Talk:FunMachine
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Come ON!!!!! I'm trying to do something worth something. Give me a chance to get it cleaned up and looking good. If you feel like seeing this article stay on the site, then you can give me a hand, because I still have two other projects to work on. You can also help me out on Catch Phrases. · · T2|Things

[edit] Fun Machine=NES?
We never see the Fun Machine, and it's never talked about. It's only mentioned on the cover of the game boxes. Why is it specifically an NES parody? Why would the Homestar Universe need NES parodies when they have actual NESs?--Antisexy 19:47, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- We have never seen an NES in the Homestar Runner Universe (besides in Bug In Mouth Disease, but that really doesn't count). The main thing that notably makes it an NES parody is that there is a "FunMachine" and "Super Funmachine," a pun on the NES and the SNES. The graphics are also clearly different. But apparently, as the discussion I'm about to start below, apparently it's a look-alike of the-- 2600?! --68.94.95.107 01:35, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
[edit] So, what do we do?
As we've seen in SBCG4AP, the FunMachine is apparently a look-alike of the Atari. What exactly should we do to distinguish 2600 and FunMachine appearances? --68.94.95.107 01:35, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wait....
Wasn't the funmachine also viewable in the SB main page?Wise dude321 17:07, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, but I guess we all assume that in this case it is an Atari. Apparently the FunMachine has an NES controller, while an actual Atari has an, well, Atari controller. --75.5.176.233 18:51, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
[edit] SBCG4AP
At the bottom, in the "Appearances" Section, we have an unusually large block of text. Specifically:
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People — A FunMachine can be found in Strong Bad's room and can be used to play a certain game that differs by each episode, including Snake Boxer 5, Math Kickers, Limozeen's Hot Babelien Odyssey, Space Circus Catastrophe, and Gel-Arshie's Pro Fruitboarder. In Baddest of the Bands, Strong Bad holds and competes in a Battle Royale of the Bands competition to help with FunMachine repair funds. In Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, the FunMachine is located in the Computer Room instead.
It seems like it would make more sense to have all these details at the top of the page, in the actual main text, and then in the Appearences section simply list the Episodes. The New Uzi Bazooka 11:45, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- You are absolutely right. Feel free to be bold. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 13:54, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
