Talk:Strong Bad's Technology

From Homestar Runner Wiki

I'm not going to demand that this be baleeted, but I always looked at it as just a part of Strong Bad's character, and not deserving of its own article. We'll see if this article gets better later on, who knows? But ususally elements of a character's personality don't get their own article. — Has Matt? (talk) 16:34, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

This could fit in the Strong Bad article easily. A whole page? Eww. Plus the page title is a mess. —FireBird|Talk 16:38, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I second. We should definatly merge this one. — Lapper (talk) 16:39, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Wait a minute. Isn't this already mentioned in Strong Bad's bio? — Has Matt? (talk) 16:47, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Sort of. I really don't think a merge is even necessary, maybe just an extra sentence or two. —FireBird|Talk 16:50, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I think this page has the potential of becoming similar to Making Out. It just needs a lot of cleaning up. And a new name. - Joshua 16:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, My title was a little, meh, awakward. TotalSpaceshipGirl3 16:49, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

What other title could we use? Let's see, there's Older Technology, um, Strong Bad's Technology? — Has Matt? (talk) 16:59, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I thought of "Strong Bad's Technology" before you suggested it. I'll use it and see what happens. - Joshua

EDIT CONFLICT:I kanda like Strong Bad's Bad Technology better.-- Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 17:02, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Although I'm still up for merging. —FireBird|Talk 17:01, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Two "bads" next to each other? Looks kinda weird... — Has Matt? (talk) 17:04, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I have some nagging problems with some of the assumptions of this page. First of all, when I hear "Strong Bad's Technology" I think of the Light Pens (why do they not have a page?). But moreover, most of the time he seems to show a defiant preference/passion for 80s/90s-technology, as well as the pop culture of said decades in general. He doesn't use these computers because he's unaware that anything better exists; he uses them because he darn well wants to. Making things even more problematic, this attitude can be traced upwards to TBC themselves; thus the Halloween costumes, the Videlectrix phenomenon... etc. The whole site really is an oasis by and for nostalgic 80s-born 20-somethings. And I promise never to use that many hyphens and/or slashes in a post-type thing again. —AbdiViklas 17:46, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, they were born in the mid-70's, but I'll grant that point! Two comments: books on tape are still usually on actual cassettes, not on CDs (though that's starting to happen) so "Things I Said" does not belong here. (The '05 Elantra came standard with a tape deck!) Secondly, in portrait he recognized that in his "rich-guy newspaper" picture he was holding a really old cellphone. Strong Bad is not ignorant of technology. He simply prefers the older stuff, and maybe likes to pretend a little. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  20:08, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
