STRONG BAD: {singing out of key} I got the Skills of an Artist, yes I make drawing fun! {speaking normally} Today we're going to draw a classic stand-up arcade game!
{Strong Bad draws a circle, and then a smaller circle inside it.}
STRONG BAD: First, a Roundello. And second, a smaller Roundello. It's art! Couple of downtowns for the joystick, and now we have to draw the multi-directional socket-thing here. Now with all four directions! Draw these little flexy-things in here so it can move. Then let's do a little bit of shading. Opposite the shiny. Shady, shiny. Shady, shiny. Skills of an Artist! Now, onto the best part, the buttons! Now look, there's gonna be a lot of nay-sayers out there that are gonna tell you you're drawing an old-timey straw barbershop quartet hat. You just gotta shake those people off, man. There's no convincing those people. YOU know this is an arcade button, and THAT'S what's important. And, put a little shiny on top. And a little shiny on top. And now we gotta decide what these buttons do. Let's see... this one controls... the FROOSH! And you know what that means. This one controls the DOOJ! It's FROOSH and DOOJ! The explodey sisters! Oh, man, that sounds like the best arcade game ever! Oh, I gotta see this thing in action.
{The action speeds up as Strong Bad begins drawing a frame around the arcade controls.}
STRONG BAD: Draw the rest of the cabinet here. And a screen. And some quarters for those who got next. And here's the score. Uh, you're not doing very well. Check it out, here's Sister Froosh. And her explosion goes all-out to the side all wispy-like like FROOSH! And then here's Sister Dooj! And she makes this like column of fire it's like DOOJ!
{Strong Bad is heard falling over in his chair. His boxing glove is no longer on screen.}
STRONG BAD: So... somebody please make this game. That I may play of it.
