Regular outfit

Can we really say that "this is one of only five main pages to have Homestar in his regular outfit, size, and style" if his shirt can change? — Has Matt? (talk) 14:53, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

We can say "this is one of only five main pages to have Homestar in his regular size, and style"?--Kanjiro talk 19:05, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

That applies to most main pages, though. Not just five. DEI DAT VM^┌_{datvm center}\^{super contra}_┘

Personally, I don't think the fact is noteworthy regardless. This fact would have been erased instantly if it had said "one of the few" instead of one of five. I say get rid of it. 0rion 06:23, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Blurry shirt

When you roll over "Store" to put on the glasses, the logos on any of Homestar's shirts are still blurry.

When I put the glasses on, Homestarrunner's shirt is still blurry. Is anyone else having this "problem" 71.108.174.149

See the Goofs section. 24.147.211.129

This happens with all of his shirts, the ducky, the star, and the Peacy P.

I'm not sure this is a goof - I think this is an intentional joke. It seems a little odd that EVERYTHING else would be sharpened except for the shirt. User:Compdude

Agreed -- I laughed. 86.136.81.173 19:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

This especially makes sense when you consider that TBC blurred out the "Olympic Man" shirt in the last TGS episode, and the blurred out Peacy P shirt here also refers to that same TGS episode. Compdude

This was put into STUFF for some reason but it doesn't belong there; it's patently true, so the question is where, not whether, to note it. Seems like it would be fine just to put it in the list of buttons. — It's dot com 20:48, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

The "Fila" shirt gives it away. It must have been intentional. Not a goof. Loafing 20:52, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Trey56 20:53, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't it be a real world reference then? 71.108.174.149

Yup, Fila's mentioned in Real World References. Trey56 22:32, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

What about the whole blurring-logos-to-avoid-copyright-infringement joke

Mentioned in Real World References? As far as I can tell, no such section.66.172.100.207 06:07, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

There was at one time. Where'd it go? --DorianGray 06:08, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

nekkid?

For the Downloads button, the article currently says "Strong Bad walks through the Field", but doesn't elaborate much. Then under Remarks, it says "Strong Bad is seen with underwear". I looked at the Main Page in question before reading the article, and I'm pretty sure that Strong Bad is naked. It would make sense, since everything's blurry, it forms a sort of pre-emptive censorship that's being exploited to allow SB to wander around in the buff. I personally can't see any color difference between his chest and where his underwear should be. After all, the Remark goes on to mention that "he claims he doesn't wear them", so where's the evidence that he's wearing them now? - Ugliness Man 20:42, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Put the glasses on by rolling over "Store". It will then become clear. :) — Has Matt? (talk) 20:44, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

He's clearly naked flesh-tone when blurred, when the glasses are put on, he's wearing underwear. That's the joke - you see he's naked, but there are underpants when the glasses are on. 208.60.233.132 22:45, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

That would work, except for the fact that being able to use the "glasses" to see the other events unblurred is a Flash artifact, and it's hard to say whether or not it's strictly intentional. -YK 00:32, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

No, you're crazy. he has the underpants on when its blurred. someone decompile it and prove me right, but i'm still right. -JamesDean 23:49, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Proved right: on decompiling, the only Strong Body image has underwear on. There is none without it. --DorianGray 06:20, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Cardgage

Are the glasses the same shape/size/style as Senor Cardgage's? If so we may be looking through his eyes. -- 208.60.233.132 22:45, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, they aren't. Would've been cool though! -- 208.60.233.132 23:13, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

They do appear to be similar to Mike's, though I would not note that on the article. Too "spec"ulative (pun happily intended!). - Qermaq - (^T/C)  02:19, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Underwear!

Strong Bad said that he does not wear underwear in New Boots. But he is clearly seen wearing underwear in this main page. I'm gonna put that as an inconsistency. ^Super!Santana^Duper!

It's currently listed in Remarks. Good memory, though! Trey56 23:04, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, I did put it on the inconsistencies article if that is alright.

The Weeklies

The Weeklies do appear blurred to me. ^Super!Santana^Duper!

The buttons yes, but if the actual windows are blurred, you have eye problems. Please consult an eye doctor. --207.155.58.227 02:32, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

The buttons w/glasses

Aren't the buttons AFTER wearing the glasses run through a "sharpen" filter or something of the like? Since your 'vision' becomes sharper, they used "sharpen" on it? Looks like what happens when you sharpen in photoshop, as an example. -- 208.60.233.160 03:58, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

That's what it looked like to me, as well, but there's definitely been some additional effects added. (Speculation - they're not meant to look like bifocal lenses, are they?) -ReverendTed 00:18, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

The Wii

I`m currently typing on a Wii, and I looked at this mainpage and the page was all messed up! First time I viewed it, the whole page had a grey film over it and nothing worked. Second time, the page showed up CRYSTAL CLEAR. The only problem was that the emblems on Homestar's shirt didn't show up at all. Could this have something to do with being on the Wii? - HRFWiki:User:TheDenzel

I believe it's been mentioned, but it's likely something to do with the "blur" filter not working properly in the version of Flash that's included with the Wii's Opera browser. -ReverendTed 00:19, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh. I didn't see that before. I still need to get used to using the Wii's Internet Channel. Woops. TheDenzel

I'm in linux and I also get that gray film. Every time. — Defender1031*Talk 01:46, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Main Page randomizer

Um, has anyone else gotten to this page by clicking "main" on the bottom of the page or "come on in" on the homepage? I tried both of them a hundred times, and never got to Main Page 24. --^{The Goblin!!} 16:01, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

You may be onto something. I didn't get it either.

I tried and got nothing. Maybe this should be mentioned? Awesomermustang 21:06, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure where it is noted, but I know it is someplace, that the later Main Pages are not in the randomizer so won't appear unless specifically requested. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  21:37, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I got Main Pages 21 and 23 on the "main" button but not this. I wouldn't note it unless it wasn't fixed by next week (or the end of the baby break, whichever comes first) Bad Bad Guy 23:14, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

The messages

The main page messages aren't shiny. Should that be mentioned?--^Super!Santana^Duper! 20:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

'Course they're not. They're not about to change all them for a one-page gag. Remember, the main page messages, show up on all the other main pages too. --DorianGray 21:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

20/200

Did anyone consider that the buttons are shinier because when you look through the glasses, you see better making things appear sharper.--^Super!Santana^Duper! 20:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Should they appear sharper than real? Are you implying that all the other main pages are ever so slightly out of focus?-JamesDean 21:16, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Look at the other homepages with the glasses. You'll see that this is indeed the case. 68.124.67.66 03:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

...I'm pretty sure that's not possible. --DorianGray 03:59, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

"pretty sure"? I extracted the glasses with the decompiler and imported them to mainpages #3, 12 and 20 as a test. I didn't do them ALL but it's enough to get the picture. The way I did it, the glasses are permanent - the Store button does what it normally does instead of loading/unloading the glasses. Still, you can tell it's sharper than the version without the glasses.

HAHA my captcha was "FOggie" funny eh? 68.124.67.66 04:03, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
