Walkthrough
House of Strong
Strong Bad sits down to play his new Limozeen game as the episode begins. Feel free to play it as far as you can... but you won't get far, because the Fun Machine will blow a fuse and the game will glitch up. Guess someone's got to fix it...
- And that someone isn't Strong Sad. You can ask him about it, but he'll just tell you to go visit Bubs. And Bubs don't come cheap.
- While you're here, though, be sure to nab your Metal Detector. You won't need it, but it'll help you dig up some bonus items.
- Go down to the basement and open your inventory. You'll notice that you have a microphone there, for no apparent reason. What this bad boy will do is make cardboard boxes appear out of nowhere, if you sing in the right place. Try it out and open the box that appears next to the washer to get a sloshy shirt.
- While you're downstairs, examine the couch to find your leopard print pants.
- Go to the kitchen and open up the fridge to find some aerosol cheese spray.
- Touch the microwave next to the fridge to get a, ahem, shocking surprise. Turns out you get awesomeness points for this. Go figure.
- Talk to Strong Mad and he'll mention that he's heading to Cool Tapes practice at Marzipan's.
- You can also nab the vandalized album sitting on Strong Mad's dresser. You won't need it either, strictly speaking, but it'll make a plot event later make more sense.
- Get your lighter from next to the Lappy, too.
- You can get zapped again by trying to unplug the Lappy.
- Flick the upper light switch to get the first page for the Limozeen game manual.
- There are other cool-looking and plot-necessary items in your brothers' rooms, but for now, they'll stop you from taking them. Oh, well.
- Leave and add Marzipan's House to your map. But head for Bubs' Concession Stand first.
Checkpoint: You should have the Fun Machine, Metal Detector, the Aerosol Cheese, the Vandalized Album, and the Lighter. Strong Bad will now be harmed twice. You also have two of the four costume items.
Bubs' Concession Stand
- Give Bubs the Fun Machine. He'll fix it in exchange for a big sack of cash — one you currently lack.
At this point, Strong Bad gets the idea of running a Battle of the Bands. Not only will it be an awesome excuse to make a lot of noise, but he can use the profits on fixing his Fun Machine. Bubs is willing to help, but first things first. He needs a security officer and some celebrity judges. To help with the former, however, he hands you a security jacket. But who will wear it?
- Grab the paper on the side of the stand for help with the other half of the deal. Limozeen will spend the day with whoever can send in the coolest album picture! You already have some concept art (if you took it from Strong Mad's room), but you still need to make it a reality.
- Get the stencil next to the stand, too.
- Since you're here, wander through the Field to add all the locations to the map. Unlike in Homestar Ruiner, you're going to need to visit most of them sooner or later anyway.
