The Official Homestar Runner Thread: Now with 86% more Burnination

[Kwyjibo]

First get the main link out of the way.

Homestarrunner.net It's Dot Com (http://www.homestarrunner.com)

Good stuff today kids. Here's the link to today's "e-mail" (http://homestarrunner.com/arcadegame.html).

Here's the link to the Trogdor Arcade Game (http://homestarrunner.com/trogdor.html).

Here's a link to the new 20x6 vs. 1936 short (http://homestarrunner.com/20x6vs1936.html).

In the "e-mail" make sure to wait for Homestar to come out and click on his taxes after the animation stops.

[shivui]

shiver with flavor!!

[Kwyjibo]

Here's the link to today's e-mail (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail67.html).

There are several eggs in this one. Just hold down the tab key while the animation plays to find the links.

Also, I was informed today that there is a Strong Sad blog. Click here (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sadjournal/) for Strong Sad's Litany of Crushed Hopes and Dreams.

[whitegirl]

it shocks me that you didnt know about the blog. it was right at the bottom of Strong Bad's website (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbsite/) as made by The Cheat. gotta love it.

first thing i'm getting with my first paycheck and new bank account? stuff from the Homestar Runner store. :)

[whitegirl]

(to the tune of O Holy Night, as interpreted by Strong Bad)

"o holy crap... i just made my 100th pooosstt....
something something something....."

[samanafay]

ha! oh goodness.
whitegirl that was totally funny!

If you go down to the bottom of that page and click the little F10 graphic, you can read StrongSad's Blog. There are some extra goodies like a Homesar party invite and a Valentines day Flash created for Strongsad by The Cheat.

Edit: Oops...I just realized that Kwyjibo already posted that link....you shanked my Jenga-ship!

[Bronzetree]

So, uh, what the hell happened to last week's e-mail where they're playing the Trogdor video game? It's gone. You can find the game under, well, the GAMES section, but the e-mail itself isn't there anymore.

Yup, I noticed that. I guess he's not chillin' in the basement anymore.

Oddly, it seems that there is a lot of stuff that used to be on the HSR site that isn't there any more. Where did the original Teen Girl Squad for instance?

[Steele]

I love that site.

[Kwyjibo]

Sweeeeet! Thanks V.

I thought I had seen all of the SB e-mails. Perhaps I was mistaken.

[vicious]

you may have, but you gotta make sure you check for the secret links!

have you heard the Kinda Long Haired Band? check out the email titled "theme party."

'The circles and the ages, and the ages......skinny blond girl...'

Hilarious.

My favorite is 'techno'....nothing beats the cheat with glowsticks.

[Kwyjibo]

I'm hoping to see Limozeen the next time they make it to town.

[postfeminist]

the trogdor game was amazing! i swear, that site cracks me up...i love showing it to people for the first time...we've taken to calling our dog the "tessanator" because she tessanates everything in her path. and she likes it when we sing the song to her.

[Kwyjibo]

Read today's new e-mail here. (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail68.html)

Click on the word 'caper' after you see the "jumble caper".

After the dialogue finishes wait for a few seconds, and Homestar will come out, after he speaks, click on his slippers.

Click on the The Cheat's eyes at the end of the e-mail.

[Bronzetree]

Yeah, but what's the Jumble answer?

[DogStarMan]

Here's a nice tribute to Homestar Runner. (http://www.verylowsodium.com/band/homestar.mp3) Enjoy.

[Kwyjibo]

I don't know why, but today when I put www.homestarrunner.com in my address bar, I got a King of Town intro, and menu screen. I don't know why, but it was pretty funny.

Make sure to check out the KOT e-mail, it's pretty sweet.

[Juliana]

You guys should thank Kwyj. He called me tonight and said that he realized that the King of Town thing could be an April Fool's thing, and asked if I'd put the links up for the group. Being the mostly okay person that I am, here you go.

King of Town main screen (http://homestarrunner.com/mainking.html)

Game (http://homestarrunner.com/kinggame.html)

This is the download. They say to save it and tile it to your desktop/wallpaper

http://homestarrunner.com/kot.jpg

Email! (http://homestarrunner.com/kingmail.html)

The cartoon is just the regular king/fool of town one, where the sheep are "missing."

I can't figure out how to get the KOT intro though, but it's pretty nice.

[DogStarMan]

Here (http://emotioneric.com/ae/?adv=thefootballgame&page=1) are some pictures of The Brothers Chaps (HSR creators) playing football with Emotion Eric.

[vicious]

don't forget top click homestar's bunny slippers at the very end of the caper short. there's a word jumble!
"i don't care about the crosswords, man - just the jumbles!"

[eurotek1]

i found the clip that went with the trogdor game; it's in the 'shorts' section of the toons menu. look in the tv guide.... :)

also at the end, after home star runs out you can click on the trogdor game and it goes 'trogdor!'

[eurotek1]

wassa deal!!?!?! no new strong bad email yet! you can access email thru tv guide, but no new one yet. there's a new post-it on the puter screen, but it does't link to nuthin! i need my strongbad FIX! NOW!!!!!

[Kwyjibo]

Yeah, I'm confused at that post-it note, which simply reads.

Lookin' at a thing in a bag S.B.

The cursor becomes a hand when you mouse over it, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

[Kwyjibo]

The post-it note takes you to a short today. Or you can link over from the "new short" icon on the home page.

[c-lando]

Maybe Strongbad has a change at running for the Mexican Assembly...

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/asiapcf/east/04/14/offbeat.japan.wrestler.reut/

Strong Bad Email Viewer is a program for Homestar Runner or Strong Bad fans who find the Homestarrunner.com's navigation lacking, or want an interface to view it. This is the Sherlock or Watson of the Homestar Runner world. You can view not only all of Strong Bad's emails, from a list with the names, but all of the Toons, shorts, holiday specials, and marzipan's answering machine.

That just boggles the mind. I can only wonder what would take place at "the meeting"......

~~~~~~~get it, wavy dream lines~~~~~~~~~~

Pin the tail on the Strongmad.
Strongsad morose poetry contests.
Dress up like your favorite character and roleplay (I want to be Strongbad so I can punch you all).
In depth discussion on the origins of Homesar and hat the hell he's talking about.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, thank god it was only a dream. :rolleyes:

[Sindi]

have you heard the Kinda Long Haired Band? check out the email titled "theme party."

I tried this but it was only the email. What do I have to do to see the 'Kinda Long Haired Band'?

[postfeminist]

meeting up with other HSR fans?

uh-oh.

i just wanna join the strong sad fan club.

[Steele]

TROGDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kwyjibo]

Check the shorts section for a new Teen Girl Squad!

No new SB e-mail today though.

[DogStarMan]

Has anyone checked out the new Strongbad clock (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbclock.html)? I just downloaded it and may I say it's pretty soothing.

[overcrowdedair]

[Juliana]

I just wanted to see what would happen


Burnination (Http://trogdor.com)

[lawdog]

Okay, this week's SB e-mail has an Easter Egg that I missed. When Strong Bad is spinning around on his head (perhaps breakdancing?) with the floppy disk taped to his forehead, the floppy disk is a link. It only appears briefly, though, and I missed clicking on it twice, and then was too lazy to go back and watch the intro and try again. Did anyone catch it? Is it worth my while to go back and look at it?

[Juliana]

It took my little sister and I like 6 tries, but we finally got it.

It's Homestar coming out and talking a little. It was funny, but don't watch it 6 times in order to do it.

[lawdog]

Thanks Juliana. You're swell.




Thought I'd better be polite and say thanks, lest you carve me up with your switchblade...pH33R Juliana and her blade!

[Bronzetree]

I tried a half dozen times to hit that damned thing and missed it every time, finally giving up. FABO. I still wanna see it.

[Kwyjibo]

Has anybody played the Population: Tire game yet? Jeez, it's hard as shit.

[c-lando]

Wow! This week's e-mail is a serious cliffhanger. I can't wait to see what the hell Strongbad does to Jerome. Err...I mean to Homestar Runner.

(btw, I started singing "The Never-Ending Soda" right before HSR did. It was awesome!)

[Misfitt]

Originally posted by Kwyjibo

I'm pretty proud of my "YOUR BEST: 237" score. But I have a feeling that's nothing compared to some of those die hard HSR fans.

[somemightsay]

Here's a lil' tip my computer geek friend filled me in on for hitting the hard to nail secret items during the emails. Just hold down the tab button during the entire email. Whenever something secret comes up, it will bring up a yellow box around the area you're supposed to hit with your mouse. The thing is that this can be really tough like with the one when Strongbad is bouncing through the room with a disk taped to his head. Instead of trying to hit him with your mouse, just hit the spacebar and it will access the box everytime without fail! Thought, I'd share. Make the hard ones a breeze.

[samanafay]

i just watched this week's email. and that was a nice touch. oh homestar and c-lando, you are clever ones indeed.

Yeah, I already tried that. Tried it again today and I STILL can't hit it. What the hell is it? I can't torture myself trying anymore.

[eurotek1]

this week's was absa-frickin-lutely hilarious.

[Sindi]

I just noticed the Homestarrunner store has figurines now. Set of nine for $30.00. Seems kind of pricey but I don't know, I don't normally buy stuff like that.

I wish they had a Japanese animation Strong Bad.

Man, I wish I owned a pair of 3D glasses...

[DudeMan]

every time I wear my homestar runner t-shirt out, it never fails to generate a few "right on's", particularly among the slave-wagers at various retail outlets.

[Misfitt]

Hey where'd that choir come from?

[berzerker]

Didja see that Homestar's on the cover of today's Cincinnati Inquirer? An artice about the site's burgeoning cult status...

[Juliana]

No email again this week, but there is a new short here (http://www.homestarrunner.com/mrshmallow.html)

[lawdog]

Yeah, and WTF is up with that. Did you notice that the e-mail screen now says "Updated somedays" instead of "updated Mondays." How can I be expected to get out of bed on Monday morning and face the week without the promise of Strong Bad?

[Juliana]

has anybody heard anything?
They've not updated this week.

[Juliana]

Word on the street is that THIS (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail81.html) is the new Strong Bad email, but I can't get the link to work.

It works, it's just not that funny this week.

Is anybody else having problems running today's new Teen Girl Squad?

From Creative Loafing's* BEST OF ATLANTA ISSUE...

Critics' Picks - Best Local Website
It won't help you get a job, tell you what bands are playing this weekend or find you a mortgage company, but HOMESTARRUNNER.COM might make you laugh. And, if you're a local webmaster, its mastery of Flash animation will turn you green with envy. Homestar Runner is the eponymous protagonist in a series of online cartoons created by brothers Matt and Mike Chapman and populated by a collection of simple-minded, Pokemon-meets-SpongeBob characters with names like Strong Bad, Marzipan and Poopsmith. Although it's remained largely underground (until a recent New York Times profile, that is) homestarrunner.com has built a national word-of-mouth following that includes a few well-known indie musicians. One such fan, Lou Barlow of Sebadoh, hired the brothers to create a Folk Implosion video simply on the strength of their online doodling.



*(CL is like City Beat)

[lawdog]

Okay, in the most recent Strong Bad E-mail (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail93.html), what's up with the second easter egg at the end? If you watch it all the way through, click on the words "No idea." It sounds like Homestar is saying...well, I don't want to give you any predisposed notions if you haven't watched it yet, but what do you all think he's saying about what kind of soldier the popcorn popper was?

[postfeminist]

ooh! my honey got me a The Cheat hoodie for my winter holiday gift! i love it! :)

the cheat is grounded.

[JSpaceman]

OK, just a little question for people with better memories than I have. Which episode has Homestar and Strongmad trying to pronounce "FHQHGDS" (or however it's spelled) with Strongbad saying "say it with a flourish!"? I keep quoting that at work and can't remember which e-mail it's from...

[David D Day]

Does anyone use the Ezboard?

[cheesy79]

The episode where they are trying to pronouce Fhqwhgads is the "Sibbie" episode.

scrolly way on down to the bottom of the emails and you'll see one called "i love you." that's fhqwhgads.

[JSpaceman]

Ahhh.... Sibbie was the one I was thinking of... thanks!

[vicious]

Originally posted by JSpaceman

my bad - that's what i get for half-ass reading your post. i just saw fhqwhgads and thought that's the one you were looking for.

[thelunarbee]

So my brother and I were having this huge argument over whether the last time they updated was Dec 15th or 18th. I went to check and, what do you know? They had just updated it. Finally!

Except now my we can't settle our argument. Anyone know whether it was the 15th or the 18th? My brother's life depends on it.

[JSpaceman]

My sweet lord... I think that's when you know you're obsessed if you're trying to remember the last time the site was updated when it's now been updated. Um... but it was December 15th.

[JSpaceman]

And yet another update today... a crappy one, but still an update.

[HappyKeys]

Too tired to read through the rest of this thread, so apologies if I rehash an old topic. Just viewed the latest Halloween cartoon. Strong Sad as David Byrne is HILARIOUS. Especially the "extra" stuff he says at the end.

[thelunarbee]

Ha! I knew it! I told that weasely sack of shit brother of mine it was the 15th! Bwah ha ha!

In other news, I fully realize I asked this question a month ago and am finally getting around to seeing if anyone answered it.

There was a new sbemail last week. Ho-hum, though. Last weekend my brother (a different one) and I re-watched Trevor the Vampire, which was further proof that the older ones are waaaaay funnier than the newer ones.

[JSpaceman]

There's a new one again today and it's pretty good...

"It's the Thnikkaman!"

[Mona]

the site hasn't been working for me for the past week or two...anyone else been having a problem? i'm missing all these damn emails! :(

No, all good on Senor Cardgage's end. I'd blame the Thnikkaman. "Yeah, shut up kids!"

[Mona]

yeah, I still cannot load anything on the site at all. just a white box in the center..do I need to download a newer version of the flash player or something??
someone help!!!

[thelunarbee]

New Teen Girl Squad.

Ech.

[thelunarbee]

Oh and one more thing, there's a relatively new sbemail... fairly funny. There's a cool song anyway.

different stuff (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail99.html)

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I was so happy to see a new TGS! Even though I was hoping for e-mail #100. Ah, well...

"SAILING MISHAP!!!" :D

[thelunarbee]

Dunno what it is, I just cannot get into TGS.
It sort of reminds me of how I don't find Aqua Teen Hunger Force very funny. At all.

Guess I'm just wacky that way.

[ApplesauceDave]

Are you some sort of super- Alien clone robot thing, lunarbee? Next to the SB emails, teen girl squad is like the best stuff on the site. Every human that I know who has seen it likes it, so I'm kinda worried.

[SenorCardgage]

Yeah, TGS is damn catchy with it's music and one liners (MSG'D, CHILDREN, PERCH), but I have to agree with thelunarbee. Just can't get into Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

[thelunarbee]

Originally posted by ApplesauceDave

No I'm not, but I once had a dream about super-Alien creatures that you could only kill by hitting them with a special (magical?) stick on the back of their heads. That was a pretty neat dream.

Now, now, though, do not even try to make me feel guilty for not liking TGS. I don't hate it, I just don't appreciate it. Or something like that.

[JSpaceman]

Damn! We keep looking for Strongbad e-mail #100, but still no dice. New answering machine though, with Strongbad trying to instruct Homestar on making prank calls...

[ApplesauceDave]

This weeks update was not all that great in my opinion. I know it's still better than I could do, but I was kinda disappointed.

[JSpaceman]

Hopefully that's because they're spending their energy planning for a big 100th e-mail celebration fandango. ;)

[SenorCardgage]

Another Monday comes and goes without the 100th email... {sigh}

[ApplesauceDave]

... or any sign of an update at all. They're toying with my mind and it's working.

[ApplesauceDave]

It may not be the real thing, but it's still pretty funny. I tried to type the html for email 100 out of desperation, and something cool came up. http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail100.html

[JSpaceman]

THAT'S AWESOME!!! I gotta give them props for at least that.

"Teach you to poke around in my HTML!"

:D :D :D

[thelunarbee]

I love they way they taunt us so...

next they need to pull an April Fool's stunt like they did on South Park when they were supposed to show the episode about who Cartman's father is but they showed some lame-ass Terence and Phillip thing instead...

No, they definitely do NOT need to do that... :(

Yeah, I was just rethinking that statement myself... I think if they value their lives they will not do that...

Is it the link? Because it seems to work fine.

Or is it taking FOREVER to load? Especially if you are a loser like me and have dial-up. Also, it could have been down for a minute- it seemed like they still had a few bugs to work out.

[JSpaceman]

Pretty damned good e-mail, but not quite the 100th e-mail jambaroo I was hoping for. The easter eggs at the end are probably the best part- especially with the return of Limozeen and Senor Cardgage!!!

[SenorCardgage]

Originally posted by JSpaceman

Yeah, not quite a jambaroo, but the return of Senor was great. As much as I don't like Marzipan, her qwip about catching up with the answering machine was good.

[ApplesauceDave]

It definately didn't dissapoint.

[thelunarbee]

I dunno about the rest of you, but I am having some issues with the Easter Eggs at the end running properly.

They work fine for me... do you maybe have a popup blocker that would screw them up?

[thelunarbee]

No popup blocker. Maybe it's Safari related.

[JSpaceman]

A new toon today... Strong Bad and the Cheat attempt more capers and end up getting thrown in the slam... :D


Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon (http://homestarrunner.com/jailcartoon.html)

"Don't waste your time on those plain old chocolates- those things are fools gold!"

[ApplesauceDave]

The new toon is very sweet, though it is a bit long.

"Sweet Lady Freedom! Let's Make out!"

"Its like this... the ransom money becomes the new retirement money. The retirement money becomes the college fund money. The college fund money... we blow on a really tricked out van."

By the way, Strong Bad ended up in the pages of this week's Newsweek in the back under "ways to waste you boss' time at work." Homestarrunner is seriously one great site. I mean, its hard to be THAT funny and THAT family friendly too.

Go Strongbadia!

[ApplesauceDave]

The affore-mentioned king of town main page can be found here. There is no link to it, but it still exists nonetheless:

King of town main page (http://www.homestarrunner.com/mainking.html)

Also, I think I found what seems to be an old characters page. There are no links to it from h-r.com, but it also still exists. I wonder if all their old stuff is like this.

Damn, you must really be scouring those pages! :D

Have you seen this site? They finally updated it to include the 100th e-mail...
Strong Bad Secrets (http://starbase.globalpc.net/~bhz/cgi-bin/strongbad/index.html)

[ApplesauceDave]

Yeah, ive seen the site, but you really don't need it. All you have to do is press tab to cycle through the links if there are any. They show up with a yellow box around them. Also typing stuff into a search engine leads to some of the stuff that isn't linked at all on their site.

[JSpaceman]

But who wants to keep hitting tab for three minutes when they could lazily be kicking back and enjoying the e-mail? :D

[ApplesauceDave]

I usually hit tab the second time I watch it. With broadband at home and LAN in my dorm room, The stuff loads really fast and watching it twice takes hardly any time at all.

[ApplesauceDave]

They just updated the site. I won't spoil the surprise, but don't go into the site by typing the main page url. Just go to www.homestarrunner.com and wait to see what happens. Completely whacked.

[JSpaceman]

Damn, you beat me to it!!! Good stuff. Gotta love anime Strong Bad.

[JSpaceman]

"Correct me if I'm wrong but are you asking for a CHALLENGE???"


Dot dot dot- 20XT6.

[SenorCardgage]

That made my day...

"Hey Stinko Man!"

[c-lando]

I want a can of Eww.

[c-lando]

I BAKED YOU A CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

[JSpaceman]

"We deserve a break! Eating pudding with a SPOON!!!!"

[ApplesauceDave]

New toon powered by the cheat. He gets new boots and pours hot soup in homestar's eyes! There is also a music video by Coach Z called the Hip Hop Dance. Its pretty sweet.

[RascalMJ]

Coach Z.........how come you don't dance no more

[JSpaceman]

Gimme a chance to do a hip-hop dance, gimmee a chance!!!

Still no update this week... (sigh)

[mdewees]

I danced tonight, just like a burninator!

I'm going to date the tire...someday.

[ApplesauceDave]

And I thought you were talking about an update. Not cool man. Not cool.

[JSpaceman]

There'd damn well be an update tomorrow, or I'm going to start burninating stuff. A thatched roof cottage here, and a thatched roof cottage there...

Damnit. Now that's stuck in my head.

[ApplesauceDave]

Finally, an update. A pretty good update. Check it out.

[JSpaceman]

Yeah, definitely another good one... but do they have to take two damned weeks to do it? :(

[JSpaceman]

Finally, an e-mail that's on time!


"Either of you ladies gonna get me my cod plank platter????"

[RascalMJ]

That is so fake...seriously......you can see the strings

[lraymond]

LEEKO LEEKO LEEKO I'M A SQUEAKY GUY!

[c-lando]

GREAT new e-mail...
There are LOTS of fun extras, too. :)

Hooray for the box!!!!!!!!!!!

[Juliana]

Bah.
I wish I could install Flash here at work.

[JSpaceman]

Yet another terrific e-mail... um, does anybody get the Julian Sands reference? Cause I sure don't... maybe it's just a random?


"It's tough being a box... but I'm livin' it up, livin' it up..." :D

[RascalMJ]

Ah haha...I will make that cardboard box dance and prancee later, big guy

[SenorCardgage]

Brainy Smurf...that carpenter smurf

[JSpaceman]

Cheat Commandos! (http://homestarrunner.com/cheatcommando.html) Rock, rock on!

[JSpaceman]

Yet another great new Strong Bad e-mail... :D


"Everybody loves this, everybody needs this... it's time for funny stuff..."

[RascalMJ]

New cheat commandos

[Bronzetree]

DirecTV finally got G4TV (which I guess merged with TechTV recently) and there was a show on interviewing the Brothers Chaps. No idea how old it was, but it was pretty funny and informative. So weird to see them voicing the characters.

[c-lando]

The Cheatar? Check.
More Commandos? Check.
New Strongbad E-mail with Theme Park? Check.

What a great week in Strongbadia, Population: Tire.

[Cpt. Greencoat]

To all you crazy Homestar fans, check out me and my buddy's cover of the Trogdor song. It's in true Limozeen style complete with a guitar solo "way up high on the tiny strings" :D

Trogdor!! (http://www.penguatic.com/EQ/Trogdor.mp3)

Enjoy!

[Santos-Dumont]

there is now a new strongbad email and a new puppet jam featuring "they might be giants"

[72valiant]

[c-lando]

[ApplesauceDave]

???
I guess that's alright with me. I mean... what?

[JSpaceman]

Senor Cardgage returns... Senor Cardgage Mortgage! "No probalo."

[Cpt. Greencoat]

I believe Fire Hums was referring to this (http://www.penguatic.com/EQ/Trogdor.mp3) cover of the Trogdor song. Me and my guitarist did it months ago when the e-mail was brand spankin' new.

And I get no lovin' Hums?? I played on it too :(

[JSpaceman]

New Strong Bad e-mail today. Celebrating the Cheat's Cheatday. Grood stuff.

Yeah, I noticed that when I saw it the second time around. Doh!

BTW, There's a little hidden one if you click on one of the top lights in the opening menu... not so great, though- Homestar puppet talking to a little girl...

[Modnar]

There's a video (http://www.homestarrunner.com/expfilm.html) for the song 'Experimental Film' that's from the new They Might Be Giants album (The Spine) up today. I'm holding off on watching it until I get my CD in the mail. It's directed by Strong Sad and The Cheat.

[redmeg8]

Must. Go. Watch. Trogdor game preview. Go. Now.
http://www.homestarrunner.com/pqtrailer.html

This message brought to you by Rather Dashing in his short pants.
:D oh, I'm gonna be giggling about this all day.

[JSpaceman]

Yeah, the game preview was hilarious. The e-mail was a bit lacking though.

[berzerker]

The video is funny...

[SenorCardgage]

New Email up today...

"He's got the heart of a champion..."

[JSpaceman]

You beat me to it- another great e-mail... "you know the storm that will unleash!"

"Oh Tendafoot, can you tell me how to get the most out of life?"

[redmeg8]

"Oh Tenderfoot, I think I'm at a crossroads.... Oh Tenderfoot, can you give me some sound financial advice?"

Oh man, are these tears of laughter or of.... bawwww!!!! lil brudder!!!!! :(

[postfeminist]

the new sb email rules. i loved it. heart of a champion should be everyone's signature.

[shadowfeather]

I like the poopsmith. I am going to ask him to make me special garden gnomes. Made of poop.

[JSpaceman]

New game on the site: Peasant's Quest (http://homestarrunner.com/disk4of12.html)

[shadowfeather]

I died! I died! Woooo hoooooooo!!!

[JSpaceman]

That game's damned hard. Or stupid, I'm not sure which... I don't get it.

[shadowfeather]

The second one, I think.

[RascalMJ]

No way.....that game is super awesome

Took forever to beat

[ApplesauceDave]

I just gave up after like 5 minutes.

[JSpaceman]

OK, I want tips and hints... and a map. And I want it by noon, ya hear?

[Misfitt]

I have successfully scored 152 out of 150 points. I am the wiener!!!! I can answer all of your Peasent's Quest inquiries.

[JSpaceman]

How do you find whatever the woman says her baby left in the yard?

[Santos-Dumont]

I got this one, you have to systematically check each one of the bushes around the cottage and it will be in one of them but you have to type in "get berries" or "eat berries" or something

[JSpaceman]

Ah, OK... damn, I've never been good at these types of games. :(

[Santos-Dumont]

ME either, thats just about the only thing I accomplished in that game and I quicly lost interest.

[JSpaceman]

Found the map. Now we're getting somewheres.

[JSpaceman]

Anybody have the game freeze up on them? I went to the map and now it won't switch back to the damn game screen!

[RascalMJ]

I had the game freeze up on me, and was able to start back where I left off cuz it did an auto save......well, it was at least pretty close to where I was. I didn't have to start over. I would recommend saving from time to time though

[P.O.D. Warrior]

I don't like the game at all. It's not my type of game.

[chicodaman]

Please, Everybody check out the new email. That shit is crazy.

*singing* now you can count to three.

[JSpaceman]

Unnecessary comma...

I've got two words for the children that are raised on that crap: HELD BACK. REPEATING THE THIRD GRADE. LOW STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES. I GUESS THIS WAS MORE THAN TWO WORDS. THE PAPER, PLEASE TAKE US HOME.

:D

[redmeg8]

I'm a trendy totebag!

(ah ahahhahahahaaaaaa!!!!!)

[vanler]

for the record: my girlfriend just got a kitten and named it, TROGDOR!!! Not a seemingly appropriate name for a female kitten, but somehow, it works.

http://www.orphankittenrescue.com/albums/adopted2004/trudys_grey.jpg

TROGDOR!!!

note* kitten pictured here not actual girlfriends kitten. good likeness though

[RascalMJ]

Evidentally, if you play the game and type what SB does in his e-mail.....something very hilarious will happen. On my way to check it out now

[JSpaceman]

Um... which game? :confused:

[Mona]

I found a walkthrough, for those of you stuck in Peasant's Quest:
Peasant's Quest Walkthrough (http://www.elitebastards.com/hanners/pqwalkthrough.txt)
it's pretty straightforward, doesn't mention some of the fun stuff that you can do by poking around a lot, but I found it really helpful as I suck at these games and would have never figured a bunch of this shit out on my own.

[JSpaceman]

Wow, and it only took a week! I didn't get too far in the game, even after I printed out the map. Maybe I'll give it another try.

[JSpaceman]

Got a new friend hooked on Homestar tonight... rock, rock on...


(it's like heroin, ya know)

[ApplesauceDave]

New email today. I need some serious piemonade.

[JSpaceman]

New Teen Girl Squad (so-so) and answering machine... "Bob Statesman" is hilarious...

[redmeg8]

It answers by the name of "Flamingo"!
This is the K.O.T. in the place to be...

aahahahahaaaa!!
sigh. that made my day. :D

[JSpaceman]

There's a new e-mail (Poopsmith spotlight) and a crappy game "Duck Guardian..."

[SenorCardgage]

Originally posted by JSpaceman

Not a bad email. Lots of little hidden goodies like the "West Is Lip" cover and the discovery of the comma. :D

[ApplesauceDave]

Puppet stuff today:

Todaybor day is labor day!

Hillarious.

[ApplesauceDave]

Anybody else notice that when you mouse over games on this (http://www.homestarrunner.com/main21.html) menu, it sounds like Photobooth from Death Cab's Forbidden love EP? check it out here (http://www.epitonic.com/artists/deathcabforcutie.html)(scroll down for the download link) Maybe the Chaps brothers are fans of the non-mainstream modern rock.

Yeah, I see what you mean... although that's kind of a common-sounding rhythm thingie...

[ApplesauceDave]

You also have to consider that theve featured TMBG several times on their site.

[c-lando]

Why the hell did the school bell say "Bill Bellamy" on it? Everything in this episode made me laugh.

[ApplesauceDave]

New email. It's okay. The dogfood gangstas got me cracking up, though.

Canned or dry,
We neva die.

The funniest shite in TGS is always the left field stuff that makes no sense. TTGS was funny, just not as funny to me as the "regular" ones...

[JSpaceman]

"You're dressed like a ship's captain. Tell my why you're dressed like a ship's captain."

[SenorCardgage]

New email...

Fact 2: "Garbledina"

"That's Bupkis!"

[RascalMJ]

Homestar runner will be right, right back

Homestar runner will be right, right back

Homestar runner will be right, right back

We're coming right back after these messages

We're coming right back after these messa.....ges!

[ApplesauceDave]

Anyone else think that the Cheat Commando's aren't all that great?

It's better than I could do, but considering how cool the rest of the site is, that section is kinda lacking.

[JSpaceman]

Yeah, I saw "new Cheat Commandos" this morning and wasn't too thrilled... I'd much rather see a new e-mail... ah, well...

[The Schnoo]

I dunno, I kind of enjoy, mostly cause I love GI Joe so much. It's not quite as funny as the emails and such, it's still pretty funny, and you have to admit the twin babies was pretty fucking funny.

-The Schnoo

[JSpaceman]

One of the funnier e-mails in a while... time capsule.

"What is this, some sort of a CHALLENGE buried in the dirt?"

And another Strong Bad #1 hit... "Grumblecakes..."

[SenorCardgage]

Great email....right about.....NOW....no wait.....5...4...3...2...1...NOW!

[RascalMJ]

New e-mail

Pretty funny stuff

[JSpaceman]

"I would like to be your girlfriend based solely on your awesome boots!"

"You guys are watching a picture of Andy Griffith taped to a TV?"

"I really got, I really gotta pee-pee... I really got, I really gotta pee-pee..."

:D
