[[Image:dween cast.png|thumb|220px|Fifty-five days after Halloween]]
'''Decemberween''' (also called [[what I want|X-berween]] and D'Ween) is a [[holiday]] celebrated by the people of [[Free Country, USA]] 55 days after [[Halloween]], on December 25. It bears many similarities to '''[[Wikipedia:Christmas|Christmas]]''', with colorful lights, garlands, and the giving of presents, but also has some obvious differences. Though Christmas carols have made appearances ("O Holy Night" in [[A Holiday Greeting]], "O Christmas Tree" in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and "Jingle Bells" in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]), their correct words are never sung and only the tune is used. [[Decemberween food]] has some unique variations on more recognizable cuisine. Instead of turkeys and hams, the traditional meal is bunnies, much to [[Marzipan]]'s chagrin. The origins of the holiday are complicated, involving at least one Angel, two [[Kobe|Kobe Bryants]], the [[Wikipedia:Santa Claus|Santa Claus]]-like [[Dr. Christmas]], a sailor named [[Archibald]], and [[The King of Town (Decemberween)|The King of Town]]. Although the holiday's origins are explained in the pageant in [[A Decemberween Pageant]], only glimpses of it are seen in the [[toon]], leaving most of the story a mystery. In the [[Old-Timey]] days, Decemberween is described as "the most sanitary time of year", and was celebrated by piling up all the dead rats one has accumulated over the year. Decemberween can also be celebrated in [[Decemberween in July|July]], time permitting. There were no Decemberween cartoons in 2003, 2005, 2009, or 2011, although the latter two years were due the site being on hiatus.

Every year, [[Strong Sad]] is trapped in the bathtub so he won't be able to enjoy Decemberween with [[The Brothers Strong|his brothers]] and The Cheat.

== Fanstuff Discussion ==

I was the one who originally said this was better left for being on the fanstuff wiki (I put the deleted thing on, but [[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] removed it I guess). Anyone else thinks this should be put as fanstuff? Because it's not a part of the official homestarrunner.com site. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:This differs from fanstuff, as this is an official licensed Homestar Runner game (like the long-delayed [[Homestar Runner RPG]] or the appearance of "Trogdor" in [[Guitar Hero]]). Since it is official licensed (and even being "developed" by Videletrix), then this will be documented by the regular Wiki. The same thing would count towards things like [[Strong Bad Gameways]] or any of the [[:Category:Interviews and Public Appearances|live appearances]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yup, exactly right. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Besides, it's mentioned on the official Homestar Runner site! --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Game News Soon doesn't direct to anything, so it may not be possible this is the same thing. But whatever. '''Close this mess.''' {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::The news isn't supposed to be revealed in full for another hour and forty-five minutes. Keep your pants on, for real. Anyway, it's fairly obvious that this game and the notice on the site are related. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Info For you! ==

Intrepid editors may find [http://www.telltalegames.com/strongbad/faq this page] helpful. It's not 100% done yet but since we're running late we wanted to get something up with more info. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 22:22, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:Heyyyyy, the whole site is up now! --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 22:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Some info for you: I have a [[Wii]], and have every episode of [[SBCG4AP]] on it, and have all of the free demos of them on my computer. So I can help with a few things. And shouldn't each page of SBCG4AP, such as [[Homestar Ruiner]], have links to pages like: [[Homestar Ruiner Walkthrough]], and [[Homestar Ruiner Responses]]? Sende feedback please. -{{User:Mas12806/sig}} 21:17, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
:They do, on the template. {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 21:22, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Oh, that Template. Got it. Thanks. -{{User:Mas12806/sig}} 21:53, 15 November 2008
== And you can play too! ==

Too bad this game can't be played by me. Not everyone's good enough to get a Wii. Although the article says it's also for the PC, I highly doubt that will be a reality. It makes me so frustrated when new consoles come out. Especially onces that cost over 200 USD, when I could get something productive (Like Photoshop CS3 Extended) for 320 USD. Which I ''will'' get 'cause I have no Wii. Why not get the wii, you ask? Because I want my damnz photoshop! Been entirely too long since I last had it. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:It will be out for the PC. Guaranteed. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 23:13, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::What retailers will you be distributing to? Target? Wal-Mart? If it's K-Mart, I advise against it. Madison, WI has '''no K-Marts whatsoever'''. Also, will it be good for only Vista? Because I can't switch to Vista, my computer won't allow me to upgrade my BIOS to do so. Besides, dozens upon dozens of users say Vista is crap for Gaming. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::Our first run distribution is almost always through our website as downloads. With Sam & Max, we released the games as downloads and then once the whole season was over we assembled a disc and offered it up free to season subscribers. Not sure if that's what we're doing for Strong Bad (nobody tells me anything fun), but they will be available to download from our site. And no, they won't be Vista only. Our system spec is pretty generous in fact, so it shouldn't require too new and crazy a computer. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 23:18, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Do you expect people to buy over the Internet only? Or are the downloads free? Because I somewhat despise Internet purchasing. Of course, I do have a Debit Card (Sorry, will never, ever use a Credit Card) if I so need to do an online transaction. But I haven't used the card in over 4 months. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::It sounds like Tabacco answered this in his last post: they'll certainly be available for download, but if that's not an option for you, it's possible that they will be eventually released on disc format. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::Some sites require you to pay for certain downloads though. Like "Adobe Extend." {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::::Yep, this game will cost money, just as the exclusive DVD content does through the Homestar Runner store. It's good too; I've often wondered if there was a way for TBC to make some money off of their games! Fans have been able to support them by buying DVDs for a while, so I think this is great. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Still awaiting answer for if we ''have'' to buy over the Internet, or if we can send in check/money orders. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::We also accept Paypal and Wire Transfer. You can use the latter if you like. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 23:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::You stil didn't say if I can use check or money order though; I will only use them. If you can't do money order / etc. it's better off not to purchase. Not everyone likes the Internet... I'm sure not liking it anymore... I've been distancing myself from it more and more. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:::::::No, we don't take checks or money order. You sound pretty determined not to purchase, so I'm not sure why you're so insistent on pushing the issue, honestly. I think we can call this closed. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 00:01, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Well, since homestarrunner.com's toons always seems to reference old technology (with the exception of the cheat's computer, and Pom'Pom's technology) it makes sense to allow people to send you checks and money orders. Mind you, checks are not as old as regular legal tender >>; I was originally going to try out this game in the future, but you've made me not want to. Not like it'd support an Intel GFX Card anydangway. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

==New trailer on GT==
Ok so on Gametrailers.com They have a new trailer for it!!! check it out [http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32715.html] {{User:Coach B/sig}}
:Actually, that's the same thing as [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Gameplay Trailer|this]]. {{User:DevonM/sig}}

== Legal Rampage Issue ==

Transcripts are at the heart of our wiki, allowing us to have a reference guide for Homestarrunner.com and to save us the hassle of sitting through an entire toon to check a line or scene. With this in mind, to what extent will we transcribe the game? I'm against the idea of recording EVERY single line for two reasons: firstly, it would be a massive job to do. Undoubtedly there'll be tens of thousands of lines of dialogue throughout the game and it'll be impossible to find and store them all. The second reason is for legal issues: it seems to be OK to transcribe toons on the website since the transcripts won't significantly affect page views to the website and the toons are free in the first place. This game, on the other hand, will not be: the point of buying and playing the game is to find the dialogue yourself. And I don't want Telltale's lawyers to hit this wiki with a cease-and-desist order if they feel our actions harm the sales of their game. However, I think it'd still be OK to write walkthroughs and post Fun Facts on the game, in a similar manner to other websites. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:42, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:A few minor stylistic things aside, I think the best way to "transcribe" this game (I don't think that's the right word) would be entirely similar to [[Thy Dungeonman II]] however, without creating the companion page [[Thy Dungeonman II Messages]]. This system would give us the fun facts and the walk-through and the glitches and the tips and everything else that you would expect from The Wiki, without any of the legal or commercial issues you spoke of. I mean [[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] seems to be very involved in The Wiki (at least concerning SBCG4AP), and with Telltale's consent I see no problem making a [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Messages]] page or something of that ilk (but with '''FAR''' fewer syllables). {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 08:56, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
::Exactly; we seem to have plenty of communication with Telltale through [[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]], so I'm sure that we can make sure whatever we do is acceptable to them (and TBC). It would be nice to have everything transcribed (transcriptions of game messages aren't a substitute for playing the game, in the same way that you don't forget about watching the cartoons and just read the transcripts - but even more so, as it's interactive), but obviously that depends on their wishes. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 09:51, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
:::I can't see how there'd be a legal issue *period* if we thoroughly "mapped out" this game. If there *was*, [http://www.gamefaqs.com/ GameFAQs] wouldn't exist. Furthermore, I've seen numerous "Game Scripts" there. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if someone beat us to it. [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/wii/data/945803.html Exhibit A] -{{User:YK/sig}} 05:03, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Second. There's stuff on GameFAQs that's [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/gamecube/file/920182/33006 much more in-depth] than is sane, even for us. Plus, we transcribe DVD-only content all the time, and TBC don't mind. And since TBC are working so close with Telltale, I doubt they'd let them sue us either. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::I don't think there would be an issue with that sort of thing, but if someone 'offcially' associated with the wiki wants to shoot me an email, I can put them in contact with someone to be sure that it would be cool. There are lawyers lurking 'round every corner, but we generally prefer enabling awesomeness over litigiousness in everything we do at Telltale. Also, for what its worth, each episode will have ... a lot ... of dialog. [[User:TTGJake|TTGJake]] 06:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Related note, what about the Dev Blog! "written" by Strong Bad on the Telltales Games site? Any plans of documenting that on the Wiki? There could be a whole mess of running gags hidden in that... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 20:23, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
:That is in fact written by Strong Bad. Well, it's written by [[TBC]], which is close enough, right? :) [[User:TTGJake|TTGJake]] 06:53, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
::I believe the Dev Blog is not being documented for the [[Talk:SBCG4AP Dev Blog|same]] [[Talk:Strong Sad's Lament#Transcript|reasons]] why [[Strong Sad's Lament]] isn't: that it's just duplicating large chunks of text from the website, that ''"it ''replaces'' the actual site"'' and that it would cross ''"the copyright-infringement line to a degree we should not be able to get away with."''. However, if the posts start being removed or if the website is eventually shut down, backed-up transcripts and images will be added to the article. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
:::The way that the [[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]] is being handled now (summarizing posts, pointing out specific references) is perfectly fine. At the time I wrote that bit, there wasn't a page started to note the contents. I think a similar approach should be used with the games, simply because of the volume of dialog involved, the non-linear nature of the game play, and potential legal issues. Particular pieces (such as openings, previews or set pieces) could be transcribed, proved proper clearances are granted first, but a wholesale transcription would be impractical. Noting references, goofs, etc.? Fair game. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

== New gameplay/interview video ==

There's a video [http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/18383 here] showing off some of the gameplay (including [[Snake Boxer V]] footage), as well as an interview with some of the developers (I assume this is new, I didn't see it mentioned on the page anywhere). I think IGN are going to interview TBC about the game tomorrow, but I'm not sure... --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 12:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
:On a related note, it looks like the [http://kotaku.com/378793/telltale-games-demos-strong-bads-cool-game-for-attractive-people-for-wiiware Kotaku] review of the game demo has some more detailed information that was is revealed in the Game Videos piece. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 18:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

== External link organization ==

Since it looks like this game will produce a large number of external links (IGN et al. game reviews, material from Telltale, forums), how should we organize them? Traditionally, we've put forum links on the bottom (which in this case would include both Telltale's and ours), and material directly from Telltale at the top. But should we make subsections for each? I'm trying to think of scalability at this point. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:40, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

:I think you're right, it will helpful to have them divided up into sub-sections. I liked {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Strong_Bad%27s_Cool_Game_for_Attractive_People&diff=557820&oldid=557810 what you did}}, but I tried {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Strong_Bad%27s_Cool_Game_for_Attractive_People&diff=557824&oldid=557820 reorganizing it a bit differently}}. Not sure if it's optimal yet; maybe we'll have to wait to see what kinds of external links we end up getting as it's released. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:53, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

== Screenshots ==

This may sound silly, but how do you accses the screenshots on the Tell Tale site?
:Not silly at all — scroll down to the end of the dev blog, and just below them on the left-hand side of the page are four TV screen-shaped pictures. Click on one of them to bring up the screenshots. Hope that helps! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:29, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

== question! ==

So will this be available on the Wii Shop Channel under the WiiWare section and can I buy it with Wii points? Becausue if not I can't buy it! --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 20:53, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
:Yes, you'll be able to get it off the Wii Shop Channel. Don't worry. It's for both PC and WiiWare. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:58, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
::Just curious to find out why you can't buy it. Do you not have a Wii? If that's the case, then disregard my next statement. If you do, Wii Points can be each purchase directly through the Wii or purchasing a Wii Points card at many fine retailers. Hopefully, Telltale will announce how many Wii points each episode will be. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 21:07, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

No I have a Wii. It's just that my parents have this weird thing about using credit cards on sites the don't consider "certified". I told them it's through Nintendo and that this website is TBC's JOB but they're just weirdos. So I could only get it by buying the card. Thanks for the info! --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 00:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

== POM-POMMED?? ==

Did I miss a screenshot/video of Pom Pom? Oh, sure, I count his appearance as likely, but has he actually appeared yet? If not, I think we should remove him from the page. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:16, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
:Pom Pom was among the crowd listening to Strong Bad at the end of [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]]. Would that count? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 18:15, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
::No...that doesn't mean he'll appear in the game (I'm sure he will, though). {{User:DevonM/sig}} 19:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Though I put it in an edit summary, I thought I'd better mention it here. Telltale Games currently sells certain HR products, among which are the figurines labeled "Series #1" at the [[Store]]. The description confirms that all nine characters shown are in the game .. and Pom Pom is shown. I quote: "Nine of the characters featured in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People" [http://www.telltalegames.com/store/hsrfigurines1]. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 00:21, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
:::I'm going to be pretty grumpy though if that rules out Homsar, who was in Season 2 Figurines. He is a main character after-all. [[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 13:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
::::That need not be the case; it didn't say "All nine". I'd be surprised if Homsar doesn't turn up somewhere. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 23:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
::::I've played the game. In the first episode, Homsar isn't physically present, but you can prank call him. <s>Some guy who's not named Hobojo</s> '''''Skinr'''''
:::::Do keep in mind that this discussion took place in May, three months ''before'' the game came out. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:22, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

== Release Date ==

Do we know the presise release date of the first installment of the game, or just that it'll be out in June? I know I'm not the only guy who wants it the second it comes out... {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

I think we just know it'll be out in June... I assume that they'll give an exact date once we get closer to June though. --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 17:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
:The [http://kotaku.com/389429/here-are-your-wiiware-launch-titles dates for WiiWare games are decided entirely by Nintendo], so I'm not sure if Telltale can even give an exact date for the Wii version. The PC version will either have a fixed date, or something like "X days after the Wii version". --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 14:36, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

well, we're almost sure it's going to be june and on a monday because H*R and the wii shop channel update on mondays, and they really only have a week left if it ''is'' going to be in june at all
[[User:Homsarstrongbad150|Homsarstrongbad150]] 01:54, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
:It's offical that it's coming out in July instead of June. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 02:02, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

If it's not going to be delayed again, the last possible day it can be released is July 28.

== Cost? ==

Any word on what the cost will be yet? --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 17:37, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
:The Telltale guys wrote it will be like other episodic games they make. Which means about 9$ (US). {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:46, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

== Episode One Info VS the IGN preview ==
Ok, thanks to the preview on the telltale official site, I think we can theorise that the IGN preview actually happens after the scenes in the trailer. 'Homestar Runner invades Strong Bad's house and Bogarts his style.' Of course, it could also be that the trailer scenes are actually a flashback.

Either way, we can't be sure that the game begins with the IGN preview anymore, so I was wondering what we should do about it[[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 14:02, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
:I was thinking the same thing. The preview for [[Homestar Ruiner]] seems to take place before Homestar hides in the basement for indecency. From the various reviews, though, it is clear that the preview was still an early build. (For example, the GameCyte review mentions that a plot clue is found under a cardboard box in the middle of the field, but the actual game, the clue location would be more challenging.) I would suspect that Strong Bad going directly from his song to talking to Homestar is a similar splice, and nobody knows what the final sequence will be until it's released in to the wild. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 14:13, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

what is the url for the ign preview? and why isn't it on the wiki? --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 19:55, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
:The IGN videos are listed under Press Releases and Promotional Videos. The first two (GameVideos.com and IGN.com) have the footage you are looking for. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 21:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

== Mii likey, mii likey! ==

So I noticed Telltale is having a [http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-338 contest] to design the H*R characters in Mii form and receive Homestar Ruiner as a gift on their Wii. (For those not in the know, downloads can be paid for by Wiis other than the one receiving it.) What I was wondering is, is this contest worthy of its own article or not? This whole development is so...other sitey...that I'm still having trouble wrapping my brain around what's Wikiable and what's not. Opinions? --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 13:53, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:I don't think so, because it's a contest, and we don't normally advertise those here (as far as I know).
::Given that there has never before been an officially [[licensed]] homestar related contest as far5 as i know, that would make it lack of precedent, not that we don't do it. We haven't done it because THEY haven't done it. That being said, is it homestar-related? it is official? yes. therefore, i think maybe we should. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

== The King of Town's Castle ==
The King of Town's Castle is listed as a confirmed place, but have we actually seen any videos or screenshots with the King of Town's catstle? {{User:Peter222/sig}}
:No, but the plot of Homestar Ruiner informs that one of the tasks to do will be getting files from the KOT's Castle. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 18:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

== Getting grumpy... ==

So do we know at least around what time of the month it's coming out? Like early June or mid-June or closer to July? Not to sound impatient but... aw screw it. I AM impatient! --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 17:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

:It's been delayed to [http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-344 July]. I'm looking forward to it too, but I'm glad they're taking the time to polish it! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:11, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

== T For Teen ==

Ok we were all surprised it got a t ranking but i bet they TellTale did so on purpose and made the esrb think it was worse than it really was for the moneymaking t rating. and mild suggestive content (if it is not a telltale tall tale) is probably something like saying home run or some other extremely mild euphism. Who agrees? Zelda games do it all the time. [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 01:00, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:Most of the cartoons on the site would get a T rating as well, if the ESRB system is used. I mean, just look at emails like [[lady fan]], [[sisters]], [[dreamail]], [[do over]]... plenty of suggestive themes there (without even mentioning Coach Z's problems), and the Teen Girl Squad comics probably fulfil the requirements for mild cartoon violence. The Poopsmith pretty much covers crude humour. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 09:34, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
::The ESRB ratings are: Early Childhood, Everyone, Everyone 10+, Teen, Mature, Adults Only and Rating Pending. As you can see, Teen is the most suitable rating since the game probably contains "contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling, and/or infrequent use of strong language." (The PEGI equivalant is 12+.) Undoubtably, there'll be [[Teen Girl Squad]], references to [[making out]], and maybe some [[whatsit]], [[blood]] and [[crap]]. So I'm assuming TGS is what bumped it up, unless the game contains [[Commandos in the Classroom|''very'' illegal pony fights]]. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 13:56, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
::: (I don't think crap would really bump it up to T considering I've heard damn it in a few E+10 games --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 19:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC))
::: Cartoon Violence and rude humor can be in e 10(i think tgs might fit into e actually) whatever the suggestive material is and it would have to be a little but more mature than making out is why it is teen so i think hmmm maybe telltale told theesrb that there was sug mat. even though its making out scince esrb doesnt play the games.
::::I doubt TTG would just tell the ESRB that there was more mature material than it would normally be. As for suggestive material, according to the ESRB website, minimal suggestive material (as long as there's nothing else that would give it a higher rating) can credit a E rating. Suggestive material also is descripted as "Mild provocative references or materials". I'm not sure what else would qualify for the "mild suggestive themes", but remember that the crude humor and mild cartoon violence might merit a "T" rating themselves. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 14:32, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, just look at Brawl. Cartoon Violence and Crude Humor, and it's T. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

== Europe? ==

Is this game going to be available in Europe for the Wii?--[[Special:Contributions/84.251.87.171|84.251.87.171]] 19:42, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:I can't imagine why not... it's WiiWare remember? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:44, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
::The game [http://www.pegi.info/en/index/global_id/23/?searchString=Homestar+Ruiner&agecategories=&genre=&organisations=348&platforms=&countries=&submit=Search has been PEGI rated], so I'd expect that it will come out. Hopefully, Telltale won't run into the same bottleneck that the Pop developers did while releasing in Europe (the game can be entirely in English, but the manual must be written in every language that can be selected on a PAL Wii's system menu). Also, we'll probably get it on the Friday instead of the Monday, but that's standard for WiiWare. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 04:39, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

:Okay, thanks! It's just that the Nintendo Website for my country (Finland) is extremely pissy and never seems to contain relevant info on what's to be expected on WiiWare or VC. I have to go to Wikipedia most of the time. There isn't any real info on this matter at the official website either. --[[Special:Contributions/84.251.87.171|84.251.87.171]] 12:42, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

== TBC Interviews for SBCG4AP ==

Traditionally, when The Brothers Chaps have done an interview, we've made a separate page for it, in part because they were so infrequent. But, so far there has been at least four interviews with them ahead of the launch of the game. The IGN interview already has a page, but I've put the [http://coldhardflash.com/2008/05/chapmans-cool-interview-for-animation-people.html Cold Hard Flash], [http://www.gamecyte.com/2008/05/08/a-chat-with-the-chaps-sbcg4ap-qa/1184 GameCyte] and [http://kotaku.com/5016138/lunchtime-with-the-brothers-chap-strong-bads-creators-speak-and-eat Kotaku] interviews as part of the game promotion list. Given the number of interviews, can they just stay in the list for the game, or should they have their own pages? (and if they stay on the page, should the IGN interview be demoted?) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 22:03, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

== Just checking... ==

This is going to be announced on the main page when it's realeased, correct? I just want to make sure. --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 19:57, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

== Telltale Teases ==

Is it worth mentioning anywhere the fact that in their last two blog entries, the folks at Telltale have been referencing the anticipation of a release date announcement (and the continuing lack thereof)? For example, [http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-355 yesterday's] starts with <blockquote>Sorry, it's still not the announcement you've been waiting for, but we've come up with a little surprise to help ease the pain while you're waiting...</blockquote> {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 15:50, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

:::::::::Well it's taking too freaking long, in my opinion. I do belieive it's time for some riots. I'll get the pitchforks. {{User:Acam30/sig}} 14:07, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

== One Monday ==

Should it be noted that this shall be the last Monday in July? (Wii Shop only updates on Mondays) {{User:Lazylaces/sig}} 01:48, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
:New release dat: AUGUST. And I am really angry. {{User:Acam30/sig}} 14:10, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

== Overload? ==

I just had a chilling thought. With the new game-of-fun coming out on the Wii, it would pull in alot of buyers. If I didn't know the Homestar, I'd probubly still buy such a game. And then most buyers would eventually visit the site. With this overflow of people going on the site, It may be too much for the site's compies and it may crash, stopping us from seeing all our daily doses of Homestar 'toons! Anyone have any thoughts on this? [[User: Ben Again|Ben Again]]
:My sister who introduced me to h*r has told me herself that she believes no one who doesn't know the cartoons would buy the game. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 02:06, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
::The impression I get from the Telltale forums is the majority people buying the title are either fans of H*R or Telltale. However, that's still a pretty large group. I don't think we have to worry about hrwiki bogging down, but I think the TBC will be very happy with the financial results. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 02:19, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

== Episode 2 Info ==

IGN.com has an article explaining the announcement at Comic-Con regarding SBCG4AP Episode 2. The title is "Strong Badia the Free" and involves protesting against a new E-mail tax. I can't link to the article now because I'm typing from the Wii Internet Channel. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 17:02, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

== It Won't Be Long? ==

How long does it usually take Nintendo to approve a WiiWare game? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 04:37, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
:I second that question. {{User:Acam30/sig}} 04:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
::According to a friend in the games industry, the approval process is two to three weeks. Mid-August is a reasonable estimate at this point (11 Aug). {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:47, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

== Navigation bar for SBCG4AP episodes? ==

I know we have the [[:Template:SBCG4AP|template]] for all things relating to the game, including listing all of the episodes. But would it be useful to have a navigation bar near the top where you can switch from episode, like with [[:Template:gamenav|games]] and [[:Template:toonnav|toons]]? 17:52, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
:Maybe when Episode 3 comes. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 18:15, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
::Obviously, with only two episodes outlined, there is not enough. But we do know there will be five in this season (with possible more in the future), so it's best to start planning now. I'm just curious if it's even worth considering. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 20:23, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
:::I'd say it is. Of course, this doesn't mean we should jump on this immediately. A navigation bar now will have the same episode on both sides, which isn't very useful. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 20:28, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

== Voice Acting ==

Just a note regarding the amount of voice acting and the claim that Matt and Missy do "most of" it. The most recent time this was added to the article, the editor cited a Gamespot interview. I think the confusion may arise because when asked "How much of the original voices to you have?", Telltale representative Brett Tosti replies that "95% of it is done by Matt Chapman". ''But'' he immediately goes on to say the other 5% is Marzipan (which he confirms is voiced by Missy). In fact, he's pretty emphatic that all of the voices are done by the original H*R talent. They work this fact into the interview twice — they are obviously proud of it. Anonymous, were you refering to a Gamespot interview other than the one with Brett Tosti?

== Behind the Bad ==

[http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-367 I LOL'd.] But how should we handle this one? Should it be treated as an interview, or what? -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] 00:21, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
:Since it's similar to [[A Day At The Park]], [[Behind The Bad]] is being handled like shorts. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 20:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

== Reviews/Previews ==

Shouldn't the preview and review links be put in the episode articles the correspond with, instead of the main SBCG4AP article? It seems to me that it would be a bit more efficient and less cluttered if we did it that way. [[User:Dungeonman262|I Can Has a Ye Flask]] 20:34, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
:That's a good idea. I was certainly surprised at the number of reviews Homestar Ruiner generated. I would say that general articles and previews should stay with the main article. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 20:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

[http://wii.ign.com/articles/907/907602p1.html Link.] Should we just list this one with the others, or should we transcribe it since it's an actual audio interview with Strong Bad?

== Steam? ==

Will the series ever be released on Steam? I am asking because both Sam and Max and Bone were released on Steam. <s>Some guy who's not named Hobojo</s> '''''Skinr'''''

== How long? ==

This is probably a stupid question, but I need to ask: How long will the episodes be available? I'm asking because I would really like to play them all, but I'll be stuck with Windows 98 until Christmas, so I won't be able to buy them until then.

== Costume wardrobe errors? ==

I want to know if anyone's costume parts dissappeared or moved, because my carabowdit hair, big moustache and that grey hat-thing from the mailbox are hidden on the floor under the backdrop in the photo booth. I'm almost finished episode 1, with the only thing I need being the first trophy on the collection screen (72%). (edit: I completed the game, just for the data to be corrupted the next day.) [[User:Joanassie|Joanassie]] 18:17, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

== Release Date Announced ==

Telltale announced the release of Strong Badia the Free for September 15th. It's on their website.

== Baddest of the bands ==

in the preview in the end of episode 2 it says the name of the next epsiode is "Baddest Of The Bands"
: Yeah, uh, we already have a [[Baddest of the Bands|page]] for it. We haven't finished updating everything connected to it yet though. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:26, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

== Drop a whale on 'em ==

As I noted on the [[Strong Badia the Free]] page, the Whale says "Get your lighter from the anvil, please," which can be connected with the fact that you get the lighter from The Cheat (compared with an anvil in [[huttah!]]). As I was playing a new game that didn't have the lighter yet when I saw that, I suddenly started wondering something. And then I look up what the whale says in [[Homestar Ruiner]] and:

*DRIVE-THRU WHALE: When the End Times come, we will all dance the Conga of the Apocalypse.
*DRIVE-THRU WHALE: Always double-down with a king in the hole.
*DRIVE-THRU WHALE: Lighten up, jumpy jumperson.
*DRIVE-THRU WHALE: You can't get ahead until you get a head.
*DRIVE-THRU WHALE: Sever you head, please. It's the greatest day.

Each of these, though a bit strained, can be compared with an event in Homestar Ruiner. Some of the others too, though they're bigger reaches. Could the whale be giving coded hints??? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:13, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
: A-''HA!!'' I opened up my SBtF second game that had defeated all the countries except Country. Tried talking to the whale several times, but he only said generic stuff that had nothing to do with the rest of the game - and suspiciously enough, did ''not'' say anything about getting a lighter from an anvil. I went on to Country, got the monster to appear, hacked off one head (IT REGROWS!!!), and went back to the whale. And what do I get? "Would you like flaming skulls with that?" He didn't ask that before. And to those who have played the game, I pose the question: WHAT do you need to do in Country in order to defeat the Ice Head of the Taranchula??? With this in mind, I can say with maybe 80% confidence that, yes, the Whale is giving hints. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:28, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

== Another Sam & Max Connection ==

:I was watching video reviews and playing demos of Sam & Max, and I realized that the "new item sound" for SBCG4AP is identical to the sound that's played when you get a new item in Episode 105: Reality 2.0 (that is, when you get something while wearing the virtual reality goggles). Mentionable? {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

== 3-D animation ==

You know, I noticed something. On the DVD, the 3-D animation looks silly and a bit premature, and in SBCG4AP, the graphics are smoother and much more dignified. I also noticed that most of the lines that are said during the game don't match the animation. And in the Wii menu when Strong Bad says "Onward to Strong Badia! Strong Badia... THE FREE!" It looks like they just re-used the animation from the first episode when he said "No time for the emails right now. I've got other plans for the Lappy todaaay..." Has anyone noticed those things? {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 02:26, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

::Ooh, maybe we could use icons! They're uniform and nice-looking, and tell us more about the plots than the logos do. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 16:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
:::OK, after a few days with the icons I've concluded that the screencaps did the best job of summarizing each episode. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 21:23, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
::::I still disagree. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:44, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't think that uniformity is a strong enough argument to justify replacing the screencaps. The [[Games]] article isn't very uniform, and the [[Toons]] article contains 0 title cards. Why? Because we provide pictures that say something about the plot. We should do the same here. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 13:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
:This is different. I say we have both icons and title cards, since we have a lot of room. [http://hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&oldid=604931 This] is what it would look like. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

::::The icons actually summarize the games far better than the screenshots.

I found the final Episode, no joke! Trogdor finally comes back from his brokenness and is out on the loose! In the final Episode of Strong Bad. [http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/11/trogdoooooooor.html Trogdor!] {{User:splashUru1/sig}} 2:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

== More pictures, better pictures ==

What's with all the crappy pictures? It's a bit odd that the game actually has a function for taking pictures built into it, yet nobody appears to be capable of getting a good screen capture. Most of the SBCG4AP pictures on the wiki are blurry or pixelated - is everyone playing on 640x480, low quality mode, windowed? I don't know how the Wii version works, but surely screenshots saved to SD card from there can't be that pixelated... -[[User:Poopsmith Z|Poopsmith Z]]

Oh, and also, we need way more pictures of locations, objects, costumes, etc. -[[User:Poopsmith Z|Poopsmith Z]]
:The only screenshots I've noticed serious problems with are the ones taken from the 4:3 version of the game (and that's mostly because I'm always annoyed with pan-and-scan). I do agree that we need more though. Not every response article has an image yet. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 22:43, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, Stinkoman ''definitely'' needs a pic. We could also do with better shots for [[Craig]] and [[Uzi Bazooka]]. {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 01:24, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

== Less Pictures ==

I move that we delete alot of the screenshots at the bottom. It dwarfs the article, and gives no real purpose. Maybe 2 from each episode?

== Sah-veh, (no) lo-add! ==

If I'm done playing the game and want to quit, I always save when I finish, but I can't load the saved game next time I play! Does anybody know why I'm having this problem or how exactly to load? {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 23:19, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
:Maybe you should try the TellTale forums?{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:23, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

== Questoon ==

I want to get this game, but may not have enough money to pay for it all. Should I play the episodes chronologically? If not, which one is the best?
:The best is 8-Bit is Enough, but if you can only buy one game, I would recommend Dangeresque 3. Among the most self-contained SBCG4AP games, (the other is Strong Badia the Free) Dangeresque 3 is the best. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 20:19, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

== "Seasons"? ==

I've been reading through some of the SBCG4AP pages, and some paragraphs are defining "the first season" as the first 5 episodes. Does that mean there might be more SBCG4AP episodes? A "second season", if you will? -{{User:Stinkoman K/Sig}} 03:22, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
:That was the plan. Whether it's actually going to happen is still unknown, though. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 04:09, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

== SBCG4AP references stuff ==

Similar to writing "Email" before the name of a Strong Bad Email in articles, should we write something like "SBCG4AP" before the name of an episode of Strong Bad's Game? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 21:50, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
:I think so. It just makes sense, and would let peoples know that it's part of [[sbcg4ap]] without even having to read the article. -[[User:Tizye96|Tizye96]]
::I disagree. I don't quite know why we do it for emails (other than tradition), but if I had to guess, it'd be because of A) the large number of emails compared to everything else, and/or 2) the names being lowercase. Neither of these apply to SBCG4AP. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:02, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

== Screencaps and Logos? ==

"oh, homestar in his army uniform. must be a war" I don't know why I didn't realize it sooner, but all that proved was that the icons are misleading. Which I still believe. Which is why I made a subpage of various compromises between screencaps, logos, and icons. If you want, comment which works the best. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 17:19, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
:Personally, I think that solution A is probably the most elegant. However, I would point out that the main purpose of the SBCG4AP article is summarize the entire series. Any sort of extended plot summary of each the individual games, as well as screenshots, should be left to the game page. To that end, it may be worth thinking about moving some of the gallery images off (as was done previously with the reviews) to the game pages. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:04, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
::I don't see what's "misleading" about any of it. It's fine as it was. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:49, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
:::As I explain on my subpage, more time in "Strong Badia the Free" is spent protesting than battling. When the characters finally go off into battle, during the last five minutes of the game I might add, the game just cuts to a loading screen, then shows what happens a week after the battle ended. On a minor note, The Cheat never sports a mohawk in "Baddest of the Bands". {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 17:53, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
::::And this is a problem why? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:54, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::Well, that "Baddest of the Bands" thing isn't really a problem; I just threw it in there. The "Strong Badia the Free" thing was supposed to show how your argument could be made null by the fact there isn't an onscreen war. Further problems are caused by a fact I pointed out earlier: the "Homestar Ruiner" icon tells us nothing other than the fact Strong Bad is in it. Also keep in mind that you can always weed the Telltale website for seemingly better screencaps. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 18:01, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
::::::It's nice that you think so. Those are the official images that telltale and TBC chose and i think it's a bit arrogant and presumptuous to call their logos "misleading" and insist that we provide something "better". There's also no reason that we need to have a screencap that gives a good idea of what the game is about on this page. We're just giving the descriptions and links to the articles on the games. In short, it's fine how it is. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:03, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
On an unimportant side note, while the main screencaps at the Telltale forum announcements for the last two are the same ones I picked for each episode's main Wiki article, the one for "Strong Badia the Free" tells us even less about the game than the pictures we use. [http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6423 Take a look.] But only if you want to. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 18:18, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
:I made another table on my subpage just now, but it's pretty tall. <s>Is that a problem?</s> I realize now that it is. Also, I'm not sure what to make of this quote: "Those are the official images that telltale and TBC chose and i think it's a bit arrogant and presumptuous to call their logos 'misleading' and insist that we provide something 'better'." I believe I was '''not being presumptuous at all''' because I never called the logos misleading and whenever possible, picked episode screencaps from among those that TBC and Telltale selected. Where did you think I got them from? I can't even pick different screencaps since I play the Wii versions of the episodes. I also wish to respond to this quote: "There's also no reason that we need to have a screencap that gives a good idea of what the game is about on this page. We're just giving the descriptions and links to the articles on the games." You can make a similar argument for the [[Toons]] article, yet we do it anyway. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 21:40, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
::Something I just noticed is that the official game website has the icons, and pages for each individual episode have screencaps, but the logos are nowhere to be found unless you count videos. So if anyone should be called pretentious and wanting something better than TBC's intents, it would be you. But I fortunately know better than to insult you like that. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 03:44, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
:::I'm not so sure you do, actually, given that you pretty much '''did''' just say Deffy was pretentious. Sure, you stuck in a modal to make it a hypothetical situation, but that really makes no difference on the effect of what you're saying (i.e., "if anyone should be called pretentious and wanting something better than TBC's intents, it would be you" has basically the same effect as saying "you are pretentious and wanting something better than TBC's intents"). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:55, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
::::Oh, I didn't know there was no difference. I thought what I did was kind of like, "You deserve this, but I'm not giving it to you", and that it was completely uncalled for for him to call me arrogant in the first place. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 12:03, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::Well, I didn't say there was no difference at all, just that it was basically the same. But the thing is, with actions, you can say "you deserve X, but I'm not going to give it to you", where X = a punch in the face, a kick in the rear, you name it. With words, once you've said them, they're there, regardless of whether you meant to give them or not. Now, as for your assertion that Defender's action were out of line: to be completely fair, he didn't really call ''you'' arrogant; rather, he said what you were doing was "a bit arrogant". Still, I do agree that it was pretty undiplomatic and didn't help the situation. Can we all possibly make up and agree to be cordial from now on? That would be great. Resume content dispute. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 12:34, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

== Bonus DVD ==

The bonus DVD version of SBCG4AP is in the works (they are promising to have it out by Comi-Con in July), so a question now becomes, how do we handle the release. Is it like another DVD? Should it be another section of this article? Telltale has [[Telltale:forums/showthread.php?t=8279|given some hints]] of the contents, such as [[Behind The Bad]] and mp3 of songs from the games, but I don't think we've had to deal with a physical release of any of the games before. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 04:22, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

== Better screenshots ==

Are there any screenshots at the official websites for episodes 2 and 3 that do a better job summarizing and promoting the episodes than the ones I selected? Right now, I'm leaning very strongly towards changing the episode 3 picture to the second one featured [http://www.telltalegames.com/strongbad/baddestofthebands/screenshots here]. Regarding Episode 2, I can't say whether the ones of Strong Bad and the flag are better than the protest one because while Strong Bad is in them, he's not really doing anything. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 15:39, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
:So, [[:Image:Strong Badia the Free.png|here's]] the screenshot I was thinking of using for episode 2. Like the one I picked for episode 1, it supplements the summary well, but unfortunately wouldn't hold up if you find it by itself. If it becomes the main screenshot, then I think the gameplay trailer article would have the picture where the flag is in the distance. Is this idea so good or no good? [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&oldid=644242 Here] are some examples of how pages would look with the flag picture in place of the protest picture. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 15:11, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Is it necessary for us to protect the walkthrough pages from anonymous editors so people may not write pointless additions such as "Strong Bad's collar exploded for some reason"? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 15:52, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

:No. They are no different from any other page on the wiki. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 16:17, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

== SBCG4AP function discovered (?) ==

I've noticed that in SBCG4AP episodes, right-clicking ends the character's line that is speaking and goes on to the next one. For example, in the tutorial, Strong Bad's lines:
**"The magnifying glass* goes in my inventory."
**"Click here to get to the inventory."
If I right clicked at the *, Strong Bad would not say, "goes in my inventory" but instead go on to the "click here..." line.

Anyone else notice this? Where would I put it?

==Recent==
The reason I said that sbcg4ap was recently released is because, um, it was recently released! Sorry for the confusion. 2008 wasn't that long ago. The game has been gradually increasing in popularity since it's release. The game explains all modern h*r relationships, and nothing has changed since it's debut. I'd suggest saying that the game was recently released because of the short period of time since it was released, compared to the entire lifespan of homestarrunner.com. It was at PAX 2010, by the way.
: In the world of video games, two to three years is a fair amount of time. What's more, the longer the Wiki exists, the less true that "recent" is anyway. Better not to put such descriptors, even if it was released last week. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:06, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

[[Image:Crapfully yours.PNG|right|thumb|300px|"Totally not gettin' old..."]]
Many of the [[Strong Bad Emails|emails]] [[Strong Bad]] receives are signed with the word "crap" used in various ways, such as '''"Crapfully yours"''', "With lots of crap", etc. These signatures were most common during the [[Tandy 400]] era, and were presumably a response to Strong Bad's frequent use of the phrase "[[Crap|Holy crap!]]". In the email [[3 Wishes]], he encourages his viewers to stop signing their emails this way, saying, "It's not required that you sign your email, 'Crapfully yours,' or, 'With a bunch of crap,' or, 'Crap in the times,' or, 'Crap is so great,' 'Everything is crap,' 'My middle name is Crapp[[erson]]'." Nonetheless, he continued to regularly receive this type of signature for at least three more years. He has now taken to openly expressing his displeasure with these closings.

== List ==
*'''Debut:''' Email [[butt IQ]] — "Crapfully yours,"
*Email [[halloweener]] — "With crap,"

Who knows who Gent really is? Is he Matt or Mike? Is he someone famous? Who is this blurred man? Deos anyone know? I'm really curious.

== Domain Business? ==

Where does it say Thorax Corp is a domain name business? It looks like it's only for stardome issues. (Of course, the site is full of links. It's not easy finding them all.)

:::I would not at all state them as domain owners, and calling them "stereotypical domain owners." The Brothers Chaps probably put down no actual hint (besides "offering total stardom") of what they do just to make it funny. I say that they're not "stereotypical" because there not aggressive for the most part, and that they are purposely portrayed as stupid, because, well, it makes it funny. To be honest, I do not find any relevance in the current description we have in the article. --[[Special:Contributions/71.157.173.166|71.157.173.166]] 22:00, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

== Am I doing this right? ==

Okay, before I go too far and before all the hard work I've been doing goes to waste, I'm restructuring to get all external links in with some alt attribute values thrown in. Is this good so far? Is this necessary? All of these are there real values, since you're probably wondering.

'''Removed. See below for revision. You can see the old one [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Thorax_Corporation&oldid=602909 here].'''

--[[Special:Contributions/68.94.95.107|68.94.95.107]] 22:55, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
:Oh yeah, and I remembered there was some article that had a bunch of external links organized in columns with page titles...anyone remember what that one was I thought it was? I thought it was The King of Town DVD or Yearbook, but that isn't it. --[[Special:Contributions/68.94.95.107|68.94.95.107]] 00:07, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Today, for the past hour or less, I've finished it for the heck of it. Can we put it in the article, or do I need to improve it?

'''Removed. It's now on the page with some improvements. You can see this one [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Thorax_Corporation&oldid=604435 here].'''

Can we use it? --[[Special:Contributions/75.41.212.228|75.41.212.228]] 21:25, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
:You know, I looked at the [[Goats]] article thinking about replacing it with the "The Mythological Goat of Success" image with it's alternative text, and it could have been helpful to have it already in the database (well, I don't mean by in this talk page). Also, looking at an [[Talk:Thorax Corporation#Domain Business?|earlier note of]], "(Of course, the site is full of links. It's not easy finding them all.)", I think this will be a good contribution. If no one has any comments, I'll be adding this to the page in an hour, and adding a "<nowiki>{{uncensored}}</nowiki>" at the top of the page, due to the language of some of the alternative texts and page titles. Or maybe I'll just make a non-templated warning and add that to the top of the page. Yeah, that sounds better. --[[Special:Contributions/75.41.212.228|75.41.212.228]] 19:00, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

== Thorax Template? ==

Just so that we have all of it documented on the Wiki, should we make a page for each page, pop-up, etc.? I would like to transcribe the content of all the site, however, getting it all on one page would make it a little cluttered. I understand the lack of attention brought to Thorax due to its swearing, but I think we should allow an individual page for each page. --[[Special:Contributions/75.41.212.228|75.41.212.228]] 20:38, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
:Really, anybody? Since it's crawling with links, it would be helpful to document the pages. Not to mention it would make listing the references a lot more easier when doing it with separate pages and not as a whole. And it would be easier on Running Gag pages to link a Thorax Page to it's own article instead of either linking the page in a running gag's article, or leave the user to just search for it in that giant External Links section I had to make. --[[Special:Contributions/71.157.173.166|71.157.173.166]] 18:19, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

== Content Warning Removal ==

I beg to differ on the removal of the content warning you did, It's Dot Com. I covered alternate texts and page names, which include "WHO THE HELL DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS?", and "sex appeal". "HORAX" could also be taken the wrong way. --[[Special:Contributions/70.253.165.204|70.253.165.204]] 02:46, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
::That, and this should be considered an uncensored article, in which I made that template of use. It will put Thorax in the uncensored articles category.
:::I've also documented the PRODUKTs now. No, not to get <nowiki>{{coverscontent}}</nowiki> back up there, its just a coincidence that I found it helpful to have it in the database while this was going on.

== Leg and Strong Sad ==

Leg and Strong Sad seem to have much in common. They both have two brothers who seem to dislike them greatly and they are both kinda abused. I think this is note worthy. Any opinions? Also, at one point it says that Leg was locked in the toilet. This seems close enough to Strong Sad being locked in the bathtub to be mentioned. -[[User:Philip8o|Philip8o]]

I typed in www.delabor.com and found this weird flash (animation?) of a white ball bouncing left and right with a red backround. Somethin' didn't seem right, so I left before it became a screamer. Does anyone else know WHAT this is? (by Corruption while not logged in)
:I've come across this link before when I came across some mention of "www.delabor.com". They are probably not related. I mean, the foot note under the Flash is Spanish! A reference to El Delabor? Probably not. --[[Special:Contributions/69.150.85.66|69.150.85.66]] 02:00, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

== The New You ==

Has anyone else noticed that a some parts of The New You's songs later became a part of the Homestar universe? For example, the chorus of Chinese Ups sounds a lot like the guitar solo of Because, It's Midnite. Also, the way TNY says "She's all right!" in Sonic Youth T & A Theme Song sounds like Larry Palaroncini.

'''Thorax Corporation, [[LLC,,.]]''' is a fictional company created by [[The Brothers Chaps]], primarily [[Matt Chapman]]. Thorax originated as a joke Web site created by The Brothers Chaps, and the URL to this site is found in one of the [[Fortune Cookies]]. They are a fictional crudely run company offering "Total Stardom", though this is not always the subject on some of the pages. The site is filled with typos and misspellings.

Thorax Corporation is helmed by Gent Delabor and its staff seemingly consists entirely of members of the Delabor family. The corporation is a division of Second Income Stream dot com in conjugation with GLOBAL STARDOM ENTERTAINMENT.

Thorax Corporation is located in [[Mundelow]], PA.

Through its division, Thorax Legitimate, Thorax Corporation does frequent business with [[Lem Sportsinterviews]]. The movies he has written for them include [[Litigation Jackson]] and [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer|The Peasant's Quest Movie]].

== The Delabor Family ==
The Delabors are a family of pushy, money-grubbing corporate bigwigs with a tenuous grasp on the English language. Gent, Rode, and Leg are probably brothers; their relation to the others is unclear. Delabors mentioned on the Thorax website include:

[[Image:Gent delabor.jpg|thumb|75px|Gent Delabor, Sr.]]
*'''Gent Delabor, Sr.''', the CEO and Chief Executive Officer of Thorax Corporation, LLC,,., the CFO of Global Stardom Entertainment, and Webmaster of Second Income Stream dot com. His age is hinted between 18 and 65. He appears to run Delabor family affairs, which he manages from his parents' basement. Gent is even more pushy and money-grubbing than his relatives. Gent believes himself to be a genius, though in reality he is stupid, arrogant, and even abusive to his brother, Leg. He also believes himself to be more popular than he really is, claiming to receive about 300,000 emails a day. Gent really receives only about 3 a day (most of the time from himself sent to remind himself to pick up more grecian formula) and claims that this lack of emails is because his [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Outlook|Outlook]] is screwed up. Gent displays his low intelligence in many ways, once even going so far as to buy a $643 plane ticket to the town of Awe, Mississippi, just to try and meet someone named PuckHead0 who sent him an email which stated that he (PuckHead0) was in awe.

[[Image:Rode delabor.png|thumb|75px|Rode DeLabor]]
*'''Rode Delabor/DeLabor''', Thorax's marketing consortium. Rode is apparently Gent's chief lackey and business partner. Rode spells his last name as "DeLabor", which he claims is not because of an inability to type/read/speak the English Language(TM), but because he just thinks it makes his name look "Peruvian". Rode claims that he grew up in the farm fields of Frederick, Maryland, U.S.A., dreaming of INDUSTRY and then eventually left (because of INDUSTRY) to go to the big city, leaving behind his alcoholic father and his misanthropic mother. These claims, however, are all lies, and it's clear that Rode doesn't like his parents very much.

[[Image:Leg delabor.JPG|thumb|75px|Leg Delabor]]
*'''Leg Delabor''', lovelorn, legible bachelor and social gadabout who sells a series of self-help tapes. Like Rode, he is one of Gent's partners. Leg is frequently the target of Gent and Rode's scorn, derision, and ridicule. It is unknown if he is actually biologically related to the other Delabors, as Gent claims that they "got him from the gypsies in 19$7". Gent has made Leg sign no less than 35 contracts, the 28th of which legally, mentally, and physically bound Leg to THORAX CORPORATION LLC,,. in legal matrimony with the strongest of legal solvents and tapes, preventing Leg from having relationships with, among other people and things, females. Violations of this contract are punishable by up to 12 times in prison or 2 hours in the hall closet (whichever comes first). Gent even claims to have beaten the ever-loving crap out of Leg for about 2 and a half minutes when he found Leg emailing a female named Adrian.

[[Image:Sted delabor.JPG|thumb|75px|WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!]]
*'''Sted Delabor''', who works for Gent in an office cubicle, or "ofice-cubikle", as he says. He is the the "new guy" at work. He is the other Delabors' "3rd cousin-in-law twice divorced". Although he seems to believe that most of the time people tend to pick on the new guy, but that the fellows at the Thorax "ofice" have been nothing but helpful, and even mentions that Gent Delabor himself pointed him in the direction of the men's room after he had been holding it in for the first three days of his job. He is perpetually on his fifth day of work at Thorax, as he mentions that it had been yesterday when the "men's room" event happened. Sted looks up to the other Delabors, especially Gent, but the others think of him as "WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!" (which they claim is their way of saying "Welcome, friend. Don't steal any of our stuff.").
*'''El Delabor''', the "mystical, phantom Delabor", who occasionally writes produkt offers for Gent. Gent used to just think that he was Rode in a sheet.
*'''Mark Delabor''', Thorax's webmaster and a spokesman for Second Income Streak dot com.
*'''Regular Size Delabor''' ("Reg"), probably one of Gent's four children, born on January 1, 1994 at St. Monty's Animal Clinic. He is property of Thorax Corporation, LLC,,. He weighs 9 lbs 9 oz 9 oz and has a height of 4 or 5 (no unit of measurement is given). His temperament is fuggy.
*'''Patricia Delabor-Jones''', a shift manager and one of Leg's customers.
*'''Granpa Delabor''', The other Delabors' grandpa. He warns "when El Delabor comes for you, it's time to pay the piper."

===Total Stardom Scheme===
<pre>
THORAX CORPORATION LLC,,. is SORRY!

SORRY YOU HAVEN'T PAID US YET!!

That's right! We're sick and tired of waiting for your money!
So we're going to make it so YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE!

How you might ask? By offering you the STARDOM OF THE LIFETIME!!

Our Stardomineers(TM) have been schemeing for hours and they've
finally come up with the solution we both need, a true Stardom
Scheme that'll fix you good! Listen to this crap!

Elvybody wants that new deck, that old porch 911, or that hideous
veranda across the street. Who wouldn't? Well now you're thyme has
come! There's no reason for you to pass this up. We could say we'll
cut up your family, but then we'd go to PRISON! Why resist? Open your
arms slowly, so as not to startle us, and let our Stardom come boring
into you.

Here's how it works:

-Tell a fiend about THORAX CORPORATION LLC,,.
-Lie to them until they give you a check made out to Gent Delabor, Sr.
-Send us that check (US Dollars only! Canadian currency will be spit
on and returned!)
-We'll cross out the amount your friend wrote and write down how
much we really want.
-Now it's your turn!
-Try and grow a third arm.
-Take one of your own blank checks and make it out to yourself.
-Now cross out the amount you wrote and write down how much you
really want.
-Take that check TO THE BANK!!
-Repeat until optimum Stardom is achieved.

It's really that easy! Do it from home, in your spare time, or whenever
we call you! If you tell one friend, that's only one check. But if you
tell 12 friends, that's at least 5 CHECKS!! Imagine, spend money you never
even earned and live like a true Burger King!

They say 'proof is in the pudding,' but we hate pudding! Here are
some quotes:

Gary Pantselection won't stop going:

"The Stardom is dripping through my hands!
Somebody get me a bowl!!"

E.L. Fudge commands:

"I called 911 and they never even SHOWED UP!
Thanks THORAX CORPORATION LLC,,.!!"

Low-Grade Fuel Substitute cries out:

"The trap is set. When Stardom comes traipsing
up the back steps, I'm entitled by law to beat it
to death with a length of lead pipe!"

Don't worry about signing up! There's nowhere to sign. In fact, we're
coming over right now! Just breath deeply and give in to the soft,
mustard-stained bosom of Total Stardom.

Help us put the 'Delab' back in 'Delabor'!

Program: "The Sky's the Limit!"

Folks, Gent here. Ordinarily, I write all the PRODUKTS(TM) but this week we have a
guest writer. For years we here at THORAX CORPORATION LLC,,. have heard rumors of
mystical, phantom Delabor. I used to just think it was Rode in a sheet, but here is
CONCRETE (wink!) proof that there is such a Delabor. And he's right on the money. In
fact, I'm making a check out to him right now. Lady and Gentleman, I give you...

EL DELABOR

You have completed program Congraturation, have achieved full Stardom, and
you have more than too second income streams. So where do you go from here?
Well as El Delabor says, "The Sky's the limit"!

How Does The Richest Man In The World Use The Greatest Business
Secrets Of All Time To Make Over 32.4 Million Dollars A Day?!! (all real
answers will be greatly appreciated)

Well, ..... The Truth Is Finally Revealed....

"The Sky's the Limit"~

No matter who you are(unless you are Gent), where you live(sorry
Tennessee) or what your sex(as long as it is male), age(must <=18 and >=65)
or race(as long as it is not "Other") is by the time you finish reading this
special article, you will know:

* How to start a proven money making business that requires no
inventory, no shipping and no employees within 7 days,
guaranteed!(definition of guaranteed = not true)
-- i.e. employees without 7 days will be exempt from prosecution

* How to get a $300 professionally designed Web Site for FREE! Yes, that's
right a $300 pro size for free. Just type HTML, then hit CTRL-ALT-DEL, it's
just that simple!

* How to Quadruple your sales in 30 days regardless of your business! Your
business regards will now stream at a rate of 3 per 1. Quadruple the
market!@

* How to stay at home and get paid outrageously for it( make sure your
Mom's purse or jewelry box is handy)!

* How to turn 50 cents into $50, with a simple click of a button(....I
mean trigger)!

* How to get a $179 business-building CD-ROM for FREE! Just steal it from
your next door neighbor. He won't mind at all. In fact, divert all his
income streams into yours, but don't cross them!

* If you ever wanted a business where you could hit the ground
running(or rock bottom), but then only have the sky as your limit.... a
business where you could just open a box and
start making immediate profits(the cash box from the local bank or a
real business always works very well).... a business that's completely set
up and ready to pull in maximum sales(or Maxim magazines).... with a produkt
that sells itself (these women literally will sell themselves)... then I've
got some greats news for you!

**Here is a description of the GIF:
::''{A Mariachi trumpet player is on screen and moves to the left of the image in a white background. Shortly after a cigarette, a martini, and a star appear from right to left, to the left of the Mariachi, along with the text "THE HI-LIFE" in brown letters, and then the cigarette, martini, and star move up and down for a short period of time. Shortly after that, the cigarette, martini, and star are replaced with the phrase "you can too!" in blue italics. There is then a cut to the a close-up shot of the Mariachi moving up from the bottom of the image. Once he stops the phrase "tuck in that stardom!", in yellow words and also in italics, appears over the Mariachi. After a pause "www.thoraxcorp.com" replaces the text using the same format.}''

**'''Transcript:'''
<blockquote>'''LEG DELABOR:''' ''{He moves the mic occasionally, and the mic picks it up. He talks in a monotone voice throughout}'' When you look...at yourself. You have to ''{voice gets quieter}'' look inside yourself. On the inside of you...to your personal ''{pauses}'' being. And if you have what it takes to be a star, that'll...that'll be there. On the wall...of your insides.</blockquote>
