== Auto Log Out? ==

I occasionally am logged out for no reason when I don't click the "log out" button. Do we have an automatic log out or something, or is there some glitch in the server? [[User:DrPepper42|DrPepper42]] 19:31, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
:Maybe your cookies expired. Happens to me on occasion. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:38, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
::Maybe. I didn't know that could happen. Which isn't that unusual. Thanks! {{User: DrPepper42/sig}} 21:14, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

== Background Image ==

Okay, some questions about the greyscale field background: 
#Where is the actual file located? 
#Is there any interest in replacing it with the most up-to-date field/sky that TBC have been using?
#*If so, is there any interest in manipulating it to be a "tiling" background so that it would be seamless for use on any resolution?
#*If not, can we resize the existing one so that it's at least 1280 pixels wide? (1440 pixels wide would be my preference, actually)
Yes, most articles are large enough that the background is almost never seen, but for "young" talk pages it'd be nice for the background to get ''some'' pleasing visibility. IMHO. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 07:46, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
:It's at [http://www.hrwiki.org/skins/monobook/headbg-kb.jpg www.hrwiki.org/skins/monobook/headbg-kb.jpg], 1250 pixels wide and 24kB large. My screen is 1680 pixels wide, and I don't think I noticed the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&oldid=571751 awkward tiling] until now. I don't think we should make the image wider. It will increase the file size, and who knows when the next user comes with an even wider screen. But yeah, a version that repeats seamlessly ''would'' look better and might even reduce the file size. Having said that, I don't think it's too important to change, either ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 10:50, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
::Also, the image right now is 523 pixels in height. I don't think many HRWiki'ers use 800x600, so its height could be increased too, by adding to the sky... and there's plenty of sky to work with. That would make the field visible on the screen for longer. And having an increased-size jpeg can't be ''that'' much bigger. But unlike any given article image, I guess it is a file that's loaded by thousands more people so maybe that little increase could be a big deal. Anyway, a tiled background wouldn't be entirely authentic to TBC's work but could still make sense. And yes, I know it's not too important to change it, but I'm always [[User:OptimisticFool#WANTED|asking]] for a challenge (of the image variety). I'm going to play around with it for a bit. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:02, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Hey! I use 800x600, and I like it! Well, that's when I'm on my computer. No idea what the resolution is on my TV when I'm on my Wii. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
:::::Are you [[Dislike of Old People|60+]] or do you just have bad eyesight? =] {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:53, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
::::I'm pretty sure the Wii's Internet Channel emulates an 800x600 screen as well. As for the tiling background issue, it definitely would look better if it were either widened or changed so that the tiling is seamless, though I don't think it's too important to change, as there aren't many pages on the wiki where we end up seeing the entire background image. {{User:Kilroy/sig}} 18:07, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::The Widescreen setting on the Wii makes the resolution something else. Though my laptop is Hi-Definition. (which is wide) {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 18:13, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::For your information, I prefer not to have everything on my screen about the size of a grain of sand, and I have excellent eyesight. And I do set my Wii to widescreen. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

::::::::''{adds another colon anyway :D}'' Actually when you set the Wii to widescreen mode, the screen width stays at 800, but the height is changed to something else.. I think it lowers it to around 450 or something. Oh, and I have my Wii set to widescreen mode and text is, for the most part, readable to me. Though whenever I use the Internet Channel on a standard-def TV, the text definitely is grain-of-sand sized. :S {{User:Kilroy/sig}} 20:39, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Here's [[:Image:Field.png|the tile]] and [http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/2048/fieldtiledtr0.png this is what it looks like tiled].

:::Awesome job, OptimisticFool! {{User:Kilroy/sig}} 19:46, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the support so far, juys. Now here's what I suggest: Replace [http://www.hrwiki.org/skins/monobook/headbg-kb.jpg this 23.5k jpeg] with [http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/1783/fieldgreyxd2.png this 11.2k png], thus turning [http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/3047/fullbeforeiu5.png this] into [http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/7641/fullafterpl8.png this]. I added some extra cloudless space at the top of the greyscaled image since it will always be completely covered up. (There are two exceptions (that I can think of) to this: (1) someone blanks a page completely, and (2) a <nowiki><pre></nowiki> goes long, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&oldid=571744 like this] (hint: scroll right).) So, yeah, the extra space allows the background to be visible for longer. Any other suggestions? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 07:38, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

== Accepted Spelling ==

I think the wiki ought to be consistent in its spelling. Recently the spelling of [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Weclome_Back&diff=prev&oldid=573690 donut/doughnut] reminded me of this. Another one is [[Talk:bedtime story#Gummi vs. Gummy|gummi/gummy]]. Has the broad subject of consistency in spelling been brought up before? I think it kind of goes in the category of flavor/flavour, as well. Another one that comes to mind is y'all/ya'll. So, do we or should we have a page to list our "decisions" regarding spelling, with its accompanying talk page available to reach a consensus for each of these and others? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 23:02, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
:Such things would probably go under [[HRWiki:Manual of Style#Spelling]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:32, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
::As a general rule, we spell it like TBC do. If they have not spelled it out, or they have been inconsistent (and we always agree with their spelling in related situations) then we generally use the most accepted spelling based on what evidence we can collect. "Doughnut", IMO, trumps "donut" which is clearly a shortened, slang form. "Y'all" is the correct form; however, we use "ya'll" when TBC do. And obviously American spellings are used over British. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:37, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
:::I don't agree with you on the spelling of donut.. =] ..but my purpose in bringing this up here was not to gain consensus, but rather to find out where I ought to take these questions of spelling.

Is it just me, or does the rando link, and R on the main pages not work more than normal. This also affects sbemail menu. I constantly can't do rando junk because of it. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== Timeline/Historical Dates for homestarrunner.com ==

As someone interested in reconstructing the history of how the Bros Chaps developed the Homestar universe and website, I would really like to see a feature on the wiki that would list all the content according to the date when it was first added to the Homestar website.

Most articles do currently feature dates, but to my knowledge there's no page where the cartoons and other material on the Homestar website are listed by date.

I'm not an advanced Wiki person, so I've no idea how much work would be involved, but it strikes me as a really vital resource for the wiki.

== Search Engine Addition In Firefox ==

Firefox cuts off the search engine name, and labels it as '''Homestar Runner Wiki (En''' is there any discussion or whatnot to have the name of the wiki shortened so that it fits? Because it's annoying to see that I can still add '''Homestar Runner Wiki (English)''' to the search engines list (The search box also says a new search engine can be added even though I've already added this engine.) You can always bring it up over at Mozilla.com's bugzilla or something, but I'm sure the bug will immediately be marked as invalid. I'm also sure they'll mark it as an invalid enhancement, and state that "The website can shorten its name, there's NO reason why it isn't possible for them to shorten that name."

For instance, Why not use HRWiki as a name? {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:I don't get why it should annoy you. That being said, there's no reason for the wiki to shorten its title to something less descriptive just so you can have the full name in your search bar. If you care so much, download the source code to firefox and change the code yourself. As for the "Add Homestar Runner Wiki (English)" still being there, that happens with all search engines. Go to any site that you already have on that list, it will do the same thing. Basically, none of what you said has anything to do with us. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:42, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
::[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qX8bZASFNA I have to disagree] with the very last statement there. I'll make it harder for you to see (with this youtube video) since you apparently haven't seen it yourself. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::Fine, you're apparently right. It doesn't happen on other sites. It's still a result of something that has nothing to do with us. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:08, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

::::(edit conflict) <strike>The "Add Homestar Runner Wiki" thing at the bottom is there because Firefox is detecting a search box on the current page. For example, go to any random page that has a search box on it, (say, https://addons.mozilla.org/) Check that drop-down and you'll see what I mean.</strike> (Post edit conflict note: the other issue is aethetic, the name for the wiki is wider than the space Firefox displays it in). {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 02:14, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
:::::Ignore the first part, I see the problem now. I'm guessing that because the truncated string doesn't match the full string, Firefox doesn't properly detect that you've ''already'' added the search. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 02:17, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
::::::Qermaq, it's an issue that the firefox search bar only allows names of up to 24 characters. He's suggesting that the wiki shorten its name so it fits, inconveniencing others but fixing his minor annoyance. GreenGuy, no, he's saying it's there even though he's added it already. He's right, this bug in FF causes this as well, but it's a FF problem, and i don't see any reason for the wiki to change to suit one person with one glitchy program. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:17, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I see the issue. It's not an issue. It's just a bug in FF3 and will likely be corrected down the road. I fail to see the negative consequence of this behavior, though.

Tabacco: /* Scope */

== Scope ==

So, I'm not sure how in-depth we should go on this page. I don't think it makes sense to transcribe all the blog entries — there's no reason to completely substitute the material people can go to the telltale.com page to view. I think giving a summary of each entry with an image, title, etc. would be good, and we can note any inside references, RWRs, etc. in the Fun Facts section. I dunno, maybe this page can be presented in a better way, but I've gotten it started.

On the other hand, I don't know if the Telltale page is going to be around permanently, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to have the transcripts backed up on somebody's computer... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:33, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

::Great! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 09:04, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
:::I agree: as long as the site is up, keep it very brief (we don't transcribe [[Strong Sad's Lament]], and I think this would fall much of the same category). But if/when the Telltale site misappears, I think transcription would be more okay. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 09:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People

''"YOU ARE Strong Bad in this point-and-click-em-up adventure from Videlectrix and Telltale Games (they bought us lunch even!) of the WiiWare for the Wii in your house"'' — [[Videlectrix]]

'''''Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People''''' (''SBCG4AP'') is an episodic series of games developed by [[Telltale Games]] for the PC and [[Nintendo#Wii|WiiWare]] platforms. The series was announced by a [http://www.telltalegames.com/company/pressreleases/id-65 press release] on April 10, 2008, followed shortly by an [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Advertisement|advertisement]] on [[homestarrunner.com]] and [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Gameplay Trailer|a trailer]] and screenshots on the Telltale Games website.

The game is being produced in full collaboration with [[The Brothers Chaps]] and [[Videlectrix]], with [[Matt Chapman]] and [[Missy Chapman]] providing the voice acting. The 3D animation in the game is being rendered by Telltale's animators with attention to preservation of the look and feel of the 2D Flash cartoons.

This game will be divided into five episodes released in intervals of one month, the first of which is scheduled to be released in June 2008. Each episode will be downloadable through the [[Wikipedia:Wii Shop Channel|Wii Shop Channel]] or through Telltale's website at a yet-to-be-determined cost. A [http://telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4898 bundle] of the full series will be purchasable for the PC, but not for the Wii.

A week and a half before the game was announced, actual gameplay footage from the game was featured in the [[YouTube]] video [[Strong Bad Gameways]]. Despite the flashing message on the screen, "ACTUAL GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE", it was unknown whether or not such a 3D game was actually in the works, until Telltale Games announced the game and confirmed that the Strong Bad Gameways footage was from it. According to a [[IGN Interview - 14 April 2008|later interview]], the game had been been discussed for over a year. It was finalized when [[Nintendo]] announced the WiiWare system.

In April 11, the gaming website IGN [http://wii.ign.com/articles/865/865974p1.html covered] the Nintendo Summit and several demo demonstrations of WiiWare. One of the demos was SBCG4AP, and they reported about the beginning of the game. Apparently the game starts in Strong Bad's house where he sings about his [[style]]. The first character interaction is with [[Homestar Runner]], who sits on [[The Couch]] looking sad because he was caught without [[Homestar Runner's pants|pants]]. In addition to the main plot, you can also [[kick The Cheat]] into the dryer, read emails and [[Snake Boxer 5|box against snakes]]. With a cell phone Strong Bad can prank call [[Marzipan]] or other characters. There will be "Choose Your Own Adventure" style [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics. The game also will reportedly use the WiiConnect24 online system, allowing players to interact with other users, but the details haven't been finalized yet.

In the demo presentation it was shown that the game is a point-and-click type of game. The dialog is chosen with icons representing the topics. It was promised that each episode will have at least one mini-game, like the boxing one.

Should "MiiWare" be a considerable reference to Miis? --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
: Actually, for all we know, Strong Bad meant Me-Ware, not Mii-Ware. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Title Change? ==

In the TV Time Toons Menu, it's listed under "SBCG4AP," just like the HTML file for it. Should we move the article when we get the transcript done? --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Rabid dog? ==

I hear "rabbit dog", not "rabid dog" as one of the Real World Refs calls it. On second though, we should probably wait until the transcript is done. [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 21:48, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:Funny, I hear that too. But I'm not sure it makes enough sense to put down. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::I think it does. Sam is way more of a "rabbit" dog (a hybrid of a rabbit and a dog, with his vaguely bunnyish ears) than a "rabid" dog. [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 21:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Ooh, insider information; it's "rabbit dog": [http://telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4875&page=2]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:27, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Glitch? ==

Is this thing playing choppy on anyone else's computers as well? It's still funnier than rated though. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
*What parts are choppy? Or is it just occasional? --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 22:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:I didn't notice any glitchy problems, but I did notice a big increase in the frame rate. {{User:Super Turtle/sig}} 22:19, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

:This swf is streaming off of our (Telltale's) CDN instead of TBC's servers since the whole thing is pretty big. It may be that it was the increased size that sabotaged you.
::You're not alone. The trailer constantly stutters on my computer, especially when Homestar turns up. (''"A-w m-a-n, t-hi-s d-an-g ol-' re-mo-t-e c-o-nt-r-ol..."'') Once again, I point the blame squarely at the server. If this is the case, then all we can do is come back later and try again. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Plus, if you look at your statusbar closely, the preloader doesn't preload the whole movie before the movie starts. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::::Ok, since the movie plays before the entire trailer is finished loading, I've found a solution to the stuttering: start the trailer, then turn off your speakers and do something else for five minutes. Once the trailer has finally loaded and played through once, go back and play the trailer again. Because the movie has been temporarily downloaded and stored in the computer's memory, it should now play smoothly. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== What dimension? ==

I'm actually not listening right now, as now isn't an opportune time, but wouldn't it make more sense for Strong Bad to give the "3 Ds" as "'''''Depth''''', Dimension, and Dumb idiots"? Or at least something that begins with a D? "Yeah" seems out of context. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:Corrected. It didn't make much sense, but I had trouble hearing that - now you say "Depth" it makes perfect sense and sounds right. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 22:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== SOOOOOOOOOOoo fast! ==

Is it just me, or did the things in this "commercial" move faster than most homestar stuff?
:Yes, things seem to move "faster" due to the higher framerate as stated in the Trivia section. I only wish they would use this all the time. Looks so much better. Probably requires a lot more work though. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 05:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::Yep. TBC have talked about this in interviews 'n stuff. [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007]] comes to mind; here's a quote from that:
<blockquote>
'''MIKE:''' Um, and that's how we learned to animate, so we have rarely...done a few things at 18 or 24 frames a second, and of course it takes us way longer, so we, we stick with 12.
</blockquote>
::Good thing to watch if you haven't watched it already. And as far as I'm concerned, they can keep doing it at 12 if it means a new cartoon just about every week (as they mention in that public appearance). {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:::I would definitely rather have faster updates than faster framerates {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 08:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Agreed with Joshr915. I'd love faster updates too. Although with faster framerates, it means tweens/etc. have to be on the movie set for longer. When you lower the framerate, they don't have to be on as long. I think it may have something to do with the fact that TBC wants to not have their movies over a certain filesize too. More frames means bigger size. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== They're not serious, are they? ==

...are they? --{{User:Haldo/sig}} 23:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:We're totally serious :) --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 23:14, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::Wow! {{User:Haldo/sig}}

== Let me guess...==

...some really late and meticulous April Fools day prank? {{unsigned|Del20nd|00:33, 11 April 2008}}

:I really don't understand why you people don't understand reality is reality. This is '''REAL''', and it is '''REALLY''' going to happen. They have the press release, which states it's real. TBC have contributed, and TellTale games went to a lot of freakin' trouble makin' this, I'm going to guess. TBC didn't make those graphics by themselves, and one company wouldn't go to that much trouble putting what I'm guessing was around about 3-6 months into just making 3d graphics and screenshots, pages on their official website, etc., for like, 2 cartoons about 3 minutes long a piece. If this isn't real, than somebody call me cap'n of the gravy train, and shoot me hard with a water-pistol. Not that that would hurt anyway, but still: THIS WILL HAPPEN. I guarantee it. [[User:DevonM|DevonM]] 00:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::As will I :) --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 00:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::it's an ok argument, DevonM, except those people went into a lot of freaking effort for that "legend of zelda" movie trailer, and ''that's'' not going anywhere (really wish it was, though) --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 03:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::But there's also the fact that... um... IT'S NOT APRIL FIRST. Seriously, this is why I hate the internet and magazines with regard to April Fool's Day, you start getting accusations of early jokes and late jokes, and people posting stuff later on thinking it's true, causing other people to think it's true until they find out the source... Jokes should only be ON April 1st. So no, this is real. -[[User:ComputerBox|ComputerBox]] 03:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

On a second note, you an clearly see the game "Coming soon" in the wii games on the games page. [[User:F123979|F123979]]
:ya, not to mention I've already seen this on a billion news blogs already. Should be sweet and extra real :P

== Real email? ==

Hrm, was just wondering.. is this a real email, or did TBC/Telltale make it up for the purposes of the ad? I guess the same will go for the emails in the game itself, since the trailer shows that you'll be able to see some. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 00:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:We don't know, and we can only speculate - especially about the in-game emails. I'm assuming that the email from this ad is made-up, since it says that this is not a real sbemail.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

==Strong Bad's House==
Forgive me if one of these already exists but... Someone should study that toon and create a layout of Strong Bad's house. Well, at least as complete a diagram as possible with the rooms he showed. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 05:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:Seeing the trailer, I think the layout we saw here is actually going to in-game. (This is just a speculation) I think we shouldn't rush off, since if we wait we can just play the game, and that will be much easier. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::If his whole house is in the game that would definitely be easier, ya. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 08:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

:I also believe the DVDs outline some of his house too. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== Incorrect ==

The folloing remark:

The link at the end of the ad, "learn more at telltalegames.com", was inactive at first, and activated soon after the cartoon's release. Now, however, the link is not clickable at all, neither is the back button next to it. However, it is clickable in the Flash File.

...I believe isn't true. I have watched the toon on the website three times now, and the link to telltalegames.com works, as well as the back button. I am wanting to know what we should do with this knowledge. [[User:Andrewnuva199|Andrewnuva199]] 18:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:If that's the case, then I will add it to the article. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

:It still is unclickable for me, at least in Firefox 2.0.0.13. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::Just checked. Although they highlight, they do not work for me. I am using IE 7. Not added to article after all. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:::It's possible that they used an swfLoader function/file onsite to load an offsite swf. If that's the case, it's no wonder the links won't work; we have this problem on [http://www.sheezyart.com SheezyART] a lot because of that. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

It's working fine for me, even though my iMac is incredably slow and makes this cartoon almost unwatchable. I think it should say that it works on some computers, since that's how it seems to be working. -Ben, who really needs an account here.

==A price?==

Mike and Matt already have my money, how much of it do you think they want? -NoAccount 20:22, 11 April 2008
:The [http://telltalegames.com/strongbad/faq FAQ] says it'll cost similar to their other episodic games... [http://www.telltalegames.com/store/samandmax which generally cost $9 each]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== Greasemonkey Seekbar Errors? ==

Is anyone else finding it impossible to navigate this toon using the Greasemonkey seekbar script?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 08:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:My theory is it is because the Flash file is hosted on another site. The seekbar attempts to work but fails. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
::Your theory is correct. If you host the Flash file and the HTML file on the same site, the seekbar works fine. It's just Flash's security at work... massively oversimplified, it boils down to "stuff from different sites can't interact"... JavaScript stuff, like the GM script, are treated by Flash as if they were part of the HTML page (because, for all it can tell, they ''could'' be)... which was served by www.homestarrunner.com. They're trying to interact with the SWF file, which comes from telltale.vo.llnwd.net. So they're different sites, and Flash severely limits what the JavaScript can access... it can read where the Flash movie is up to (so the seekbar works as a progress bar, subtitles should still work, etc), but you can't seek, or pause, or anything like that. There's not much I can do about it... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== 3D Style ==

The 3D-Style shown throughout the advertisement looks similar to Google's Sketch-Up way of rendering by a lot. Is this notable? (If this were made in blender, it would have taken a long, long, long time to make it so simply.) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:Although I have no clue if this is true or not, I remember reading something on the Telltale FAQ that they made all the stuff in what they call the "Telltale Tool". {{User:DevonM/sig}}
::Although I believe there's no downloads for that tool. You can see other places where they discuss it, like [http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14355 here] and maybe... [http://www.telltalearcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3381 here]. Seems it'll probably be purchase only though. So if I went into the 3D-business, I'd probably use Blender.org's tool. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

:::Correct. The Telltale Tool is our custom developed in-house game engine and development tool. We don't release it for download or purchase. The shipping versions of the game include a very stripped down version of the tool that contains only what is needed to run the game. Blender is something altogether different. For our modelling, we use Maya.

::::Once again, a non-free progrum. (See [http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7635018 here]) I'm amazed that less progrums are free around the webs. -- (Iyeru-Guest)

:::::I'm not really sure why you're concerned that we use non-free software to make the game, but okay. If you desperately want a free copy of Maya fro some reason, you can grab the [http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7639525 Personal Learning Edition] from their website to play with. But again, I'm not sure why it matters. We use Maya, the customer doesn't need it at all.

::::::All I want to know is how easy the Interface is, and how much effort you really are putting into it. So far, I'm not exactly pleased with what I see. Sure, it may be a fun game, but that doesn't mean it's going to go good for you. You're starting to sound rather selfish in my opinion. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

:::::::Man, at this point I'm not even sure what you're talking about. You're confusing the game engine and the tools we use to make the game with the game itself, and somehow confusing the tool used to model characters and environments with the game as well. Playing the game doesn't require that you own Maya, a copy of the Telltale Tool, or anything except the game. As I said before, you seem extremely determined not to buy the game, so I'm not sure why you keep raising a fuss over weird subjects. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 22:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

:::::::What are you talking about Iyeru? You really make no sense whatsoever. Aren't they putting enough effort into it cause they aren't using free software? Are you afraid a too complicated interface makes the developer too selfish? "It may be a fun game, but that doesn't mean it's going to go good for you" sounds like a suggestion to drop the whole thing because... well, why really? Keep in mind that this is no random fangame made by someone with too much time on their hands, but a serious company that has developed several games and are officially working together with the brothers.

==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">

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 one of two washing machines, 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!

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

'''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 going to 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. As the viewer can see, Homestar's mouth does not appear to be moving in great 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].
*The link at the end of the ad, "[http://telltalegames.com/strongbad learn more at telltalegames.com]", was inactive at first, and activated soon after the cartoon's release. Now, however, the link is not clickable at all, neither is the back button next to it. However, it is clickable in the [http://telltale.vo.llnwd.net/o15/videos/sbcg4ap/3Dtrailer.swf Flash File].
*[[Strong Sad's Room|Strong Sad's room]] is now to the left of Strong Bad's computer desk, rather than to the right as seen in [[gimmicks]].
*The [[TV Time Toons Menu]] for [[HR:menuswfs/menu_sbcg4ap.swf|the toon]] is in its usual 12 frames per second, while it's 30 in the toon itself.
*This cartoon was the first of two promotional videos released on the same day to advertise ''Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People'', the other being a [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Gameplay Trailer|gameplay trailer]].
* 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.

===Glitches===
*The cartoon will not load properly when viewed using the Wii. Most of the scenes will show only a blank white screen and some of the texts in the entire cartoon are missing. Trogdor is missing during the Trogdor: Let's Burninate Phonics (but fire still burninates the schwa). The last scene doesn't show most of Bubs' Concession Stand, Strong Mad's Body is missing (but his face and limbs are still showing) and only Coach Z's arms show up.

Tabacco: /* 3D Style */

== NES poster ==

Man, there are so many awesome Inside References in this! Temporarios, Suge Brown, the plaques from [[no loafing]], and the Videlectrix poster in the stairwell is a parody of [http://trsrockin.com/images/powerposter.jpg this NES poster]! I probably have 15 of those in a box somewhere :D {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

::As a side-note, the poster depicted above, and the one Trey linked to, are actually different.

Interesting... -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Yeah, I noticed that too... my guess is that there are a bunch of variants with different games. I should see if I have any ones that are different... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:02, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:::At that, does anyone know which games are depicted on the Videlectrix poster? I can see [[Secret Collect.]], [[StrongBadZone]] and [[RhinoFeeder]], and [[Thy Dungeonman]] in the upper left... [[Thy Dungeonman II]] and [[Thy Dungeonman 3]] on the upper right, and I think I see [[Pigs on Head]] in the lower left corner... any others? -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

:::Plus, if you look at your statusbar closely, the preloader doesn't preload the whole movie before the movie starts. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::::Ok, since the movie plays before the entire trailer is finished loading, I've found a solution to the stuttering: start the trailer, then turn off your speakers and do something else for five minutes. Once the trailer has finally loaded and played through once, go back and play the trailer again. Because the movie has been temporarily downloaded and stored in the computer's memory, it should now play smoothly. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== What dimension? ==

I'm actually not listening right now, as now isn't an opportune time, but wouldn't it make more sense for Strong Bad to give the "3 Ds" as "'''''Depth''''', Dimension, and Dumb idiots"? Or at least something that begins with a D? "Yeah" seems out of context. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:Corrected. It didn't make much sense, but I had trouble hearing that - now you say "Depth" it makes perfect sense and sounds right. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 22:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== SOOOOOOOOOOoo fast! ==

Is it just me, or did the things in this "commercial" move faster than most homestar stuff?
:Yes, things seem to move "faster" due to the higher framerate as stated in the Trivia section. I only wish they would use this all the time. Looks so much better. Probably requires a lot more work though. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 05:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::Yep. TBC have talked about this in interviews 'n stuff. [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007]] comes to mind; here's a quote from that:
<blockquote>
'''MIKE:''' Um, and that's how we learned to animate, so we have rarely...done a few things at 18 or 24 frames a second, and of course it takes us way longer, so we, we stick with 12.
</blockquote>
::Good thing to watch if you haven't watched it already. And as far as I'm concerned, they can keep doing it at 12 if it means a new cartoon just about every week (as they mention in that public appearance). {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:::I would definitely rather have faster updates than faster framerates {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 08:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Agreed with Joshr915. I'd love faster updates too. Although with faster framerates, it means tweens/etc. have to be on the movie set for longer. When you lower the framerate, they don't have to be on as long. I think it may have something to do with the fact that TBC wants to not have their movies over a certain filesize too. More frames means bigger size. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== They're not serious, are they? ==

...are they? --{{User:Haldo/sig}} 23:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:We're totally serious :) --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 23:14, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::Wow! {{User:Haldo/sig}}

== Let me guess...==

...some really late and meticulous April Fools day prank? {{unsigned|Del20nd|00:33, 11 April 2008}}

:I really don't understand why you people don't understand reality is reality. This is '''REAL''', and it is '''REALLY''' going to happen. They have the press release, which states it's real. TBC have contributed, and TellTale games went to a lot of freakin' trouble makin' this, I'm going to guess. TBC didn't make those graphics by themselves, and one company wouldn't go to that much trouble putting what I'm guessing was around about 3-6 months into just making 3d graphics and screenshots, pages on their official website, etc., for like, 2 cartoons about 3 minutes long a piece. If this isn't real, than somebody call me cap'n of the gravy train, and shoot me hard with a water-pistol. Not that that would hurt anyway, but still: THIS WILL HAPPEN. I guarantee it. [[User:DevonM|DevonM]] 00:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::As will I :) --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 00:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::it's an ok argument, DevonM, except those people went into a lot of freaking effort for that "legend of zelda" movie trailer, and ''that's'' not going anywhere (really wish it was, though) --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 03:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::But there's also the fact that... um... IT'S NOT APRIL FIRST. Seriously, this is why I hate the internet and magazines with regard to April Fool's Day, you start getting accusations of early jokes and late jokes, and people posting stuff later on thinking it's true, causing other people to think it's true until they find out the source... Jokes should only be ON April 1st. So no, this is real. -[[User:ComputerBox|ComputerBox]] 03:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

On a second note, you an clearly see the game "Coming soon" in the wii games on the games page. [[User:F123979|F123979]]
:ya, not to mention I've already seen this on a billion news blogs already. Should be sweet and extra real :P

== Real email? ==

Hrm, was just wondering.. is this a real email, or did TBC/Telltale make it up for the purposes of the ad? I guess the same will go for the emails in the game itself, since the trailer shows that you'll be able to see some. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 00:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:We don't know, and we can only speculate - especially about the in-game emails. I'm assuming that the email from this ad is made-up, since it says that this is not a real sbemail.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

==Strong Bad's House==
Forgive me if one of these already exists but... Someone should study that toon and create a layout of Strong Bad's house. Well, at least as complete a diagram as possible with the rooms he showed. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 05:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:Seeing the trailer, I think the layout we saw here is actually going to in-game. (This is just a speculation) I think we shouldn't rush off, since if we wait we can just play the game, and that will be much easier. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::If his whole house is in the game that would definitely be easier, ya. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 08:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

:I also believe the DVDs outline some of his house too. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== Incorrect ==

The folloing remark:

The link at the end of the ad, "learn more at telltalegames.com", was inactive at first, and activated soon after the cartoon's release. Now, however, the link is not clickable at all, neither is the back button next to it. However, it is clickable in the Flash File.

...I believe isn't true. I have watched the toon on the website three times now, and the link to telltalegames.com works, as well as the back button. I am wanting to know what we should do with this knowledge. [[User:Andrewnuva199|Andrewnuva199]] 18:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:If that's the case, then I will add it to the article. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

:It still is unclickable for me, at least in Firefox 2.0.0.13. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::Just checked. Although they highlight, they do not work for me. I am using IE 7. Not added to article after all. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:::It's possible that they used an swfLoader function/file onsite to load an offsite swf. If that's the case, it's no wonder the links won't work; we have this problem on [http://www.sheezyart.com SheezyART] a lot because of that. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

It's working fine for me, even though my iMac is incredably slow and makes this cartoon almost unwatchable. I think it should say that it works on some computers, since that's how it seems to be working. -Ben, who really needs an account here.

==A price?==

Mike and Matt already have my money, how much of it do you think they want? -NoAccount 20:22, 11 April 2008
:The [http://telltalegames.com/strongbad/faq FAQ] says it'll cost similar to their other episodic games... [http://www.telltalegames.com/store/samandmax which generally cost $9 each]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== Greasemonkey Seekbar Errors? ==

Is anyone else finding it impossible to navigate this toon using the Greasemonkey seekbar script?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 08:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:My theory is it is because the Flash file is hosted on another site. The seekbar attempts to work but fails. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
::Your theory is correct. If you host the Flash file and the HTML file on the same site, the seekbar works fine. It's just Flash's security at work... massively oversimplified, it boils down to "stuff from different sites can't interact"... JavaScript stuff, like the GM script, are treated by Flash as if they were part of the HTML page (because, for all it can tell, they ''could'' be)... which was served by www.homestarrunner.com. They're trying to interact with the SWF file, which comes from telltale.vo.llnwd.net. So they're different sites, and Flash severely limits what the JavaScript can access... it can read where the Flash movie is up to (so the seekbar works as a progress bar, subtitles should still work, etc), but you can't seek, or pause, or anything like that. There's not much I can do about it... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== 3D Style ==

The 3D-Style shown throughout the advertisement looks similar to Google's Sketch-Up way of rendering by a lot. Is this notable? (If this were made in blender, it would have taken a long, long, long time to make it so simply.) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:Although I have no clue if this is true or not, I remember reading something on the Telltale FAQ that they made all the stuff in what they call the "Telltale Tool". {{User:DevonM/sig}}
::Although I believe there's no downloads for that tool. You can see other places where they discuss it, like [http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14355 here] and maybe... [http://www.telltalearcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3381 here]. Seems it'll probably be purchase only though. So if I went into the 3D-business, I'd probably use Blender.org's tool. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

:::Correct. The Telltale Tool is our custom developed in-house game engine and development tool. We don't release it for download or purchase. The shipping versions of the game include a very stripped down version of the tool that contains only what is needed to run the game. Blender is something altogether different. For our modelling, we use Maya.

::::Once again, a non-free progrum. (See [http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7635018 here]) I'm amazed that less progrums are free around the webs. -- (Iyeru-Guest)

:::::I'm not really sure why you're concerned that we use non-free software to make the game, but okay. If you desperately want a free copy of Maya fro some reason, you can grab the [http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7639525 Personal Learning Edition] from their website to play with. But again, I'm not sure why it matters. We use Maya, the customer doesn't need it at all.

::::::All I want to know is how easy the Interface is, and how much effort you really are putting into it. So far, I'm not exactly pleased with what I see. Sure, it may be a fun game, but that doesn't mean it's going to go good for you. You're starting to sound rather selfish in my opinion. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

:::::::You sound extremely confused to me, I'm sorry to say. You're confusing the game engine and the tools we use to make the game with the game itself, and somehow confusing the tool used to model characters and environments with the game as well. Playing the game doesn't require that you own Maya, a copy of the Telltale Tool, or anything except the game. As I said before, you seem extremely determined not to buy the game, so I'm not sure why you keep raising a fuss over weird subjects. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 22:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

:::::::What are you talking about Iyeru? You really make no sense whatsoever. Aren't they putting enough effort into it cause they aren't using free software? Are you afraid a too complicated interface makes the developer too selfish? "It may be a fun game, but that doesn't mean it's going to go good for you" sounds like a suggestion to drop the whole thing because... well, why really? Keep in mind that this is no random fangame made by someone with too much time on their hands, but a serious company that has developed several games and are officially working together with the brothers.

:I really don't understand why you people don't understand reality is reality. This is '''REAL''', and it is '''REALLY''' going to happen. They have the press release, which states it's real. TBC have contributed, and TellTale games went to a lot of freakin' trouble makin' this, I'm going to guess. TBC didn't make those graphics by themselves, and one company wouldn't go to that much trouble putting what I'm guessing was around about 3-6 months into just making 3d graphics and screenshots, pages on their official website, etc., for like, 2 cartoons about 3 minutes long a piece. If this isn't real, than somebody call me cap'n of the gravy train, and shoot me hard with a water-pistol. Not that that would hurt anyway, but still: THIS WILL HAPPEN. I guarantee it.

::But there's also the fact that... um... IT'S NOT APRIL FIRST. Seriously, this is why I hate the internet and magazines with regard to April Fool's Day, you start getting accusations of early jokes and late jokes, and people posting stuff later on thinking it's true, causing other people to think it's true until they find out the source... Jokes should only be ON April 1st. So no, this is real. -[[User:ComputerBox|ComputerBox]] 03:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

:ya, not to mention I've already seen this on a billion news blogs already. Should be sweet and extra real :P

== Real email? ==

Hrm, was just wondering.. is this a real email, or did TBC/Telltale make it up for the purposes of the ad? I guess the same will go for the emails in the game itself, since the trailer shows that you'll be able to see some. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 00:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

==Strong Bad's House==
Forgive me if one of these already exists but... Someone should study that toon and create a layout of Strong Bad's house. Well, at least as complete a diagram as possible with the rooms he showed. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 05:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::Your theory is correct. If you host the Flash file and the HTML file on the same site, the seekbar works fine. It's just Flash's security at work... massively oversimplified, it boils down to "stuff from different sites can't interact"... JavaScript stuff, like the GM script, are treated by Flash as if they were part of the HTML page (because, for all it can tell, they ''could'' be)... which was served by www.homestarrunner.com. They're trying to interact with the SWF file, which comes from telltale.vo.llnwd.net. So they're different sites, and Flash severely limits what the JavaScript can access... it can read where the Flash movie is up to (so the seekbar works as a progress bar, subtitles should still work, etc), but you can't seek, or pause, or anything like that. There's not much I can do about it... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== 3D Style ==

The 3D-Style shown throughout the advertisement looks similar to Google's Sketch-Up way of rendering by a lot. Is this notable? (If this were made in blender, it would have taken a long, long, long time to make it so simply.) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:Although I have no clue if this is true or not, I remember reading something on the Telltale FAQ that they made all the stuff in what they call the "Telltale Tool". {{User:DevonM/sig}}

[http://www.telltalearcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3381 here]. Seems it'll probably be purchase only though. So if I went into the 3D-business, I'd probably use Blender.org's tool. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

:::Correct. The Telltale Tool is our custom developed in-house game engine and development tool. We don't release it for download or purchase. The shipping versions of the game include a very stripped down version of the tool that contains only what is needed to run the game. Blender is something altogether different. For our modelling, we use Maya.

::::Once again, a non-free progrum. (See [http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7635018 here]) I'm amazed that less progrums are free around the webs. -- (Iyeru-Guest)

:::::I'm not really sure why you're concerned that we use non-free software to make the game, but okay. If you desperately want a free copy of Maya fro some reason, you can grab the [http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7639525 Personal Learning Edition] from their website to play with. But again, I'm not sure why it matters. We use Maya, the customer doesn't need it at all.

::::::All I want to know is how easy the Interface is, and how much effort you really are putting into it. So far, I'm not exactly pleased with what I see. Sure, it may be a fun game, but that doesn't mean it's going to go good for you. You're starting to sound rather selfish in my opinion. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

:::::::You sound extremely confused to me, I'm sorry to say. You're confusing the game engine and the tools we use to make the game with the game itself, and somehow confusing the tool used to model characters and environments with the game as well. Playing the game doesn't require that you own Maya, a copy of the Telltale Tool, or anything except the game. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 22:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

:::::::What are you talking about Iyeru? You really make no sense whatsoever. Aren't they putting enough effort into it cause they aren't using free software? Are you afraid a too complicated interface makes the developer too selfish? "It may be a fun game, but that doesn't mean it's going to go good for you" sounds like a suggestion to drop the whole thing because... well, why really? Keep in mind that this is no random fangame made by someone with too much time on their hands, but a serious company that has developed several games and are officially working together with the brothers.

== NES poster ==

Man, there are so many awesome Inside References in this! Temporarios, Suge Brown, the plaques from [[no loafing]], and the Videlectrix poster in the stairwell is a parody of [http://trsrockin.com/images/powerposter.jpg this NES poster]! I probably have 15 of those in a box somewhere :D {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:VidelectrixPoster.png|162px]][[Image:NES poster Now You're Playing With Power.jpg|140px]]
::As a side-note, the poster depicted above, and the one Trey linked to, are actually different. Most notably to me, being a longtime RPG fan, the middle left side of Trey's picture shows Dragon Warrior and Faxanadu, while the one in the comparison shot has Metroid and Kid Icarus. Interesting... -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

:::At that, does anyone know which games are depicted on the Videlectrix poster? I can see [[Secret Collect.]], [[StrongBadZone]] and [[RhinoFeeder]], and [[Thy Dungeonman]] in the upper left... [[Thy Dungeonman II]] and [[Thy Dungeonman 3]] on the upper right, and I think I see [[Pigs on Head]] in the lower left corner... any others? -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

All right, I got it now...

Upper left corner:
[[Secret Collect.]], [[StrongBadZone]], [[RhinoFeeder]]
[[Thy Dungeonman]], [[50k Racewalker]]

Upper right corner:
[[Thy Dungeonman 3]], [[Thy Dungeonman II]]

Middle left:
[[Duck Guardian One]]
[[Duck Guardian 2]], [[Pigs on Head]]

Middle right:
[[Planet Alert]], [[Hallrunner]]

Lower left:
[[Spaceshipper]] (?), [[Stinkoman]] (forgot the actual name)

I think that's all of them... -{{User:YK/sig}}

Whoever made the edit of "not yet active," was it just 404'd? I'd like to put that in Trivia if it was, because it exists now, but only with a message. --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:28, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Title Change? ==

In the TV Time Toons Menu, it's listed under "SBCG4AP," just like the HTML file for it. Should we move the article when we get the transcript done? --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Rabid dog? ==

I hear "rabbit dog", not "rabid dog" as one of the Real World Refs calls it. On second though, we should probably wait until the transcript is done. [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 21:48, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:Funny, I hear that too. But I'm not sure it makes enough sense to put down. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::I think it does. Sam is way more of a "rabbit" dog (a hybrid of a rabbit and a dog, with his vaguely bunnyish ears) than a "rabid" dog. [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 21:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

:I didn't notice any glitchy problems, but I did notice a big increase in the frame rate. {{User:Super Turtle/sig}} 22:19, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

:This swf is streaming off of our (Telltale's) CDN instead of TBC's servers since the whole thing is pretty big. It may be that it was the increased size that sabotaged you.
::You're not alone. The trailer constantly stutters on my computer, especially when Homestar turns up. (''"A-w m-a-n, t-hi-s d-an-g ol-' re-mo-t-e c-o-nt-r-ol..."'') Once again, I point the blame squarely at the server. If this is the case, then all we can do is come back later and try again. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Plus, if you look at your statusbar closely, the preloader doesn't preload the whole movie before the movie starts. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::::Ok, since the movie plays before the entire trailer is finished loading, I've found a solution to the stuttering: start the trailer, then turn off your speakers and do something else for five minutes. Once the trailer has finally loaded and played through once, go back and play the trailer again. Because the movie has been temporarily downloaded and stored in the computer's memory, it should now play smoothly. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== What dimension? ==

I'm actually not listening right now, as now isn't an opportune time, but wouldn't it make more sense for Strong Bad to give the "3 Ds" as "'''''Depth''''', Dimension, and Dumb idiots"? Or at least something that begins with a D? "Yeah" seems out of context. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:Corrected. It didn't make much sense, but I had trouble hearing that - now you say "Depth" it makes perfect sense and sounds right. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 22:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== SOOOOOOOOOOoo fast! ==

Is it just me, or did the things in this "commercial" move faster than most homestar stuff?
:Yes, things seem to move "faster" due to the higher framerate as stated in the Trivia section. I only wish they would use this all the time. Looks so much better. Probably requires a lot more work though. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 05:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::Yep. TBC have talked about this in interviews 'n stuff. [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007]] comes to mind; here's a quote from that:
<blockquote>
'''MIKE:''' Um, and that's how we learned to animate, so we have rarely...done a few things at 18 or 24 frames a second, and of course it takes us way longer, so we, we stick with 12.
</blockquote>
::Good thing to watch if you haven't watched it already. And as far as I'm concerned, they can keep doing it at 12 if it means a new cartoon just about every week (as they mention in that public appearance). {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:::I would definitely rather have faster updates than faster framerates {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 08:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Agreed with Joshr915. I'd love faster updates too. Although with faster framerates, it means tweens/etc. have to be on the movie set for longer. When you lower the framerate, they don't have to be on as long. I think it may have something to do with the fact that TBC wants to not have their movies over a certain filesize too. More frames means bigger size. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

Tabacco: /* 3D Style */

== NES poster ==

Man, there are so many awesome Inside References in this! Temporarios, Suge Brown, the plaques from [[no loafing]], and the Videlectrix poster in the stairwell is a parody of [http://trsrockin.com/images/powerposter.jpg this NES poster]! I probably have 15 of those in a box somewhere :D {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

:Here they are, side by side. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 07:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
[[Image:VidelectrixPoster.png|162px]][[Image:NES poster Now You're Playing With Power.jpg|140px]]
::As a side-note, the poster depicted above, and the one Trey linked to, are actually different. Most notably to me, being a longtime RPG fan, the middle left side of Trey's picture shows Dragon Warrior and Faxanadu, while the one in the comparison shot has Metroid and Kid Icarus. Interesting... -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Yeah, I noticed that too... my guess is that there are a bunch of variants with different games. I should see if I have any ones that are different... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:02, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:::At that, does anyone know which games are depicted on the Videlectrix poster? I can see [[Secret Collect.]], [[StrongBadZone]] and [[RhinoFeeder]], and [[Thy Dungeonman]] in the upper left... [[Thy Dungeonman II]] and [[Thy Dungeonman 3]] on the upper right, and I think I see [[Pigs on Head]] in the lower left corner... any others? -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

All right, I got it now...

Upper left corner:
[[Secret Collect.]], [[StrongBadZone]], [[RhinoFeeder]]
[[Thy Dungeonman]], [[50k Racewalker]]

Upper right corner:
[[Thy Dungeonman 3]], [[Thy Dungeonman II]]

Middle left:
[[Duck Guardian One]]
[[Duck Guardian 2]], [[Pigs on Head]]

Middle right:
[[Planet Alert]], [[Hallrunner]]

Lower left:
[[Spaceshipper]] (?), [[Stinkoman]] (forgot the actual name)

I think that's all of them... -{{User:YK/sig}}

== 404'd, or not ready? ==

Whoever made the edit of "not yet active," was it just 404'd? I'd like to put that in Trivia if it was, because it exists now, but only with a message. --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:28, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== MiiWare ==

Should "MiiWare" be a considerable reference to Miis? --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
: Actually, for all we know, Strong Bad meant Me-Ware, not Mii-Ware. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Title Change? ==

In the TV Time Toons Menu, it's listed under "SBCG4AP," just like the HTML file for it. Should we move the article when we get the transcript done? --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Rabid dog? ==

I hear "rabbit dog", not "rabid dog" as one of the Real World Refs calls it. On second though, we should probably wait until the transcript is done. [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 21:48, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:Funny, I hear that too. But I'm not sure it makes enough sense to put down. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::I think it does. Sam is way more of a "rabbit" dog (a hybrid of a rabbit and a dog, with his vaguely bunnyish ears) than a "rabid" dog. [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 21:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Ooh, insider information; it's "rabbit dog": [http://telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4875&page=2]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:27, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Glitch? ==

Is this thing playing choppy on anyone else's computers as well? It's still funnier than rated though. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
*What parts are choppy? Or is it just occasional? --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 22:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:I didn't notice any glitchy problems, but I did notice a big increase in the frame rate. {{User:Super Turtle/sig}} 22:19, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

:This swf is streaming off of our (Telltale's) CDN instead of TBC's servers since the whole thing is pretty big. It may be that it was the increased size that sabotaged you.
::You're not alone. The trailer constantly stutters on my computer, especially when Homestar turns up. (''"A-w m-a-n, t-hi-s d-an-g ol-' re-mo-t-e c-o-nt-r-ol..."'') Once again, I point the blame squarely at the server. If this is the case, then all we can do is come back later and try again. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Plus, if you look at your statusbar closely, the preloader doesn't preload the whole movie before the movie starts. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::::Ok, since the movie plays before the entire trailer is finished loading, I've found a solution to the stuttering: start the trailer, then turn off your speakers and do something else for five minutes. Once the trailer has finally loaded and played through once, go back and play the trailer again. Because the movie has been temporarily downloaded and stored in the computer's memory, it should now play smoothly. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== What dimension? ==

I'm actually not listening right now, as now isn't an opportune time, but wouldn't it make more sense for Strong Bad to give the "3 Ds" as "'''''Depth''''', Dimension, and Dumb idiots"? Or at least something that begins with a D? "Yeah" seems out of context. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:Corrected. It didn't make much sense, but I had trouble hearing that - now you say "Depth" it makes perfect sense and sounds right. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 22:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== SOOOOOOOOOOoo fast! ==

Is it just me, or did the things in this "commercial" move faster than most homestar stuff?
:Yes, things seem to move "faster" due to the higher framerate as stated in the Trivia section. I only wish they would use this all the time. Looks so much better. Probably requires a lot more work though. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 05:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::Yep. TBC have talked about this in interviews 'n stuff. [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007]] comes to mind; here's a quote from that:
<blockquote>
'''MIKE:''' Um, and that's how we learned to animate, so we have rarely...done a few things at 18 or 24 frames a second, and of course it takes us way longer, so we, we stick with 12.
</blockquote>
::Good thing to watch if you haven't watched it already. And as far as I'm concerned, they can keep doing it at 12 if it means a new cartoon just about every week (as they mention in that public appearance). {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:::I would definitely rather have faster updates than faster framerates {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 08:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Agreed with Joshr915. I'd love faster updates too. Although with faster framerates, it means tweens/etc. have to be on the movie set for longer. When you lower the framerate, they don't have to be on as long. I think it may have something to do with the fact that TBC wants to not have their movies over a certain filesize too. More frames means bigger size. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== They're not serious, are they? ==

...are they? --{{User:Haldo/sig}} 23:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:We're totally serious :) --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 23:14, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::Wow! {{User:Haldo/sig}}

== Let me guess...==

...some really late and meticulous April Fools day prank? {{unsigned|Del20nd|00:33, 11 April 2008}}

:I really don't understand why you people don't understand reality is reality. This is '''REAL''', and it is '''REALLY''' going to happen. They have the press release, which states it's real. TBC have contributed, and TellTale games went to a lot of freakin' trouble makin' this, I'm going to guess. TBC didn't make those graphics by themselves, and one company wouldn't go to that much trouble putting what I'm guessing was around about 3-6 months into just making 3d graphics and screenshots, pages on their official website, etc., for like, 2 cartoons about 3 minutes long a piece. If this isn't real, than somebody call me cap'n of the gravy train, and shoot me hard with a water-pistol. Not that that would hurt anyway, but still: THIS WILL HAPPEN. I guarantee it. [[User:DevonM|DevonM]] 00:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::As will I :) --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 00:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::it's an ok argument, DevonM, except those people went into a lot of freaking effort for that "legend of zelda" movie trailer, and ''that's'' not going anywhere (really wish it was, though) --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 03:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::But there's also the fact that... um... IT'S NOT APRIL FIRST. Seriously, this is why I hate the internet and magazines with regard to April Fool's Day, you start getting accusations of early jokes and late jokes, and people posting stuff later on thinking it's true, causing other people to think it's true until they find out the source... Jokes should only be ON April 1st. So no, this is real. -[[User:ComputerBox|ComputerBox]] 03:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

On a second note, you an clearly see the game "Coming soon" in the wii games on the games page. [[User:F123979|F123979]]
:ya, not to mention I've already seen this on a billion news blogs already. Should be sweet and extra real :P

== Real email? ==

Hrm, was just wondering.. is this a real email, or did TBC/Telltale make it up for the purposes of the ad? I guess the same will go for the emails in the game itself, since the trailer shows that you'll be able to see some. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 00:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:We don't know, and we can only speculate - especially about the in-game emails. I'm assuming that the email from this ad is made-up, since it says that this is not a real sbemail.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

==Strong Bad's House==
Forgive me if one of these already exists but... Someone should study that toon and create a layout of Strong Bad's house. Well, at least as complete a diagram as possible with the rooms he showed. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 05:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:Seeing the trailer, I think the layout we saw here is actually going to in-game. (This is just a speculation) I think we shouldn't rush off, since if we wait we can just play the game, and that will be much easier. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::If his whole house is in the game that would definitely be easier, ya. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 08:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

:I also believe the DVDs outline some of his house too. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== Incorrect ==

The folloing remark:

The link at the end of the ad, "learn more at telltalegames.com", was inactive at first, and activated soon after the cartoon's release. Now, however, the link is not clickable at all, neither is the back button next to it. However, it is clickable in the Flash File.

...I believe isn't true. I have watched the toon on the website three times now, and the link to telltalegames.com works, as well as the back button. I am wanting to know what we should do with this knowledge. [[User:Andrewnuva199|Andrewnuva199]] 18:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:If that's the case, then I will add it to the article. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

:It still is unclickable for me, at least in Firefox 2.0.0.13. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::Just checked. Although they highlight, they do not work for me. I am using IE 7. Not added to article after all. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:::It's possible that they used an swfLoader function/file onsite to load an offsite swf. If that's the case, it's no wonder the links won't work; we have this problem on [http://www.sheezyart.com SheezyART] a lot because of that. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

It's working fine for me, even though my iMac is incredably slow and makes this cartoon almost unwatchable. I think it should say that it works on some computers, since that's how it seems to be working. -Ben, who really needs an account here.

==A price?==

Mike and Matt already have my money, how much of it do you think they want? -NoAccount 20:22, 11 April 2008
:The [http://telltalegames.com/strongbad/faq FAQ] says it'll cost similar to their other episodic games... [http://www.telltalegames.com/store/samandmax which generally cost $9 each]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== Greasemonkey Seekbar Errors? ==

Is anyone else finding it impossible to navigate this toon using the Greasemonkey seekbar script?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 08:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:My theory is it is because the Flash file is hosted on another site. The seekbar attempts to work but fails. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
::Your theory is correct. If you host the Flash file and the HTML file on the same site, the seekbar works fine. It's just Flash's security at work... massively oversimplified, it boils down to "stuff from different sites can't interact"... JavaScript stuff, like the GM script, are treated by Flash as if they were part of the HTML page (because, for all it can tell, they ''could'' be)... which was served by www.homestarrunner.com. They're trying to interact with the SWF file, which comes from telltale.vo.llnwd.net. So they're different sites, and Flash severely limits what the JavaScript can access... it can read where the Flash movie is up to (so the seekbar works as a progress bar, subtitles should still work, etc), but you can't seek, or pause, or anything like that. There's not much I can do about it... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== 3D Style ==

The 3D-Style shown throughout the advertisement looks similar to Google's Sketch-Up way of rendering by a lot. Is this notable? (If this were made in blender, it would have taken a long, long, long time to make it so simply.) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:Although I have no clue if this is true or not, I remember reading something on the Telltale FAQ that they made all the stuff in what they call the "Telltale Tool". {{User:DevonM/sig}}
::Although I believe there's no downloads for that tool. You can see other places where they discuss it, like [http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14355 here] and maybe... [http://www.telltalearcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3381 here]. Seems it'll probably be purchase only though. So if I went into the 3D-business, I'd probably use Blender.org's tool. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

:::Correct. The Telltale Tool is our custom developed in-house game engine and development tool. We don't release it for download or purchase. The shipping versions of the game include a very stripped down version of the tool that contains only what is needed to run the game. Blender is something altogether different. For our modelling, we use Maya.

::::Once again, a non-free progrum. (See [http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7635018 here]) I'm amazed that less progrums are free around the webs. -- (Iyeru-Guest)

::::I'm not really sure why you're concerned that we use non-free software to make the game, but okay. If you desperately want a free copy of Maya fro some reason, you can grab the [http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7639525 Personal Learning Edition] from their website to play with. But again, I'm not sure why it matters. We use Maya, the customer doesn't need it at all.

:We don't know, and we can only speculate - especially about the in-game emails. I'm assuming that the email from this ad is made-up, since it says that this is not a real sbemail.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

==Strong Bad's House==
Forgive me if one of these already exists but... Someone should study that toon and create a layout of Strong Bad's house. Well, at least as complete a diagram as possible with the rooms he showed. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 05:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:Seeing the trailer, I think the layout we saw here is actually going to in-game. (This is just a speculation) I think we shouldn't rush off, since if we wait we can just play the game, and that will be much easier. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::If his whole house is in the game that would definitely be easier, ya. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 08:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

:I also believe the DVDs outline some of his house too. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== Incorrect ==

The folloing remark:

The link at the end of the ad, "learn more at telltalegames.com", was inactive at first, and activated soon after the cartoon's release. Now, however, the link is not clickable at all, neither is the back button next to it. However, it is clickable in the Flash File.

...I believe isn't true. I have watched the toon on the website three times now, and the link to telltalegames.com works, as well as the back button. I am wanting to know what we should do with this knowledge. [[User:Andrewnuva199|Andrewnuva199]] 18:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:If that's the case, then I will add it to the article. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

:It still is unclickable for me, at least in Firefox 2.0.0.13. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::Just checked. Although they highlight, they do not work for me. I am using IE 7. Not added to article after all. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:::It's possible that they used an swfLoader function/file onsite to load an offsite swf. If that's the case, it's no wonder the links won't work; we have this problem on [http://www.sheezyart.com SheezyART] a lot because of that. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

It's working fine for me, even though my iMac is incredably slow and makes this cartoon almost unwatchable. I think it should say that it works on some computers, since that's how it seems to be working. -Ben, who really needs an account here.

==A price?==

== Greasemonkey Seekbar Errors? ==

Is anyone else finding it impossible to navigate this toon using the Greasemonkey seekbar script?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 08:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:My theory is it is because the Flash file is hosted on another site. The seekbar attempts to work but fails. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
::Your theory is correct. If you host the Flash file and the HTML file on the same site, the seekbar works fine. It's just Flash's security at work... massively oversimplified, it boils down to "stuff from different sites can't interact"... JavaScript stuff, like the GM script, are treated by Flash as if they were part of the HTML page (because, for all it can tell, they ''could'' be)... which was served by www.homestarrunner.com. They're trying to interact with the SWF file, which comes from telltale.vo.llnwd.net. So they're different sites, and Flash severely limits what the JavaScript can access... it can read where the Flash movie is up to (so the seekbar works as a progress bar, subtitles should still work, etc), but you can't seek, or pause, or anything like that. There's not much I can do about it... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== 3D Style ==

The 3D-Style shown throughout the advertisement looks similar to Google's Sketch-Up way of rendering by a lot. Is this notable? (If this were made in blender, it would have taken a long, long, long time to make it so simply.) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:Although I have no clue if this is true or not, I remember reading something on the Telltale FAQ that they made all the stuff in what they call the "Telltale Tool". {{User:DevonM/sig}}
::Although I believe there's no downloads for that tool. You can see other places where they discuss it, like [http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14355 here] and maybe... [http://www.telltalearcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3381 here]. Seems it'll probably be purchase only though. So if I went into the 3D-business, I'd probably use Blender.org's tool. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

:::Correct. The Telltale Tool is our custom developed in-house game engine and development tool. We don't release it for download or purchase. The shipping versions of the game include a very stripped down version of the tool that contains only what is needed to run the game. Blender is something altogether different. For our modelling, we use Maya.

Man, there are so many awesome Inside References in this! Temporarios, Suge Brown, the plaques from [[no loafing]], and the Videlectrix poster in the stairwell is a parody of [http://trsrockin.com/images/powerposter.jpg this NES poster]!

::As a side-note, the poster depicted above, and the one Trey linked to, are actually different. Most notably to me, being a longtime RPG fan, the middle left side of Trey's picture shows Dragon Warrior and Faxanadu, while the one in the comparison shot has Metroid and Kid Icarus. Interesting... -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[[Thy Dungeonman II]] and [[Thy Dungeonman 3]] on the upper right, and I think I see [[Pigs on Head]] in the lower left corner... any others? -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[[Duck Guardian One]]
[[Duck Guardian 2]], [[Pigs on Head]]

:This swf is streaming off of our (Telltale's) CDN instead of TBC's servers since the whole thing is pretty big. It may be that it was the increased size that sabotaged you.
::You're not alone. The trailer constantly stutters on my computer, especially when Homestar turns up. (''"A-w m-a-n, t-hi-s d-an-g ol-' re-mo-t-e c-o-nt-r-ol..."'')

== What dimension? ==

I'm actually not listening right now, as now isn't an opportune time, but wouldn't it make more sense for Strong Bad to give the "3 Ds" as "'''''Depth''''', Dimension, and Dumb idiots"? Or at least something that begins with a D? "Yeah" seems out of context. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== SOOOOOOOOOOoo fast! ==

Is it just me, or did the things in this "commercial" move faster than most homestar stuff?
:Yes, things seem to move "faster" due to the higher framerate as stated in the Trivia section. I only wish they would use this all the time. Looks so much better. Probably requires a lot more work though. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 05:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::Yep. TBC have talked about this in interviews 'n stuff. [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007]] comes to mind; here's a quote from that:
<blockquote>
'''MIKE:''' Um, and that's how we learned to animate, so we have rarely...done a few things at 18 or 24 frames a second, and of course it takes us way longer, so we, we stick with 12.
</blockquote>
::Good thing to watch if you haven't watched it already. And as far as I'm concerned, they can keep doing it at 12 if it means a new cartoon just about every week (as they mention in that public appearance). {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:::I would definitely rather have faster updates than faster framerates {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 08:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Agreed with Joshr915. I'd love faster updates too. Although with faster framerates, it means tweens/etc. have to be on the movie set for longer. When you lower the framerate, they don't have to be on as long. I think it may have something to do with the fact that TBC wants to not have their movies over a certain filesize too. More frames means bigger size. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

:I really don't understand why you people don't understand reality is reality. This is '''REAL''', and it is '''REALLY''' going to happen. They have the press release, which states it's real. TBC have contributed, and TellTale games went to a lot of freakin' trouble makin' this, I'm going to guess. TBC didn't make those graphics by themselves, and one company wouldn't go to that much trouble putting what I'm guessing was around about 3-6 months into just making 3d graphics and screenshots, pages on their official website, etc., for like, 2 cartoons about 3 minutes long a piece.

::But there's also the fact that... um... IT'S NOT APRIL FIRST.

I was the one who originally said this was better left for being on the fanstuff wiki (I put the deleted thing on, but [[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] removed it I guess). Anyone else thinks this should be put as fanstuff? Because it's not a part of the official homestarrunner.com site. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:This differs from fanstuff, as this is an official licensed Homestar Runner game (like the long-delayed [[Homestar Runner RPG]] or the appearance of "Trogdor" in [[Guitar Hero]]).

Too bad this game can't be played by me. Not everyone's good enough to get a Wii. Although the article says it's also for the PC, I highly doubt that will be a reality. It makes me so frustrated when new consoles come out. Especially onces that cost over 200 USD, when I could get something productive (Like Photoshop CS3 Extended) for 320 USD.

:::Our first run distribution is almost always through our website as downloads.

I was the one who originally said this was better left for being on the fanstuff wiki (I put the deleted thing on, but [[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] removed it I guess). Anyone else thinks this should be put as fanstuff? Because it's not a part of the official homestarrunner.com site. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:This differs from fanstuff, as this is an official licensed Homestar Runner game (like the long-delayed [[Homestar Runner RPG]] or the appearance of "Trogdor" in [[Guitar Hero]]). Since it is official licensed (and even being "developed" by Videletrix), then this will be documented by the regular Wiki. The same thing would count towards things like [[Strong Bad Gameways]] or any of the [[:Category:Interviews and Public Appearances|live appearances]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yup, exactly right. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Besides, it's mentioned on the official Homestar Runner site! --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Game News Soon doesn't direct to anything, so it may not be possible this is the same thing. But whatever. '''Close this mess.''' {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::The news isn't supposed to be revealed in full for another hour and forty-five minutes. Keep your pants on, for real. Anyway, it's fairly obvious that this game and the notice on the site are related. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Info For you! ==

Intrepid editors may find [http://www.telltalegames.com/strongbad/faq this page] helpful. It's not 100% done yet but since we're running late we wanted to get something up with more info. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 22:22, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:Heyyyyy, the whole site is up now! --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 22:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== And you can play too! ==

Too bad this game can't be played by me. Not everyone's good enough to get a Wii. Although the article says it's also for the PC, I highly doubt that will be a reality. It makes me so frustrated when new consoles come out. Especially onces that cost over 200 USD, when I could get something productive (Like Photoshop CS3 Extended) for 320 USD. Which I ''will'' get 'cause I have no Wii. Why not get the wii, you ask? Because I want my damnz photoshop! Been entirely too long since I last had it. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:It will be out for the PC. Guaranteed. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 23:13, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::What retailers will you be distributing to? Target? Wal-Mart? If it's K-Mart, I advise against it. Madison, WI has '''no K-Marts whatsoever'''. Also, will it be good for only Vista? Because I can't switch to Vista, my computer won't allow me to upgrade my BIOS to do so. Besides, dozens upon dozens of users say Vista is crap for Gaming. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::Our first run distribution is almost always through our website as downloads. With Sam & Max, we released the games as downloads and then once the whole season was over we assembled a disc and offered it up free to season subscribers. Not sure if that's what we're doing for Strong Bad (nobody tells me anything fun), but they will be available to download from our site. And no, they won't be Vista only. Our system spec is pretty generous in fact, so it shouldn't require too new and crazy a computer. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 23:18, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Do you expect people to buy over the Internet only? Or are the downloads free? Because I somewhat despise Internet purchasing. Of course, I do have a Debit Card (Sorry, will never, ever use a Credit Card) if I so need to do an online transaction. But I haven't used the card in over 4 months. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::It sounds like Tabacco answered this in his last post: they'll certainly be available for download, but if that's not an option for you, it's possible that they will be eventually released on disc format. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::Some sites require you to pay for certain downloads though. Like "Adobe Extend." {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::::Yep, this game will cost money, just as the exclusive DVD content does through the Homestar Runner store. It's good too; I've often wondered if there was a way for TBC to make some money off of their games! Fans have been able to support them by buying DVDs for a while, so I think this is great. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Still awaiting answer for if we ''have'' to buy over the Internet, or if we can send in check/money orders. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::We also accept Paypal and Wire Transfer. You can use the latter if you like. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 23:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::You stil didn't say if I can use check or money order though; I will only use them. If you can't do money order / etc. it's better off not to purchase. Not everyone likes the Internet... I'm sure not liking it anymore... I've been distancing myself from it more and more. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::::No, we don't take check or money order. You sound pretty determined not to purchase, so I'm not sure why you're so insistent on pushing the issue, honestly. I think we can call this closed.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{film|Strong Bad}}, {{film|Strong Sad}}, {{film|Strong Mad}}, {{film|Coach Z}}, {{film|The Cheat}}, {{film|Homestar Runner}}, {{film|Trogdor}}, {{film|Bubs}}, {{film|Pom Pom}}

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

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

==Transcript==
''{the words appear on the screen as a man reads it}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' the following is an extremely well paid for comercial advertisement ''{pronounced ad-ver-tis-ment}'' and NOT a really funny cartoon.
{{transcriptinprogress|Mithent}}

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Polygon (computer graphics)|polygon count]] is the number of polygons being rendered per frame, and, as the viewer can see, Homestar's mouth does not appear to be moving in great 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, yet more awkward and faster than usual. 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].
*The URL at the end of the ad, [http://telltalegames.com/strongbad/ http://telltalegames.com/strongbad/], was not active for a bit after the toon came out. It now reads:
<blockquote>
Looking for Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People? 
 
Well, we're running a few minutes behind on the SBCG4AP-ey goodness, but it will be up very soon, promise! 
 
♥♥ Telltale ♥♥
</blockquote>
*[[Strong Sad's Room|Strong Sad's room]] is now to the left of Strong Bad's computer desk, rather than to the right as seen is [[gimmicks]].
*The [[TV Time Toons Menu]] for [[HR:menuswfs/menu_sbcg4ap.swf|the toon]] is in its usual 12 frames per second, while it's 30 in the toon itself.

===Inside References===
*An application ending in .wad was used in the email [[secret identity]].
*In the drawing at the end, Strong Bad is holding a [[Big Knives|Big Knife]].
*The first 3D game Strong Bad pops up is similar to that of [[Extra Real Dating Sim XR]], which first appeared in [[date]].
*Advertisements being pronounced as "ad-VER-tis-ments" first appeared in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2]].
*[[Minor Foods#Temporarios|Temporarios]] and [[Minor Foods#Suge Brown|Suge Brown]] boxes appear on the counter in the kitchen.
*The "The Cheat, watch your freakin' back, Squeaky." picture and the wood burning of a horse from [[no loafing]] are on the wall in the living room
*The [[:Image:Trailer pony.PNG|"Dare to Be Danged!!!"]] Unicorn on a snowmobile poster from [[portrait]] is hanging up in Strong Bad's Room.
*Strong Bad says "[[Crap|Holy crap!]]", which was previously referenced in [[rated]], for Strong Bad not saying it for over 4 years.
*Strong Bad pronounces "Bunnyman" as "[["Man" pronounced as "m'n"|Bunnym'n]]".
*The "schwa" sound (Trogdor's burninating sound effect) was previously referenced in [[from work]].

===Real-World References===
*The [[Wikipedia:Super FX|Super FX Chip]] was used in games like [[Wikipedia:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]] and [[Wikipedia:StarFox (SNES)|Star Fox]] to provide sprite scaling and rotation.
*"N64" is an abbreviation of "[[Wikipedia:Nintendo 64|Nintendo 64]]," Nintendo's first console capable of display 3D graphics using more advanced methods. The "red thing" Strong Bad mentions is the [[Wikipedia:Expansion Pak|Expansion Pak]], a memory enhancement add-on.
*[[Wikipedia:Mode 7|Mode 7]] originated on the [[Wikipedia:Super NES|Super NES video game console]], on which it describes a simple texture mapping graphics mode that allows a background layer to be rotated and scaled, as if in 3D.
*The [[Videlectrix]] poster in the stairwell is a parody of an [[Nintendo#NES|NES]] [http://trsrockin.com/images/powerposter.jpg poster] included with many games.
*Rabid Dog and Bunny Man are the characters [[Wikipedia:Sam & Max|Sam and Max]], another game by [[Telltale Games]].

I'm not sure if I can take the credit for this one. When comparing this picture to Pokémon with an online friend, he pointed out which game it's '''actually''' from. Anyway, there was a bell in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:35, 16 September 2007 (UTC) 
PS. Because of the source, I intentionally left the game's title off.
::Yep, you've got the correct game in mind :) I don't think the bell sighting is quite right — if I'm not mistaken, there's not a ''visible'' bell in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]... let me know if I'm wrong though. And let's see if someone else gets the game, and then I'll sort out to whom to give credit. Nice job, Jay and Jay's friend! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:42, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Oh, right, that was Homsar's paintbrush. :p He actually has an account here, though he doesn't use it anywhere near as much as I do. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:44, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
:Um, The Adventures of Bayou Billy? I have absolutely no NES trivia knowledge, just a guess. And Jay, I'm pretty sure Pokemon was never a NES game. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 03:38, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
:: You misunderstand. I compared the picture to Pokémon with an online friend, and HE told me which game it REALLY came from, which, of course, wasn't Pokémon. I left off the game's title because I don't know if I should take credit. And no, it's not Bayou Billy. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:40, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:::Yup, not Bayou Billy. Keep trying! The hints should be helpful... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:42, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

::::::[[Seasonal Sweaters]] is the one! Good work, GG Crono and Jay; I'll put you on my user page shortly. By the way, the answers to the hints were the following: One of [[your funeral|Strong Bad's possible funerals]] involved preserving his body in a '''mason''' jar (about which [[Taranchula]] wrote a song). So the "makers" of the jar are "masons", an anagram of which is "Samson". Thanks for participating, everyone! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:56, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

:::::::By the way, SMB, [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]] was close, but the type of bell there is a school bell, as opposed to the style that Little Samson wields. Good guess! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:58, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

::That's easy. Homestar Runner was a jailer in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:02, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
:::By "occupation", I mean "career". Also, this one's probably straightforward, but what game is it? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:13, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Trey, you know about storage of past topics. Is it a bad or good thing to have 32kb or something for your talk page? Does it mean that I need to start archiving things? Or taht it's close to being so? {{User:Chaosvii7/sig}} 01:59, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

:Hey, Chaos. It's really okay either way... MediaWiki recommends that you archive your page, but you don't have to. Hope that helps, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:01, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
::Very much so. thanks, Trey! {{User:Chaosvii7/sig}} 02:02, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

== Thanks! ==

Thanks for blocking Snuffy (Brian Barbra) — [[User:The Huuuuge|The Huuuuge]] 03:04, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

:No problem :) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:05, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

== Hebrew font for Welcome image ==

[[Image:Welcome-hefonts.png|thumb]]
Hi Trey. Do you mind using a better Hebrew font for the {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/images/archive/5/5d/20070929001122%21Welcome_he.png Welcome}} image? I searched the web and foud this good one that are kinda similar to Bauhaus 93, but not quite. I really like Oria Bold, but it's too bold for you there's a lighter version of it. Tell me which one is more suitable and I'll email you the font. (Notice also that Guttman Haim for some reason don't have an exclamation mark, so it's Times New Roman) {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 08:57, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

:Not at all! I'll try using Oria Bold and show you what it looks like... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 12:45, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

::Hmm... so the graphics program I'm using is the only program on my computer that doesn't use your font correctly :( However, I tried a different method to make the letters puffier. Is {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/images/archive/5/5d/20070929005833%21Welcome_he.png this}} any better? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:14, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

:::Phlip was able to get your font working — how does [[:Image:Welcome he.png|this]] look? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:04, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

::::Looks great. I'm using it on [[User:E.L. Cool/Welcome/he]] right now. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 06:12, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
==The fanstuff wiki flash toons==
Hey trey. just wonderin' if you know how to watch flash toons on the fanstuff wiki. I've been dying to watch the Airstar Flyer emails! - [[User:Don't say jorb 101|Don't say jorb 101]]

:Hi there, Don't say jorb 101. I'm not that familiar with much of the content on the Fanstuff Wiki, so I can't tell you for sure, but this is my understanding: most of the emails are transcript only, and I believe that [[HRFWiki:Fake Character Email Airstar Flyer|Fake Character Email Airstar Flyer]] falls into this category. That is, there's no flash to go along with it, just a made-up transcript.

:I don't think it's actually possible to host Flash files on the Fanstuff Wiki. So, any Flash fanstuff would have to be hosted on another site and linked to, in which case you should be able to view it in your internet browser, just like you view Homestar Runner content. A good example of this [http://devonm.com/demail.swf Strong Devon's Emails].

:Hopefully I've understood and answered your question correctly. Talk atcha later! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

== Thanks! (userbox help) ==
thanks for helping out with the userboxes. i'm new with this wiki stuff so any help helps!
[[User:Kermit1234|Kermit1234]] 03:23, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

:No problem! Stop on by if you have any other questions! Laters, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:25, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

thanks a bunch also for the picture thing too!
{{User:Kermit1234/sig}} 18:40, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

:No problem — it looks good in your sig! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:40, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

== French Subtitles ==

Just to clear things up: you just added spaces to my translations before exclamation points and question marks. I question, though, because both my sister, who speaks French, and my french teacher both type and write without those spaces. I live in America, my two resources who helped me both learned French in Quebec. Is there something different between France french and Canadian french? {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 06:44, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

:Hey there — there are a lot of difference between Canadian French and French as spoken in France, but I don't know if this is one of them. I do know that this is something that [[User:Meuhcoin|Meuhcoin]], a native speaker living in France [[User talk:Trey56/Archive 1#French subtitles|thought was important]]. It'd probably be best to keep doing that for consistency with all the ones he's transcribed. By the way, I didn't know this either before he corrected me — they didn't teach it in my French classes either. If you feel like it, it's probably worth contacting [[User:Meuhcoin|Meuhcoin]] about, if you can get ahold of him. Hope that helps! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:49, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

== Transcription ==

Thanks for taking notice to my hard work. I'm glad someone noticed. I'd really like someone to proofread those so they can be removed from the list, Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner, I was carving my HSR-related pumpakin. But, thanks for noticing. Do you think you could proofread those? Thanks,{{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}

:Absolutely — I'll be happy to proofread your transcripts for [[A Decemberween Pageant]], [[Halloween Fairstival]], and [[The Best Decemberween Ever]]. It might take me a day or two to have time to finish it, but I'll be sure to get it done.

:By the way, which pumpkin did you make? Laters, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:36, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

::I made the one that's just the H*R logo. My pumpkin started drying up the day after I carved it, so the flimsy little star outline got all shriveled up and dissapeared. Other that that, it turned out gweat. Swarthily, Bubs's Concession Stand. Oops, I mean {{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}

:::Aw, peas. I finally had a chance to proofread your transcripts, so I popped in my [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Five]], went to go look at the [[HRWiki:DVD commentary transcripts|commentaries you transcribed]], and realized that they're all on [[Everything Else, Volume 2]]. Which I don't have. So, I'm afraid I can't proofread them for you — sorry :( {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:08, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

::::Don't feel too bad. The couple people I asked to proofread those said they didn't have that DVD, so I guess nobody has that [[Everything Else, Volume 2]] DVD, I'll get someone to proof those. I was gonna do it myself, but I decided against it at the last minute(even though my dad's an English major). Thanks anyways, {{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}

==Uploading pictures==
I was wondering... how do you copy pictures from h*r toons and post them on the wiki? I'm creating a page and I need a certain picture on it.
Please respond, [[User:Don't say jorb 101|Don't say jorb 101]]
:Hi! Check out the "How to take a screenshot" section on [[Help:Image]]. Let me know if you have any other questions! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:41, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
I just have one more question: how do you organize userboxes? [[User:Don't say jorb 101|Don't say jorb 101]]

:Good question. Put each one on a separate line, put <code><nowiki>{{userboxtop}}</nowiki></code> on a separate line above them all, and put <code><nowiki>|}</nowiki></code> on a line below them all. So, it should look like this:
<pre><nowiki>
{{userboxtop}}
{{userbox|...}}
{{userbox|...}}
...
{{userbox|...}}
|}
</nowiki></pre>
:Hope that helps, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

== html URLs ==

If you would ever like to find those HTML files you posted in the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|sandbox]], I pasted them [[User:Homestar-winner/URLs|here]]. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 12:44, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

:Thanks! I can also get them from {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&diff=511551&oldid=511511 this version}} of the Sandbox, so don't worry about keeping them on that page if you don't want. Also, just as a note for myself, this is just a version of [[HRWiki:Subtitles/Data]] with all of the sections in reverse chronological order. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:26, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
==Dansk!==
Will you send a message to me?{{User:HAJ/sig}}

:Okay, I sent {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:HAJ&diff=516269&oldid=516238 a test message}}. Welcome to the wiki! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:29, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

== thanks to you! ==

thank you for helping me. now for me to figure out how userboxes work [[User:Imdaman]]
:I went ahead and {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Imdaman&diff=prev&oldid=519788 fixed them}} — what I did was put each <code><nowiki>{{userbox}}</nowiki></code> on a separate line, put <code><nowiki>{{userboxtop}}</nowiki></code> on a separate line above them all, and put <code><nowiki>|}</nowiki></code> on a line below them all. Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any more questions! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:24, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

== Music Video? ==

Hey Trey, would that musical part of the latest D-ween toon count as a music video? I'd really hate to do all that extra work, just to have it deleted and reformatted. I'm working on the page as we speak, so lemme know ASAP. Thanks, {{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}

:I'm not 100% sure what you're asking... are you asking if the visuals should go on a separate page, like the [[Different Town Visuals]]? If so, then yeah, I think the visuals for the song wil probably end up at [[Happy Dethemberween Visuals]]... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 14:10, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

:But we haven't gotten a new Quote of the Week yet! I realize we might not get one this week, but if the next one they publish is not the Happy Dethemberween song, I will hold true to my promised e-doughnut :D {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:08, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

== Userbox instructions ==
Hey Trey, sorry to bother you again, but is there a page with instructions on making userboxes, or whatever those "This user is a slice of pie" things are? Thanks in advance, -{{User:GardenBoy/sig}} 22:13, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

== Signature (Lux Acerbus) ==
Hey, seein' as how you're a sysop, I'm hoping you can figure out what's wrong with my sig. First of all, the nowrap command or whatever it is that keeps my sig from breaking up into two lines seems to be making it push it outside the border of discussion pages [http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p70/LuxAcerbus/HRWiki.jpg like so]. In addition, the timestamp keeps showing up in one of those weird little blue boxes with the dotted line around it instead of the usual plain text fashion. I don't know what the crap I did, but if you have any suggestions, I'd much appreciate it. Thanks! {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 03:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

:I {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Lux_Acerbus/sig&diff=533436&oldid=532574 fixed}} the second of the two issues you mentioned (there was a missing <nowiki></nowiki> tag at the end of it). I'll look into the first issue (the border violation problem) and see if I can figure anything out. (Though maybe fixing the one issue fixed that one as well). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:23, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

::Okay, I figured it out. The reason that's happening is the "--" you put before your signatures. If you put the -- inside the no-wrap tag, like this:
<pre><nowiki>--...</nowiki></pre>
::then you won't see your signature bleed over the edge like that. I'm not sure if you want it to be part of your signature or not, but at any rate, that's where the problem is. But unless it really bothers you, I wouldn't worry about it: it's not a policy violation or anything. Hope that helps! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

You removed my vote? I thought non-users could vote. I'm a user on the fanstuff. Why can't I use that account? It'd be nice if I could. I don't really want to get an account here, 'cause I'm not gunna be editing stuff much here. Still Ben, Ben. ([[User:70.54.13.39|70.54.13.39]] 17:45, 22 January 2008 (UTC))

:Nope, unfortunately only logged-in users may vote. From [[HRWiki:STUFF#instructions]], in the "Notes about voting" section:
<blockquote>
You must be logged in when you vote. Votes cast by anonymous users do not count, and your vote will be deleted, even if you have an account. If you do not have an account, take a second to [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

== Trey, my main man, my ace in the hole, I'm gonna level with you. ==

I have been tinkering around with my sig for about a weeks now, and I'm still having a small issue that the Help page isn't fixing: I would really like the images on either side of my name to link to my Talk and Contributions, respectively. Even using your sig as a model, what ends up happening is it says <nowiki>{{image}}</nowiki> in the external link blue.[[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]]. I came to you because solving promblems seems to be something you're especially good at. I thank you in advance for your time and patience with me. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 16:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

:Hey there. Yeah, this can be tricky. Fortunately, there's now a cool template that does this for you: {{tl|imagelink}}. To use it, type <code><nowiki>{{imagelink|link=PAGENAME|image=FULL_IMAGE_URL}}</nowiki></code>, replacing "PAGENAME" with the wiki page you want to link to (e.g., "User talk:Flashfight") and replacing "FULL_IMAGE_URL" with the full URL of the image you want to link to (e.g., <nowiki>http://www.hrwiki.org/images/thumb/4/4d/Flashfight_Medal_Green.PNG/12px-Flashfight_Medal_Green.PNG</nowiki>) To get the URL for the small version of the image, just right-click on it and pick "Open image in new window", or whatever the option's called.

:Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any other questions! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
::Ok, everything seems to be working well, the only promblem is that I can't get the URL for the thumbnail of either picture (thanks for the URL of the medal...helped a lot). I'm using FireFox if that's relevant. When I right click on the thumbnail of the Cheat Commando, but it's just taking to the Upload log page, not the thumbnail page that the URL you gave. And I think you again for your patience. {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 18:19, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Hmm... some sort of "open image in a new window" option should come up if you right-click (or CTRL+click on a Mac), but in case it doesn't work out for you, here's the URL for the other image: <code><nowiki>http://www.hrwiki.org/images/thumb/b/be/Flashfight.PNG/19px-Flashfight.PNG</nowiki></code> — Hope that helps! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:50, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Not sure how that happened, but we're all looking forward to reading about our game :) The IP is 208.106.40.170. some of us have been using tunnels or alternate public IPs to get around it, but that's less than ideal. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 21:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

==Transcript==
''{the words appear on the screen as a man reads it}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' the following is an extremely well paid for comercial advertisement ''{pronounced ad-ver-tis-ment}'' and NOT a really funny carton.
{{sectionstub}}

==Fun Facts==

===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, yet more awkward and faster than usual. 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 URL at the end of the ad, [http://telltalegames.com/strongbad/ http://telltalegames.com/strongbad/], is not yet active.
*[[Strong Sad's Room|Strong Sad's room]] is now to the left of Strong Bad's computer desk, rather than to the right as seen is [[gimmicks]].
*The [[TV Time Toons Menu]] for [[HR:menuswfs/menu sbemail177.swf|the toon]] is in it's usual 12 frames per second, while it's 30 in the toon itself.
*The "Dare to Be Danged!!!" Unicorn on a snowmobile poster from [[portrait]] is hangining up in Strong Bad's Room.

===Inside References===
*An application ending in .wad was used in the email [[secret identity]].
*In the drawing at the end, Strong Bad is holding a [[Big Knives|Big Knife]].
*The first 3D game Strong Bad pops up is similar to that of [[Extra Real Dating Sim XR]], which first appeared in [[date]].
*Advertisements being pronounced as "ad-VER-tis-ments" first appeared in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2]].
*The Announcer says "[[Not_X|and NOT a really funny carton.]]"
*[[Minor Foods#Temporarios|Temporarios]] and [[Minor Foods#Suge Brown|Suge Brown]] boxes appear on the counter in the kitchen.
*The "The Cheat, watch your freakin' back, Squeaky." picture and the wood burning of a horse from [[no loafing]] are on the wall in the living room

===Real-World References===
*The [[Wikipedia:Super FX|Super FX Chip]] was used in games like [[Wikipedia:Yoshi's island|Yoshi's island]] and [[Wikipedia:StarFox (SNES)|Star Fox]] to provide sprite scaling and rotation.
*"N64" is an abbreviation of "[[Wikipedia:Nintendo 64|Nintendo 64]]," Nintendo's first console capable of display 3D graphics using more advanced methods. The "red thing" Strong Bad mentions is the [[Wikipedia:Expansion Pak|Expansion Pak]], a memory enhancement add-on.
*Mode 7 originated on the [[Wikipedia:Super NES|Super NES video game console]], on which it describes a simple texture mapping graphics mode that allows a background layer to be rotated and scaled, as if in 3D.
