Fun Facts
Explanations
- A polygon count is the number of polygons being rendered per frame, and, as the viewer can see, his 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 here.
- The URL at the end of the ad, http://telltalegames.com/strongbad/, was not active until 21:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC). It now reads:
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 ♥♥
- 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 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 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.
- Temporarios and 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 "Dare to Be Danged!!!" Unicorn on a snowmobile poster from portrait is hanging up in Strong Bad's Room.
