Stub?

I've did some changes to the article. the point I am trying to make here is...it is'nt a stub. you can delort this and that.

What? The only change you made to this page was adding the link to the stub template four extra times. Why did you do this? If you thought this article wasn't a stub, wouldn't you remove the stub link? I'd like some clarification. -- Tom 14:31, 19 Oct 2004 (MST)

IMBS?

What proof is there that the Mike Chapman linked to in IMDB is the same Mike Chapman who does HR? --24.21.86.243 17:27, 6 Jan 2005 (MST)

Nevermind, researched it myself --24.21.86.243 17:33, 6 Jan 2005 (MST)

The Tech?

Is it really accurate to refer to Mike as "the tech" for HSR? In most interviews, TBC make it clear that both of them do the under-the-hood Flash work. Eric 13:56, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Poor Mike

Why come Mike gets a little stubby 2 paragraph article, and Matt gets a whole page that I had to actually scroll to read all of? They both deserve much love! Ookelaylay 19:47, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Matt does more of the public stuff and interviews, so we know more about him than we do about Mike. Seems unfair, but we can't very well make up stuff to put here can we? Username-talk 03:16, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Birthday?

I just watched Arcade Game using the rando link, and in the Easter Egg (Homestar's taxes) it mentions $2.07. Possible birthday for Mike? --11945 (^Talk/_Ctrbs) 16:24, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure... I never hear mention of when Mike's B-day was. Homestramy20|^Talk 17:35, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

That'd be neat if we could solve it... And Matt's birthday is the first of November. --DorianGray

That's what I was thinking... --11945 (^Talk/_Ctrbs) 17:59, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

I didn't get much out of several Google searches; IMDB only knows what we know, that he was born in '73. I did discover that there's a Michael Chapman teaching physics at Georgia Tech. I think he makes this month's cover of Stupid Coincidence Magazine. —AbdiViklas 18:02, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Don't forget this Michael Chapman on the cover of SCM. I'm also Google searching. --11945 (^Talk/_Ctrbs) 18:07, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, he was all the heck over the searches, since he also goes by Mike. I meant the coincidence with the phys prof was that he was in Atlanta. —AbdiViklas 18:10, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Family Tree

I've made a picture of the Chapman Family Tree. Does anybody mind if I put it up on this page? -AtionSong 22:54, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

You might want to take a look at how Wikipedia does it to get some ideas. -- Tom 05:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I created a test tree here. Should I create a page, like Chapman Family and post it there? -AtionSong 17:42, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, here's the link: Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Family trees, I made typo above. -- Tom 20:45, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured it out and deleted it. Thanks for the page. So, what should I do with it? -AtionSong 22:02, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

This convo seems sorta dead, so I'll put in my thoughts. I think that this isn't really necessary, since all of the info of family is already on their pages. But maybe we could make a Chapman and family category. Any other ideas? — DBK! 02:57, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Voice of the Cheat?

We know Mike does the PBTC voices, but is he actually the voice of The Cheat? I keep hearing from various websites that he is. Danny Lilithborne 23:00, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Matt does The Cheat, in both regular and PBTC toons, AFAIK. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  23:05, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I've never seen visual & audio match-up proof of Matt producing a The Cheat noise. But I have seen and heard Mike do The Cheat (perhaps on a DVD), and it's just not the same. Matt does The Cheat AFAIK, too. —BazookaJoe 00:00, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Quote from the Inkhole Interview:

INKHOLE: Do you even record new Cheat sounds?

MATT: You know what? I do! Which is ridiculous. There are probably thousands of Cheat sounds and it’s me pretty much doing the same thing. I’ve never even thought of that. I record new lines for The Cheat every cartoon. Maybe once in a while, if it’s just one line and he gets kicked or something, we’ll grab it from something else. But yeah, when we’re recording, he’s scripted in there like everybody else. I want to put out a CD that’s all the Cheat’s lines that tell you what he’s saying. Usually from context, you can tell what he’s saying. That’s hilarious. I’m going to keep doing it though, just because.

So I think it's safe to say that Matt is the voice of the Cheat. --phlip ^T_C 03:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, guys. :) Danny Lilithborne 05:17, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Music

We should probably change some of the album names for Mike's (and I think Matt's) page. Are they a little off? Like, instead ofv Modern Lovers- Modern Lovers, isn't it 'Precise Modern Lovers? It was just bugging me.
