydungeonman}}<br /> {{VidelectrixGames}}<br /> [[Category:Thy Dungeonman|3]]</div>

I was going to be bold and lowercase it, but then I thought twice and figured I should ask. My inclination would be to uncapitalize it, but what do you think? &mdash; {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 02:54, 20 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> : I was bold. ;) None of the other headings are title case; we should either change them all to title case or leave them all sentence case. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:58, 20 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> ::It's still hyphenated in the donation box. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:17, 20 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :::Fixed.&nbsp;-- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:29, 20 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> ::::That one too, but I was referring to the main page bottom box, "If you've found this knowledge-base useful, please consider making a donation.

Removing that hyphen from the donations box and replacing it with a space makes the two-pixel difference on my display, pushing it from a one line donation mention to a two line. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:34, 20 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == IRF the oracle ==<br /> <br /> I just noticed that assuming TBC will keep with tradtion (not 100% since they didn't do a D'ween toon this year), the 150th email is scheduled at the same time as April fools. Perhaps those two themes will be tied together in sight unparalleled since tape leg.

I have absolutely no idea what [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] changed because I can't ''see'' it. The metadata is in the way. 1024x768 resolution tabs bar open in SeaMonkey and Modern Pinball skin applied. Any way we could fix this, or alternatively not display the metadata? I'm all for having to scroll left and right if it comes to that. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 05:38, 21 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :This appears to be fixed in the next version of MediaWiki, or at the very least, with Wikipedia's current styling of the metadata.

Perhaps we have no choice but to have it appear. I just question the need of displaying the specific model of digital camera that was used to take a photograph or superfluous details such as "exposure bias" or "maximum land aperture". Pardon me if I seem a bit overzealous. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 08:17, 24 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> :::::The date is usually interesting, at least. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:34, 25 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> ::::::True, Thunderbird.

What's Her Face also plays bass left-handed. Gregor is left-handed in "Everyone is Different". Notable? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:07, 25 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Hmmm... Homestar doesn't exactly even [[Lack of Visible Arms|have arms]] on the conventional sense. But yeah, interesting. As a side note, most Muppets are left handed. The puppeteer uses his right hand to operate the head while operating the arm rod with his left hand. But that doesn't really relate to anything here, just a comment about the prominence of left handed characters in general. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 20:31, 25 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::I think that Homestar and What's Her Face playing left-handed is just a minor mistake overlooked by TBC. And by the way, a better place for this kind of discussion is [[Category talk:Running Gags]] or [[Category talk:Inside Jokes]]. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 22:13, 27 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Recent Changes RSS ==<br /> <br /> Okay. I just got an RSS reader, and, where is the feed located at? I tried the url of the rss link at the left od RC, but it isn't working. Help, at all? {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 02:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Which RSS reader are you using, Bluebry? We use two different protocols for our feeds here, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=rss RSS] and [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&feed=atom Atom]. Most readers support both protocols these days, but if you've only tried one protocol and it isn't working, you may have better luck with the other protocol. I may be able to help further once I know which reader you're using. &mdash; {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:34, 28 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> ::What is the point of viewing recent changes in RSS? {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 17:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> :::That's a good question. I personally have never found it useful. It's probably used less for human consumption and more for other things like feeding recent changes to a maintenance bot, for instance, or having them show up in real time in a chat room. RSS is just a nice way of packaging the recent changes for use elsewhere. &mdash; {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 19:30, 28 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::::My reader is an expansion to Firefox, called Sidekik. I've tryed both RSS and Atom on it. Ima try a new RSS reader. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 01:07, 29 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Watchlist ==<br /> <br /> This is kinda wierd, but I'm sure somebody has an explanation;<br/><br /> <br/><br /> I just went in to edit the items on my watchlist, and I found 2 pages listed that not only don't exist, but I did not put on my watchlist:<br /> <br /> * Briefs on briefs on briefs on briefs on briefs on briefs, Wayne Rooney thinks you're all freaking sick oddballs who ********** over George W. Bush in his underwear, plus $20,000 <br /> * Willy on Wheels on Wheels, on wheels <br /> <br /> The second one thinks that this is just a type of vandalism. Is there any way to protect against it? -[[User:AtionSong|<font face="BankGothic Md BT">AtionSong</font>]] 03:25, 29 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :What must have heppened: some vandal moved a page you were watching to that name. Then it was deleted and recreated for any of a number of reasons. There's no one hacking into your Watchlist, rest assured - the hacking was done to the page you had set to watch. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:36, 29 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::Right. If you're watching "Page A" and it gets moved to "Page B", then now you're automatically watching both the old name "Page A" and the new name "Page B". If a vandal moves "Page A" to "Page A ON WHEELS", you end up watching both of those pages too. Even after the visible damage is reverted and the extra page is deleted, "Page A ON WHEELS" will still show up in your full watchlist as a red link. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:41, 29 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ::: Thanks. It turns off both were moves of this page itself. In the future, I'll just delete these links. -[[User:AtionSong|<font face="BankGothic Md BT">AtionSong</font>]] 03:46, 29 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Why can't I edit the main page? ==<br /> <br /> Well anyway, the "Bear Holding a Shark T-Shirt" link needs to be change on account of the reorganized store section. Could someone please change the link to "http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Store_T-Shirts#tshirt_bear-shark" Thanks! [[User:Jecowa|Jecowa]] 06:35, 29 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> :Done. BTW, when you need to change something in the "What's new" section of the Main Page, you actually need to edit [[Template:whatsnew]]. That's where the text in that part of the page is. You can't edit the Main Page because it's protected so that only sysops can edit it. We do this to prevent vandalism on the Main Page, our most visible page. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:39, 29 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> ::Thanks for the help and info. [[User:Jecowa|Jecowa]] 07:00, 29 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> :::We've added this info to the standard [[:Template:welcome|welcome]] message.

Today I went on, and two of the songs weren't working. I checked, and the [[Secret_Pages#Music|swf files of the music]] had been deleted. Do you think that this could mean anything? -[[User:AtionSong|<font face="BankGothic Md BT">AtionSong</font>]] 15:49, 31 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> :[[Dancin' Bubs]] is working fine for me. Server may have just been having issues. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 16:04, 31 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> ::Yeah, [[Secret Pages]] tend to get low bandwidth and frequently appear to be deleted when they're not. For some reason, some of the songs in Dancin' Bubs are included in that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:07, 31 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> :::Those two songs seem to be 404 on occasion... without knowing technical details of TBC's hosting setup, it's difficult to know why. Though if I had to guess, I'd say that they might have two servers that they serve the files from, and the songs are missing on one... this could also explain why the <code>.exe</code> versions of [[take-a-break.exe]] and the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|screensavers]] don't always work, one of the servers could be configured differently to the other for <code>.exe</code> files. This is complete speculation, however, we know nothing about H*R.com's internal structure. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:16, 31 March 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == WikkiTikkiTavi ==<br /> <br /> So... are we reverting to WikkiTikkiTavi permanently or temporarily?

I saw them working on it a few days ago, and asked It's Dot Com about it, suspecting vandalism. He explained it all to me, and I support the decision fully. It's not as pretty, but if it works, and it's less of a drain on the server... -[[User:YK|YK]] 06:10, 1 April 2006 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Sorry to everyone for the lack of notice, but MediaWiki was getting so unweildy we decided to just go through with the regrade before really preparing the community. The admins and sysops have been discussing this for a few months in Da Basement (it's all been archived by now, but you'll find it there if you look). We decided to do this now for three reasons: (1) MediaWiki has way too many SQL tables. That was creating a lot of unnecessary overhead and it was really starting to tax the server. 'Tavi has a smaller database, so it should work better. (2) MediaWiki is really designed for multi-server load balancing systems like Wikipedia. After using it for over a year now we've become painfully aware just how kludgy MediaWiki is when it's running on a single server like ours. 'Tavi should be able to handle our single-server system much better. (3) Surprisingly, MediaWiki had no optimization of it's X32 page caching, which was really starting to eat up a lot of space on our server. 'Tavi recently rolled out better X45 page caching that looks to revolutionize the wiki market. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of other wikis switch to 'Tavi now that 'Tavi has stepped it up a notch.

The admins and sysops have been discussing this for a few months in Da Basement (it's all been archived by now, but you'll find it there if you look). We decided to do this now for three reasons: (1) MediaWiki has way too many SQL tables. That was creating a lot of unnecessary overhead and it was really starting to tax the server. 'Tavi has a smaller database, so it should work better. (2) MediaWiki is really designed for multi-server load balancing systems like Wikipedia. After using it for over a year now we've become painfully aware just how kludgy MediaWiki is when it's running on a single server like ours. 'Tavi should be able to handle our single-server system much better. (3) Surprisingly, MediaWiki had no optimization of it's X32 page caching, which was really starting to eat up a lot of space on our server. 'Tavi recently rolled out better X45 page caching that looks to revolutionize the wiki market. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of other wikis switch to 'Tavi now that 'Tavi has stepped it up a notch. Again, sorry for the short notice, but we felt we had to do it now before MediaWiki crashed the server and caused unrecoverable data loss. If you have any more specific questions about the regrade, feel free to ask them here or on the [[HRWiki talk:FAQ|FAQ talk page]].

The admins and sysops have been discussing this for a few months in Da Basement (it's all been archived by now, but you'll find it there if you look). We decided to do this now for three reasons: (1) MediaWiki has way too many SQL tables. That was creating a lot of unnecessary overhead and it was really starting to tax the server. 'Tavi has a smaller database, so it should work better. (2) MediaWiki is really designed for multi-server load balancing systems like Wikipedia. After using it for over a year now we've become painfully aware just how kludgy MediaWiki is when it's running on a single server like ours. 'Tavi should be able to handle our single-server system much better. (3) Surprisingly, MediaWiki had no optimization of it's X32 page caching, which was really starting to eat up a lot of space on our server. 'Tavi recently rolled out better X45 page caching that looks to revolutionize the wiki market. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of other wikis switch to 'Tavi now that 'Tavi has stepped it up a notch. Again, sorry for the short notice, but we felt we had to do it now before MediaWiki crashed the server and caused unrecoverable data loss. If you have any more specific questions about the regrade, feel free to ask them here or on the [[HRWiki talk:FAQ|FAQ talk page]].

This probably explains the fact that the two regenerated "halves" look and sound the way they do (i.e.: gross).<br /> *The Poopsmith's shield, bat, gasmask and, to a lesser extent, the "We're Onto You" propaganda, may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Combine_(Half-Life_2)|Combine]] in [[Wikipedia:Half Life 2|Half Life 2]].<br /> *Strong Bad's "career advisor" sign is similar to the "Psychiatric help" sign used by [[Wikipedia:Lucy van Pelt|Lucy van Pelt]] from the [[Peanuts]] comics. More specifically, it reads "The doctor is real in", with "real in" being the moveable part of the sign in ''[[Wikipedia:A Charlie Brown Christmas|A Charlie Brown Christmas]]''.<br /> *Repulsorlift is the technology used to create lift for airplanes and spacecraft in the ''[[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'' universe, most notably in the case of the various speeders, but also for craft such as the [[Wikipedia:X-wing|X-wing]] to make up for their lack of airfoils (despite having wings). It is supposedly based upon the artificial creation of "pockets" of gravity, which push against the gravity of bodies such as planets and moons or against solid objects such as walls or buildings.<br /> *Told Salliaveri may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Tom Savini|Tom Savini]], the special-effects wizard most noted for his work on [[Wikipedia:George A. Romero|George A.

This phrase was used earlier in the email [[flashback]].<br /> *"Lemme hear that dinner roll" is a reference to the lyrics of the 1994 song [[Wikipedia:Tootsie Roll (song)|"Tootsie Roll"]] by the band 69 Boyz.<br /> *The exhaust pipes coming out of Head Bad could be referred to as a "[[Wikipedia:Manifold (automotive engineering)|header]]" in automotive engineering parlance.<br /> *The "We're Onto You" poster could be a reference to the similar propaganda "Big Brother Is Watching You" from the book ''[[Wikipedia:Nineteen Eighty-Four|Nineteen Eighty-Four]]''.<br /> *"Creature Shop" might as well be a refrence to [[Wikipedia:Jim Henson's Creature Shop|Jim Henson's Creature Shop]], which makes many animatronic and puppet characters. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> <br /> {{sbemailextlinks|148|7364}}<br /> {{Strong Bad Email}}</div>

(In the DVD commentary for [[time capsule]], however, Marzipan offhandedly remarked that Hal was his middle name.) <br /> * All of the [[Spooky_Tree|Spooky Trees]] in the background are the same shape, just in different sizes and orientations. Also, the first two backgrounds for Pom Pom, Coach Z, the Poopsmith, and the King of Town are identical.<br /> * If Homestar does a dance for Bubs, Bubs will refer to Homestar as "Shorty", even though (unless you count Bubs' hat) Homestar is taller than Bubs is.<br /> * Besides stealing Homestar's [[Witches' Brew]] "line," as Homestar points out, Bubs also appropriates the "terlet" pronunciation of "toilet" that Coach Z has used in [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[A Folky Tale]]. This spelling shows up on the scorecard as well, but Homestar still pronounces it as "toilet" when he hands it over to Marzipan. Homestar's speech impediment causes a mispronunciation of the mispronunciation, making it correct again.<br /> * The Flash file appears to have been updated 12 hours after the toon was originally released. The update expanded the Tofu Homestar scene, and added an extra "THE END" scene and an Easter Egg (The Cheat).<br /> * Homestar's costume includes a pair of shoes. When Marzipan gives him his costume, however, the shoes do not appear to be included.<br /> * Strong Bad comments on Homestar's Reagan impression even if you use one of the other choices.<br /> <br /> ===Goofs===<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Gossamer_(Looney_Tunes)|Gossamer]] is actually straight red, not the bright orange color of Strong Mad's costume.<br /> *When Strong Bad's cabinet doors are open, they appear to be symmetrical; they shouldn't be able to fit together when closed.<br /> *Homestar's [[Wikipedia:Chuck Taylor All-Stars|Converse All-Star Hi-Tops]] have stars on both sides of each shoe, when they should have stars [http://www.martyshoes.com/store/media/con-s049622-9160men500.jpg only on the inner side].<br /> <br /> ===Glitches===<br /> *You can see a "hiccup" in the animation of the pot's bubbling when the cartoon switches to one of the variables in the combination you made.<br /> *Unlike the other characters, Homsar shows scroll-over information during the finale Easter eggs even while the rest of the characters comment on their costumes. This is because he is a sprite that overlays the scene.<br /> *When you click on The Cheat at the end, Strong Bad's head changes size and his mouth closes a bit, and everybody moves slightly. <br /> *When clicking on most of the characters that activate Easter Eggs at the end, Marzipan's mouth changes expression unexpectedly.<br /> *When Marzipan's angry expression is used, blinking causes her outline to be intruded.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Inside References===<br /> * The gun Pom Pom draws at the end is from [[In Search of the Yello Dello]].<br /> * The tofu sculpture that Homestar turns into in one of the endings is from [[The Luau]].<br /> * "What wouldst thou deau?" is a reference to [[video games]] and [[Thy Dungeonman]].<br /> * Strong Bad mentions that Coach Z didn't dress as a rapper this year (although the coach claims that Theo Huxtable is indeed a rapper) as he had in all of the previous [[Coach Z#Halloween Costumes|Halloween Toons]]. <br /> * French Homestar singing "Getting lucky tonight" is a reference to [[Cool Things]]; Strong Sad sings the same phrase.<br /> * The circus peanuts that appear in the Homsar Easter egg were also used when Homestar comes to the door in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].<br /> * The broken TV sets looked exactly the same as the one in [[mascot]] after The Cheat smashed it.<br /> * Pom Pom is wearing the same [[Homestar's Shades|shades]] that [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] usually sports.<br /> * Strong Sad's line, "Each day we die a little more," and Marzipan's line, "I'm not the only girl," are references to their respective lines from the [[Spin 'n' Say]].<br /> * The King's bucket of chicken is from [[monster truck]].<br /> * Homestar's costume acne looks like the "bad zits" that he got when Strong Bad poked him with a pin in [[pom pom]].<br /> * The [[Orange Tupperware#Orange Spoon|orange Tupperware spoon]] appears in Bubs' collection of stirring utensils.<br /> * The eye implanted in Homestar's forehead resembles the fake eye he wore in [[Malloween Commercial]].<br /> <br /> ===Real-World References===<br /> *[[wikipedia:Ronald Reagan|Ronald Reagan]] was a movie actor and the 40th president of the United States. "Nancy" refers to his widow, [[wikipedia:Nancy Reagan|Nancy Reagan]]. [[Wikipedia:Jelly beans|Jelly beans]] were famously one of Reagan's favorite foods. Reagan was also known for usually starting his statements with the word "well." He was famous for his economic policies, called "[[Wikipedia:Reaganomics|Reaganomics]]." He also did have [[Wikipedia:List_of_presidential_pets|pets]], among them a [[Wikipedia:Cavalier_king_charles_spaniel|Cavalier King Charles Spaniel]] named [[Wikipedia:Cavalier_king_charles_spaniel#Famous_Cavalier_King_Charles_Spaniels|Rex]].<br /> *The phrase "I'm selling these fine leather jackets" is a reference to multiple PC games created by [[Wikipedia:LucasArts|LucasArts]] which featured the line as a running gag. They included ''[[Wikipedia:Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis|Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis]]'', the ''[[Wikipedia:Monkey Island|Monkey Island]]'' series, ''[[Wikipedia:Sam and Max|Sam and Max]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Full Throttle|Full Throttle]]''.<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Hoisin Sauce|Hoisin sauce]], a fermented soy bean paste, is used as a condiment and also as a glaze for roasted meats, most commonly with [[Wikipedia:Peking Duck|Peking Duck]]. It is often referred to as "Chinese barbecue sauce."<br /> *"Taco-Man" is the signature character of the website [http://www.ebolaworld.com Ebolaworld], which has used Homestar in cameos on more than one occasion. Perhaps the Brothers Chaps have decided to repay the favor. (As a side note, the Halloween special that Ebolaworld had planned for the same year was also a choose-your-own adventure cartoon.)<br /> *"THAT'S A LOT! A LOT! A LOT! A LOT!" is a reference to the bank teller in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, who said it if you deposited more than fifty rupees all at once. This was the first game that Tingle appeared in, so it's quite appropriate.<br /> *Homsar throwing the confetti is a reference to his costume ([[Wikipedia:Tingle|Tingle]]), who also throws confetti when he says the magic words ("Tingle, Tingle, Kooloo-limpah!").<br /> *Strong Bad saying "Meka Leka Hi, Meka ... Ho" is from a character called Jambi The Genie (who he is dressed as) from the CBS Saturday morning show ''[[Wikipedia:Pee-wee's Playhouse|Pee-Wee's Playhouse]]''. Actually, the whole quote is supposed to be "Meka Leka Hi, Meka Hiney Ho!"<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Lando Calrissian|Lando Calrissian]] is a character from the ''[[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'' films, played by [[Wikipedia:Billy Dee Williams|Billy Dee Williams]]. Some people (including, apparently, Homestar) mistakenly think that Lando and Apollo Creed were played by the same actor, but Apollo Creed was played by Carl Weathers.<br /> *Homsar's line ("location, location, location") refers to the three most important things in [[Wikipedia:real estate|real estate]]. His costume character, Tingle, serves to help Link navigate by selling him maps in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series.<br /> *The Cutters (on Homestar's T-shirt) is the name of the town group that was featured in the 1979 movie ''[[Wikipedia:Breaking Away|Breaking Away]]'', a movie about a group of bicyclists at [[Wikipedia:Indiana University Bloomington|Indiana University]] that race in the annual "[[Wikipedia:Little 500|Little 500]]" every spring. Homestar's character, Moocher, was a member of the group.<br /> *Walter Sobchak is a character from ''[[Wikipedia:The Big Lebowski|The Big Lebowski]]'', played by [[Wikipedia:John Goodman|John Goodman]]. The severed toe with nail polish is a plot device in this movie; Sobchack even says the line, "I can get you a toe, with nail polish," as does Coach Z on Pom Pom's behalf. "You're entering a world of pain" and "DONNY, YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT!" (said on behalf of Pom Pom by Homestar and Strong Mad respectively) were also repeated sayings of Sobchak's in the movie. Donny (in Strong Mad's quote) refers to Theodore Donald 'Donny' Kerabatsos, played by [[Wikipedia:Steve Buscemi|Steve Buscemi]].<br /> *Bubs' quote "Baby, you've got a [[Witches' Brew|witches' brew]] goin'" is a reference to the television show ''[[Wikipedia:Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', where [[Wikipedia:Carl Weathers|Carl Weathers]], the actor who played [[Wikipedia:Apollo Creed|Apollo Creed]], portrays himself as extremely cheap, and sometimes comments that if certain leftover foods are combined, "Baby, you've got a stew goin'."<br /> *[[wikipedia:Oliver Cromwell|Oliver Cromwell]] was a 17th century English military commander who became Lord Protector after leading the rebellion that resulted in the execution of Charles I. Homestar probably ''meant'' to say [[Wikipedia:Oliver North|Oliver North]], a prominent figure in the [[Wikipedia:Iran Contra Affair|Iran Contra Affair]].<br /> *Rose petal essence was an ingredient for the spell to turn into an eagle or fly in ''[[Wikipedia:King's Quest III|King's Quest III]]''.

<p>Mini-Trogdor: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:kot.PNG|thumb|right|221px|More butter, please!]]<br /> <br /> == Biography ==<br /> The King of Town is the de jure ruler of [[Free Country, USA]]. However, nobody wishes to acknowledge this; it's therefore possible that this character is a satire on the obsolescence of monarchy. He is not considered cool by anyone. One of his main problems is that he is a glutton and will eat anything in front of him (except peas and [[Whatsit]]). His favorite food is butter. He employs [[The Poopsmith]] and a [[:Category:King's Servants|few other characters]]. Since everybody hates the King, it's likely that his rule will never be fully recognized; but no doubt eventually overthrown.<br /> *'''Domicile''': [[King of Town's Castle]]<br /> *'''Debut''': First Seen:[[Marshmallow's Last Stand_(toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]] First Mentioned: [[The King of Town DVD]]<br /> *[[:Category:The King of Town Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Go Go Cookie Dough!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[King of Town's Castle]]}''<br /> <br /> ''{'''THE KING OF TOWN''' is standing outside next to his castle. One of his sheep stands behind him.}''<br /> <br /> '''THE KING OF TOWN''': Hello, my loyal subjects. I am The King of Town. Please remain standing while I finish my speech and consume the contents of this bowl. ''{holds up a bowl momentarily}'' Now, despite rumors to the contrary, I did not just buy a crown at the costume palace and ask people to start calling me The King of Town. I earned my title the same way I earned a free combo meal by purchasing one of equal or lesser value. I also did not ever try to eat my own mustache. I live in yon castle ''{gives a nod to his castle}'', and employ a Poopsmith for reasons I don't care to disclose. And furthermore, now I'm going to eat this bowl of corn dog batter. ''{picks up a bowl of corn dog batter and begins to eat it}''.<br /> <br /> == Fun Facts ==<br /> * An [[Old Characters Page]] claimed he was [[Marzipan]]'s father, but [[The Brothers Chaps]] have said they dropped this idea early on. "That was just something that we just toyed around with there briefly, but then decided that’s not the way we wanted it to go. We just put that up, but most people don’t visit the [[Museum]], so hopefully it doesn’t cause too much mass confusion." — [[Matt Chapman]]<br /> * At the end of the clip, the sheep continues chewing, even though [[The VCR|the VCR]] is paused. This is because the sheep was created as a movie clip, which animates independently of the main timeline.<br /> *The King claims he got his title (and a value meal) by purchasing one of equal or ''lesser'' value. This is contrary to most value purchases which give you something free when you purchase a similar item of equal or ''greater'' value.<br /> *According to [[A Decemberween Pageant]], a [[The King of Town (Decemberween)|King of Town]] was involved in the discovery of the first [[Decemberween]].

<p>Mini-Trogdor: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:poopsmith.PNG|thumb|right|220px|A crappy job (literally)]]<br /> == Biography ==<br /> The Poopsmith is just a regular guy with a ''very crappy'' job. Literally. It is unclear what his job really is, but it has something to do with using his shovel (apparently the only shovel in [[Free Country, USA]]) to poke around at a load of [[Whatsit|whatsit]]. Also, due to the nature of this job, Strong Bad has said that the Poopsmith's tolerance for pain "has gotta be through the roof". Although he never seems to transfer poop between his gloves and the shovel, his gloves are always soiled. This inherent filth tends to keep him out of most social circles, though he seems to be well respected by the other characters. He has been in the employ of [[The King of Town]] for a while, and he does not talk, nor make a noise, as he has taken a vow of silence. Sometimes, he will hold up a sign in lieu of speaking. He is sometimes seen poking his shovel as a half-gesture; in his Old-Timey incarnation as The Demon, the pitchfork motion is very similar.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile:''' [[King of Town's Castle]]<br /> *'''Debut:''' First Seen:[[Marshmallow's Last Stand_(toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]] First Mentioned: [[The King of Town DVD]]<br /> *[[:Category:The Poopsmith Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Crapatola!!}''<br /> <br /> ''{Cut to the Poopsmith shoveling through his pile of whatsit}'' <br /> <br /> '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen, narrating in animal show host type voice}'' Here we have a rare glimpse of the Poopsmith in his natural habitat.

<p>Mini-Trogdor: /* Biography */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:strongsad.png|thumb|A round mound of gray fatness.]]<br /> == Biography ==<br /> Strong Sad is the depressing character. The youngest of the Brothers Strong, he is represented as both intellectual and creative, but his genius is usually overwhelmed by his depression. Strong Sad has been seen energetic only when under the influence of [[caffeine]] or [[The Deathly Pallor|shock radio]]. When [[Strong Bad]] and Strong Sad were younger, they seemed to [[The Secrets That I Keep|get along]], but nowadays Strong Sad suffers almost constant [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|abuse]] from Strong Bad. In fact, he is often the subject of Strong Bad, [[The Cheat]], and [[Strong Mad]]'s practical jokes, and Strong Bad has quite a list of [[Nicknames#Strong Sad|nicknames]] he's used to insult Strong Sad. In turn, Strong Sad has a very low opinion of his older brother and considers him to be a clueless weirdo, which is usually true. Unfortunately (for Strong Sad), his opinions usually fall upon deaf ears. Despite all this, it is sometimes implied that Strong Sad still holds some degree of brotherly love towards Strong Bad. The rest of the cast tolerate him, but also discourage him. He has an [[Strong Sad's iPod|iPod]] and loves to play board games. His interests include listening, books, listening to books, calligraphy, poetry, safety, being alone, arts, crafts, and arts b/w crafts. He is also a poet. He seems to enjoy going to Cons, as seen in [[different town]] and [[TrogdorCon '97]]. He keeps a blog, updated sometimes, that is referred to as [[Strong Sad's Lament]]. There is a [[Strong Sad Lookalike Contest]] held annually. He has perfect handwriting and elephant-like feet, preferably called "[[Soolnds|soolnds]]", which poachers have offered a large sum of money to obtain. Apparently, his only friends are [[Marzipan]], whom he seems to have a crush on; [[Homsar]]; and to some extent [[The Cheat]], whom he plays Jenga with on Tuesdays.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile''': [[House of the Brothers Strong]]<br /> *'''Debut''': First Seen: "[[Super NES]]" First Mentioned: "[[In Search of the Yello Dello]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Strong Sad Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Poetry Slam!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[Strong Sad's Room]]}''<br /> <br /> ''{Open with a black screen.

My name's Strong Sad and... I have two brothers that like to pummel me every hour, on the hour. I mostly sit in my room, and... listen to music, and write, and talk to walls or trees... and wait to be pummeled... I guess I like board games more than most people. And by that I mean I like to play board games more than most people do. But by that I also mean I like board games more than I like most people. Like this one time, me and Hi-Ho Cherry-O! were playing The Game of Life, and I got a phone call from... Coach Z or somebody. And, I didn't answer it because I was having such a good time with playing this board game, against this other board game...<br /> <br /> '''MARZIPAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Okay, I think that's enough, Strong Sad.<br /> <br /> '''STRONG SAD:''' And it got me thinking, you know? Two lovers... collide...<br /> <br /> '''MARZIPAN:''' ''{offscreen and clearly disturbed}'' Okay, okay, I'm turning it off now. ''{The camera stops.}''<br /> <br /> == Fun Facts ==<br /> * [[Matt Chapman]] has said that Strong Sad is the most difficult character to voice due to how delicate he sounds. If Matt strains his voice too much before recording, he actually can't do Strong Sad at all (which led to Mike substituting for Strong Sad's one word in [[cheat talk]]).<br /> * During the "filming" of Strong Sad's character page, he runs his finger up and down the border of the left camera frame when he says "talk to walls or trees", even though his wall is much further left, as can be seen in the background poster.<br /> <br /> == Also known as... ==<br /> *[[Sickly Sam]] ([[Old-Timey]])<br /> *[[Hot Tub]] ([[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]])<br /> *[[The First Decemberween]] ([[A Decemberween Pageant|Decemberween]])<br /> *[[Saddy Dumpington]]<br /> *[[The Deathly Pallor]]<br /> *[[Little Strong Sad]]<br /> *[[Anonymous]]<br /> <br /> === [[Halloween Costumes]] ===<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Mikhail Gorbachev|Gorbachev]] in [[Homestarloween Party]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:Andy Warhol|Andy Warhol]] in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].<br /> *Vyvyan (from [[Wikipedia:The Young_Ones (TV_series)|The Young Ones]]) in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:David_Byrne_%28musician%29|David Byrne]] in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].<br /> *[[Wikipedia:David_Bowie|David Bowie]] in [[Halloween Fairstival]].<br /> <br /> ==See Also==<br /> <br /> *[[Strong Sad Evolution]]<br /> *[[Strong Sad Other Costumes|Other Costumes]]<br /> *[[Nicknames#Strong Sad|Nicknames]]<br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> *[[HR:vcr_ss.html|watch Strong Sad's character video]]<br /> *[[HR:vcr_ss.swf|view the Flash file for Strong Sad's character video]]<br /> *[mailto:depressio@homestarrunner.com Email Strong Sad]<br /> *[[HR:sadjournal/index.html|See Strong Sad's Blog]]<br /> *[[HR:sadjournal/wonderyears.swf|Fond Reminiscences]]<br /> {{Characters|Strong Sad}}<br /> [[Category:Homestarmy]]</div>

<p>Mini-Trogdor: /* Biography */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:strongsad.png|thumb|A round mound of gray fatness.]]<br /> == Biography ==<br /> Strong Sad is the depressing character. The youngest of the Brothers Strong, he is represented as both intellectual and creative, but his genius is usually overwhelmed by his depression. Strong Sad has been seen energetic only when under the influence of [[caffeine]] or [[The Deathly Pallor|shock radio]]. When [[Strong Bad]] and Strong Sad were younger, they seemed to [[The Secrets That I Keep|get along]], but nowadays Strong Sad suffers almost constant [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|abuse]] from Strong Bad. In fact, he is often the subject of Strong Bad, [[The Cheat]], and [[Strong Mad]]'s practical jokes, and Strong Bad has quite a list of [[Nicknames#Strong Sad|nicknames]] he's used to insult Strong Sad. In turn, Strong Sad has a very low opinion of his older brother and considers him to be a clueless weirdo, which is usually true. Unfortunately (for Strong Sad), his opinions usually fall upon deaf ears. Despite all this, it is sometimes implied that Strong Sad still holds some degree of brotherly love towards Strong Bad. The rest of the cast tolerate him, but also discourage him. He has an [[Strong Sad's iPod|iPod]] and loves to play board games. His interests include listening, books, listening to books, calligraphy, poetry, safety, being alone, arts, crafts, and arts b/w crafts. He is also a poet. He seems to enjoy going to Cons, as seen in [[different town]] and [[TrogdorCon '97]]. He keeps a blog, updated sometimes, that is referred to as [[Strong Sad's Lament]]. There is a [[Strong Sad Lookalike Contest]] held annually. He has perfect handwriting and elephant-like feet, preferably called "[[Soolnds|soolnds]]", which poachers have offered a large sum of money to obtain. Apparently, his only friends are [[Marzipan]], whom he seems to have a crush on; [[Homsar]]; and to some extent [[The Cheat]], whom he plays Jenga with on Tuesdays.<br /> <br /> *'''Domicile''': [[House of the Brothers Strong]]<br /> *'''Debut''': First Seen: "[[Super NES]]" First Mentioned: "[[In Search of The Yello Dello]]"<br /> *[[:Category:Strong Sad Filmography|Complete Filmography]]<br /> <br /> == Character Video Transcript ==<br /> ''{'''Page Title''': Poetry Slam!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[Strong Sad's Room]]}''<br /> <br /> ''{Open with a black screen.

His brothers are [[Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Sad]], and he is the oldest of the three. He and [[The Cheat]] are "The next bosom buddies" according to a [[Toons Menu|TV TIME]] cover, and though he often tries to help Strong Bad with his evil plans, he usually only messes up. He communicates mostly in simple sentences shouted in a sort of drone. He seems to be (or have been) a wrestler, for he wears a blue spandex singlet with an "M" on it. He's basically a big lug, but with a big heart: even though it doesn't look like it, Strong Mad has a soft side. In [[Where's the Cheat?]] he was actually crying over an autographed picture of The Cheat, given to him by the little yellow guy. Strong Mad has a [[Horrible Painting]] in his closet that gives Strong Bad the jibblies. Strong Mad fancies himself as an artist like his younger brother, but his inability to control his strength usually foils his creativity, the only exception being his claymation toon "Doug the Dino". He does, however, play the bass guitar.

I have removed it and replaced it with the section below. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> === The Code ===<br /> This is the code for the ending:<br /> <pre>function showEnding () {<br /> var _local3 = 0<br /> for ( var _local2 = 0; _local2 < TOTAL_QUESTIONS; _local2++){<br /> _local3 = (_local3) + answers[_local2]<br /> }<br /> _local3 = (_local3) % 5<br /> _root.gotoAndPlay("end" + (_local3) + 1)<br /> }</pre><br /> <br /> The program reads through an array of <code>answers[]</code> and adds them into a variable called <code>_local3</code>. It then divides that figure by 5 and takes the remainder. It adds 1 to the result and plays the frames that correspond to the following labels:<br /> <pre>end1: tofu<br /> end2: eyeball<br /> end3: Frenchman<br /> end4: grodelated Marzipan<br /> end5: the Goblin</pre><br /> So the mathematical theory is correct.

Each option you select has a value attached to it, either 1, 2, or 3. When you select it, it gets added to a total value, at the end, your total value decides the transformation. This means that each set of choices probably has one 1-point option, one 2-point option, and one 3-point option. This is supported by the fact that some of the encounters seem to have a "best" choice, such as doing a dance for Bubs or getting the Ghost Water (outlined in the ingredients) from Coach Z. Chances are there's a special transformation if you get all the 3-point answers. Just a theory.

Whenever you're able to highlight the characters, you're looking at a particular frame. When you click on one of them, it moves to a different spot in the file and plays the appropriate mini-scene. You can't click on the characters because there are no buttons in these frames. When the mini-scene is done, it goes back to the costumes frame. To insert Homsar into the scene, they just created a sprite with him in it and overlayed it at the end. The sprite is the same whether you're looking at the costumes frame or one of the mini-scenes, which is why it behaves the same way in both instances (just like Homestar's eyes blink even when the file is paused). If they ''really'' wanted to, they could have done any number of workarounds to this, but, being on a deadline, you can hardly fault them for doing it the easiest way. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :::: Regardless of the technical reason for it, the end result is that Homsar's "overlay" behaves differently than all of the rest of the characters, without a good visible reason to the casual user.

I have removed it and replaced it with the section below. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> === The Code ===<br /> This is the code for the ending:<br /> <pre>function showEnding () {<br /> var _local3 = 0<br /> for ( var _local2 = 0; _local2 < TOTAL_QUESTIONS; _local2++){<br /> _local3 = (_local3) + answers[_local2]<br /> }<br /> _local3 = (_local3) % 5<br /> _root.gotoAndPlay("end" + (_local3) + 1)<br /> }</pre><br /> <br /> The program reads through an array of <code>answers[]</code> and adds them into a variable called <code>_local3</code>. It then divides that figure by 5 and takes the remainder. It adds 1 to the result and plays the frames that correspond to the following labels:<br /> <pre>end1: tofu<br /> end2: eyeball<br /> end3: Frenchman<br /> end4: grodelated Marzipan<br /> end5: the Goblin</pre><br /> So the mathematical theory is correct.

Each option you select has a value attached to it, either 1, 2, or 3. When you select it, it gets added to a total value, at the end, your total value decides the transformation. This means that each set of choices probably has one 1-point option, one 2-point option, and one 3-point option. This is supported by the fact that some of the encounters seem to have a "best" choice, such as doing a dance for Bubs or getting the Ghost Water (outlined in the ingredients) from Coach Z. Chances are there's a special transformation if you get all the 3-point answers. Just a theory.

Whenever you're able to highlight the characters, you're looking at a particular frame. When you click on one of them, it moves to a different spot in the file and plays the appropriate mini-scene. You can't click on the characters because there are no buttons in these frames. When the mini-scene is done, it goes back to the costumes frame. To insert Homsar into the scene, they just created a sprite with him in it and overlayed it at the end. The sprite is the same whether you're looking at the costumes frame or one of the mini-scenes, which is why it behaves the same way in both instances (just like Homestar's eyes blink even when the file is paused). If they ''really'' wanted to, they could have done any number of workarounds to this, but, being on a deadline, you can hardly fault them for doing it the easiest way. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :::: Regardless of the technical reason for it, the end result is that Homsar's "overlay" behaves differently than all of the rest of the characters, without a good visible reason to the casual user.

Someone might want to double check this just to make sure, though -- I only went through it 4 times.<br /> <br /> :Yeah, that is a bit off. I got Essence of Strong Mad Prank and it resulted in Tofu Homestar. [[User:Azure Haights|Azure Haights]] 06:51, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::I don't think that's it.

[[User:Gus|Gus]] 19:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :I'm sorry, but that table was just too long. I have removed it and replaced it with the section below. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> === The Code ===<br /> This is the code for the ending:<br /> <pre>function showEnding () {<br /> var _local3 = 0<br /> for ( var _local2 = 0; _local2 < TOTAL_QUESTIONS; _local2++){<br /> _local3 = (_local3) + answers[_local2]<br /> }<br /> _local3 = (_local3) % 5<br /> _root.gotoAndPlay("end" + (_local3) + 1)<br /> }</pre><br /> <br /> The program reads through an array of <code>answers[]</code> and adds them into a variable called <code>_local3</code>. It then divides that figure by 5 and takes the remainder. It adds 1 to the result and plays the frames that correspond to the following labels:<br /> <pre>end1: tofu<br /> end2: eyeball<br /> end3: Frenchman<br /> end4: grodelated Marzipan<br /> end5: the Goblin</pre><br /> So the mathematical theory is correct. By the way, the code just says "end1", "end2", etc. The descriptions listed there are just what I called them. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Transformations theory... ==<br /> <br /> As someone who's done a little basic programming, I know one of the EASIEST ways TBC might have made this system work. Each option you select has a value attached to it, either 1, 2, or 3. When you select it, it gets added to a total value, at the end, your total value decides the transformation. This means that each set of choices probably has one 1-point option, one 2-point option, and one 3-point option. This is supported by the fact that some of the encounters seem to have a "best" choice, such as doing a dance for Bubs or getting the Ghost Water (outlined in the ingredients) from Coach Z. Chances are there's a special transformation if you get all the 3-point answers. Just a theory. [[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 07:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Halloween Costumes==<br /> Someone put up the halloween costume list in the fun facts.

I wouldn't mind numbering them 0-4 myself. It just bothers me a little, listing 1 as the first one, knowing that programmatically, 0 is really first (in terms of ordering). Oh, the bane that is modular arithmetic. Yes, I am being pedantic. :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 08:59, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> : Whatever works. 1-5 is easier to read for the average person who doesn't care about calculating which ending they're gonna get. 0-4 works better with the Trivia fact. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 09:05, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::I concur!

As for a reference to "getting lucky"... if kids understand what that means before they "should", that's on their parents. That's the whole point of a euphemism... it can be used in mixed company.

Whenever you're able to highlight the characters, you're looking at a particular frame. When you click on one of them, it moves to a different spot in the file and plays the appropriate mini-scene. You can't click on the characters because there are no buttons in these frames. When the mini-scene is done, it goes back to the costumes frame. To insert Homsar into the scene, they just created a sprite with him in it and overlayed it at the end. The sprite is the same whether you're looking at the costumes frame or one of the mini-scenes, which is why it behaves the same way in both instances (just like Homestar's eyes blink even when the file is paused). If they ''really'' wanted to, they could have done any number of workarounds to this, but, being on a deadline, you can hardly fault them for doing it the easiest way. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :::: Regardless of the technical reason for it, the end result is that Homsar's "overlay" behaves differently than all of the rest of the characters, without a good visible reason to the casual user.

"Essence of Doo-Doo Meringue" results in Tofu Homestar, "Essence of Strong Mad's Finger Dipped in a Glass of Warm Water" (or however it went) gives you a Marzipan with really bad teeth and a weird voice, and "Essence of Gullibility" leads to classy French Homestar.

I have removed it and replaced it with the section below. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> === The Code ===<br /> This is the code for the ending:<br /> <pre>function showEnding () {<br /> var _local3 = 0<br /> for ( var _local2 = 0; _local2 < TOTAL_QUESTIONS; _local2++){<br /> _local3 = (_local3) + answers[_local2]<br /> }<br /> _local3 = (_local3) % 5<br /> _root.gotoAndPlay("end" + (_local3) + 1)<br /> }</pre><br /> <br /> The program reads through an array of <code>answers[]</code> and adds them into a variable called <code>_local3</code>. It then divides that figure by 5 and takes the remainder. It adds 1 to the result and plays the frames that correspond to the following labels:<br /> <pre>end1: tofu<br /> end2: eyeball<br /> end3: Frenchman<br /> end4: grodelated Marzipan<br /> end5: the Goblin</pre><br /> So the mathematical theory is correct. By the way, the code just says "end1", "end2", etc. The descriptions listed there are just what I called them. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Transformations theory... ==<br /> <br /> As someone who's done a little basic programming, I know one of the EASIEST ways TBC might have made this system work. Each option you select has a value attached to it, either 1, 2, or 3. When you select it, it gets added to a total value, at the end, your total value decides the transformation. This means that each set of choices probably has one 1-point option, one 2-point option, and one 3-point option. This is supported by the fact that some of the encounters seem to have a "best" choice, such as doing a dance for Bubs or getting the Ghost Water (outlined in the ingredients) from Coach Z. Chances are there's a special transformation if you get all the 3-point answers. Just a theory. [[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 07:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Halloween Costumes==<br /> Someone put up the halloween costume list in the fun facts.

Whenever you're able to highlight the characters, you're looking at a particular frame. When you click on one of them, it moves to a different spot in the file and plays the appropriate mini-scene. You can't click on the characters because there are no buttons in these frames. When the mini-scene is done, it goes back to the costumes frame. To insert Homsar into the scene, they just created a sprite with him in it and overlayed it at the end. The sprite is the same whether you're looking at the costumes frame or one of the mini-scenes, which is why it behaves the same way in both instances (just like Homestar's eyes blink even when the file is paused). If they ''really'' wanted to, they could have done any number of workarounds to this, but, being on a deadline, you can hardly fault them for doing it the easiest way. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :::: Regardless of the technical reason for it, the end result is that Homsar's "overlay" behaves differently than all of the rest of the characters, without a good visible reason to the casual user.

"Essence of Doo-Doo Meringue" results in Tofu Homestar, "Essence of Strong Mad's Finger Dipped in a Glass of Warm Water" (or however it went) gives you a Marzipan with really bad teeth and a weird voice, and "Essence of Gullibility" leads to classy French Homestar. Someone might want to double check this just to make sure, though -- I only went through it 4 times.<br /> <br /> :Yeah, that is a bit off. I got Essence of Strong Mad Prank and it resulted in Tofu Homestar. [[User:Azure Haights|Azure Haights]] 06:51, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::I don't think that's it.

[[User:Gus|Gus]] 19:40, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :I'm sorry, but that table was just too long. I have removed it and replaced it with the section below. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> === The Code ===<br /> This is the code for the ending:<br /> <pre>function showEnding () {<br /> var _local3 = 0<br /> for ( var _local2 = 0; _local2 < TOTAL_QUESTIONS; _local2++){<br /> _local3 = (_local3) + answers[_local2]<br /> }<br /> _local3 = (_local3) % 5<br /> _root.gotoAndPlay("end" + (_local3) + 1)<br /> }</pre><br /> <br /> The program reads through an array of <code>answers[]</code> and adds them into a variable called <code>_local3</code>. It then divides that figure by 5 and takes the remainder. It adds 1 to the result and plays the frames that correspond to the following labels:<br /> <pre>end1: tofu<br /> end2: eyeball<br /> end3: Frenchman<br /> end4: grodelated Marzipan<br /> end5: the Goblin</pre><br /> So the mathematical theory is correct. By the way, the code just says "end1", "end2", etc. The descriptions listed there are just what I called them. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Transformations theory... ==<br /> <br /> As someone who's done a little basic programming, I know one of the EASIEST ways TBC might have made this system work. Each option you select has a value attached to it, either 1, 2, or 3. When you select it, it gets added to a total value, at the end, your total value decides the transformation. This means that each set of choices probably has one 1-point option, one 2-point option, and one 3-point option. This is supported by the fact that some of the encounters seem to have a "best" choice, such as doing a dance for Bubs or getting the Ghost Water (outlined in the ingredients) from Coach Z. Chances are there's a special transformation if you get all the 3-point answers. Just a theory. [[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 07:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Halloween Costumes==<br /> Someone put up the halloween costume list in the fun facts. I removed it, because that belongs in the halloween costumes article. -- [[user:DJ Teh Cheat|DJ Teh Cheat]]<br /> <br /> Also, i noticed that someone put costume defenitions in the outside references. do these belong here, or should we keep them on the halloween costumes page? -- The Same Guy as the Last Thing<br /> ==Homestar Variations==<br /> Should we plan on making seperate stub articles for French Homestar, One eyeball Homestar, and Freaky Marzipan? or should we wait and see if they ever reappear? -- [[user:DJ Teh Cheat|DJ Teh Cheat]]<br /> <br /> == Order of transformations ==<br /> <br /> [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Halloween_Potion-ma-jig&diff=187936&oldid=187935 True]! I wouldn't mind numbering them 0-4 myself. It just bothers me a little, listing 1 as the first one, knowing that programmatically, 0 is really first (in terms of ordering). Oh, the bane that is modular arithmetic. Yes, I am being pedantic. :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 08:59, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> : Whatever works. 1-5 is easier to read for the average person who doesn't care about calculating which ending they're gonna get. 0-4 works better with the Trivia fact. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 09:05, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> ::I concur! (My eye's still twitching a little but I can live with that ;) )--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 09:06, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :::1-5 is best, because that's what they're called in the code.

KnF'nC seems like a prety direct reference to 'F***in' and Homestar sing about 'getting lucky tonight' - what about the kids? -- Steve-o 11/1/05<br /> : Uh, I'd say it's more a pretty direct reference to the fact that 'n' can be used as a contraction for "and": "K and F and C", giving us the familiar letters in a non-registered-servicemark-infringing form. As for a reference to "getting lucky"... if kids understand what that means before they "should", that's on their parents. That's the whole point of a euphemism... it can be used in mixed company. Besides, who are we to say what "getting lucky" means in Homestar's head? All in all, I'd worry about where your mind is going and let TBC worry about theirs...

Whenever you're able to highlight the characters, you're looking at a particular frame. When you click on one of them, it moves to a different spot in the file and plays the appropriate mini-scene. You can't click on the characters because there are no buttons in these frames. When the mini-scene is done, it goes back to the costumes frame. To insert Homsar into the scene, they just created a sprite with him in it and overlayed it at the end. The sprite is the same whether you're looking at the costumes frame or one of the mini-scenes, which is why it behaves the same way in both instances (just like Homestar's eyes blink even when the file is paused). If they ''really'' wanted to, they could have done any number of workarounds to this, but, being on a deadline, you can hardly fault them for doing it the easiest way. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:32, 1 November 2005 (UTC)<br /> :::: Regardless of the technical reason for it, the end result is that Homsar's "overlay" behaves differently than all of the rest of the characters, without a good visible reason to the casual user.

The technical reason is why it ''shouldn't'' be listed as a goof. Goofs are when TBC make an actual ''mistake''. This is not a mistake; therefore, it is just a remark.

Is there a way to stop that?<br /> <br /> ''Posted by Martin F.'' (I've been putting this signature until I get my username updated lol)<br /> <br /> :Stopping vandalism and other inappropriate edits is easy. First of all, there's strength in numbers. The vast majority of users are not stupid or careless, and are willing to patrol the wiki to protect it from those who are. The main tool for this is the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes page]], which allows users to monitor the current edits. Reverting a page that has been vandalized is a simple and straightforward procedure. All in all, the risk isn't that great, and the freedom of the wiki more than makes up for the necessity of having to keep an eye on things. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:47, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Eggs a running gag? ==<br /> <br /> I seem to have found some evidence of eggs being a running gag.

It looks great, but I think it could use some improvement, especially the "Accesories" section. The pictures stretch the screen on smaller screens, and I think it'd look nice if most, if not all, of the products were tables with the "closeup" feature on all of them. I also don't really like the direct images from the actual Homestar Runner Store. I think they could use some editing (and better quality). If the whole thing was a table, it wouldn't look so cluttered and messy, but easy on the eyes and not as difficult to read.
