== Biography ==
The King of Town is the de jure ruler of [[Free Country, USA]]. However, nobody wishes to acknowledge this; it's therefore possible that this character is a satire on the obsolescence of monarchy. He is not considered funny or cool by anyone. One of his main problems is that he is a glutton and will eat anything in front of him (except [[Peas|peas]] and [[Whatsit]]). His favorite food is butter. He employs [[The Poopsmith]] and a [[:Category:King's Servants|few other characters]]. His age is known to be somewhere in his 60's.

''{'''Page Title''': Go Go Cookie Dough!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[King of Town's Castle]]}''

''{The King of Town is standing outside next to his castle. One of his sheep stands behind him.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': Hello, my loyal subjects. I am The King of Town. Please remain standing while I finish my speech and consume the contents of this bowl. ''{holds up a bowl momentarily}'' Now, despite rumors to the contrary, I did not just buy a crown at the costume palace and ask people to start calling me The King of Town. I earned my title the same way I earned a free combo meal by purchasing one of equal or lesser value. I also did not ever try to eat my own mustache. I live in yon castle ''{gives a nod to his castle}'', and employ a Poopsmith for reasons I don't care to disclose. And furthermore, now I'm going to eat this bowl of corn dog batter. ''{picks up a bowl of corn dog batter and begins to eat it}''.

== Fun Facts ==
* An [[Old Characters Page]] claimed he was [[Marzipan]]'s father, but [[The Brothers Chaps]] have said they dropped this idea early on. "That was just something that we just toyed around with there briefly, but then decided that’s not the way we wanted it to go. We just put that up, but most people don’t visit the [[Museum]], so hopefully it doesn’t cause too much mass confusion." — [[Matt Chapman]]
* At the end of the clip, the sheep continues chewing, even though [[The VCR|the VCR]] is paused. This is because the sheep was created as a movie clip, which animates independently of the main timeline.
*The King claims he got his title (and a value meal) by purchasing one of equal or ''lesser'' value. This is contrary to most value purchases which give you something free when you purchase a similar item of equal or ''greater'' value.
*According to [[A Decemberween Pageant]], a [[The King of Town (Decemberween)|King of Town]] was involved in the discovery of the first [[Decemberween]]. It is not clear, however, whether that King of Town and the current one are the same individual.
* The King slightly resembles the [[Wikipedia:Mister Rogers' Neighborhood|Mister Rogers' Neighborhood]] character on PBS-TV named "King Friday XIII," who rules the [[Wikipedia:Neighborhood of Make-Believe|Neighborhood of Make-Believe]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Email is the sound that we make when a young girl cries... Da-da-da-da-

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: space program</div>
Dear Strongbad,<br />
Does Strongbadia have a space program?<br />

''{Strong Bad says "Good jokes" instead of "Doo doo crap," and he says "NC" as "Not cool."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Who ''doesn't'' have a space program these days? I mean, don't, like, the Italians have a space program? Ours is called SBASAF ''{pronounced "space-aff"}''. The Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil. ''{clears screen}'' The only problem is, ...

''{fade to white, Strong Bad continues talking over}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...we blew our whole budget on this kick-awesome logo...

''{as he says this, the SBASAF logo appears - a rocket's path tracing the second S, and ending up in position as the first A}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and on our orientation filmstrip.

''{Cut to a slide of the SBASAF logo, with "2005 Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil" at the bottom. The slide is initially out of focus, but becomes focused partway through the voiceover.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' SBASAF is a definitely-for-profit organization, dedicated to the manned taping of aluminum foil to cardboard. ''{beep sound}''

''{Another slide comes up - a stylized drawing of alien mountains in [[Outer Space|outer space]], with a [[The Moon|moon]] and a comet in the sky. A ten and five dollar note are visible, and a large arrow pointing beyond the mountains. The ten dollar bill has the text "TEN O' DEMS" along the top, the earth in the president's place and a circled "SB" for the seal. The five dollar bill is mostly obscured, but a sun and planet are visible on it.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Our mission objective: to accompany 15 earth dollars on a round trip journey ''{beep}'' ...

''{another slide, a drawing of a spaceship flying past a planet}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ... to the closest reaches of space. ''{beep}''

''{another slide, two astronauts, one lying on a bench with weights, the other saying "Gimme '''ONE''' more!!"}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' While the muscular crew will age only a few hours, the cargo, according to our ''{beep}'' ...

''{another slide, a portrait of Albert Einstein, saying "Hiya!"}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ... vague understanding of the theory of relativity, will have aged to an incredible ''{beep}}'' ...

''{another slide, of three large gold bars in space, with the caption "THREE O' DEMS"}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ... one million dollars. And who is good enough at video games ''{no beep}''...

''{another slide, a photo of a TV screen with a joystick in front of it. On the screen is a typical 2-D one-on-one fighting game with "FIGHT!!!" written on it. The combatants are a hamburger and a ghost. The ghost has only 1/3 health.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ... to accept such a dangerous mission? Why, none other than beef boullion-aire joyboy ''{beep}'' ...

''{another slide, of Strong Bad wearing a headband with small wings on it, with pants made out of foil}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ... Space Captainface. First Lieuteneral Captainface knows the true key to success is ''{no beep}'' ...

''{another slide, of a girl smiling at the camera, with a polka-dot background}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ... to have as many hot 60's-looking girls in your filmstrips as possible. ''{no beep}''

''{another slide, two more girls, and a blue background}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Yeah, girls. Alright. ''{beep}''

''{another slide, The Cheat wearing a blue cap and sunglasses, with the caption Harold "Strap" Coopmore}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Hey, look! It's onboard mechanic Harold "Strap" Coopmore! Looks like he could use a grilled cheese sandwich. ''{no beep}''

''{another slide, a photo of a grilled cheese sandwich, with the caption Item 3b: "Grilled Cheese" some music plays for a little bit, then a record-scratching noise and another slide, two men with flat-top haircuts and headsets in front of a computer terminal}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Flat-tops and shirt sleeves are the order of the day at SBASAF mission control. Why, Flight Engineer Ted Averill! You aren't smoking a smooth relaxing cigarette at all! ''{beep}''

''{another slide, the same scene, but the man on the left is smoking}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' That's better. And somebody get that man a high-ball. ''{beep}''

''{another slide, rows of spaceships}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' The flagship of SBASAF's 30-vessel fleet is the Proud Anselmo. ''{no beep}''

''{another slide, Strong Bad in the same outfit, atop a spaceship labelled "PROUD ANSELMO". There is a halo light shining on Strong Bad.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' A wonder of modern SBASAF-ery, the Proud Anselmo is constructed almost entirely out of cardboardium alloy. When blastoff day finally arrives, ''{no beep}'' ...

''{another slide, the 60's girls in silhouette, with a large question mark}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ... will you be among the hot 60's-looking girls to wish strappin' Space Captainface a safe voyage? And if not ''{beep}'' ...

''{another slide, a sad dog, with the caption "How Come?"}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ...how come?

''{Cut to Strong Badia. A close-up of Strong Bad wearing his Space Captainface costume in what appears to be a cardboard box holding an Atari joystick. He and the box are trembling violently.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Argrgrgrgrgrgr! Got to...escape...Earth's...tenacity... Fire the afterburners, Strap!

''{Look behind Strong Bad to see The Cheat is also in a cardboard box, with a CD player. A toilet paper tube is duct taped to the side of the box. We can now see Strong Mad's hand shaking the boxes.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{strained The Cheat noises}''

''{The Cheat presses play on the CD Player, which plays a sci-fi flyby sound effect. Cut back to Strong Bad. The box lifts into the air temporarily and lands on the ground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh... we made it. ''{the boxes continue shaking}'' Ahem. ''Oh, we made it.'' ''{the boxes stop shaking}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' Awww...

'''STRONG BAD:''' According to my cal-cuh-lations, our precious cargo should have already multiplied to about 50 bucks!

''{Strong Mad walks away behind the fence}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Holding up a CD labelled "SOUND F/X (not sounds from that movie F/X)"} {The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, right. We spent the precious cargo on that sound effect CD. Well, let me hear "Body falling down stairs".

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{agreeable-sounding The Cheat noises}'' ''{presses button on CD player}''

''{The sound effect of what sounds like a body falling down a staircase plays. Strong Bad moves his head with each thump on a stair. Homestar Runner rushes up with a sweater stuck over his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You guys! You guys! I need help putting on this sweater!

'''STRONG BAD:''' A space myoot-ant from Satriani 5! Hit him with everything we got, Strap!

''{The Cheat pushes various buttons, and random laser sounds and explosions are played. Then The Cheat throws the CD case at Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! I knew I should have asked the Italian space program. ''{wanders off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice work, The Strap. Another sucessful mission for ''{music starts, singing}'' Space Captainface!

''{A piece of cardboard labelled SPACE CAPTAINFACE is lowered on a fishing hook above Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still singing}'' Pretender of the galaxies! He's all-the-ways having space cocktails with hot 60's-looking girls!

''{Cut to wide shot, we see that The Cheat is holding a fishing rod with the SPACE CAPTAINFACE logo hanging from it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still singing, kind of}'' Where are all the hot 60's-looking girls? ''{music stops}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{enters}'' I'm in my 60's!

''{The Paper comes down.}''

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*The beeps in the filmstrip are common when a presenter is given a set of slides and a tape - so the presenter knows when to change the slides. Also, some combined tape player/projector models advance automatically upon detecting the beep.
*The "vague understanding of the theory of relativity" is a major misunderstanding of [[Wikipedia:Special relativity|Special relativity]], in particular the [[Wikipedia:twins paradox|twins paradox]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Sonar|Sonar]] ping is a method used to determine distance from one object to another, like two submarines. One will send out a low level "ping" that travels at a set speed through water, "bounces" off the other submarine, and is re-recieved by the first's sonar system. The amount of time this takes determines the distance. There is no sonar pong.
*Saying SBASAF is a definitely-for-profit organization is a reference to non-profit organizations.

===Trivia===
*The various things and text adorning Strong Bad's spaceship are from left to right:
**[[Duct Tape]]
**A [[Van Buren]] bust
**An [[ABA basketball]]
**Used paper towel rolls
**An [[Wikipedia:Atari 2600|Atari 2600]] joystick
**The [[Strongbadia|Strongbadian]] national flag/emblem
**A/C ductwork
**''"the proud anselmo"''
**''1ST LTNRL. S. CAPTAINFACE''
**Aluminum foil
**Upside down ''THIS WAYS''
**''"STRAP" COOPMORE''
**An empty milk carton

===Remarks===
*As of this cartoon's release, only the [[Wikipedia:United States of America|USA]], [[Wikipedia:Russia|Russia]], and [[Wikipedia:China|China]] have [[Wikipedia:Human spaceflight|manned space programs]]. [[Wiki:Italy|Italy]] is a member of the [[Wikipedia:European Space Agency|European Space Agency]].
*The fact that Homestar can't get his sweater on is ironic because his difficulty is with the sleeves and Homestar [[Lack of Visible Arms|has no visible arms]].
*In the old-fashioned video game shown on the TV, the player on the left is titled "Hamburger" even though it has a large layer of cheese in it which would technically make it a cheeseburger.
*The [[Tire]] wears a corded headset and is smoking a cigarette. Thus it appears to be the only acting member of Mission Control.
*Many times the projector goes to a new screen without the accompanied beep.
*"Track 03" is displaying on the CD player for the man falling down the stairs and for one of the laser sounds.

===Real-World References===
*The S. CAPTAINFACE log is similar to the ones that occur at the beginning of [[Wikipedia:Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]] episodes.
*Strong Bad's reference to Homestar Runner as a mutant from Satriani 5 is most likely a reference to guitar virtuoso [[Wikipedia:Joe Satriani|Joe Satriani]].
* The narrator's comments about shirt-sleeves and flattops being the order of the day is a good description of late '60s early '70s [http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/mirrors/images/images/pao/AS11/10075291.jpg Mission Control].
*"The Proud Anselmo" is named for [[Wikipedia:Phil Anselmo|Phil Anselmo]].
*[[Wikipedia:Albert Einstein|Albert Einstein]] was a twentieth century theoretical physicist, most famous for his [[Wikipedia:Theory of relativity|Theory of relativity]].
*[[Wikipedia:F/X|F/X]] is a movie from 2001 starring [[Wikipedia:Bryan Brown|Bryan Brown]] and [[Wikipedia:Brian Dennehy|Brian Dennehy]]. The movie is about a special effects technician who is hired by a government agency to help stage the assassination of a well-known gangster.
*The joystick next to the TV is the standard [[Wikipedia:Colecovision|Colecovision]] joypad, known as the "doorknob" due to the control stick's distinctive and somewhat uncomfortable shape.

===Inside References===
*The song that plays in the background of the slideshow is the song that plays when you roll over Store and Downloads on Main Page 19.
*The bust of Van Buren is from [[The Cheat]]'s character video.

50K Racewalker

2005-05-22T04:29:00Z

Strongpom Runner: /* Glitches */

[[Image:50Kracewalk.PNG|thumb|220px|OOPS!! You lose!!]]
[[Image:50Kracewalkbox.PNG|thumb|220px|Taste a walk!]]
'''50K Racewalker''' is a [[Videlectrix]] game by [[Jonathan Howe]].
Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Right... OOPS!!! You lose!! Alternate left right for about five hours without messing up and you could win the gold!!

'''Page Title:''' Take some steps!

== Instructions ==
After designing your character, and race mode starts, wait for the gun to fire and the word "Go" appears.

Then, taking your time, press "Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right..." slowly. If you do it too fast you'll get a FAULT. If you press the same key twice you will get a FAULT.

A FAULT is an annoying message that will appear and your character will stop for a few seconds.

For every white line you pass on the track, you have traveled .01 kilometers. There are 40 successful "steps" required between each white line, and 50.00 kilometers to go. That's a lot of walking!

==Glitches==
*Sometimes the game will load up incorrect data where you'll start at 0.01k and it will say fault for every step you take.
*When you get to the end and you are on the pedestal you can still walk but you just stay in the same place and one set of lights moves left.
**Once the cheering in the end stops, this can no longer be done.
*You can get a fault if you press the up or down button while playing the game.

== Easter Eggs ==
*There is a "big head mode" in a nod to NBA Jam, and many other sports games. To toggle between "big head" and normal press the 'h' key on the "Choose it out" screen.
*There is a fat walker mode. To toggle between a fat walker and a normal one press the 'f' key on the "Choose it out" screen.
**These tricks are case-sensitive and must be typed in lowercase.
*The arms on the walker can be moved up and down by pressing the arrow keys on the "Choose it out" screen.
*There are five different special combinations that can be put together on the "Choose it out" screen, each of which gives you a special name rather than "Steak Styles".
** WILT CHAMBERLAIN: (it doesn't let you edit name when you do this one)
*** Hair: Black
*** Skin: Golden Brown (top center)
*** Shirt: Yellow
*** Style: J
*** Shorts: Yellow
*** Shoes: Black

*** Hair: Blonde
*** Skin: Non-pale (center bottom)
*** Shirt: Pink
*** Style: C
*** Shorts: Medium Blue (upper left)
*** Shoes: Black

== Fun Facts ==
*This game is a parody of early Track and Field video games for older consoles, which simulated various track and field events by requiring the player to perform various tricks on the controller such as rapidly pushing the same button, alternating between two different buttons, rotate the joystick a certain number of times, or something similar.
*The "LICENSED BY FUNMACHINE" screen at the beginning pokes fun at classic video games and consoles, especially the [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]] which displayed a "LICENSED BY SEGA" screen before each game, regardless of whether the game was actually licensed or not.
**The name "FUNMACHINE" may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo 64|Nintendo 64]], which was sometimes referred to as "The Fun Machine" on the packaging.
**[[Videlectrix]] fans should also note that [[Secret Collect]] was also for the FUNMACHINE, while Strong Bad's [[RhinoFeeder]] was for the SUPER FUNMACHINE.
*When you approach 1K, your character starts walking into a pixilated blackness. Once you reach 1K, a message pops up, saying "Woah! We didn't expect anyone to play for this long. Um, we didn't program this far. Hang on..." After a few seconds, the blackness is apparently programmed in, and you can continue.
*When you get to the end it shows you a screen that says "You placed 3rd", and shows your character walking up onto a stand that reads "3", with two others on "1" and "2".
**You can view the end screen by right clicking and pressing play or forward in the swf file.
*The signs you walk/run by say:
**Walk!
**Go ________!(Whatever you typed in for a name.)
**Farther!
**These boots were made for it!
**I've always loved you!
**Our arms are tired!
**You're almost there!
**With your feet!
**Walk it off!
**Fun sport!
**Iron Steed!
**Beware Cheplin!
**Weapons located in every corner!
**Why?
**Play footsie with me!
**Walk Better!
**Left! Right! Left! Right!
**Here!
*You can highlight the text on the signs in the background with your mouse like you would regular text on a word processor.
*The fastest you can walk is approximately 0.04 km per minute, meaning the fastest that one kilometer can be walked is 25 minutes. It would take 1250 minutes, or 20 hours and 50 minutes, to walk 50 kilometers.
*Finishing the 50k would take, at 40 steps per 0.01k, 200,000 steps/keypresses.
*40 steps per .01 km averages to 25 cm, or about 9.8" per step. That's almost a tiptoe.
*This game was last seen in Strong Bad's [[Floppy Disk Container|floppy disk container]] in the email [[sibbie]].
*The cheering sound when you cross a line comes from several games for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellivision Intellivision] game system.
*The line "these boots were made for it!" is a reference to the famous Nancy Sinatra song "These Boots Are Made For Walking."
*[[Wikipedia:Wilt Chamberlain|Wilt Chamberlain]] was an legendary NBA player (among other things) who holds nearly 100 NBA records.
*[[Wikipedia:Bruce Lee|Bruce Lee]] was a legendary martial artist, film star, and creator of the Jeet Kune Do style of martial arts.
*[http://ramblinwreck.collegesports.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/schenscher_luke00.html Luke Schenscher] appears to be a basketball player for Georgia Tech.
*[[Wikipedia:Julius Erving|Julius Erving]] (aka Dr. J) was a famous basketball star, most notably for his work with the [[Wikipedia:American Basketball Association|ABA]].
*The FAULT noise is the sound of launching a ball in the Atari 2600 game [http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareID=1437 Video Pinball].
