Thunderbird L17: Cleaning up and adding some information. It's an actually worthwhile edit!

[[Image:Box Computer.PNG|thumb|220px|"E-COMMERCE! E-BUSINESS!"]]
'''Strong Mad's computer''' is a less-than-functional computer, which [[Strong Mad]] uses to do e-commerce and e-business. It appears in the email [[the facts]].

The monitor is drawn on a paper bag with a black marker, with the word "DiSK" written across it in red marker. A large [[cardboard box]] sits next to it, originally labeled "NOT CAR PARTS". It has a [[Floppy Disk Container|floppy disk container]] drawn on it with black marker, labeled "disks". The monitor has a star logo and two brightness/contrast knobs that make it resemble an old Macintosh computer or the [[Tandy 400]].

Hi, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Thunderbird L17, but generally I just go by Thunderbird. I'm an [[Wikipedia:Electrician|electrician]] from [[Wikipedia:Canada|Canada]], and I was born in 1986. You do the math.
=== <span style="color:#C90">A Brief History</span> ===
I first was introduced to Homestar Runner through my cousin during a lull in an MSN conversation, via [[HR:sbemail77.html|this link]], and that was in late August of 2003. Nearly a year later, a different friend of mine gave me [[old:Peasant's Quest/Walkthrough|this link]] to a walkthrough for Peasant's Quest that she found. When I returned a day or two later to sign up and explore this site further, I was greeted with [[:Image:this is real.png|this image]], as the site had begun it's switch to MediaWiki. Several weeks later the image was removed, and it finally re-opened, allowing me to to create this account on September 14th, 2004. After over seven months of contributions, I was made a sysop on April 26th, 2005 during the [[HRWiki:April 2005 Sysop Nominations|2005 Sysop Nominations]].
=== <span style="color:#C90">About The Screen Name</span> ===
My screenname — Thunderbird L17 — doesn't have anything to do with the [[Wikipedia:Ford Thunderbird|car]], or the fact that I'm an electrician. It's more the inspiration of the [[Wikipedia:Thunderbird (mythology)|legendary creature]] from [[Wikipedia:Native American|Native American]] mythology. And no, I am not Native American. I enjoy the heritage of [[Wikipedia:Scotland|Scotland]] and... [[Wikipedia:Ontario|Ontario]]. But I prefer the Scottish half. Thunderbird was simply my first internet screen name when I played [[Wikipedia:Age Of Empires|Age Of Empires]] back in the late 90's, now I use it for all my screen names. The L17 stands for my first initial and my age when I first started coming to this site. It's a progressive screenname; on the forum I am Thunderbird L18, and usually on the IRC chat channel I use ThunderbirdL(Insert current age here). That way I can keep track of when I first signed up for a certain account.
=== <span style="color:#C90">What I Do</span> ===
As I mentioned before, I'm a sysop around here and try and keep things standardized and running smoothly. See my list of notable contributions below for the kind of editing contributions I've done around here. Besides those pages, I also try and keep the Featured Article of the Week running smoothly, keep Personal Images and Signature sizes under control, and I'm always willing to help out fellow users whenever they ask. I'm also the unoffical wiki Public Relations guy, since I'm usually the one that sends emails to other sites asking for interview reprint permission, image reuse, etc. I even attended Flashforward Seattle 2006 with a press pass in behalf of the wiki.

== <span style="color:#C90">Contributions</span> ==
=== <span style="color:#C90">Flashforward</span> ===
[[Image:Flashforward Autograph.PNG|thumb|Autograph Given To Thunderbird|190px]]Perhaps my greatest contribution to the wiki occured on February 28th, 2006, when I attended [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]]. It all started when InterruptorJones first created the article, alerting me to the fact that [[The Brothers Chaps]] would be in Seattle the same day I would be down there on business anyways. Admission was pricy however, but I was determined to find a way. A week later I noticed an interview with The Brothers Chaps go up on the Flashforward website, and I emailed the powers that be as usual, to let them know we were transcribing it. They appreciated this, and asked if there was anything else they could help me with. I ran with this oppourtunity, and asked if there was any way I could pay to attend just The Brothers Chaps' presentation. They replied instead with a free press pass, for me to cover the event in behalf of the wiki. I went to the presentation, met the Chaps, was given the pictured autograph, and less than two weeks later had completed the summary of the event.
=== <span style="color:#C90">Top 17 Contributions</span> ===
*[[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> As mentioned before, my proudest "exclusive" contribution. At the time it was the fourth largest original page on the wiki, written entirely by myself. Still one of the best pages, in my opinion.
*[[Floppy Disk Container]], [[Couch Mumbling]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> My next proudest pages. I did nearly all of the info and formatting. The Floppy Disk Container was the largest original page on the wiki, and it's still in the top ten.
*[[:Template:updates-box|H*R.com updates article series]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Added nearly all of the updates for 2000-03 by sifting through LiveJournals, and I kept the entire series of articles standardized.
*[[Interviews and Public Appearances]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Created the page, and did most of the work, including most of the pages, several transcripts, much of the research, formatting, and lots of email correspondence for the reprint permission.
*[[HRWiki:Questions]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Started it as a subpage, and threw a bunch of questions there. With the rest of the wiki's help, it has since evolved into it's own project namespace article.
*[[Strong Bad Email By Name of Sender|Strong Bad Email By Name]] and [[Strong Bad Email By Place|Place]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Read about the idea on the Strong Bad E-mail talk page, and created these twin pages in response. Added the first 100+ emails when I started it, and later reformatted the name one into tables.
*[[Store Thank You Messages]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Created the page from disorganized summaries in the Store, did pretty much all the work on it, including pics.
*[[Random Toon]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Convinced other users it was needed and spearheaded the page as soon as soon as Random toons selection began, resulting in much debugging info being saved before it was fixed and lost.
*[[Duck Guardian One]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Summaries of last 20 or so levels, completely made level select after finding it in the forum (after a while the links broke and it became obsolite, but it was cool while it lasted), and came up with armor glitch.
*[[Holidays]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Started the page and worked on it lots, including finding and listing all the additional Holiday Toons.
*[[Halloween Costumes]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Created the page, and uploaded many of the pics.
*[[Monkey D]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Created the page, and added the pics.
*[[Sketchbook (museum)]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Expanded on a very basic summary to add pictures and captions.
*[[Making Out]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Came up with the idea, and made the page, along with a list of most of the occurances.
*[[Toilets]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Created the page, watch over it, and added most of the pics. I don't know why I like it so much, but I do.
=== <span style="color:#C90">Top 7 Scribings</span> ===
*[[Wired News Radio Interview - 23 June 2003]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Wrote the transcript for the entire 19 minute interview.
*[[Flashforward]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Transcribed most of the toon a full eight months before it was officially released, since it was shown at Flashforward 2006.
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Wrote the entire transcript, and built the whole base page.
*[[Sketchbook (video)]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Stumbled across it only half complete, finished the other half of the transcript.
*[[Flashforward Interview - 10 Feb 2006]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> I only scribed one minute of this transcript. The majority was done by [[User:Phlip|Phlip]], with additional pieces from [[User:Kookykman|Kookykman]], [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]], and [[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]].
*[[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Scribed the last half of the Sample of Style Too section.
*[[death metal]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Only scribed the Easter Eggs. Not much to brag about.
=== <span style="color:#C90">Top 5 Images</span><span style="color:#FFF"> (All done exclusively in MS Paint)</span> ===
*[[:Image:The Basement.PNG|Widescreen Basement]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> An early image of mine, it took quite a bit of work to splice that image together, especially in MS Paint.
*[[:Image:ComputerRoomFull.PNG|Full Computer Room]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Spliced together images from [[flashback]] and [[pop-up]]. [[User:Phlip|Phlip]] later spliced The Cheat's Lightswitch into the image.
*[[:Image:CarvenivalCostumes.PNG|Carvenival Costumes]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Spliced character captions in from 13 different screenshots.
*[[:Image:SuckyTreatsCostumes.PNG|Sucky Treats Costumes]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Spliced character captions in from 12 different screenshots.
*[[:Image:Flashforward Autograph.PNG|Flashforward Autograph]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> Scan of an autograph given to me from [[The Brothers Chaps]].

=== <span style="color:#C90">Contributions By The Numbers</span> ===
*Over 10,000 total database entries. <span style="color:#FFF">Includes all log entries and deleted edits.</span>
*And I've welcomed well over 150 new Users. <span style="color:#FFF">I was "welcomed" by "BurninatorBoombox&Markie"</span>

Hi, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Thunderbird L17, but generally I just go by Thunderbird. I'm an [[Wikipedia:Electrician|electrician]] from [[Wikipedia:Canada|Canada]], and I was born in 1986. You do the math.
=== <span style="color:#C90">A Brief History</span> ===
I first was introduced to Homestar Runner through my cousin during a lull in an MSN conversation, via [[HR:sbemail77.html|this link]], and that was in late August of 2003. Nearly a year later, a different friend of mine gave me [[old:Peasant's Quest/Walkthrough|this link]] to a walkthrough for Peasant's Quest that she found. When I returned a day or two later to sign up and explore this site further, I was greeted with [[:Image:this is real.png|this image]], as the site had begun it's switch to MediaWiki. Several weeks later the image was removed, and it finally re-opened, allowing me to to create this account on September 14th, 2004. After over seven months of contributions, I was made a sysop on April 26th, 2005 during the [[HRWiki:April 2005 Sysop Nominations|2005 Sysop Nominations]].
=== <span style="color:#C90">About The Screen Name</span> ===
My screenname — Thunderbird L17 — doesn't have anything to do with the [[Wikipedia:Ford Thunderbird|car]], or the fact that I'm an electrician. It's more the inspiration of the [[Wikipedia:Thunderbird (mythology)|legendary creature]] from [[Wikipedia:Native American|Native American]] mythology. And no, I am not Native American. I enjoy the heritage of [[Wikipedia:Scotland|Scotland]] and... [[Wikipedia:Ontario|Ontario]]. But I prefer the Scottish half. Thunderbird was simply my first internet screen name when I played [[Wikipedia:Age Of Empires|Age Of Empires]] back in the late 90's, now I use it for all my screen names. The L17 stands for my first initial and my age when I first started coming to this site. It's a progressive screenname; on the forum I am Thunderbird L18, and usually on the IRC chat channel I use ThunderbirdL(Insert current age here). That way I can keep track of when I first signed up for a certain account.
=== <span style="color:#C90">What I Do</span> ===
As I mentioned before, I'm a sysop around here and try and keep things standardized and running smoothly. See my list of notable contributions below for the kind of editing contributions I've done around here. Besides those pages, I also try and keep the Featured Article of the Week running smoothly, keep Personal Images and Signature sizes under control, and I'm always willing to help out fellow users whenever they ask. I'm also the unoffical wiki Public Relations guy, since I'm usually the one that sends emails to other sites asking for interview reprint permission, image reuse, etc. I even attended Flashforward Seattle 2006 with a press pass in behalf of the wiki.

== <span style="color:#C90">Contributions</span> ==
=== <span style="color:#C90">Flashforward</span> ===
[[Image:Flashforward Autograph.PNG|thumb|Autograph Given To Thunderbird|190px]]Perhaps my greatest contribution to the wiki occured on February 28th, 2006, when I attended [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]]. It all started when InterruptorJones first created the article, alerting me to the fact that [[The Brothers Chaps]] would be in Seattle the same day I would be down there on business anyways. Admission was pricy however, but I was determined to find a way. A week later I noticed an interview with The Brothers Chaps go up on the Flashforward website, and I emailed the powers that be as usual, to let them know we were transcribing it. They appreciated this, and asked if there was anything else they could help me with. I ran with this oppourtunity, and asked if there was any way I could pay to attend just The Brothers Chaps' presentation. They replied instead with a free press pass, for me to cover the event in behalf of the wiki. I went to the presentation, met the Chaps, was given the pictured autograph, and less than two weeks later had completed the summary of the event.
=== <span style="color:#C90">Top 17 Contributions</span> ===
*[[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> As mentioned before, my proudest "exclusive" contribution. At the time it was the fourth largest original page on the wiki, written entirely by myself. Still one of the best pages, in my opinion.
*[[Floppy Disk Container]], [[Couch Mumbling]] <span style="color:#C90">⇔</span> My next proudest pages. I did nearly all of the info and formatting. The Floppy Disk Container was the largest original page on the wiki, and it's still in the top ten.

Thunderbird L17: /* December 2009 to present */ Clarifying That They're Not Working On An Animated Short That Was Made In 2007.

The [[Brothers Chaps]] occasionally take breaks from producing Homestar Runner content, sometimes to attend to family or to work on other projects, or for other reasons. During these hiatus periods site updates are either absent or are much less frequent than normal.

== September 2008 to June 2009 ==

Following the release of [[email thunder]] on September 23rd, Strong Bad emails stopped coming out at its original pace. After the release of [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Six]] came out, it was revealed in the commentary that the Brother Chaps decided to stop doing Strong Bad emails. However, this decision was temporary, as on May 14, it was revealed that the Brother Chaps was taking a break to expand their output, as they felt 200 was a nice round number to take a break. Sure enough, on June 30, the 201st Strong Bad email, [[hremail3184]] was released following a nine-month hiatus. Strong Bad emails then started being released on a monthly basis, until October.

== December 2009 to present ==
On Tuesday, December 1, 2009, [[Matt Chapman]] made the following announcement on the [[Feedburner]] page:

<blockquote>You loyal RSS subscriber-types get the inside scoop: A new very, very little girl has been birthed unto the Chaps family so please be patient with updates as we head into the year's end. ... Thanks for your patience and high five!</blockquote>

Since that time, site updates have consisted of the [[Xeriouxly Forxe|the annual April Fools' gag]] and a Xeriously Forxe-themed [[Main Page 26|main page]]. The brothers also released exclusively to HRWiki some [[Sbemail 136 Alternate Versions|rough draft scripts]] for [[geddup noise|Sbemail 136]] and the previously unreleased [[Soap Box Doiby]] toon.

Emails received by the HRWiki's administrators from Matt and [[Mike Chapman]] have made assurances that [[Homestar Runner (universe)|Homestar Runner]] is not finished. During the hiatus, Matt is working with [[Craig Zobel]] on ''[[Ron Planet]]'' and on an animated movie entitled [[IMDb:tt1458170|''Monster Safari'']] with the Jim Henson Company. The brothers are also working with [[Telltale Games]] on ''[[Poker Night at the Inventory]]'', a video game slated to have more dialogue in it than an average [[Telltale Games|Sam & Max]] episode.

== Records Set ==
* Least amount of toons in a year at two.
* Fewest Weekies updates at zero.
* Ties for fewest big toons, at zero.
* Ties for most April Fools Day toons.
* Longest time between updates, at four months, plus the current hiatus exceding six.

Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006

Thunderbird L17: Consistent Dots!

[[Image:Flashforward 2006 Seattle logo.PNG|thumb|300px|Flashforward 2006 Seattle Logo]]

From the Flashforward web site:

<blockquote>Take a step back in time as Mike and Matt Chapman show how they still use Flash® 5 to make the weekly cartoons featured on HomestarRunner.com. Learn the secrets and not-so-secrets of making a 3-5 minute cartoon every week. Hear about their six years on the web, watch some of their stuff, and learn how they've managed to make a living doing something they like.</blockquote>

[[The Brothers Chaps]] appeared at '''Flashforward 2006,''' a conference for Flash designers and developers, on February 28, 2006, in Seattle, Washington. They conducted a session called "How and Why [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] Cartoons Get Made" in Room 6B from 3:45 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. HRWiki user and [[HRWiki:Sysops|sysop]] [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] was generously given a media pass from the people at Flashforward to cover the event on behalf of the wiki.

==The Presentation==
<noinclude>{{uncensored|Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006 (censored)}}</noinclude>
===Introductions - 3:45 p.m.===

[[Image:Flashforward Convention.JPG|thumb|The presentation]]The presentation was hosted by [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] and [[Matt Chapman]]. While booting up their laptop, one could glimpse "3726 unread emails" on Matt's user profile. After setting up and introducing themselves, they announced that they had each brought a [[Wikipedia:Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]], and had started a [[Wikipedia:PictoChat|PictoChat]] which they would carry on intermittently throughout the presentation. Before long two members of the audience had joined the conversation. Matt then showed what he had been working on during the keynote address: A humorous sketch of Mike and two gorillas. After explaining that they were Flash animators for their website, [[homestarrunner.com]], they showed a sample of their work: [[virus]].

===Early History - 3:50 p.m.===

First they began with the site history, showing the early progression of the site.
*Stills from the [[Original Book]], and related the history of making the book during the Olympics of August 1996.
*A clip from the next thing they had made, the toon [[Super NES]] using [[Wikipedia:Mario Paint|Mario Paint]] on the SNES system.
*A clip of a toon they made to teach themselves Flash: [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]. They froze this clip and pointed out various animation problems, such as the jagged edges and inconsistent colors.
*A clip from the beginning of [[The Luau]]; from 2001. Mike commented on stealing the lens flare idea from ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', and pointed out the bottom edge of the cube of Tofu disappearing early.
*In late 2001 they started the [[Strong Bad Emails]], along with the original intention of replying to every email in character, and animating a select email each week. That plan was quickly abandoned, but they did decide to start making a Strong Bad Email weekly around January 2002. They then showed a favorite clip of theirs, the love song from [[montage]]. They generally consider early 2002 being the point where their animation reached a "style plateau".

===Samples of Styles - 3:55 p.m.===

They went on to relate how the website is kept creatively interesting, through various animation styles. They showed stills from the different styles, namely:
*[[Teen Girl Squad]] - A badly drawn comic book about four teenage girls.
*The [[Cheat Commandos]] - A play on [[Wikipedia:G.I. Joe|G.I. Joe]] and [[Wikipedia:Transformers|Transformers]], with [[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Photoshopped]], grainy backgrounds and hairline strokes around the characters.
*[[20X6]] - The [[Wikipedia:anime|anime]] version of [[Strong Bad]], akin to a [[Wikipedia:Speed Racer|Speed Racer]] or [[Wikipedia:Robotech|Robotech]] style.
*[[Old-Timey]] - Their earliest alternate style, which was originally intended to make a fake mythology for the site. This was described as a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Steamboat Willie|Steamboat Willie]], from 1933.
*[[Saddy Dumpington]] - A character [[Strong Sad]] made up, drawn in a watercolor style.
Because they are self-employed and thus don't answer to a boss, creatively they are able to do really whatever they want, such as a "bad heavy metal song"; they can do it and call it Homestar Runner.

===More History, The Store, and Related Topics - 4:00 p.m.===

They then returned to their history of the website, starting in 2001.
*In 2001 they began selling [[Store T-Shirts|T-shirts]].
*In August of 2003 Matt quit his job at EarthLink, and began working on the site full time. Earlier Matt had gone on the EarthLink website, and found a page that still featured many of his images he had made for the company, such as a calculator and a wad of money.
They also mentioned the [[Store]], and how they sell products such as CDs, DVDs, Figurines and T-shirts. They try to keep the store a separate entity, without ramming it down visitors' throats. They recalled, with distaste, sites that would play an ad to buy some crap, and another ad after that would link you directly to the store. Their method of building their business ended up building a fan base first out of their own pocket, and then introducing merchandise, which they admit isn't traditionally a good business model. They mentioned that they now live in different houses, with wives, instead of in their parents' basement, as some may believe. They showed a still from the [[Pulse Interview - May 2004|2004 Pulse Interview]]; which was them pixelated wearing fake mustaches, posing as the [[Videlectrix]] programmers. They also mentioned that they still do all of their animation in Flash 5, and began relating the process of creating a cartoon.

===Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.===

After being momentarily distracted by the continuing Nintendo DS chatroom, they began relating the process of creating a cartoon ("which will just {{{swear|piss}}} you off even more that this is what we do for a living"). When they first started creating weekly cartoons they both still had full time jobs, and therefore created the entire cartoons sometimes after watching the Falcons game in its entirety at 2:00 pm Sunday afternoon. Nowadays a typical four minute cartoon takes the entire week, with animation taking place during the last three or four days.
*Mondays or Tuesdays they begin looking through submitted Strong Bad emails; it sometimes takes four or five hours to find a usable email. They also showcased 5 different groups of emails that would most likely not be answered:
**[[How do you type with boxing gloves on?]]
**What do you look like without your mask?
**What do your [[parents]] look like?
**Redoing a favorite email, usually [[Draw Trogdor Again|redrawing a dragon]].
**Referencing current events. In this case they showcased emails concerning the Olympics, but they also mentioned that emails regarding [[Wikipedia:Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]], [[Wikipedia:The Matrix series|The Matrix]], and [[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|The Lord of the Rings]] were common during their respective releases.
*They then demonstrated their brainstorming process using two small foam balls. Matt lay on the floor and threw a half-size basketball up in the air, suggesting, "So Strong Bad's going to be in like a [[Cardboard Boxes|box]], a cardboard box. That The Cheat peed in." Mike agreed with him throughout this ("Okay, okay, I like it"), then threw his foam baseball at him. They also mentioned that they have been in [[Office of The Brothers Chaps|their office]] for around two years, and vacuumed it for the first time three weeks ago, so lying on the floor is much nicer now.
*In addition to brainstorming, they also wander around their neighborhood (and the depressing adult diaper and hearing aid stores found in the strip mall their offices are in) searching for inspiration.
*After they have an idea of what the cartoon will be about, they usually write separately. After their writing is done they will compare their scripts, and merge them using the best ideas. According to Mike, his writing is usually better. They once again referred to their continuing Nintendo DS conversation, saying that one person said they were giving "too much info".
*Next is recording the sound, which is done using a fairly soundproof sound room and an audio mobile USB pre-amp with an XLR mic running into it. It used to be Matt just sitting at the computer holding an old Super H film microphone or something, never a system mic. This resulted in numerous background noises, such as Matt's hand moving around, the hum of the computer fan, or Mike doing dishes in the background. In the later days Matt draped a blanket over his head and the mic to minimize background noises.

===Animation Process - 4:10 p.m.===

*Matt mentioned a little intro cartoon that they made for "the Festival"; Mike corrected that it was a convention (festivals are more fun). They showed a still of the end of the intro toon, and explained Easter eggs, and how they are the extent of the action script that they use. According to Matt: "So we made a little intro, so anyways we're gonna put on the site, uh, later on this week..." The intro never appeared on the website, but instead was included on the [[Everything Else, Volume 2]] DVD. Then they began to demonstrate the animation process, by adding what they described as an [[Easter eggs|Easter egg]] to the end of the finished toon (on the released DVD version it is simply an extension of the original toon).
**The scene is Homestar Runner and Strong Bad crouched down behind a podium labeled "Podium Excellens". Homestar says to Strong Bad "Strong Bad, I think the elevator's broke."
*[[Image:Flashforward Desktop.JPG|thumb|Matt Chapman's Desktop]]They began by recording the line using the old method of Matt wearing a blanket over his head, and speaking Homestar's line into the mic. Matt also pointed out his laptop's background, which is a screenshot of the [http://www.sq7.org/omnipedia/index.php/Deltaur Deltaur] from [[Wikipedia:Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter|Space Quest I]], another 1980s era video game.
*After revealing that he doesn't label any of his Flash layers, Mike demonstrated lip-syncing the toon. Mike first mixes up Homestar and Strong Bad, then clarifies that ''Homestar's head'' is 3 frames, which gives three different facial expressions to work with. Mike would layer the sound down first, then click on various points of the audio. In Flash 5, this plays a microsecond of the audio, which gives them an indication of what mouth layer to cut and paste into that point. This is one of the reasons they continue to use Flash 5. At least MX 04 does not play a short sound from the point in the audio. They did challenge anybody to make Flash 8 look and act exactly like Flash 5, and they would gladly switch over. Lip-syncing the entire scene only took a few minutes to complete.
*They also talked about the design of the characters, and how they are easy to animate. Although they didn't originally design their characters with animating in Flash in mind, they lucked out that many of their characters don't have arms or legs, and none of their characters are overly complex. That's just how they generally draw and design.
*They also talked about the technical aspects of their animation. They have always animated at 12 frames per second, in a 550 x 400 window, because both of those options were the Flash 5 defaults.
*They also demonstrated "doinking", by making Homestar flinch at certain stresses of the sentence.
*They demonstrated Strong Bad's Mask design, and how they can easily turn his head just by moving the mask and having it cut off at the edge of his head.
*They also briefly explained that they storyboard their toons, then opened the floor to audience questions.

===Graphics and the Wiki - 4:20 p.m.===
====Who does all the voices?====
:'''Matt:''' I doos all the voices. Except for [[Marzipan]], the girl character, which is Mike's wife [[Missy Palmer|Melissa]].
:'''Mike:''' Today's our second wedding anniversary, and I'm here.
:'''Matt:''' She's at home, and pregnant. ''{sarcastically}'' Husband of the year...
:'''Mike:''' I did remember to send her flowers.
*After that first question, Mike went on to talk about something he meant to cover earlier, their drawing. They draw everything in Flash, using drawing tools and a [[Wikipedia:Wacom|Wacom tablet]]. Mike first learned with [[Wikipedia:Adobe Illustrator|Adobe Illustrator]], and by the time Flash 5 came out Mike was comfortable using program drawing tools. They generally try to always break the lines apart, which doesn't leave a rounded edge and allows you to vary the line width. Mike began to demonstrate his artistic skills by drawing something in Flash 5.
*Mike carried on talking about early Flash animations, and how everything ''looked'' like it was drawn in Flash, with gradients everywhere, line tools running into each other, and for that reason they shied away from drawing stuff in Flash, either by tracing in bitmap or scanning it in. Nowadays they are comfortable enough with drawing things in Flash without it looking like it's drawn in Flash. At this point Matt identifies Mike's drawing as a piece of toast.
*They were again sidetracked by the continuing PictoChat conversation, pointing out a drawing of Mike saying "harrump" that somebody drew on the DS.
*Mike went on to clarify the process of making a new toon, that while Matt records the voices he will generally draw any new graphics that are needed for that email or cartoon. Once Matt is done recording, Mike is generally done with the graphics, they split up the scenes, work towards the middle, and finish up by 5 am Sunday night.

====What part of creating a toon is the most fun? - Green Shirt====
*Matt explains that early writing is always hard, sometimes throwing a baseball against a wall for hours on end with no good ideas. Then usually a walk around the "creepy depressing shopping mall" their offices are at and seeing a guy at the adult diaper store, gives them inspiration of what should happen in the toon. That initial flood of creativity is generally the most fun part of the animation process. He also mentions that not speaking for sometimes 18 hours straight with headphones on as they animate things such as the text and Strong Bad's head in a Strong Bad Email gets redundant at times, but they still enjoy it somewhat. He reiterates that the initial sparks of writing ideas are always the most fun. Sometimes in the last three hours of animating a cartoon, they will come up with something else and completely rewrite it.
*Matt also explains that there isn't a whole lot of quality control. They watch the toon a couple times, tweak small parts and cut out others, and then put it right up on the website. Generally they finish the day they should be uploading the toon.
*At this point Mike chips in that he enjoys drawing toast more, as he puts the finishing touches on his toast graphic. Matt comments on the toast, that it looks a bit thin, like [[Wikipedia:Pepperidge Farm|Pepperidge Farm]] toast. Mike mentions that sometimes he'll spend hours just tweaking graphics, likening it to "peeling dried glue off the nub of a thing of glue", describing it as "very therapeutic". Mike mentions that "no one would ever be able to see this", and Matt suggests "Somebody... I don't know, maybe you should look at the..."

====The Homestar Runner Wiki====
*'''Matt:''' That's another thing, is that when we're animating, um, we have another resource that we have absolutely nothing to do with, something that's totally fan driven, it's awesome, the Homestar Runner Wiki, uh, that appeared, one day, and it's so exhaustive, it's wonderful. Mike and I, like we don't—we never figured out what the hell a shared library is or how to use it and so we will go, uh, you know "this one has Strong Bad sitting on a couch," so we have be like, "all right, which one has him on a couch," and we'd have to go back and figure it out, but now we have the Homestar Wiki and we just go on and write "couch" or "orange couch" and it brings up like five emails that have Strong Bad on [[the couch]]. ''{audience laughter}'' And so, it's pretty great. It's very, very, uh, it's extremely all-inclusive and sometimes scary. There are pictures of friends that we had never seen on there and they're like, ''{imitates wiki user voice}'' "Oh, and this is their best friend!" ''{slight pause, now with a questioning tone}'' How, did you—are these people in our house taking pictures of our friends?

===Music and Video - 4:25 p.m.===
At this point Mike takes stock of the time, and mentions another factor that adds to the time needed to create an email, the music.
*Almost every cartoon has one piece of original music, which is usually done in either [[Wikipedia:Adobe Audition|Audition]] or [[Wikipedia:GarageBand|GarageBand]], often with their Casio keyboard.
*At this point Mike finishes drawing his piece of toast, mentioning that this is usually at four in the morning when Mike finishes his graphic.
*Matt mentions that they also have puppet versions of some of their characters, which they sometimes do small skits or musical things with. They generally try to keep the videos short, put them into a tiny window, and compress them using a newer version of Flash. They try to keep their files at around one megabyte, which helps to keep their bandwidth costs consistent. They also demonstrated their compressed video files, by showing a clip of [[death metal]]: "the half hour death metal dungeon hour".
*Mike mentioned that Matt is an award winning stop motion claymation animator, from a [[1987]] international media festival in 7th grade. Matt clarified that they may have been stretching on it being international; that one kid maybe having an aunt from Canada was as international as it got.
*Matt also mentioned that doing stuff like the death metal hour, putting on dumb heavy metal wigs and speaking in Swedish accents, helps them branch out.
*They also mentioned the DVDs, how they came from fan demand of people wanting to watch them on a larger screen or over at a friend's house, and not limited to a computer. They use Flash AM's SWF to AVI to convert to the DVD, without having to worry about any formatting. Then they extrapolate the frame rate to twentynine-nine or whatever the video standard is, and hand it over to [[Ryan Sterritt]] to finish up with the DVD magic.
*Mike mentions that they made the decision to hire their friend Ryan, make him learn the Flash-to-broadcast conversion, having somebody in house who can do all stuff keeps them from having to go to somebody outside and being charged an arm and a leg.

===Games - 4:30 p.m.===
[[Image:Flashforward Stinkoman Level.PNG|thumb|TBC's sample 20X6 level]]
*Mike also began talking about the games on the site, in particular [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. He described how he used to just get a Flash book, find a sample of a Flash game, and just change the graphics, which resulted in ''really crappy'' Flash-based games.
*Eventually they were contacted by [[Jonathan Howe]] from [[Wikipedia:Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]] via email, who said, "Hey, I noticed that your games suck. I like your website, and I would like to make your games better". After showing them some samples, they decided to collaborate with him on [[TROGDOR!]], and subsequently several other games.
*They talked in detail about Stinkoman 20X6, which is a [[Wikipedia:Mega Man|Mega Man]] type game based on the character of [[Stinkoman]]. They wanted to have a lot of input in the game without having to stand over Jonathan's shoulder, and finally got him to make a level editor for them using Flash. They demonstrated this by creating the pictured level.
:*Demonstrated choosing character.
:*Made ground and platform.
:*Added [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#chorch|Chorch]] (at Mike's suggestion).
:*Added [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#stobat|Stobat]], the large bone-throwing chicken.
:*Added ladder (also at Mike's suggestion).
*As Matt booted up the level, Mike explained that they made most of the graphics for the games pixely in [[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Photoshop]], then import them into Flash, as there isn't a way to create pixely graphics in Flash that they know of.
*Matt then proceeded to demonstrate the game by playing the level, easily defeating the Chorch (which was stuck in place) and Stobat, and exploring to the edge of the map.
*'''Mike:''' What's up that ladder?
*'''Matt:''' I dunno Mike, let's find out.
*They explained that for the early games they would have to send them back and forth, with Jonathan changing things with his action script magic, their critiquing it, Jonathan changing more things, etc. Matt also mentioned that with Jonathan's object library with all the level elements, his action script, and his XML files, it's way more technical than what they know.
*At this point Mike added that the orange stretch bracelets that come with the admission package to Flashforward smell really funny, and almost knocked him out. After that, they invited the audience to ask any more questions.

===More Questions & Answers - 4:35 p.m.===
====Did you do the 3D menus on the DVDs yourself?====
*The answer is a strong ''no''. They were contacted by some people who work for a company called "[http://www.uvphactory.com/index.php UV Phactory]" in [[Wikipedia:New York City|New York]], who sent them a short sample of something they did with Homestar and Strong Bad in 3D. The Brothers Chaps decided to hire them for the DVD menus, and sent them a Flash animation of what they wanted to happen.

====Can you play the cartoon you made for the Flashforward conference?====
*They agreed, and after some technical difficulties, showed the [[Flashforward]] toon.
*After the toon they explained that the PowerPoint slides shown in the toon was based on Mike's old job at [http://www.decisionquest.com/ Decision Quest] (which sounds like a magical place, but really isn't), as he made pie charts and graphs, and tried to make them fun. Matt related an anecdote where Mike had to make a chart based on Lady Justice with the scales. Mike had one side of the scales hold words like "Justice: Good thing. Family"; and the other side with things like "Evil, breaking the law, etc". Apparently a lawyer really used this visual aid in his case.

====Where do you see yourself in five years?====
*They mentioned that they would like to return to [[Wikipedia:Seattle, Washington|Seattle]] eventually, or see the [[Wikipedia:Grand Canyon|Grand Canyon]]. Five years ago they would never have guessed they would be doing Homestar Runner for a living, and they explained that they don't usually look too far ahead into the future. Matt offered the insight that "Having no plan and low expectations always makes the future look brighter". They don't usually look further ahead than the following Monday, with the exception of the [[Games]] which take several months of preparation; and Homestar Runner's 10th anniversary, which was coming up in around 6 months from then, in August of 2006.
*Matt also mentioned that while doing Homestar Runner, they have met many cool people from the Flash and entertainment industries. He noted that they had received an email from somebody asking if they wanted to direct a commercial of some kind. He wasn't sure if it was a car lot or something, but remarked that a local car lot would be even better. Matt has been to film school, and they've both grown up making dumb movies, so they have other ideas they might explore one day. Mike clarified that they might still be doing Homestar with other stuff mixed in in the future.

====A question about the Podcasts. - Red Toque====
*Mike explained that a few weeks ago they began a feature called [[Podstar Runner]], putting five or six Strong Bad Emails up for download to your [[Wikipedia:IPod#Fifth generation|video iPod]]. He mentioned that [[Wikipedia:Apple Computer|Apple]] linked to them, and they even went to number one download at one point. However in making the download available for the iPod, the files become way bigger, from 1 Megabyte to upwards of 10 Megabytes. Yesterday they had taken down the backlog of downloads and only make them available one at a time in order to keep their bandwidths cost steady while they figure out if there is an alternative to the high bandwidth cost.
*Matt added that being on the iPod store seems like good exposure in terms of getting new fans, but they have to first see if those people are buying T-shirts or not, and if they can justify paying that much for bandwidth. Matt was also surprised that they managed to beat [[Wikipedia:The Onion|The Onion]] and [[Wikipedia:The Ricky Gervais Show|The Ricky Gervais Show]], which he never thought they would do, and which was pretty awesome. They asked offhand if anyone had any bright ideas or free bandwidth to throw their way. An audience member called out asking if they would be around afterwards, they replied that they would if free bandwidth would be around.
*Mike related a funny story related to bandwidth. In January of 2003 the site actually [[The System is Down|shut down]] due to bandwidth issues. For three years previous they had been on [[Wikipedia:Yahoo!|Yahoo!]] shared hosting for $30 a month, and supposedly never went over their 20 [[Wikipedia:Gigabyte|gigabyte]] bandwidth limit. Eventually they realized they were doing several [[Wikipedia:Terabyte|terabytes]] of transfer, and still just being charged $30 a month. As it turned out, some people at Yahoo were fans and were just letting it slide. After their site went down, some fans contacted them and offered them bandwidth services. They shopped around, and realized these people were offering around $1 less per Gigabyte of transfer than anywhere else.

====Who are the bandwidth providers?====
*They're called [http://www.sagonet.com/ Sagonet], and they're based out of [[Wikipedia:Tampa Bay|Tampa Bay]], [[Wikipedia:Florida|Florida]]. They're a small outfit, but they can be called at 3:00 in the morning on Sunday with a problem, and they will fix it. The company bought an old Haverdeen ''[ed. actually an old "Roberds" Furniture Store, see [http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showpost.php?p=2060650&postcount=27]]'' down there, painted it green, and put a data center inside . Matt remarked that this setup goes along perfectly with The Brothers Chaps' working in a depressing shopping center.

====Why do people love your site and characters so much? - Rainbow Toque====
*Mike explained that was a hard question to answer. They mentioned several possible reasons: It's funny stuff, good quality, free, without ads, and without affiliations to other things. Matt added that they've always just tried to do what they think is funny, and what their friends think is funny. They often ask if [[Craig Zobel|Craig]] thinks it's funny, and if he does they put it on there. As it turns out, it seems the fans are all like Craig.
*There were times they would consider trying to please the fans more consciously, and they would always back off from that, since concentrating on fan demand can mess it up. They mentioned that they often get emails from the younger fans when they make the [[Old-Timey]] cartoons, not to make them anymore. They mentally respond with "well, Craig likes them".
*They mentioned that they were at a local Seattle diner the other day, and on the ceiling of the booth next to them they noticed a spiral pinwheel of [[Trogdor]]'s beefy arms printed out and glued to the ceiling. Matt suggested offhand that they should have gone to a tattoo parlor and gotten tattoos of spiral Trogdor beefy arms.
*Matt also mentioned that they have a [[Weekly Fanstuff|fanstuff]] section of the website where they put up things people send to them. They originally assumed the flow of fanstuff would taper off, but they still get things from fans, which is really cool.
*Mike changed the subject to what ''isn't fun'': having to animate the text and Strong Bad's head wiggling around at the start of the Strong Bad Email. It's all done in movie clips, which means they have to individually go into each one. The "bane of their existence" is sitting there for four hours at 3:00 in the morning on Sunday, making Strong Bad's head shake around.
*Matt mentioned that they actually talked to Jonathan Howe about making Flash look at and talk to a wave form, so that when his voice peaked his head would move up so that they could totally automate that part of the email and cut straight to the regular part of the animation. He didn't have any luck thus far, but Matt mentioned that would be one of their suggestions for the next Flash version. Mike mentioned sarcastically that they should look into Flex or Apollo, then realized that not many people knew what those things were. He also mentioned that he knew he was out of his league, but he didn't know just how far out of his league until the Keynote address.

====What's your favorite cartoon?====
*Mike mentioned that his favorite toon was [[kids' book]], which was fun for them to make their own kids' book, and then draw all over it. A lot of the toons he likes are the ones that were fun to make; he also mentioned he liked the [[death metal]] stop animation movie, just because they were able to make a death metal song.
*Matt mentioned that his favorite toon was [[personal favorites]], since it starts to look as though it's going to be a clip show, until Strong Bad begins making up emails that didn't happen. It created all this confusion with people emailing them about where these shown emails are, and Matt mentioned that he loved the confusion it caused. Mike chipped in that by asking "where is the email where they get drunk on soy sauce", you're missing the joke.

====Can you entertain the audience with a conversation between the characters?====
*Matt replied with a conversation between Homestar and Strong Bad:
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, what are we doing in this room?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know, I'm not in this room. I'm in the lounge with all these... women.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ummm, I need, where is the cream soda anyways around here? I need some cream soda, and some other stuff.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, well I need, um... Somewhere to get my laptop working again. You guys, does anybody know that Mike right now, we didn't even tell people this. Underneath Mike's laptop, he's got the door to his RAM opened up, and a piece of notebook paper folded up to push it into the slot, because it wouldn't work? That's the only reason Mike's crappy laptop is working, and you think I'm bad with the electronics.
*Mike explains that the day before his computer stopped working, and he was freaking out that he wouldn't have his laptop for the presentation. He eventually realized if he held the RAM, pushing it in as he booted up, it would work. So he crammed a folded up 8x10 piece of paper in there, and it works. He explained that was the kind of stuff that went on with them, and also surmised that he would keep it like that for like three months before he would get it fixed.

====Do you have any new characters coming on the horizon?====
*Mike answered that for main characters, no. Any new characters that are created such as Trogdor and Teen Girl Squad are created spur of the moment for that instance. The main core is made up of 12 main characters, and will not likely be added to. Their conscious decision was to make offshoot type things, instead of making it like [[Wikipedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]], where there's a zillion characters. Two of the main characters, [[The Poopsmith]] and [[Homsar]] were not originally main characters, but rose to become main characters early on, and they will likely never add to that.

====Do you find any international people coming to the site? - Yellow Hat====
*There are mainly English speaking fans, [[Wikipedia:Australia|Australia]], [[Wikipedia:Canada|Canada]], the [[Wikipedia:United Kingdom|UK]], and [[Wikipedia:Scandinavia|Scandinavia]] because a large majority there speak English.
*Matt mentioned that there is a SWF that somebody made which allows subtitles to easily be added to Flash. He mentioned that they have considered using this for [[Spanish]] or Korean translations, though Mike remarked he didn't remember a discussion.
*Matt also mentioned they were blown away the first time they got an email or an order from "[[Wikipedia:United Kingdom|across the pond]]", they were amazed they had even heard of them.

====Do you have a favorite character to write or record for?====
*Matt replied that he likes good old Homestar Runner (as he stroked the Puppet Homestar), as his voice is easily done consistently. He mentioned that [[Bubs]]'s voice is hard to keep consistent and quite right, how he will often record five or six takes for Bubs's line, and then pick the best one, despite Mike telling him they all sound the same.
*Mike replied that he also likes Homestar for animating. He's easy to animate, since he only has three animation symbols, and this in turn makes it easier to make him expressive. Mike also has sympathy for Homestar, since the website used to be about him, but he's become sort of the underdog to Strong Bad, and is trying to get his website back any way he can.

====What has kept you from getting a big staff?====
*They explained that the staff is basically four people. The two of them who makes the cartoon, their video guy [[Ryan Sterritt|Ryan]] who does the DVDs and video encoding, and [[Karen Wagner|their sister]] who runs the store. Their biggest reason for keeping the company small is because they don't ''want'' a big staff. A few years ago they might have hired an animator, since animating for eight hours straight at a time was becoming tedious. But they decided against it, and now hiring an animator would just be weird.
*Matt noted that one of the reasons they've been able to do the site for a living is because they've kept it small, and reiterated his advice of "expectations, keep 'em down. Ankle level." The more people you bring in, business type people, they feel it gets bloated and you lose something from the site.

====How did you create the toys?====
*Again, it fell into their laps from a fan who emailed them. He had mocked up little PVC [[Store#Collectible Figurines|figurines]] of the characters, and had all the contacts in China. He flew them up to his studio in New York, showed them the figurines, some factory did pretty much all the work, and all they did was say "hey, looks great". The same thing happened with The Cheat [[Store_Toys#Kick The Cheat|plush doll]]. According to Mike, it would never have happened if they had set out to make toys. Matt offered the advice to "wait until everything falls into your lap".
*At this point, their laptop timed out and went to screensaver, which displayed the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|Strong Bad Screensaver]] for a second, until they bumped the laptop.

====How many Easter egg toons are there, that are not linked to from anywhere on the site?====
*Mike clarified what the person was referring to: [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]. He explained that going to <code>/sbemail100.html</code> was a fakeout, and would instead take you to a short toon. Since the [[:Template:updates-box|H*R.com update]] is usually on Monday, they put this toon up on the site instead, for those that would look in the url before it was linked. They released the [[flashback|100th email]] the next day. That was the only time they've made a toon that you have to get to from outside the toons; to say, "stop looking, stop goofing around, and when it's done it'll be done."
*Matt commented that he's always wanted to do a [[Wikipedia:Alternate reality game|crazy marketing campaign]] like [[Wikipedia:Haunted Apiary|the one]] they did for [[Wikipedia:Halo 2|Halo 2]] and [[Wikipedia:The Beast (game)|the one]] for [[Wikipedia:A.I. (film)|A.I.]], where there would be a network of 1000 websites, secret links, and they'd call your mobile phone, and finally he'd end up coming to your house and giving you a cookie cake.
*After taking stock of how much time they had left (three minutes), they opened the floor to more questions.

====Was the CD you released your personal choice, or fan demand?====
*Mike explained that [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] was their own choice, they had several bits and pieces of songs, and they wanted full, fleshed out versions of many of them. [[Y-O-U]], who were fans of Homestar Runner had emailed them, said that they had just moved to Atlanta, digged their work, and wanted to do something with them. Mike went out and saw their band, met them, and decided to collaborate with them. The collaboration worked well, in addition to being good musicians they had good ideas, and the Chaps went along with most of them. They also commented that they have since built up another collection of [[Songs]], would like to make another CD of full versions, and it was good to know that fans still wanted them.

====How does Craig get compensated?====
*Matt explained that [[Craig Zobel]] is a shareholder; he was the one that helped Mike write the [[Original Book]]. They describe him as a "billionaire gadabout", and whenever he's in town they put him to work.

====How did you come up with the name "Homestar Runner"?====
*The name Homestar Runner came from their friend Jamie, who is not very sports savvy. There was a local commercial for [[Wikipedia:Winn-Dixie|Winn-Dixie]] grocery stores, and [[LEMKE|Mark Lemke]], who was a second basemen for the Atlanta Braves at that time, endorsed the commercial. They would play a clip of Lemke doing something, and the announcer would say something like "Mark Lemke, all star second baseman for the Braves, and you can be a second baseman for savings, at Winn-Dixie". It sounded like an old-timey announcer, so their friend Jamie would make fun of that terrible ad, and say "Mark Lemke, home star runner for the braves!". Matt mentioned they liked the name "The Homestar Runner", and sort of 'filed that away'. Incidentally, Jamie doesn't get compensated since he's in a rock band, and gets "all kinds of action".

====When was the moment you knew it was time to quit the day job and do Homestar full time?====
*Mike explained that at the time he had been doing freelance work, so it was really only Matt who had to quit his job. Their [[Don and Harriet Chapman|dad]] was running everything, and was doing all of the t-shirt sales, and had been hinting for at least six months prior that if they got two or three freelance jobs every few months, they would be able to live off of the sales. Matt described quitting his job as a sort of "leap off a cliff", not knowing if they would be able to do it full time. A little while later they started selling [[Store#Hooded Sweatshirts|hooded sweatshirts]], college got back in session, and sales ramped up to a point where they felt safe.
*Matt mused that he wouldn't mind going back to being a "starving artist for Homestar Runner", eating cold pizza, and all that, just for EarthLink.

===Ending - 5:00 p.m.===
They asked the crowd if there were any more questions, thanked the audience, and ended right on time.

==After the presentation==
[[Image:Flashforward TBC.JPG|thumb|Taken in the lobby during the autograph session]]
[[Image:Flashforward Autograph.PNG|left|thumb|An autograph to Thunderbird]]
After the presentation had ended, they signed autographs for around 15 minutes up at the stage, usually spending a few minutes with each fan. By 5:15 the next speaker was ready to go on, so they packed up their equipment and went out to the lobby. The remaining fans followed them out, and they finished signing autographs and meeting fans out there.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*The Brothers Chaps were originally also going to appear at the next Flashforward event, in September 2006 in Austin. In early April however, they informed the officials that due to prior commitments they would be unable to attend.

[[Image:Flashforward 2006 Seattle logo.PNG|thumb|300px|Flashforward 2006 Seattle Logo]]

From the Flashforward web site:

<blockquote>Take a step back in time as Mike and Matt Chapman show how they still use Flash® 5 to make the weekly cartoons featured on HomestarRunner.com. Learn the secrets and not-so-secrets of making a 3-5 minute cartoon every week. Hear about their six years on the web, watch some of their stuff, and learn how they've managed to make a living doing something they like.</blockquote>

[[The Brothers Chaps]] appeared at '''Flashforward 2006,''' a conference for Flash designers and developers, on February 28, 2006, in Seattle, Washington. They conducted a session called "How and Why [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] Cartoons Get Made" in Room 6B from 3:45 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. HRWiki user and [[HRWiki:Sysops|sysop]] [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird L17]] was generously given a media pass from the people at Flashforward to cover the event on behalf of the wiki.

==The Presentation==
<noinclude>{{uncensored|Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006 (censored)}}</noinclude>
===Introductions - 3:45 p.m.===

[[Image:Flashforward Convention.JPG|thumb|The presentation]]The presentation was hosted by [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] and [[Matt Chapman]]. While booting up their laptop, one could glimpse "3726 unread emails" on Matt's user profile. After setting up and introducing themselves, they announced that they had each brought a [[Wikipedia:Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]], and had started a [[Wikipedia:PictoChat|PictoChat]] which they would carry on intermittently throughout the presentation. Before long two members of the audience had joined the conversation. Matt then showed what he had been working on during the keynote address: A humorous sketch of Mike and two gorillas. After explaining that they were Flash animators for their website, [[homestarrunner.com]], they showed a sample of their work: [[virus]].

===Early History - 3:50 p.m.===

First they began with the site history, showing the early progression of the site.
*Stills from the [[Original Book]], and related the history of making the book during the Olympics of August 1996.
*A clip from the next thing they had made, the toon [[Super NES]] using [[Wikipedia:Mario Paint|Mario Paint]] on the SNES system.
*A clip of a toon they made to teach themselves Flash: [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]. They froze this clip and pointed out various animation problems, such as the jagged edges and inconsistent colors.
*A clip from the beginning of [[The Luau]]; from 2001. Mike commented on stealing the lens flare idea from ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'', and pointed out the bottom edge of the cube of Tofu disappearing early.
*In late 2001 they started the [[Strong Bad Emails]], along with the original intention of replying to every email in character, and animating a select email each week. That plan was quickly abandoned, but they did decide to start making a Strong Bad Email weekly around January 2002. They then showed a favorite clip of theirs, the love song from [[montage]]. They generally consider early 2002 being the point where their animation reached a "style plateau".

===Samples of Styles - 3:55 p.m.===

They went on to relate how the website is kept creatively interesting, through various animation styles. They showed stills from the different styles, namely:
*[[Teen Girl Squad]] - A badly drawn comic book about four teenage girls.
*The [[Cheat Commandos]] - A play on [[Wikipedia:G.I. Joe|G.I. Joe]] and [[Wikipedia:Transformers|Transformers]], with [[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Photoshopped]], grainy backgrounds and hairline strokes around the characters.
*[[20X6]] - The [[Wikipedia:anime|anime]] version of [[Strong Bad]], akin to a [[Wikipedia:Speed Racer|Speed Racer]] or [[Wikipedia:Robotech|Robotech]] style.
*[[Old-Timey]] - Their earliest alternate style, which was originally intended to make a fake mythology for the site. This was described as a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Steamboat Willie|Steamboat Willie]], from 1933.
*[[Saddy Dumpington]] - A character [[Strong Sad]] made up, drawn in a watercolor style.
Because they are self-employed and thus don't answer to a boss, creatively they are able to do really whatever they want, such as a "bad heavy metal song"; they can do it and call it Homestar Runner.

===More History, The Store, and Related Topics - 4:00 p.m.===

They then returned to their history of the website, starting in 2001.
*In 2001 they began selling [[Store T-Shirts|T-shirts]].
*In August of 2003 Matt quit his job at EarthLink, and began working on the site full time. Earlier Matt had gone on the EarthLink website, and found a page that still featured many of his images he had made for the company, such as a calculator and a wad of money.
They also mentioned the [[Store]], and how they sell products such as CDs, DVDs, Figurines and T-shirts. They try to keep the store a separate entity, without ramming it down visitors' throats. They recalled, with distaste, sites that would play an ad to buy some crap, and another ad after that would link you directly to the store. Their method of building their business ended up building a fan base first out of their own pocket, and then introducing merchandise, which they admit isn't traditionally a good business model. They mentioned that they now live in different houses, with wives, instead of in their parents' basement, as some may believe. They showed a still from the [[Pulse Interview - May 2004|2004 Pulse Interview]]; which was them pixelated wearing fake mustaches, posing as the [[Videlectrix]] programmers. They also mentioned that they still do all of their animation in Flash 5, and began relating the process of creating a cartoon.

===Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.===

After being momentarily distracted by the continuing Nintendo DS chatroom, they began relating the process of creating a cartoon ("which will just {{{swear|piss}}} you off even more that this is what we do for a living"). When they first started creating weekly cartoons they both still had full time jobs, and therefore created the entire cartoons sometimes after watching the Falcons game in its entirety at 2:00 pm Sunday afternoon. Nowadays a typical four minute cartoon takes the entire week, with animation taking place during the last three or four days.
*Mondays or Tuesdays they begin looking through submitted Strong Bad emails; it sometimes takes four or five hours to find a usable email. They also showcased 5 different groups of emails that would most likely not be answered:
**[[How do you type with boxing gloves on?]]
**What do you look like without your mask?
**What do your [[parents]] look like?
**Redoing a favorite email, usually [[Draw Trogdor Again|redrawing a dragon]].
**Referencing current events. In this case they showcased emails concerning the Olympics, but they also mentioned that emails regarding [[Wikipedia:Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]], [[Wikipedia:The Matrix series|The Matrix]], and [[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|The Lord of the Rings]] were common during their respective releases.
*They then demonstrated their brainstorming process using two small foam balls. Matt lay on the floor and threw a half-size basketball up in the air, suggesting, "So Strong Bad's going to be in like a [[Cardboard Boxes|box]], a cardboard box. That The Cheat peed in." Mike agreed with him throughout this ("Okay, okay, I like it"), then threw his foam baseball at him. They also mentioned that they have been in [[Office of The Brothers Chaps|their office]] for around two years, and vacuumed it for the first time three weeks ago, so lying on the floor is much nicer now.
*In addition to brainstorming, they also wander around their neighborhood (and the depressing adult diaper and hearing aid stores found in the strip mall their offices are in) searching for inspiration.
*After they have an idea of what the cartoon will be about, they usually write separately. After their writing is done they will compare their scripts, and merge them using the best ideas. According to Mike, his writing is usually better. They once again referred to their continuing Nintendo DS conversation, saying that one person said they were giving "too much info".
*Next is recording the sound, which is done using a fairly soundproof sound room and an audio mobile USB pre-amp with an XLR mic running into it. It used to be Matt just sitting at the computer holding an old Super H film microphone or something, never a system mic. This resulted in numerous background noises, such as Matt's hand moving around, the hum of the computer fan, or Mike doing dishes in the background. In the later days Matt draped a blanket over his head and the mic to minimize background noises.

===Animation Process - 4:10 pm===

*Matt mentioned a little intro cartoon that they made for "the Festival"; Mike corrected that it was a convention (festivals are more fun). They showed a still of the end of the intro toon, and explained Easter eggs, and how they are the extent of the action script that they use. According to Matt: "So we made a little intro, so anyways we're gonna put on the site, uh, later on this week..." The intro never appeared on the website, but instead was included on the [[Everything Else, Volume 2]] DVD. Then they began to demonstrate the animation process, by adding what they described as an [[Easter eggs|Easter egg]] to the end of the finished toon (on the released DVD version it is simply an extension of the original toon).
**The scene is Homestar Runner and Strong Bad crouched down behind a podium labeled "Podium Excellens". Homestar says to Strong Bad "Strong Bad, I think the elevator's broke."
*[[Image:Flashforward Desktop.JPG|thumb|Matt Chapman's Desktop]]They began by recording the line using the old method of Matt wearing a blanket over his head, and speaking Homestar's line into the mic. Matt also pointed out his laptop's background, which is a screenshot of the [http://www.sq7.org/omnipedia/index.php/Deltaur Deltaur] from [[Wikipedia:Space Quest I: The Sarien Encounter|Space Quest I]], another 1980s era video game.
*After revealing that he doesn't label any of his Flash layers, Mike demonstrated lip-syncing the toon. Mike first mixes up Homestar and Strong Bad, then clarifies that ''Homestar's head'' is 3 frames, which gives three different facial expressions to work with. Mike would layer the sound down first, then click on various points of the audio. In Flash 5, this plays a microsecond of the audio, which gives them an indication of what mouth layer to cut and paste into that point. This is one of the reasons they continue to use Flash 5. At least MX 04 does not play a short sound from the point in the audio. They did challenge anybody to make Flash 8 look and act exactly like Flash 5, and they would gladly switch over. Lip-syncing the entire scene only took a few minutes to complete.
*They also talked about the design of the characters, and how they are easy to animate. Although they didn't originally design their characters with animating in Flash in mind, they lucked out that many of their characters don't have arms or legs, and none of their characters are overly complex. That's just how they generally draw and design.
*They also talked about the technical aspects of their animation. They have always animated at 12 frames per second, in a 550 x 400 window, because both of those options were the Flash 5 defaults.
*They also demonstrated "doinking", by making Homestar flinch at certain stresses of the sentence.
*They demonstrated Strong Bad's Mask design, and how they can easily turn his head just by moving the mask and having it cut off at the edge of his head.
*They also briefly explained that they storyboard their toons, then opened the floor to audience questions.

===Graphics and the Wiki - 4:20 pm===
====Who does all the voices?====
:'''Matt:''' I doos all the voices. Except for [[Marzipan]], the girl character, which is Mike's wife [[Missy Palmer|Melissa]].
:'''Mike:''' Today's our second wedding anniversary, and I'm here.
:'''Matt:''' She's at home, and pregnant. ''{sarcastically}'' Husband of the year...
:'''Mike:''' I did remember to send her flowers.
*After that first question, Mike went on to talk about something he meant to cover earlier, their drawing. They draw everything in Flash, using drawing tools and a [[Wikipedia:Wacom|Wacom tablet]]. Mike first learned with [[Wikipedia:Adobe Illustrator|Adobe Illustrator]], and by the time Flash 5 came out Mike was comfortable using program drawing tools. They generally try to always break the lines apart, which doesn't leave a rounded edge and allows you to vary the line width. Mike began to demonstrate his artistic skills by drawing something in Flash 5.
*Mike carried on talking about early Flash animations, and how everything ''looked'' like it was drawn in Flash, with gradients everywhere, line tools running into each other, and for that reason they shied away from drawing stuff in Flash, either by tracing in bitmap or scanning it in. Nowadays they are comfortable enough with drawing things in Flash without it looking like it's drawn in Flash. At this point Matt identifies Mike's drawing as a piece of toast.
*They were again sidetracked by the continuing PictoChat conversation, pointing out a drawing of Mike saying "harrump" that somebody drew on the DS.
*Mike went on to clarify the process of making a new toon, that while Matt records the voices he will generally draw any new graphics that are needed for that email or cartoon. Once Matt is done recording, Mike is generally done with the graphics, they split up the scenes, work towards the middle, and finish up by 5 am Sunday night.

====What part of creating a toon is the most fun? - Green Shirt====
*Matt explains that early writing is always hard, sometimes throwing a baseball against a wall for hours on end with no good ideas. Then usually a walk around the "creepy depressing shopping mall" their offices are at and seeing a guy at the adult diaper store, gives them inspiration of what should happen in the toon. That initial flood of creativity is generally the most fun part of the animation process. He also mentions that not speaking for sometimes 18 hours straight with headphones on as they animate things such as the text and Strong Bad's head in a Strong Bad Email gets redundant at times, but they still enjoy it somewhat. He reiterates that the initial sparks of writing ideas are always the most fun. Sometimes in the last three hours of animating a cartoon, they will come up with something else and completely rewrite it.
*Matt also explains that there isn't a whole lot of quality control. They watch the toon a couple times, tweak small parts and cut out others, and then put it right up on the website. Generally they finish the day they should be uploading the toon.
*At this point Mike chips in that he enjoys drawing toast more, as he puts the finishing touches on his toast graphic. Matt comments on the toast, that it looks a bit thin, like [[Wikipedia:Pepperidge Farm|Pepperidge Farm]] toast. Mike mentions that sometimes he'll spend hours just tweaking graphics, likening it to "peeling dried glue off the nub of a thing of glue", describing it as "very therapeutic". Mike mentions that "no one would ever be able to see this", and Matt suggests "Somebody... I don't know, maybe you should look at the..."

====The Homestar Runner Wiki====
*'''Matt:''' That's another thing, is that when we're animating, um, we have another resource that we have absolutely nothing to do with, something that's totally fan driven, it's awesome, the Homestar Runner Wiki, uh, that appeared, one day, and it's so exhaustive, it's wonderful. Mike and I, like we don't—we never figured out what the hell a shared library is or how to use it and so we will go, uh, you know "this one has Strong Bad sitting on a couch," so we have be like, "all right, which one has him on a couch," and we'd have to go back and figure it out, but now we have the Homestar Wiki and we just go on and write "couch" or "orange couch" and it brings up like five emails that have Strong Bad on [[the couch]]. ''{audience laughter}'' And so, it's pretty great. It's very, very, uh, it's extremely all-inclusive and sometimes scary. There are pictures of friends that we had never seen on there and they're like, ''{imitates wiki user voice}'' "Oh, and this is their best friend!" ''{slight pause, now with a questioning tone}'' How, did you—are these people in our house taking pictures of our friends?

===Music and Video - 4:25 pm===
At this point Mike takes stock of the time, and mentions another factor that adds to the time needed to create an email, the music.
*Almost every cartoon has one piece of original music, which is usually done in either [[Wikipedia:Adobe Audition|Audition]] or [[Wikipedia:GarageBand|GarageBand]], often with their Casio keyboard.
*At this point Mike finishes drawing his piece of toast, mentioning that this is usually at four in the morning when Mike finishes his graphic.
*Matt mentions that they also have puppet versions of some of their characters, which they sometimes do small skits or musical things with. They generally try to keep the videos short, put them into a tiny window, and compress them using a newer version of Flash. They try to keep their files at around one megabyte, which helps to keep their bandwidth costs consistent. They also demonstrated their compressed video files, by showing a clip of [[death metal]]: "the half hour death metal dungeon hour".
*Mike mentioned that Matt is an award winning stop motion claymation animator, from a [[1987]] international media festival in 7th grade. Matt clarified that they may have been stretching on it being international; that one kid maybe having an aunt from Canada was as international as it got.
*Matt also mentioned that doing stuff like the death metal hour, putting on dumb heavy metal wigs and speaking in Swedish accents, helps them branch out.
*They also mentioned the DVDs, how they came from fan demand of people wanting to watch them on a larger screen or over at a friend's house, and not limited to a computer. They use Flash AM's SWF to AVI to convert to the DVD, without having to worry about any formatting. Then they extrapolate the frame rate to twentynine-nine or whatever the video standard is, and hand it over to [[Ryan Sterritt]] to finish up with the DVD magic.
*Mike mentions that they made the decision to hire their friend Ryan, make him learn the Flash-to-broadcast conversion, having somebody in house who can do all stuff keeps them from having to go to somebody outside and being charged an arm and a leg.

===Games - 4:30 pm===
[[Image:Flashforward Stinkoman Level.PNG|thumb|TBC's sample 20X6 level]]
*Mike also began talking about the games on the site, in particular [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. He described how he used to just get a Flash book, find a sample of a Flash game, and just change the graphics, which resulted in ''really crappy'' Flash-based games.
*Eventually they were contacted by [[Jonathan Howe]] from [[Wikipedia:Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]] via email, who said, "Hey, I noticed that your games suck. I like your website, and I would like to make your games better". After showing them some samples, they decided to collaborate with him on [[TROGDOR!]], and subsequently several other games.
*They talked in detail about Stinkoman 20X6, which is a [[Wikipedia:Mega Man|Mega Man]] type game based on the character of [[Stinkoman]]. They wanted to have a lot of input in the game without having to stand over Jonathan's shoulder, and finally got him to make a level editor for them using Flash. They demonstrated this by creating the pictured level.
:*Demonstrated choosing character.
:*Made ground and platform.
:*Added [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#chorch|Chorch]] (at Mike's suggestion).
:*Added [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#stobat|Stobat]], the large bone-throwing chicken.
:*Added ladder (also at Mike's suggestion).
*As Matt booted up the level, Mike explained that they made most of the graphics for the games pixely in [[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Photoshop]], then import them into Flash, as there isn't a way to create pixely graphics in Flash that they know of.
*Matt then proceeded to demonstrate the game by playing the level, easily defeating the Chorch (which was stuck in place) and Stobat, and exploring to the edge of the map.
*'''Mike:''' What's up that ladder?
*'''Matt:''' I dunno Mike, let's find out.
*They explained that for the early games they would have to send them back and forth, with Jonathan changing things with his action script magic, their critiquing it, Jonathan changing more things, etc. Matt also mentioned that with Jonathan's object library with all the level elements, his action script, and his XML files, it's way more technical than what they know.
*At this point Mike added that the orange stretch bracelets that come with the admission package to Flashforward smell really funny, and almost knocked him out. After that, they invited the audience to ask any more questions.

===More Questions & Answers - 4:35 pm===
====Did you do the 3D menus on the DVDs yourself?====
*The answer is a strong ''no''. They were contacted by some people who work for a company called "[http://www.uvphactory.com/index.php UV Phactory]" in [[Wikipedia:New York City|New York]], who sent them a short sample of something they did with Homestar and Strong Bad in 3D. The Brothers Chaps decided to hire them for the DVD menus, and sent them a Flash animation of what they wanted to happen.

====Can you play the cartoon you made for the Flashforward conference?====
*They agreed, and after some technical difficulties, showed the [[Flashforward]] toon.
*After the toon they explained that the PowerPoint slides shown in the toon was based on Mike's old job at [http://www.decisionquest.com/ Decision Quest] (which sounds like a magical place, but really isn't), as he made pie charts and graphs, and tried to make them fun. Matt related an anecdote where Mike had to make a chart based on Lady Justice with the scales. Mike had one side of the scales hold words like "Justice: Good thing. Family"; and the other side with things like "Evil, breaking the law, etc". Apparently a lawyer really used this visual aid in his case.

====Where do you see yourself in five years?====
*They mentioned that they would like to return to [[Wikipedia:Seattle, Washington|Seattle]] eventually, or see the [[Wikipedia:Grand Canyon|Grand Canyon]]. Five years ago they would never have guessed they would be doing Homestar Runner for a living, and they explained that they don't usually look too far ahead into the future. Matt offered the insight that "Having no plan and low expectations always makes the future look brighter". They don't usually look further ahead than the following Monday, with the exception of the [[Games]] which take several months of preparation; and Homestar Runner's 10th anniversary, which was coming up in around 6 months from then, in August of 2006.
*Matt also mentioned that while doing Homestar Runner, they have met many cool people from the Flash and entertainment industries. He noted that they had received an email from somebody asking if they wanted to direct a commercial of some kind. He wasn't sure if it was a car lot or something, but remarked that a local car lot would be even better. Matt has been to film school, and they've both grown up making dumb movies, so they have other ideas they might explore one day. Mike clarified that they might still be doing Homestar with other stuff mixed in in the future.

====A question about the Podcasts. - Red Toque====
*Mike explained that a few weeks ago they began a feature called [[Podstar Runner]], putting five or six Strong Bad Emails up for download to your [[Wikipedia:IPod#Fifth generation|video iPod]]. He mentioned that [[Wikipedia:Apple Computer|Apple]] linked to them, and they even went to number one download at one point. However in making the download available for the iPod, the files become way bigger, from 1 Megabyte to upwards of 10 Megabytes. Yesterday they had taken down the backlog of downloads and only make them available one at a time in order to keep their bandwidths cost steady while they figure out if there is an alternative to the high bandwidth cost.
*Matt added that being on the iPod store seems like good exposure in terms of getting new fans, but they have to first see if those people are buying T-shirts or not, and if they can justify paying that much for bandwidth. Matt was also surprised that they managed to beat [[Wikipedia:The Onion|The Onion]] and [[Wikipedia:The Ricky Gervais Show|The Ricky Gervais Show]], which he never thought they would do, and which was pretty awesome. They asked offhand if anyone had any bright ideas or free bandwidth to throw their way. An audience member called out asking if they would be around afterwards, they replied that they would if free bandwidth would be around.
*Mike related a funny story related to bandwidth. In January of 2003 the site actually [[The System is Down|shut down]] due to bandwidth issues. For three years previous they had been on [[Wikipedia:Yahoo!|Yahoo!]] shared hosting for $30 a month, and supposedly never went over their 20 [[Wikipedia:Gigabyte|gigabyte]] bandwidth limit. Eventually they realized they were doing several [[Wikipedia:Terabyte|terabytes]] of transfer, and still just being charged $30 a month. As it turned out, some people at Yahoo were fans and were just letting it slide. After their site went down, some fans contacted them and offered them bandwidth services. They shopped around, and realized these people were offering around $1 less per Gigabyte of transfer than anywhere else.

====Who are the bandwidth providers?====
*They're called [http://www.sagonet.com/ Sagonet], and they're based out of [[Wikipedia:Tampa Bay|Tampa Bay]], [[Wikipedia:Florida|Florida]]. They're a small outfit, but they can be called at 3:00 in the morning on Sunday with a problem, and they will fix it. The company bought an old Haverdeen ''[ed. actually an old "Roberds" Furniture Store, see [http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showpost.php?p=2060650&postcount=27]]'' down there, painted it green, and put a data center inside . Matt remarked that this setup goes along perfectly with The Brothers Chaps' working in a depressing shopping center.

====Why do people love your site and characters so much? - Rainbow Toque====
*Mike explained that was a hard question to answer. They mentioned several possible reasons: It's funny stuff, good quality, free, without ads, and without affiliations to other things. Matt added that they've always just tried to do what they think is funny, and what their friends think is funny. They often ask if [[Craig Zobel|Craig]] thinks it's funny, and if he does they put it on there. As it turns out, it seems the fans are all like Craig.
*There were times they would consider trying to please the fans more consciously, and they would always back off from that, since concentrating on fan demand can mess it up. They mentioned that they often get emails from the younger fans when they make the [[Old-Timey]] cartoons, not to make them anymore. They mentally respond with "well, Craig likes them".
*They mentioned that they were at a local Seattle diner the other day, and on the ceiling of the booth next to them they noticed a spiral pinwheel of [[Trogdor]]'s beefy arms printed out and glued to the ceiling. Matt suggested offhand that they should have gone to a tattoo parlor and gotten tattoos of spiral Trogdor beefy arms.
*Matt also mentioned that they have a [[Weekly Fanstuff|fanstuff]] section of the website where they put up things people send to them. They originally assumed the flow of fanstuff would taper off, but they still get things from fans, which is really cool.
*Mike changed the subject to what ''isn't fun'': having to animate the text and Strong Bad's head wiggling around at the start of the Strong Bad Email. It's all done in movie clips, which means they have to individually go into each one. The "bane of their existence" is sitting there for four hours at 3:00 in the morning on Sunday, making Strong Bad's head shake around.
*Matt mentioned that they actually talked to Jonathan Howe about making Flash look at and talk to a wave form, so that when his voice peaked his head would move up so that they could totally automate that part of the email and cut straight to the regular part of the animation. He didn't have any luck thus far, but Matt mentioned that would be one of their suggestions for the next Flash version. Mike mentioned sarcastically that they should look into Flex or Apollo, then realized that not many people knew what those things were. He also mentioned that he knew he was out of his league, but he didn't know just how far out of his league until the Keynote address.

====What's your favorite cartoon?====
*Mike mentioned that his favorite toon was [[kids' book]], which was fun for them to make their own kids' book, and then draw all over it. A lot of the toons he likes are the ones that were fun to make; he also mentioned he liked the [[death metal]] stop animation movie, just because they were able to make a death metal song.
*Matt mentioned that his favorite toon was [[personal favorites]], since it starts to look as though it's going to be a clip show, until Strong Bad begins making up emails that didn't happen. It created all this confusion with people emailing them about where these shown emails are, and Matt mentioned that he loved the confusion it caused. Mike chipped in that by asking "where is the email where they get drunk on soy sauce", you're missing the joke.

====Can you entertain the audience with a conversation between the characters?====
*Matt replied with a conversation between Homestar and Strong Bad:
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, what are we doing in this room?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know, I'm not in this room. I'm in the lounge with all these... women.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ummm, I need, where is the cream soda anyways around here? I need some cream soda, and some other stuff.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, well I need, um... Somewhere to get my laptop working again. You guys, does anybody know that Mike right now, we didn't even tell people this. Underneath Mike's laptop, he's got the door to his RAM opened up, and a piece of notebook paper folded up to push it into the slot, because it wouldn't work? That's the only reason Mike's crappy laptop is working, and you think I'm bad with the electronics.
*Mike explains that the day before his computer stopped working, and he was freaking out that he wouldn't have his laptop for the presentation. He eventually realized if he held the RAM, pushing it in as he booted up, it would work. So he crammed a folded up 8x10 piece of paper in there, and it works. He explained that was the kind of stuff that went on with them, and also surmised that he would keep it like that for like three months before he would get it fixed.

====Do you have any new characters coming on the horizon?====
*Mike answered that for main characters, no. Any new characters that are created such as Trogdor and Teen Girl Squad are created spur of the moment for that instance. The main core is made up of 12 main characters, and will not likely be added to. Their conscious decision was to make offshoot type things, instead of making it like [[Wikipedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]], where there's a zillion characters. Two of the main characters, [[The Poopsmith]] and [[Homsar]] were not originally main characters, but rose to become main characters early on, and they will likely never add to that.

====Do you find any international people coming to the site? - Yellow Hat====
*There are mainly English speaking fans, [[Wikipedia:Australia|Australia]], [[Wikipedia:Canada|Canada]], the [[Wikipedia:United Kingdom|UK]], and [[Wikipedia:Scandinavia|Scandinavia]] because a large majority there speak English.
*Matt mentioned that there is a SWF that somebody made which allows subtitles to easily be added to Flash. He mentioned that they have considered using this for [[Spanish]] or Korean translations, though Mike remarked he didn't remember a discussion.
*Matt also mentioned they were blown away the first time they got an email or an order from "[[Wikipedia:United Kingdom|across the pond]]", they were amazed they had even heard of them.

====Do you have a favorite character to write or record for?====
*Matt replied that he likes good old Homestar Runner (as he stroked the Puppet Homestar), as his voice is easily done consistently. He mentioned that [[Bubs]]'s voice is hard to keep consistent and quite right, how he will often record five or six takes for Bubs's line, and then pick the best one, despite Mike telling him they all sound the same.
*Mike replied that he also likes Homestar for animating. He's easy to animate, since he only has three animation symbols, and this in turn makes it easier to make him expressive. Mike also has sympathy for Homestar, since the website used to be about him, but he's become sort of the underdog to Strong Bad, and is trying to get his website back any way he can.

====What has kept you from getting a big staff?====
*They explained that the staff is basically four people. The two of them who makes the cartoon, their video guy [[Ryan Sterritt|Ryan]] who does the DVDs and video encoding, and [[Karen Wagner|their sister]] who runs the store. Their biggest reason for keeping the company small is because they don't ''want'' a big staff. A few years ago they might have hired an animator, since animating for eight hours straight at a time was becoming tedious. But they decided against it, and now hiring an animator would just be weird.
*Matt noted that one of the reasons they've been able to do the site for a living is because they've kept it small, and reiterated his advice of "expectations, keep 'em down. Ankle level." The more people you bring in, business type people, they feel it gets bloated and you lose something from the site.

====How did you create the toys?====
*Again, it fell into their laps from a fan who emailed them. He had mocked up little PVC [[Store#Collectible Figurines|figurines]] of the characters, and had all the contacts in China. He flew them up to his studio in New York, showed them the figurines, some factory did pretty much all the work, and all they did was say "hey, looks great". The same thing happened with The Cheat [[Store_Toys#Kick The Cheat|plush doll]]. According to Mike, it would never have happened if they had set out to make toys. Matt offered the advice to "wait until everything falls into your lap".
*At this point, their laptop timed out and went to screensaver, which displayed the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|Strong Bad Screensaver]] for a second, until they bumped the laptop.

====How many Easter egg toons are there, that are not linked to from anywhere on the site?====
*Mike clarified what the person was referring to: [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]. He explained that going to <code>/sbemail100.html</code> was a fakeout, and would instead take you to a short toon. Since the [[:Template:updates-box|H*R.com update]] is usually on Monday, they put this toon up on the site instead, for those that would look in the url before it was linked. They released the [[flashback|100th email]] the next day. That was the only time they've made a toon that you have to get to from outside the toons; to say, "stop looking, stop goofing around, and when it's done it'll be done."
*Matt commented that he's always wanted to do a [[Wikipedia:Alternate reality game|crazy marketing campaign]] like [[Wikipedia:Haunted Apiary|the one]] they did for [[Wikipedia:Halo 2|Halo 2]] and [[Wikipedia:The Beast (game)|the one]] for [[Wikipedia:A.I. (film)|A.I.]], where there would be a network of 1000 websites, secret links, and they'd call your mobile phone, and finally he'd end up coming to your house and giving you a cookie cake.
*After taking stock of how much time they had left (three minutes), they opened the floor to more questions.

====Was the CD you released your personal choice, or fan demand?====
*Mike explained that [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] was their own choice, they had several bits and pieces of songs, and they wanted full, fleshed out versions of many of them. [[Y-O-U]], who were fans of Homestar Runner had emailed them, said that they had just moved to Atlanta, digged their work, and wanted to do something with them. Mike went out and saw their band, met them, and decided to collaborate with them. The collaboration worked well, in addition to being good musicians they had good ideas, and the Chaps went along with most of them. They also commented that they have since built up another collection of [[Songs]], would like to make another CD of full versions, and it was good to know that fans still wanted them.

====How does Craig get compensated?====
*Matt explained that [[Craig Zobel]] is a shareholder; he was the one that helped Mike write the [[Original Book]]. They describe him as a "billionaire gadabout", and whenever he's in town they put him to work.

====How did you come up with the name "Homestar Runner"?====
*The name Homestar Runner came from their friend Jamie, who is not very sports savvy. There was a local commercial for [[Wikipedia:Winn-Dixie|Winn-Dixie]] grocery stores, and [[LEMKE|Mark Lemke]], who was a second basemen for the Atlanta Braves at that time, endorsed the commercial. They would play a clip of Lemke doing something, and the announcer would say something like "Mark Lemke, all star second baseman for the Braves, and you can be a second baseman for savings, at Winn-Dixie". It sounded like an old-timey announcer, so their friend Jamie would make fun of that terrible ad, and say "Mark Lemke, home star runner for the braves!". Matt mentioned they liked the name "The Homestar Runner", and sort of 'filed that away'. Incidentally, Jamie doesn't get compensated since he's in a rock band, and gets "all kinds of action".

====When was the moment you knew it was time to quit the day job and do Homestar full time?====
*Mike explained that at the time he had been doing freelance work, so it was really only Matt who had to quit his job. Their [[Don and Harriet Chapman|dad]] was running everything, and was doing all of the t-shirt sales, and had been hinting for at least six months prior that if they got two or three freelance jobs every few months, they would be able to live off of the sales. Matt described quitting his job as a sort of "leap off a cliff", not knowing if they would be able to do it full time. A little while later they started selling [[Store#Hooded Sweatshirts|hooded sweatshirts]], college got back in session, and sales ramped up to a point where they felt safe.
*Matt mused that he wouldn't mind going back to being a "starving artist for Homestar Runner", eating cold pizza, and all that, just for EarthLink.

===Ending - 5:00 pm===
They asked the crowd if there were any more questions, thanked the audience, and ended right on time.

==After the presentation==
[[Image:Flashforward TBC.JPG|thumb|Taken in the lobby during the autograph session]]
[[Image:Flashforward Autograph.PNG|left|thumb|An autograph to Thunderbird]]
After the presentation had ended, they signed autographs for around 15 minutes up at the stage, usually spending a few minutes with each fan. By 5:15 the next speaker was ready to go on, so they packed up their equipment and went out to the lobby. The remaining fans followed them out, and they finished signing autographs and meeting fans out there.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*The Brothers Chaps were originally also going to appear at the next Flashforward event, in September 2006 in Austin. In early April however, they informed the officials that due to prior commitments they would be unable to attend.

[[Category:Interviews and Public Appearances]]

Office of The Brothers Chaps

2010-06-28T15:57:15Z

Thunderbird L17: No wait, this is where I'm giving the date of occupancy.

[[The Brothers Chaps]] office/workplace in Atlanta, Georgia, has frequent appearances in DVD Bonus Content.
All great cartoons have some type of starting point. For some, it is a studio somewhere in the Hollywood hills, others, an expensive suite full of the latest technology. For [[The Brothers Chaps]], however, it is a multi-room office residing in the basement of a depressing shopping center that they began using around the beginning of 2004. (Strip Mall)

==The Office==
[[Image:Making of 100 email.jpg|thumb|right|220px||Working at the office.]]
The Brothers' main office is the room where (presumably) most of the animation and graphics work for Homestar Runner is done. It is painted just like the [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]], and consists of 2 or 3 Dell laptops on a desk, a TV, and a water cooler just beside the entrance door.

The desk also has a Mac, on which all of the works for the DVDs are done. It has a [[Wikipedia:Apple Cinema Display|Cinema Display]] and Apple keyboard. What its model is is unknown. Since it uses a first-generation model of Apple's Cinema Display, that was sold from late 1999 to mid 2004, the most logical choices are that this Mac is either a [[Wikipedia:Power Mac G4#DDR Models|MDD Power Mac G4]], or an early [[Wikipedia:Power Mac G5|Power Mac G5]], assuming they bought it when they began working on [[strongbad_email.exe]]. However, it's uncertain how long they've used a Mac, so this could very well be as old as an original PowerMac G4.
{{clear}}
==The Sound Room==
[[Image:sample_of_style_screenshot_2.jpg|thumb|right|200px||[[Matt]] with the [[Old-Timey]] filter in the Sound Room.]]
The sound room is where the vocals, music and other audio for the website are produced. It is "fairly soundproofed", and has about 5 keyboards, a cabinet, a microphone, and one of The Brothers Chaps Dell computers (specifically, either a 2300C or 2400C Dimension) with A215 computer speakers and [http://tmbg-catalog.stores.yahoo.net/m.html a They Might Be Giants mousepad]. A window in it looks out to [[Office_of_The_Brothers_Chaps#Videlectrix Office|another part]] of their office.
{{clear}}
==[[Videlectrix Office]]==
[[Image:Videlectrix Office.png|thumb|right|220px|Home to Videlectrix, uh, where is everybody?]]
[[Videlectrix|Videlectrix's]] office is, as you would expect, where Videlectrix uses computers, to make video games. The blue walls have the Videlectrix logo, with a window leading to the [[Office_of_The_Brothers_Chaps#The Sound Room|sound room]] just under it. There are some framed cover artworks of their video games, such as [[Strong Bad Zone]], and [[Thy Dungeonman]]. An old [[Apple IIe]] computer lays on a wooden table.
{{clear}}

==Green Screen Room==
[[Image:Sample of Style Too2.JPG|thumb|right|220px||Matt and Mike in the green room.]]
Some of the [[Puppet Stuff]] is filmed within this room. The wall has been painted a florescent green color, so [[Wikipedia:Chroma key|chroma key]] software can be used to replace the green with an image or video background. Within it lie a tripod, some various props, and lighting fixtures. Appeared in various [[Peasants Quest]] bonus content on [[Everything Else, Volume 1]], and [[Sample of Style Too]]. It is not known whether it is a full room in the office or just a part of another room. It has been shown to have an original version of the [[Wikipedia:iMac G5|iMac G5]]. However, it has not been shown running, so it is not known if it is used regularly, if at all. Also the puppet version of [[Tangerine Dreams]] lies within the floor of the room, which, as it is in animation, an orange [[Wikipedia:iMac G3#iMac (slot-loading)|slot-loading iMac G3]]. This was probably bought between late 1999 to mid 2000, when the slot-loading G3 was available in that color.
{{clear}}
==Storage Room==
A storage room (closet), consisting of many random objects and used props, some extra water bottles for the water cooler, along with a microwave and mini-fridge, is also present in the office. It has so far only been seen in the [http://www.emotioneric.com/ae/?adv=theinterview Emotion Eric Interview].

== Pop ==

Curious as to what your issue is with [[User:Color Printer/Pop]]. According to [[HRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|our policy]], it's OK to have a subpage for "a work in progress, until it is ready to be released". I saw no evidence of a user template there. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

:Actually, I included User:Color Printer/Project in there. Sorry, I didn't know I was doing something wrong. --[[User:Color Printer|Color]] [[User talk:Color Printer|Printer]] 01:45, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::I see it now. Actually, that might not be a bad idea for a wiki template for use by any user... hmm... {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

== Hey dude, I am going away ==

Hey Thunderbird, I am offically leaving this Wiki. You were the sysop who helped me out the most, so I thought I would tell you I am going away. Thanks for what you do for the Wiki man. Not just you, but everyone else. I remember the one good thing I did on the Wiki, and that was helping Has Matt? stop a troll. Adios everyone! [[User:Beat|Beat]] 01:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

:No problem. Though it seems you've been pretty inactive since March, so it looks like there won't really be much of an immediate change in your presence here. In any case, glad that I could help. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:36, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

== Huh-whaa?? ==

Did you catch a raven, or is no longer important to you to do so? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

:Haha. Well originally my task was to "Get a Danish", then later to "Catch a Raven", but at this point in my life I've decided to change my priorities, and simply wait for come what may. Perhaps one day I'll throw one of those tasks back up there, already crossed off, or perhaps even a different but similar one, but for now that kind of goal is no longer in my immediate sights. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
::I can understand giving up on a raven, but a Danish? Come on, this is accomplishable! Don't quit on that! What message are you sending to the UM-13's? You can't do what's in your reach? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
:::I haven't given up. Though I do plan on someday getting a danish, a raven, or something similar, I'm not actively pursuing such a goal at this time. One day, definently. If I were presented a danish, a raven, or something else tomorrow, I'd seriously consider accepting it. But for the time being the pursuit of such has been pushed to the back of my priorities. It's not that its not accomplishable, I've just re-considered my future goals. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:36, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

== Not done and not done ==

I didn't want to litter IRF's page with talkage, but your birthday wish is barely readably on a computer screen. The image is too small and the color is a bit faded. It's your birthday wish, but I'm just pointing out. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 22:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

:Hmmm... Seems to be fine on my computer. I thought images were more or less universal for size and quality from the source, but I could be totally wrong on that. Perhaps I'll ask IRF, since he's the only one who really needs a solid copy-and-paste of the image anyways. Thanks for the heads up!  {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

::Images that are small on a monitor (especially if they contain fine lines) almost never look good in printed form. That's been my experience as a printer. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:11, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

::Hi, no probalo. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 22:12, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

:::<nowiki>*</nowiki>Sigh*, I suppose I'll re-make it bigger then. In my experance, resizing a scanned printed message usually makes it choppy or pixely, so I was going for "actual size". Would you reccomend a larger printing size, thicker tip, etc?  {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:15, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

::::Well, if it's handwritten and scanned, probably the best thing to do would be to just scan it again... Find some resolution setting in the scanning software and knock that up a couple of notches... Your average screen is around 72 or 96 DPI, for printing you generally want something in the order of 300... give or take a factor of 2, depending on the quality you're after. My signature was only about 3cm long on paper, but it's a hires scan. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

:It seems that you were sorely mis-lead on that, since while I have welcomed a fair number of new users in the past, I've only ever used the standard <nowiki>{{subst:welcome|~~~|~~~~~}}</nowiki> template, which in my opinion is all you ever need to use anyways.

== NYU Talk DVD ==
Hi, T-bird. You're back! At least it appears that way... or perhaps you never left? Anyway, I'm posting a message to you here in the hopes you'll find it. Long ago I meant to ask if you ever received the DVD I sent you of the NYU Talk. It probably arrived safely, but I never knew for sure. I also would like to thank you (four years belated) for the Flashforward 2006 Seattle CD you sent me. Have a great one! {{User:The Paper/sig}} 07:24, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, I received it, thanks. I actually never left, I've still been here to check the new toon every week, I just haven't been contributing much, because all the things I wanted to do and projects I wanted to spearhead have been done, and I no longer feel my touch is needed on certain things or projects to get them just right. Since my lapse in contributing, everything has been running quite nicely, confirming my feelings of not being indispensable. I felt adding the first new toon in the longest hiatus ever to my previous pet project of [[H*R.com updates 2010|H*R.com updates]] was a fitting contribution I'd be proud to make. Also getting terribly busy with life, between work and school and wife and other commitments was also a motivating factor of cutting back my wiki time. Keep rocking on though, I'll still be around as long as Homestar is. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 19:13, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Xeriouxly Forxe

2010-04-09T01:57:06Z

[[File:HSR Xeriouxly Forxe.png|thumb|250px|Xeriouxly, Pom. Xeriouxly.]]
Homestar and the other main characters get [[Xeriouxly Forxe Character Variations|xtreme new forms]] for the nineties!

'''Cast:''' {{film|Homestar Runner}}/H. Star, {{film|Strong Bad}}/S. Bad, {{film|Pom Pom}}/Pom, {{film|Marzipan}}/M.Z. Pan, {{film|Coach Z}}/Zoach C, {{film|The Poopsmith}}/The Smith, {{film|Strong Sad}}/S. Sad, {{film|The Cheat}}/Ch8t, {{film|Strong Mad}}/S.

'''Places:''' [[The Field]]

'''Date:''' March 31, 2010 (around 23:00 ET)

'''Running Time:''' 0:54

'''Page Title:''' Exerybody! Exerybody!

==Transcript==
''{Homestar Runner is running across The Field. The singers sing along, as with the [[Intro]].}''

'''SINGERS:''' Everybody! Everybody!

''{The scene starts to skip.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Eh-! Eh-! Eh-!

''{The scene skips faster before a rock version of the Intro takes over. The aspect ratio expands from standard to widescreen. During the rock intro, it shows slides of the characters. Then, lightning turns the characters into their HSR Xeriouxly Forxe forms.}''

'''SINGER:''' Everybody! E-e-e-everybody!<br/>
Everybody! E-e-e-everybody!<br/>
Everybody! E-e-e-everybody!<br/>
Revamped <sup><small>[[#Footnote|[1]]]</small></sup> for the nineties!<br/>
So much more exciting!

Pointy elbows and lots of lightning!<br/>
Edgy and angry, so deadly and jangly!<br/>
There's new demographics<br/>
When nobody asked for it!<br/>

Everybody e-e-e-everybody!<br/>
Right now!

''{The sides of the screen come together with an explosion. All twelve main characters in Xeriouxly Forxe style appear around the title "HSR Xeriouxly Forxe".}''

'''H. STAR:''' ''{struggling, through gritted teeth}'' Xeriouxly Forxe! ''{turning around}'' Did I say that right?

'''S. BAD:''' ''{also through gritted teeth}'' Xhut up and juxt xay your linex! ''{mumbling, in Strong Bad's voice}'' Aw, it's really hard to talk like xhix.

''{After a few moments, the viewer is redirected to [[Main Page 21]].}''

===Footnote===
# The word given as "revamped" may instead be "prepare" or "is there".

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The whole toon is based on the phenomenon of cartoons that gain [[tvtropes:DarkerAndEdgier|unnecessarily edgy revamps]]. 

===Trivia===
*The [[FeedBurner Page#Toons - Homestar Runner: XERIOUXLY FORXE!|RSS description]] of this toon is:
<blockquote>Homestar and Strong Bad are BACK like you've never seen them before! Pointier, angrier, pre-teenier!! The 6-12 demographic won't know what hit em when they witness Xeriouxly Forxe, the all-new adventures of Homestar Runner and friends with a bold new look and an edgier style that just screams, "Hey 6-12 demographic! Do you know what hit you? Can you tell our focus group person that you don't know what hit you, please?" With all those X's in the name, it has to be cool! </blockquote>
*This toon marked the first time in nearly five months that [[homestarrunner.com]] received a new toon, the longest hiatus to date.
*[[Appearances by All 12 Main Characters|All 12 main characters]] appear in this toon.
*This is the third toon in the site to be in [[Widescreen Toons|widescreen]], and the first non-[[Strong Bad Email]] toon to be in said format (not counting [[Main Page 22]]).
* This toon has exactly [[Wikipedia:Number of the Beast|666]] frames, though the viewers are redirected to [[Main Page 21]] in frame number 645, and nothing else happens in the extra frames.
**666 was previously referenced in [[Jibblies 2]] and its [[Jibblies 2 Teaser|teaser]].

===Remarks===
*Except for Homsar (who doesn't change at all), every character that normally [[Lack of visible arms|lacks visible arms]] gains some sort of arms (Marzipan gains tentacles) when upgraded.
*Coach Z and the King of Town have [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|gained visible mouths]].
*Homestar's eyes blink in their usual pattern, even though the video at the beginning is supposedly skipping.
**The background also only slightly skips back and then continues as normal, not matching the audio skip.

===Goofs===
*While The Smith raises his ax, you can see a small part of it through his forehead.

===Fixed Goofs===
*After The Poopsmith is transformed, the cutaway to the next character showed The Poopsmith in non-transformed form. This was fixed within a half-hour of release.

===Inside References===
*S. Sad has the head of an [[elephant]].
*[[Seriously|Xeriouxly]] is in the new name.
*The Cheat used "Ch8t" previously in [[mile]] and [[bedtime story]].
*The [[Teen Girl Squad]] were said to be "revamped for the nineties" in [[Homestarrunner.com PAY PLUS!]]
*Zoach C's boots bear a similarity to [[Stinkoman]]'s.
*Zoach C's name is a [[spoonerism]].
*The [[explosion]] behind the logo is the same one used when the [[Visor Robot]] malfunction in [[Senor Mortgage]].

===Real-World References===
*H. Star has [[Wikipedia:Doctor Octopus|Doctor Octopus]]-style mechanical arms strapped around his neck.
*S. Bad has a variation of the [[Batman]] emblem on his mask.

Loading Screens

2009-07-06T22:30:26Z

Thunderbird L17: /* Trivia */ I don't think "totally loaded" should count as a loading screen, it's obviously an "end" statement. It also makes sense that TBC meant to give only 100 loading screens.

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
*Although this cartoon was uploaded on the 5th of July, 2009, the main page stated that it had been updated on the 6th.
*There are a total of 100 loading screens shown, plus the "totally loaded" ending statement.

===Remarks===
[[Image:loading_oldnew.png|thumb|Original, and from Loading Screens.]]
*The first loading screen was used in older Flash content, but in this short, it has the modern logo.
*This toon has a higher [[Audio Quality]] than normal.
*This toon marks another [[Fourth Wall Break]].
*Although Homestar says this cartoon is all the loading screens, several loading screens are absent.
*Coach Z's accent and speech impediment are less obvious in this cartoon.

===Inside References===
*This short features nearly every Loading screen on the website.
*Strong Bad makes a reference to [[pants]].
*Strong Bad mentions [[Total Load]].
*One of Homestar's lines is "Old Homestar Runner, tap that foot." This refers to the loading screen of [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].

The transcript uses the actual word doppelganger, while the inside reference is to the Toppelgangers. Is the transcript wromg? -[[Special:Contributions/173.3.112.55|173.3.112.55]] 13:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
:I thought it sounded like "toppleganger" when I was transcribing it, but I'd forgotten about [[The Topplegangers]], so I figured I was just mishearing. But I wasn't, Toppleganger is right, and I've already fixed the transcript as soon as I saw the inside ref. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:57, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Get back to work, guys. ==

I think Reynolds brother says "Get back to work, Charles." and don't we already know that Charles is Gunhaver's first name from [[let us give tanks]]? [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:06, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

: I've listened to it several times, and I believe this is true. I'm gonna change it. It also makes makes sense since Crackotage and Silent Rip are actually working [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:10, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
:: Sounds reasonable to me. Listening again, I hear "Charles" too. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 14:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== white screen ==

<blockquote>A decompiler, a Flash Seek Bookmarklet, or the Greasemonkey script reveals a white screen before the TV Easter egg can be accessed.</blockquote>

I removed this from the ''Easter Eggs'' section, because that's certainly not the right place for it. I considered placing it elsewhere on the page, but decided not to because it doesn't seem that notable. The [[HRWiki:Standards]] as I interpret them, seems we don't mention such things unless they are clearly meant to be discovered and/or add something relevant to the cartoon (E.g. [[:Image:Dodongo.png|"Nice try, dodongo"]] and [[:Image:By strong bab age 5.PNG|—by Strong Bab]]). Just thought I'd mention my rationale here, if others feel that it really deserves a mention in the article, I don't have a strong opinion against that. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 19:56, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:Definitely notable, but seemingly unintentional. Seems like a goof or a remark to me. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Pop ==

Curious as to what your issue is with [[User:Color Printer/Pop]]. According to [[HRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|our policy]], it's OK to have a subpage for "a work in progress, until it is ready to be released". I saw no evidence of a user template there. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

:Actually, I included User:Color Printer/Project in there. Sorry, I didn't know I was doing something wrong. --[[User:Color Printer|Color]] [[User talk:Color Printer|Printer]] 01:45, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::I see it now. Actually, that might not be a bad idea for a wiki template for use by any user... hmm... {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Sorry, it wasn't a big deal or anything. I have no problem with a similar communial template, I actually like the idea of it. But that template as a user subpage had no reason to be nested, when the contents could easily just be duplicated at the top. Hope I didn't offend anyone. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

==Help!==
My page is broken. I need help. Can you fix it?

== Hey dude, I am going away ==

Hey Thunderbird, I am offically leaving this Wiki. You were the sysop who helped me out the most, so I thought I would tell you I am going away. Thanks for what you do for the Wiki man. Not just you, but everyone else. I remember the one good thing I did on the Wiki, and that was helping Has Matt? stop a troll. Adios everyone! [[User:Beat|Beat]] 01:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

:No problem. Though it seems you've been pretty inactive since March, so it looks like there won't really be much of an immediate change in your presence here. In any case, glad that I could help. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:36, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

== Huh-whaa?? ==

Did you catch a raven, or is no longer important to you to do so? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

:Haha. Well originally my task was to "Get a Danish", then later to "Catch a Raven", but at this point in my life I've decided to change my priorities, and simply wait for come what may. Perhaps one day I'll throw one of those tasks back up there, already crossed off, or perhaps even a different but similar one, but for now that kind of goal is no longer in my immediate sights. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
::I can understand giving up on a raven, but a Danish? Come on, this is accomplishable! Don't quit on that! What message are you sending to the UM-13's? You can't do what's in your reach? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
:::I haven't given up. Though I do plan on someday getting a danish, a raven, or something similar, I'm not actively pursuing such a goal at this time. One day, definently. If I were presented a danish, a raven, or something else tomorrow, I'd seriously consider accepting it. But for the time being the pursuit of such has been pushed to the back of my priorities. It's not that its not accomplishable, I've just re-considered my future goals. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:36, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
::::'''Update:''' I did end up catching my Raven. :) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:48, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

== Not done and not done ==

I didn't want to litter IRF's page with talkage, but your birthday wish is barely readably on a computer screen. The image is too small and the color is a bit faded. It's your birthday wish, but I'm just pointing out. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 22:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

:Hmmm... Seems to be fine on my computer. I thought images were more or less universal for size and quality from the source, but I could be totally wrong on that. Perhaps I'll ask IRF, since he's the only one who really needs a solid copy-and-paste of the image anyways. Thanks for the heads up!  {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

::Images that are small on a monitor (especially if they contain fine lines) almost never look good in printed form. That's been my experience as a printer. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:11, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

::Hi, no probalo. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 22:12, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

:::<nowiki>*</nowiki>Sigh*, I suppose I'll re-make it bigger then. In my experance, resizing a scanned printed message usually makes it choppy or pixely, so I was going for "actual size". Would you reccomend a larger printing size, thicker tip, etc?  {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:15, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

::::Well, if it's handwritten and scanned, probably the best thing to do would be to just scan it again... Find some resolution setting in the scanning software and knock that up a couple of notches... Your average screen is around 72 or 96 DPI, for printing you generally want something in the order of 300... give or take a factor of 2, depending on the quality you're after. My signature was only about 3cm long on paper, but it's a hires scan. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

:::::I also could not make it legible on my screen. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 14:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

==Welcome Templates==

Hi. I just became a member of the [[Welcoming Commitee]], and I heard that you were good on making welcome message templates. Could you email me back about this? [[User:Makatota|Makatota]] 16:15, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

:It seems that you were sorely mis-lead on that, since while I have welcomed a fair number of new users in the past, I've only ever used the standard <nowiki>{{subst:welcome|~~~|~~~~~}}</nowiki> template, which in my opinion is all you ever need to use anyways. Sorry to crush your hopes and dreams, {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:46, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

== Page Deletion ==

I have some user subpages that are just taking up space. Could you delete them for me please? They are: [[‎User:AtionSong/ISketch]], [[User:AtionSong/Voting Testing Grounds]], and [[User:AtionSong/Sighting Categories]]. Thanks. -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 22:08, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

*Hey, I'm thinking about creating a new page, but I don't know what to call it and I don't know all of its info.

Such as in [[bottom 10]]: He says, "and the number one spot in my bottom 10 is... Th--" and then gets interrupted. Please help out. I am sending this to all sysops. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}

== [[The Lucky Yates Show - 3 Nov 2007|Lucky Yates Show]] ==

Is there any reason why you made several links to the [[Lucky Yates]] Show but never created that page? It doesn't look very good having those three red links on non-talk pages. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 01:35, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

== My way cool user's list ==
Hey Thunderbird, if you want you can put this on your user page:

|}
It's not quite right and you don't have to if you dont want to. {{User:Pacoman/sig}} 20:52, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
:Um, Thunderbird? I changed my users list box so people wouldn't get it confused with the subtitles project (because of the pic) so my new userbox is under way and will be available at my talk page soon (I hope). Thanks {{User:Pacoman/sig}} 03:31, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

::Here you go!!!

==Transcript==
'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover, reading the words on screen}'' The following is an extremely well paid for commercial advertisement ''{pronounced ad-VER-tis-ment}'' and NOT a really funny cartoon.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Checkin' emails for money... is not funny.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: 3-D game-a?</div>
Dear Strong Bad,<br />
You need make a 3-D Strong Bad video game with all the<br />
brst graphics. Not a bad game with dumb pixels! Come<br />
on MAN!<br />
From Kev the Mighty, Crenshaw Lane
</blockquote>
''{says "to" after "need" and reads "brst" as written, and "Mighty" as "moron"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' A 3D video game? What you mean like this?

''{Strong Bad types '''strongbad3Dtotal.wad'''. The game appears on the Lappy's screen: a low-polygon 3D version of Strong Bad stands in a room with grey walls, one brown door with a window, a green and white checkered floor with a purple puddle, and containing one bed. Music from [[Strong Bad's Rhino Feeder]] plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD CHARACTER:''' ''{in a poorly-synthesized voice, as a speech bubble appears}'' Holy crap.

''{A similarly low-polygon version of Homestar Runner walks in from the right. The game is closed and the Lappy's screen shows the email again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or did you mean like THIS?!? ''{Strong Bad gets up and turns towards the viewer, moving off screen to the left.}'' Gimme that camera!

''{Strong Bad starts to move the camera around the room, which is rendered in full 3D.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! ''{music starts; Strong Bad turns left to face Strong Sad, who is in his bedroom directly across the hall}'' Ooh, look at that voluptuous belly!

''{Strong Sad pats his belly twice. Strong Bad pans right, facing the stairs, where portraits of Strong Mad, Strong Sad, Strong Bad and The Cheat are hung, as he imitates a car engine.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking down the stairs}'' Down the stairs! Doof-doof-doof-doof.

''{Strong Bad imitates a car engine again, turning right to face Strong Mad, who is standing near the front door by a table with two Neighborhood Style pizzas from The Pizz, with a third on the floor. He moves the camera over to the pizzas.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! Pizza. ''{pans to Strong Mad}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THAT'S THREE WEEKS OLD!

''{Strong Bad pans right to Coach Z, who is standing next to the kitchen area, while still making car sounds.''}

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, watch where you're pointin' that 3D!

''{Strong Bad moves past a recliner on his left, and the window and wooden horse and hush puppy signs on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...3D ...

''{He walks through the door; Strong Bad's room can be seen directly opposite, across the hall. He turns right, then left down another flight of stairs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Witness my amazing videogame styles, in all three of the glorious Ds! ''{at the base of the stairs, he turns left, to see The Cheat standing on a washing machine to the right of a dryer, below the No Loafing sign}'' Hi, The Cheat.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Depth, ''{turns into the basement, facing the Trogdor arcade game, then pans left to the couch}'' dimension, and—

''{The music scratches to a stop as Homestar Runner appears from below.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad. I've got a low polygon count. ''{smiles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —dumb idiots.

''{Cut to a blue screen with a crude representation of the Telltale Games logo.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' From the people who made that game "''Rabbitdog and Bunnyman''", ''{crude drawings of Sam and Max appear, respectively}'' and the geniuses responsible ''{the Videlectrix logo replaces the others, appearing with yellow stars}'' for "''Trogdor: Let's Burninate Phonics''"—

''{An example of ''Trogdor: Let's Burninate Phonics'' appears, featuring Trogdor burninating a schwa while two green-suited archers look on from the corners of the screen. "SCHWA!!!" flashes as the symbol turns to dust.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —comes a 3D point-and-click-'em-up adventure ''{a Wiimote spins onto the screen, spinning out to a Powered by The Cheat drawing of a Nintendo Wii on a wooden table}'' that will quite literally leave your Wii console ''{the Wiimote falls to the left of the Wii}'' a smoldering crater.

''{The Wii explodes in a mushroom cloud, leaving a smoldering crater; the Wiimote is knocked into the air, then falls down again. Red scrawled text appears on top of the scene: * GAMe WiLL NOT LiTeRALLY LeAVe YOUR Wii—''unreadable''—ter.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voiceover}'' Game will not literally leave your Wii console a smoldering crater.

''{Red curtains close, then open again to reveal a pale blue background, which the Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People logo flies into from the top. Music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Presenting ''Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People''!

''{Cut to Strong Bad in the classroom, which is no longer in 3D.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or if you want to get in on the ground floor of the cool abbreviations: ''SBCG4AP''! ''{letters appear as he says them, then the abbreviation acquires orange-yellow drop shadows}''

''{Return to the blue screen with the logo, now with the caption "coming soon".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Coming soon to a WiiWare near me-ware. Er— you-ware.

''{Music stops, and the scene fades out, then back in to the back of Bubs' Concession Stand, where Strong Bad stands in the middle of Bubs, Strong Mad, Coach Z, The Cheat and Pom Pom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah man, the Super FX chip, that red thing you stuck in the N64, Mode 7 — and they even had to invent Mode 8 just for this game!

''{Medium shot of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' You seen any graphics yet?

''{Medium shot of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not yet, but I sent them this concept art, ''{holds up a piece of paper with a drawing of himself holding a big knife, standing next to The Cheat}'' and I'm pretty sure they're gonna stick close to my vision.

''{Close-up on the drawing, accompanied by heavy-metal chords. It features a heavily-built Strong Bad with robot legs, webbing between his torso and arms, wearing spiky armor on his left arm and wielding a big knife in his right hand. A spark runs between the extended tips of his mask. He has a vicious-looking, slender The Cheat on a chain-link leash with a studded collar. "learn more at telltalegames.com" appears at the bottom, alongside the "back" link.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Polygon mesh|Polygon count]] is the number of polygons being used for a 3D model. Low polygon count allows for fast rendering but reduces detail.

===Trivia===
*This cartoon appears to be in 24 frames per second for the 3D cutscenes, instead of the usual 12. This makes the animation smoother and appear faster than usual, which explains why the characters' mouths move so fast. The last frame rate "substitute" was in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], when it was bumped up to 20 fps for a 3D effect.

===Remarks===
*The Flash file is hosted on Telltale Game's website, as seen [http://telltale.vo.llnwd.net/o15/videos/sbcg4ap/3Dtrailer.swf here].

* In [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] and [[Sbemail 150?!?]], the computer room was one floor up from the couch. However, Strong Bad descends two sets of stairs to get to the couch, making it two stories down.
*Bubs' arms are rendered in an old bent style.
*This is the first time that Strong Bad is seen interacting with the camera that he presumably uses, in the context of the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] universe, to broadcast his "email show".

'''Mendelev''' and '''Dongolev''' the archers are characters from the game [[Peasant's Quest]]. Mendelev runs the archery booth. The brothers don't always get along. They can be told apart by the color of the feathers in their caps. Mendelev's feather is yellow, Dongolev's is red.

In [[1987]], Mendelev liked [[Strong Bad]]'s wallpaper and sent an email to him saying so, as seen in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[no loafing]].

In the live-action trailer, both twin brothers are played by Matt Gribbon.

'''Date:''' Thursday, April 10, 2008

'''Running Time:''' 2:00

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486 has SOLD OUT!

==Transcript==
'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover, reading the words on screen}'' The following is an extremely well paid for commercial advertisement ''{pronounced ad-VER-tis-ment}'' and NOT a really funny cartoon.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Checkin' emails for money... is not funny.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: 3-D game-a?</div>
Dear Strong Bad,<br />
You need make a 3-D Strong Bad video game with all the<br />
brst graphics. Not a bad game with dumb pixels! Come<br />
on MAN!<br />
From Kev the Mighty, Crenshaw Lane
</blockquote>
''{says "to" after "need" and reads "brst" as written, and "Mighty" as "moron"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' A 3D video game? What you mean like this?

''{Strong Bad types '''strongbad3Dtotal.wad'''. The game appears on the Lappy's screen: a low-polygon 3D version of Strong Bad stands in a room with grey walls, one brown door with a window, a green and white checkered floor with a purple puddle, and containing one bed. Music from [[Strong Bad's Rhino Feeder]] plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD CHARACTER:''' ''{in a poorly-synthesized voice, as a speech bubble appears}'' Holy crap.

''{A similarly low-polygon version of Homestar Runner walks in from the right. The game is closed and the Lappy's screen shows the email again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or did you mean like THIS?!? ''{Strong Bad gets up and turns towards the viewer, moving off screen to the left.}'' Gimme that camera!

''{Strong Bad starts to move the camera around the room, which is rendered in full 3D.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! ''{music starts; Strong Bad turns left to face Strong Sad, who is in his bedroom directly across the hall}'' Ooh, look at that voluptuous belly!

''{Strong Sad pats his belly twice. Strong Bad pans right, facing the stairs, where portraits of Strong Mad, Strong Sad, Strong Bad and The Cheat are hung, as he imitates a car engine.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking down the stairs}'' Down the stairs! Doof-doof-doof-doof.

''{Strong Bad imitates a car engine again, turning right to face Strong Mad, who is standing near the front door by a table with two Neighborhood Style pizzas from The Pizz, with a third on the floor. He moves the camera over to the pizzas.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! Pizza. ''{pans to Strong Mad}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THAT'S THREE WEEKS OLD!

''{Strong Bad pans right to Coach Z, who is standing next to the kitchen area, while still making car sounds.''}

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, watch where you're pointin' that 3D!

''{Strong Bad moves past a recliner on his left, and the window and wooden horse and hush puppy signs on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...3D ...

''{He walks through the door; Strong Bad's room can be seen directly opposite, across the hall. He turns right, then left down another flight of stairs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Witness my amazing videogame styles, in all three of the glorious Ds! ''{at the base of the stairs, he turns left, to see The Cheat standing on a washing machine to the right of a dryer, below the No Loafing sign}'' Hi, The Cheat.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Depth, ''{turns into the basement, facing the Trogdor arcade game, then pans left to the couch}'' dimension, and—

''{The music scratches to a stop as Homestar Runner appears from below.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad. I've got a low polygon count. ''{smiles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —dumb idiots.

''{Cut to a blue screen with a crude representation of the Telltale Games logo.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' From the people who made that game "''Rabbitdog and Bunnyman''", ''{crude drawings of Sam and Max appear, respectively}'' and the geniuses responsible ''{the Videlectrix logo replaces the others, appearing with yellow stars}'' for "''Trogdor: Let's Burninate Phonics''"—

''{An example of ''Trogdor: Let's Burninate Phonics'' appears, featuring Trogdor burninating a schwa while two green-suited archers look on from the corners of the screen. "SCHWA!!!" flashes as the symbol turns to dust.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —comes a 3D point-and-click-'em-up adventure ''{a Wiimote spins onto the screen, spinning out to a Powered by The Cheat drawing of a Nintendo Wii on a wooden table}'' that will quite literally leave your Wii console ''{the Wiimote falls to the left of the Wii}'' a smoldering crater.

''{The Wii explodes in a mushroom cloud, leaving a smoldering crater; the Wiimote is knocked into the air, then falls down again. Red scrawled text appears on top of the scene: * GAMe WiLL NOT LiTeRALLY LeAVe YOUR Wii—''unreadable''—ter.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{voiceover}'' Game will not literally leave your Wii console a smoldering crater.

''{Red curtains close, then open again to reveal a pale blue background, which the Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People logo flies into from the top. Music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Presenting ''Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People''!

''{Cut to Strong Bad in the classroom, which is no longer in 3D.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or if you want to get in on the ground floor of the cool abbreviations: ''SBCG4AP''! ''{letters appear as he says them, then the abbreviation acquires orange-yellow drop shadows}''

''{Return to the blue screen with the logo, now with the caption "coming soon".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Coming soon to a WiiWare near me-ware. Er— you-ware.

''{Music stops, and the scene fades out, then back in to the back of Bubs' Concession Stand, where Strong Bad stands in the middle of Bubs, Strong Mad, Coach Z, The Cheat and Pom Pom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah man, the Super FX chip, that red thing you stuck in the N64, Mode 7 — and they even had to invent Mode 8 just for this game!

''{Medium shot of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' You seen any graphics yet?

''{Medium shot of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not yet, but I sent them this concept art, ''{holds up a piece of paper with a drawing of himself holding a big knife, standing next to The Cheat}'' and I'm pretty sure they're gonna stick close to my vision.

''{Close-up on the drawing, accompanied by heavy-metal chords. It features a heavily-built Strong Bad with robot legs, webbing between his torso and arms, wearing spiky armor on his left arm and wielding a big knife in his right hand. A spark runs between the extended tips of his mask. He has a vicious-looking, slender The Cheat on a chain-link leash with a studded collar.

Curious as to what your issue is with [[User:Color Printer/Pop]]. According to [[HRWiki:User space#What about user subpages?|our policy]], it's OK to have a subpage for "a work in progress, until it is ready to be released". I saw no evidence of a user template there. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

:Actually, I included User:Color Printer/Project in there. Sorry, I didn't know I was doing something wrong. --[[User:Color Printer|Color]] [[User talk:Color Printer|Printer]] 01:45, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::I see it now. Actually, that might not be a bad idea for a wiki template for use by any user... hmm... {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Sorry, it wasn't a big deal or anything. I have no problem with a similar communial template, I actually like the idea of it. But that template as a user subpage had no reason to be nested, when the contents could easily just be duplicated at the top. Hope I didn't offend anyone. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

==Help!==
My page is broken. I need help. Can you fix it?
[[User:Strong Badman]] or [[User:Strong Badman 2]]

== Hey dude, I am going away ==

Hey Thunderbird, I am offically leaving this Wiki. You were the sysop who helped me out the most, so I thought I would tell you I am going away. Thanks for what you do for the Wiki man. Not just you, but everyone else. I remember the one good thing I did on the Wiki, and that was helping Has Matt? stop a troll. Adios everyone! [[User:Beat|Beat]] 01:49, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

:No problem. Though it seems you've been pretty inactive since March, so it looks like there won't really be much of an immediate change in your presence here. In any case, glad that I could help. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:36, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

== Huh-whaa?? ==

Did you catch a raven, or is no longer important to you to do so? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

:Haha. Well originally my task was to "Get a Danish", then later to "Catch a Raven", but at this point in my life I've decided to change my priorities, and simply wait for come what may. Perhaps one day I'll throw one of those tasks back up there, already crossed off, or perhaps even a different but similar one, but for now that kind of goal is no longer in my immediate sights. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:26, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
::I can understand giving up on a raven, but a Danish? Come on, this is accomplishable! Don't quit on that! What message are you sending to the UM-13's? You can't do what's in your reach? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
:::I haven't given up. Though I do plan on someday getting a danish, a raven, or something similar, I'm not actively pursuing such a goal at this time. One day, definently. If I were presented a danish, a raven, or something else tomorrow, I'd seriously consider accepting it. But for the time being the pursuit of such has been pushed to the back of my priorities. It's not that its not accomplishable, I've just re-considered my future goals. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:36, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

== Not done and not done ==

I didn't want to litter IRF's page with talkage, but your birthday wish is barely readably on a computer screen. The image is too small and the color is a bit faded. It's your birthday wish, but I'm just pointing out. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 22:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

:Hmmm... Seems to be fine on my computer. I thought images were more or less universal for size and quality from the source, but I could be totally wrong on that. Perhaps I'll ask IRF, since he's the only one who really needs a solid copy-and-paste of the image anyways. Thanks for the heads up!  {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

::Images that are small on a monitor (especially if they contain fine lines) almost never look good in printed form. That's been my experience as a printer. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:11, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

::Hi, no probalo. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 22:12, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

:::<nowiki>*</nowiki>Sigh*, I suppose I'll re-make it bigger then. In my experance, resizing a scanned printed message usually makes it choppy or pixely, so I was going for "actual size". Would you reccomend a larger printing size, thicker tip, etc?  {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:15, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

::::Well, if it's handwritten and scanned, probably the best thing to do would be to just scan it again... Find some resolution setting in the scanning software and knock that up a couple of notches... Your average screen is around 72 or 96 DPI, for printing you generally want something in the order of 300... give or take a factor of 2, depending on the quality you're after. My signature was only about 3cm long on paper, but it's a hires scan. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

:::::I also could not make it legible on my screen. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 14:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

==Welcome Templates==

Hi. I just became a member of the [[Welcoming Commitee]], and I heard that you were good on making welcome message templates. Could you email me back about this? [[User:Makatota|Makatota]] 16:15, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

:It seems that you were sorely mis-lead on that, since while I have welcomed a fair number of new users in the past, I've only ever used the standard <nowiki>{{subst:welcome|~~~|~~~~~}}</nowiki> template, which in my opinion is all you ever need to use anyways. Sorry to crush your hopes and dreams, {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:46, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

== Page Deletion ==

I have some user subpages that are just taking up space. Could you delete them for me please? They are: [[‎User:AtionSong/ISketch]], [[User:AtionSong/Voting Testing Grounds]], and [[User:AtionSong/Sighting Categories]]. Thanks. -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 22:08, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

==Transcript==

''{[[The Cheat]]'s [[Characters' Instruments#Record Player|record player]] appears on a table in Strong Bad's basement. An album cover slides onscreen, which reads "limozeen" (in sloshy's logo's font) "vs. SLOSHY" (in Limozeen's logo's font). Two feet are seen: one Hollywood Boulevard and one wearing jeans and a [[Chuck Taylor All-Stars|Chuck Taylor All-Star]]. At the bottom of the screen, it reads "A. Limozeen plays sloshy's 'We Don't Really Even Care About You'" and "B. sloshy plays Limozeen's '[[Because, It's Midnite]]'". Each has "listen", "download", and "hear the original" next to it. By default, Limozeen's version of "We Don't Really Even Care About You" plays.}''

==Easter Eggs==

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*The format of the single is known as a [[Wikipedia:Split album|split single]] with two different bands on one release. Split singles where two bands cover each other's songs are often done by indie labels to promote the label and the two bands, thus the page title.

===Trivia===
*The [[Audio Quality|sound quality]] of the toon has been upped considerably, resulting in clearer sound than other cartoons, similar to [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] and [[An Important Rap Song]].
*This is the first time the original ''Because, It's Midnite'' has been made publicly accessible. Previously it had only been available through [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Four]] and [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].
**It is also the first permanent publicly accessible version of the original We Don't Even Really Care About You, having previously been a [[Quote of the Week]].
*The Easter egg is not only the first Limozeen: "but they're in space!" toon that was featured outside of [[Strong Bad Email]], it is also the first not to feature the "comic relief", [[Mary Palaroncini]].

===Remarks===
*The space background used in the space chase scene in the Easter egg has a noticeable seam.
*In the Limozeen cover, the lead vocals are trilled in some parts, resulting in a rolled R sound even when there are no Rs.
*The sloshy cover is shorter than the original.
*As mentioned in [[concert]], one of the members of Sloshy has his back to the camera throughout the Easter egg.
*Counting all four songs together, this is the longest [[Toons#Shorts|Short]] by nearly two minutes.

===Inside References===
*The album is produced under the label "[[Cheap as Free]] Music".
*The boot on the cover of the album is a Hollywood Boulevard, previously worn by Strong Bad in [[concert]].
*The Easter egg references [[smoking]].
*A dual artist single record was previously seen in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]], when the King of Town and The Cheat used Marzipan's answering machine to record a "split 7-inch".

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' You've got an ugly butt, and a stupid... butt.

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Strong Bad Sings missing title.png|thumb|right|220px|Hidden title]]
===Trivia===
*The photos used for the background of the CD/Cassette/8-track cover have "[[Wikipedia:Corbis|corbis.com]]" in the bottom left corner of them. (It's most noticeable on the 8-Tracks: just zoom in.)
*In older versions of the Flash, the phone number at the end was 1-800-BAD-SONG. That was changed because it turned out that was a real number for a Limousine service in the New York area.
*There is another title in the song list that was never shown in the toon. It's called "Keep On Keepin' It On (I Am So Awesome)".
*[[Mike Chapman]] is the voice of Announcer 2.
*At the end, the commentator says to call 1-800-428-64 tooty-two. This phone number actually belongs to Tank Technologies and Supply in Rogers, MN, assuming tooty-two is 22.
*Three records (LPs) would equal 135 minutes of music (2 hours, 15 minutes).
*Seven CDs worth of songs would equal, at most, 560 minutes of music (9 hours, 20 minutes).
*Twelve cassette tapes would equal 1080 minutes of music (18 hours).
*Thirty 8-track tapes would equal up to 1200 minutes of music (20 hours).
*This is the first mention of [[Free Country, USA]].

===Remarks===
*Strong Mad's eyebrows are gray for this cartoon.
*The phone number at the end is 13 digits long. Standard phone numbers in the United States include only 10 digits, however, additional letters are often added in commercials for the value of having the phone number spell a word.

===Inside References===
*The song "Who is the Guy That Wins All the Contests?" is a reference to the song Strong Bad sings to himself in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*This is the first appearance of [[Tooty-two]].
*The title "Everyone loves a little competition" is a reference to [[The Reddest Radish]].

===Fast Forward===
*Many of these songs are remade and featured on the CD [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].

== DVD Version ==
*The song The Cheat plays to Strong Mad is changed to "Hot Cross Buns".
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])
[[Image:Fat Bluebird.PNG|thumb|Yep, it's on the wiki.]]
'''MATT:''' Oh, that Fat Bluebird.

'''MIKE:''' It's the re— it's one of my favorite characters. ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' I wonder is the Fat Bluebird on the wiki?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Look at Strong Bad's mouth and his mask. It's before he had the highlights on his eyes—

'''MATT:''' What about that great background we're using there?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I think I may have bought that as clip art.

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' I think so.

'''MATT:''' How legitimate of you, for as early on as this was.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah. It was like five bucks, maybe. Strong Bad's mouth gets a lot, uh, wider no— back then than it does now.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and taller. It pretty much goes from stem to stern.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Uh, so a lot of— some of these songs we ended up making on the CD. The Strong Bad Sings CD. Now that back—

'''MIKE:''' ''{cracking up while speaking}'' That background I did not pay for!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' You didn't pay two cents for that one!

'''MIKE:''' I didn't try very hard, either!

'''MATT:''' I always enjoyed this part, though. I thought you did a good job. I was amazed that we could fit that many symbols on the screen at the s— at one time. I didn't think that was possible.

'''MIKE:''' ''{incomprehensible}''

'''MATT:''' So, here's the old announcer; he's still around. So don't, you guys, don't tell them about it; we had to change this so—

'''MIKE:''' Hot Cross Buns!

'''MATT:''' The Happy— the Happy B-day people—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously, sings}'' Hot Cross Buns! ''{alone, speaking}'' Those Nazis! ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' ''{cracking up while speaking}'' —didn't come and make us pay them eight cents!

'''MIKE:''' The Hot Cross Buns people are totally cool. ''{laughs}'' That's my first appearance on the website, vocally.

'''MATT:''' That's true.

'''BOTH:''' It used to be 1-800-BAD-SONG—

'''MIKE:''' —and it was a real number.

'''MATT:''' It was, like, a limo driver in Brooklyn, or something, I think!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, somebody, and he would send us angry emails about people calling that number.

===Fun Facts===
*"[[Wikipedia:Happy Birthday to You|Happy Birthday to You]]" is in fact a [[Wikipedia:Happy Birthday to You#Copyright issues and public performances|copyrighted]] song, which explains The Brothers Chaps' remark about having to change the song The Cheat plays to "Hot Cross Buns".
*At the time of [[Everything Else, Volume 1]]'s release, the Fat Bluebird was not mentioned specifically on the wiki. On the first day the disc was available, the bluebird was listed in the cast at the top of this page in response to the commentary above, and then not long after that it got its own screenshot and article.

'''Places:''' [[Strong Badia]] ([[Behind the Fence]]), [[Blubb-O's]], [[The Field]]

'''Date:''' Monday, March 10, 2008

'''Running time:''' 1:53

'''Page title:''' See Participating Stores for Details!
==Transcript==

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat are walking along behind the fence in Strong Badia. Corny advertisement music plays quietly under them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{haltingly, as a bad actor}'' Man, you guys! All this walking around behind the fence being a young person sure has gotten my hunger all up in a dander!

''{Suddenly, the Drive-Thru Whale shoots up from the ground in front of them}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Relinquish your pipes please, fellas!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{without much emotion}'' Relinquish our pipes? We'd love to!

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat all start laughing. The scene fades slightly as a huge Blubb-O's logo comes on screen, with the words "Come The Heck Down" written underneath.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Come the heck down to Blubb-O's and try your dang self the Blubb-O's Classic.

''{The scene changes to a red background and a burger appears, with a label below saying "Classic" when the announcer names it.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' The Original. The Regular. The New Original. The Old Classic.

''{Each time the announcer mentions another burger, another label with the burger's name appears on top of the previous ones, and the new type of burger replaces the old one, even though each burger is identical (except that it is flipped around each time). Then, a huge deep-fried triangle of fish appears between a burger bun, and another label appears over the others saying "Isosceles Fish Sandwich??"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And the Isosceles Fish Sandwich. Wait, fish sandwich? ''{A record scratch and the music stops.}'' We have a fish sandwich? Has anybody ever ordered that thing?

''{A beep is heard as the scene cuts abruptly to a kitchen with a lettuce, two onions, and two tomatoes lie on a counter top.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' At Blubb-O's, all our vegetables are hand tossed through a refreshing cascade of water, and chopped in mid air.

''{As the announcer mentions this, the vegetables are thrown through a waterfall and chopped in half with a knife. The scene then changes to a Blubb-O's restaurant counter, with Homestar behind it, looking exhausted, wearing a yellow deli-style hat with the Drive-Thru Whale on it and a yellow apron.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Welcome the crap to Blubb-O's. Would you like to try a combo meal, ''{Holds up a Blubb-O's meal bag.}'' some Chipotle Potato Nudules ''{Holds up a small paper dish with some [[French Fries|fries]].}'' or our Attempt-At-Competing-With-National-Coffee-Chains Premium Mocha-Chip Meltshake? ''{Holds up a cup with some cocoa beans and the word "PREMIUM" printed on it.}''

''{The camera cuts to Marzipan on the other side of the counter.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I just have a question: do you actually use whale meat, or just regular fast food meat? I just need to know how hard I should protest you.

''{Marzipan holds up two signs, one with the Drive-Thru Whale with the text "SAVE THE BLUBB-O WHALE", and the other with a caricature of the Drive-Thru Whale with the text "really SAVE THE BLUBB-O WHALE".}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{laughs}'' Family fun, and I'm talkin' about men in costumes, is what Blubb-O's is all about.

''{Cut to the field. Coach Z is in a large Drive-Thru Whale costume with some balloons next to him.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey there kids! I'm the Drive-Thru Whale! ''{Jumps up and down and shouts.}'' I'll chop off your legs!

''{The view changes and Strong Sad is standing beside him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Sometimes it seems like you're trying to go to prison, Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, three square meals a day!

''{The camera pans to the left where Strong Bad and The Cheat sit in a cardboard box with "HMS Locash" written on the side. Strong Bad is wearing his Archibald outfit from [[A Decemberween Pageant]] and holding a harpoon and The Cheat has a harpoon gun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thar she blows, The Cheat! Aim for the blowhole!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? Whoa, I didn't even see Coach Z standing in a whale costume. Yeah, shoot him too!

''{As the sound of The Cheat firing the harpoon gun is heard, it cuts again to a red background with a pale Blubb-O's watermark.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And now for a limited time, introducing the Blubb-O's Thick 'n Nasty.

''{A burger with a really thick patty falls into frame, and a gold plate with "THICK 'n NASTY" on it appears on top. A drawing of Peacey P then pops up with a speech bubble saying "that's right. ya'll blubb-o heads. the thick 'n nasty!"}''

'''PEACEY P:''' That's right, y'all Blubb-O heads. The Thick 'n Naaaaaaasty. ''{grunts}''

''{The camera pans right until a picture of Peacy P's mouth, with gold teeth with "THICK 'N NASTY" engraved on them, fills the screen with another speech bubble saying "eeungh!" The camera then cuts to the image of the Blubb-O's logo with "YOU GUESSED IT...WE'RE CALLED BLUBB-O'S" written below it.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Blubb-O's. You guessed it, we're called Blubb-O's.

''{Small lightning symbols start coming out of the logo's whale's mouth, and a speech bubble appears briefly saying "REGISTER DOES NOT CONTAIN MORE THAN FIFTY DOCTORS." The logo shifts slightly, and rubbery sounds are heard, as if the logo were on a balloon.}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Register does not contain more than fifty doctors.

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the whale's spout to see Bubs ordering burgers.
:''{An angry Bubs is seen through the grill of the Drive-Thru Whale.}''
:'''BUBS:''' No, I will not slice my fingers thin! I just wanna dang hambroiger!
:''{Cut to see Bubs in the [[Gremlin]], without wheels and on cinder blocks, pulled up next to the Drive-Thru Whale.}''
:'''BUBS:''' I got places to be, man!
:'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' You're living a lie. Would you like cash back?

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The name "Isosceles Fish Sandwich" is a play on an [[Wikipedia:Triangle#Types of triangles|isosceles triangle]], a triangle with two of its three sides identical in length.
*"HMS" is a British Naval designation used on ships, standing for [[Wikipedia:Her Majesty's Ship|Her Majesty's Ship]] or [[Wikipedia:His Majesty's Ship|His Majesty's Ship]] depending on the gender of the monarch.
*Drive-Thru Whale's line "register does not contain more than fifty doctors," is a corruption of "register does not contain more than fifty dollars", a notice similar to one that businesses or restaurants might display to deter robbery.

===Trivia===
*The Blubb-O's menu behind Homestar reads:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|BLUBBO CLASSIC || 1.99 || NUDULES || 5.99
|-
|THE ORIGINAL || 2.99 || KETCHUP PACKET || 6.99
|-
|THE REGULAR || 3.99 || COFFEE STIRRER || 7.99
|-
|THE NEW ORIGINAL || 4.99 || GRAIN OF SALT || 8.99
|}
*Originally, each vegetable was cut as soon as it went through the waterfall, but this was changed soon after the toon was uploaded, so that they all get washed and then chopped separately.
*The background shown on the loading screen and during the scenes that show the burgers and the vegetables is the same background used for [[Puppet Stuff]], with red instead of blue.

===Remarks===
*According to [[road trip]], Bubs should not have been able to open the Gremlin's windows from the inside, and none of the car's external features suggest they could be opened from outside the vehicle.

===Goofs===
*When The Cheat turns around to talk to Strong Bad in the HMS Locash, his lower back (or leg) pokes outside the box.

===Inside References===
*"Would you like to try a combo meal...?" was the Drive-Thru Whale's first line in [[Drive-Thru]].
*Strong Mad was shown holding a Blubb-O's bag in [[nightlife]].
*"I'll chop off your legs!" is a variation of "Sever your leg please, sir", and the background music is a variation of the Whale's music from [[Drive-Thru]].
*The term "meltshake" was first used in [[road trip]].
*Strong Bad is wearing his [[Archibald]] costume from [[A Decemberween Pageant]] when attempting to harpoon Strong Sad. 
*Bubs saying he wants "a dang hambroiger" is an instance of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
*"Nudules" were last mentioned in [[from work]]. There they were also associated with whales.
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]], and so does [[Strong Mad Smiling|Strong Mad]].
*Homestar's greeting is "Welcome the [[crap]] to Blubb-O's."

===Real-World References===
*Sandwiches named "The Original", "The Regular" and "The New Original" may be a reference to the pseudo-band [[Spinal Tap]]. Early in their history they changed their name to The New Originals when they discovered that The Originals was already in use. According to the band, The Originals later changed their name to The Regulars.
*The Attempt-At-Competing-With-National-Coffee-Chains Premium Mocha-Chip Meltshake is a reference to how many fast food outlets, like [[Wikipedia:McDonald's|McDonald's]], are touting their new "high-quality" coffee drinks as a way of competing with [[Wikipedia:Starbucks|Starbucks]].
*The sign on Strong Bad's cardboard box boat reads "HMS Locash", a reference to the movie [[Wikipedia:CB4|CB4]], a mockumentary about a fictional rap group that became famous for the song "Straight Outta Locash". Locash is also the name of the town the band started from.
*The phrase "Save the Blubb-O Whale", which appears on Marzipan's protest signs, is derived from the name of [http://www.savethewhales.org/ Save the Whales], a non-profit organization founded in 1977 which focuses on marine mammal welfare.
*The Thick 'n Nasty is a parody of the [[Wikipedia:Big N' Tasty|Big N' Tasty]], a hamburger from McDonalds that was designed to compete with [[Wikipedia:Burger King|Burger King]]'s Whopper. The Peacey P endorsement is likely a parody of [[Wikipedia:Kobe Bryant|Kobe Bryant]] endorsing the Big N' Tasty.
