3D menu test for 1st disc
STRONG BAD: So I think this is like the first attempt at those 3D menus somebody did, but as you can see they're pretty crappy. Like, I'm not even animated, I'm just floating along, like, the Leviantator. Oh go on, kick that yellow brick into the fat Fisher Price guy! I mean, look, you can see all the strings and stuff, it's just completly unrealistic.
3D menu test for 2nd disc
STRONG BAD: I hope those numbers going up in the corner aren't like, the price clock. It's not even worth the five twenty-six {mumbles off more numbers} that we paid for it.
3D menu test for 3rd disc
STRONG BAD: And what's all that text at the bottom? I didn't buy this DVD to read a bunch of text. Or, er, not have a mouth. Man, I'm glad we got somebody else to do these. These look like...bagels...
Easter Eggs
- You can use the angle button to switch between one of three versions of the menu tests, ranging from very incomplete (the default Angle 1) to nearly there (Angle 3).
Real World References
- When Strong Bad announces that he "didn't buy this DVD to read a bunch of text," it might be a verbal jab at the proprietors of Broken Saints.com, another popular flash website. Broken Saints features manga-style flash dramas, arranged in an episodic format, that contain no dialogue. Floating speech bubbles & copious amounts of text are used instead to create the feel of an animated comic book. A DVD set of the series' 24 episodes was released around the same time as the strongbad_email.exe DVD.
