Bleu Ninja: /* Subdomains and Folders */ adjust which words are linked

[[File:HR web screenshot 2021-01-01.png|thumb|300px|https://homestarrunner.com]]
{{about|website}} {{for|YouTube channel|homestarrunnerdotcom}} {{for|personal website of [[Homestar Runner]]|Homestar Runner's Website}}

'''homestarrunner.com''' is the {{wp|URL}} of the website and primary home of the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work.

==Structure==
[[File:main1.png|thumb|The first Main Page]]
The [[index page]] is the first page one sees when visiting the website, and displays [[Index Page Messages|recent updates]], merchandise, and a link to a randomly selected [[Main Pages|Main Page]] (of which there are currently 28). The Main Pages, which are the main menus of the site, split homestarrunner.com into six main categories: [[Toons]], [[Games]], [[Characters]], [[Downloads]], [[Store]], and [[Email]]. A few of these categories host subcategories such as [[Strong Bad Email]] and [[Teen Girl Squad]]. The Main Pages also link to the [[Museum]], the [[Weeklies]], [[Main Page Messages|recent site updates]], the toon [[First Time Here?]], and the rest of the Main Pages.

Outside of the frame, the rest of the screen is simply black, with a round border around the Flash files. Some toons use this black space to their advantage, such as the Strong Bad Email [[virus]], in which [[Strong Bad]] runs outside the frame, or [[flashback]], when Strong Bad [[Widescreen|extends the boundaries]] of the screen to reveal [[Homestar Runner]], who says he's usually "behind the black". Below the frame is the [[Site Components#NavBar|navigation bar]], which has small links to various sections of the site, functioning as a more condensed version of the Main Pages on almost every page. Most toons have previous/next buttons above the navigation bar, indexed by toon category. There are other [[site components]] as well, embedded into Flash files so that they are rarely accessed on their own.

The site is navigated mainly via [[Flash]] menus, currently emulated through [[Ruffle]] as of the [[post-Flash site update]] on December 31, 2020. Many of these menus have a specific theme or gimmick, such as the [[TV Time Toons Menu]], which is listed on a ''{{wp|TV Guide}}''-like [[Periodicals|magazine]], and the Downloads menu, which looks like an [[ATM]]. Most menus have an interactive aspect to them. The Main Pages, for instance, have certain events that play when the cursor hovers over each button, and the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]] takes the form of a vertical {{wp|scrolling shooter}} video game.

One unique aspect of the website is the abundance of [[Easter eggs]]. For example, clicking the last digit of the copyright date on any of the Main Pages takes one to the [[Homsar Main Page]], and clicking "Eject" on the VHS player and clicking the "Homsar" tape on the [[Character Videos]] page will play [[Homsar's Character Video]]. The majority of these Easter eggs can be found in toons. Some of them require clicking on something while the toon is playing, but most of them can only be found once the toon has ended. Sometimes the clickable area will change when the cursor is hovered over it to indicate an Easter egg, such as the red letter "D" turning yellow at the end of [[Hremail 7]], but usually there will be no indication of an Easter egg beyond the cursor changing. The "Tab" button on the keyboard can sometimes be pressed to locate Easter eggs.

Another unique aspect is the loading screens. The main sections of the website generally use the same loading screen: the Homestar Runner logo hovering up and down against a white background. However, specific toons often have a more unique loading screen, usually relating to the toon itself. These loading screens occasionally [[Irregular Loading Screens|say something besides "loading"]], such as "load", or even no text at all.

The [[page titles]] are ordinarily different than the toon or menu name, and frequently contain jokes. For example, the index page has the page title "Everybody! Everybody!", which is the lyrics to the [[Everybody Everybody#The song|intro song]]. Since the post-Flash site update, page titles are followed by the subfolder name (if applicable), the page's actual name, and the name Homestar Runner.

Hidden among the website are various [[secret pages]], ranging from [[Lappynapped!|toons never added to the main list]], [[Sbemail 100 Fakeout|pages intended to be found]], and [[unfinished toons]]. There have also been secret pages removed after fans found them, such as [[If I Ran the Camera]].

===Subdomains and Folders===
The website also hosts several {{wp|subdomain}}s. These include:
*[[podstar:|podstar.homestarrunner.com]], which hosts the menu and files for [[Podstar Runner]]
*[[trogdorboardgame:|trogdorboardgame.homestarrunner.com]], a subdomain for [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Website|updates and information]] on [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]]
*{{p|l=http://cst.homestarrunner.com cst.homestarrunner.com}}, a subdomain hosting [[Crime Scene Tamperer Soundboard|content and information]] about [[Crime Scene Tamperer]]
*[[newhr:|new.homestarrunner.com]], which displays a redesigned HTML version of the index page that was [[Post-Flash Site Update#History|eventually abandoned]]
*[[oldhr:|old.homestarrunner.com]], an archive of the pre-2021 Flash site

There are also a few folders within the domain:
*"stinkogame", the folder housing [[Stinkoman 20X6]]
*"sadjournal", which houses [[Strong Sad's Lament]]

===Filename Conventions===
[[File:Neon 404.png|thumb|The [[Neon 404'd|404 error]] page, which is opened when a nonexistent file is requested.]]
On the old Flash site, many of the page files (.html files) and Flash files (.swf files) for the main [[:Category:Features|features]] have consistent naming conventions. For example, the page file for a [[Strong Bad Email]] is "sbemailX.html", where X is the email number, with a [[Irregular Strong Bad Email URLs|handful of exceptions]]. The same goes for [[Teen Girl Squad]] (tgsX.html), and [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]] (answerX.html).

[[Toons|Toon]] URLs, however, are less consistent. Sometimes, the page file relates to the toon. For example, [[A Jorb Well Done]] is "cantsayjob.html". Usually, the Flash file will have the same filename as the html page, but there are some exceptions. If this is not the case, the Flash file may be found by viewing the page source and reading the filename from the line that includes "<code><nowiki><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="FILENAME.swf"></nowiki></code>". Many URLs [[URLs that end in 2|end in the number 2]].

Since the post-Flash site update, URLs for toons consist of the file directory (such as <code>/toons/</code> or <code>/sbemails/</code>), followed by the email number (in the case of [[Strong Bad Email]]s) and the toon name, written in lowercase with any spaces replaced by dashes. The Flash filenames remain the same as before, and can be found in the line that includes "<code><nowiki><embed id="embed" class="embed-responsive-item" src="FILENAME.swf" loop="false" menu="false" quality="high" width="750" height="545"></nowiki></code>".

==Domain==
The domain was registered on December 6, 1999 by [[Harmless Junk, Inc.]] Its {{wp|IP address}} is 72.10.33.178.

The website was originally hosted by {{wp|Yahoo!}}. It was [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#A question about the Podcasts. - Red Toque|so popular that it wildly exceeded Yahoo's bandwidth limits]] and was [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Who are the bandwidth providers?|moved to Sagonet]]. Around October 2006 [[FAQ|it was transferred to Caronet]]. Currently, the site is hosted by {{w|GoDaddy}}.

===Other Domains===
[[File:Thoraxcorp.png|thumb|The [[Thorax Corporation]] home page.]]
Harmless Junk, Inc. also hosts other domains, including [[videlectrix.com]] and [[thoraxcorp.com]] {{inlinecontentwarning|mild language|This website contains mild profanity}} {{--}} both based on companies within the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. The domain name whatthepfargtl.com was registered based on the toon [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]], but the site was never set up and expired April 30, 2008.

===Email Addresses===
[[File:SBZone inbox.jpg|thumb|"@homestarrunner.com" email addresses see much less use in the 2020s, with most either closed or sending humorous auto-replies that discourage further emails.]]
{{seealso|Email}}
Various "@homestarrunner.com" email addresses, both for real-world people and fictional characters, have been listed on the site throughout the years. As of 2015, their use has been reduced.
*'''brotherschaps'''@homestarrunner.com was the personal email address of [[The Brothers Chaps]], the creators of Homestar Runner. This email address was removed from the site in late 2015, and as of 2023 [[Email#Email Us!|sends an automated reply]] stating that it "isn't so much of a valid email address no more".
**'''cascone'''@homestarrunner.com was the contact email for "business guy" [[Michael Cascone]], who managed various business and merchandise wholesale dealings for Homestar Runner from 2002 through 2004. This address was briefly listed [[Email#Store support (2003)|on the Email page in 2003]].
*'''strongbad'''@homestarrunner.com was the email address for fans to ask Strong Bad questions, appearing at the end of nearly every [[Strong Bad Email]].
**From 2015{{-}}2022 ([[sbemail 206]] through [[parenting]]), sbemails instead ended with [[CGI Paper|a prompt]] to "tweet to email strong bad" at the [[social media|Twitter]] account [[@StrongBadActual]].
**As of early 2026, the address sends [[Strong Bad Email#Trivia|an automated reply]] stating the inbox has been "quarantined" and any future Strong Bad Emails will respond to fan messages that have already been received.
*'''depressio'''@homestarrunner.com was used in the Strong Bad Email [[depressio]] as Strong Sad's email address.
** At first, emails sent to this address would receive [[depressio#Easter Eggs|an automated response from Strong Sad]] that linked to [[Strong Sad's Secret Styles]] and, later, [[Strong Sad's Lament]].
**Sometime around 2006, the inbox was deleted. Sending an email would only result in a default {{w|bounce message}}.
**Around 2018, the inbox was reopened and served as the sender for [[The Deleteheads Download]]. It is currently dormant.
*'''deleteheads'''@homestarrunner.com is used as the sender for the update newsletter since "The Deleteheads Download" rebranded to "Homestar Runner Updates" [[Homestar Runner Updates#New Short, New Shirt, New Homepage! (February 13, 2024)|in February 2024]].
*'''DJmankiewicz'''@homestarrunner.com was the email address for sending [[Hremails]] to Homestar Runner, introduced in [[email thunder]]. Emails receive [[Hremails#Replies|an automatic response from Homestar]] commenting on the "big [[portmanteaus|cavalcanche]] of emails" he is receiving.
*Two [[Halloween]] toons solicited votes for viewer's favorite costumes using specialized email inboxes. Although both addresses are inactive, simply returning {{w|bounce message}}s, they are still linked from the toons.
**'''halloween2000'''@homestarrunner.com was used in [[Homestarloween Party]]. The end screen asked viewers "Which costume was your favorite? Click here to let us know.", with "here" opening a blank email to this address.
**'''ween'''@homestarrunner.com was used in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]. At the [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats#Later that Night...|end screen]], viewers were directed to vote for their "favorite costume"; clicking a character would automatically compose an email to this address with a humorous subject line and [[Pokémon|pun]] relating to the chosen costume. The winner was revealed in the [[Everything Else, Volume 2|DVD-exclusive]] toon [[Halloween Awards Show]].
*'''costumes'''@homestarrunner.com and '''punkins'''@homestarrunner.com were used to collect [[Fan Costumes|costume and pumpkin photos]], respectively, for a contest announced via [[Main Page Pop-Ups#halloween contests!|a 2009 Main Page pop-up]]. Prizes were awarded in [[Fan Costumes '09]] and [[Punkin Show]].

==Browser Support==
[[File:HSR mobile screenshot.png|thumb|On mobile]]
===HTML Validity===

homestarrunner.com does not pass the [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.homestarrunner.com&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0 W3C Validation Test], at least not on many of its pages. This is mainly due to no DOCTYPE and because it uses the EMBED HTML Object (which is is not valid HTML 4.01; [http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=174681 flash satay] must be used in order to bypass validation errors.)

===Mobile Browser Support===

Prior to the December 31, 2020 update, the website was not fully supported by mobile browsers, as it was made up almost entirely of Flash files. However, the site could be fully viewed on Android devices until 2012, when Flash Player support was discontinued for Android. It was suggested in [[Flash is Dead!]] that by circa February 2016, the website (or any future additions to it) would be in {{wp|HTML5}} format. HTML5 is not only more secure, but its [[wikipedia:HTML5 video|video format]] is supported by some mobile browsers.

In late 2017, The Brothers Chaps started on an [[newhr:|HTML redesign]] of the site. This redesign was much simpler and uses embedded YouTube videos instead of Flash content, with links to the old site, as well as links to other non-Flash content such as the Store, the [[YouTube#homestarrunnerdotcom|YouTube]] channel, the HTML5 [[TROGDOR!]] game, and the @StrongBadActual Twitter account. In addition, selected toons and Strong Bad Emails could be viewed from mobile devices via official YouTube uploads, and a few toons released since 2016 had been posted on the site in embedded YouTube video format.

On December 31, 2020, the redesigned website was updated to use Ruffle instead of Flash, allowing the entirety of the site to be viewable on mobile devices for the first time since 2012. In addition, the website has received some optimizations for mobile devices in order to improve the layout of the pages.

Talk:Trogdor Was A Man

Bleu Ninja — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 23:05:24 GMT

Bleu Ninja: unsigned

== Possible Electric Company reference ==

I feel like the scene with two silhouetted Trogdors speaking "S" to each other could be a reference to [[YouTube:INL6hc9yEow|this recurring segment]] of ''The Electric Company'' (which did air during the '70s) where two people would say part of a word to each other, with the letters coming out of their mouth in a similar fashion. Am I just seeing things, or could it be a match? {{User:Homestar-Winner/sig}} 03:49, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

==Change name?==
could we change the name from Trogdor was a man to "Trogdor was dragon man" like the youtube video is named? --[[User:Jeffjman|J∃ffJ]][[User_talk:Jeffjman|Man]][[File:jeffjsigchrismas.png|23px]] 13:37, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
*It used to be called Trogdor Was Dragon Man on the site, but it was changed since [[Post-Flash Site Update|the site got updated]], which was after the YouTube version was uploaded. If anything, the YouTube video's name is the one that needs updating. [[User:Keegster2|Keegster2]] 17:36, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
::Yeah, I also saw that the name is ''trogdor was a man'' on the soundtrack, so, that's also enough evidence --[[User:Jeffjman|J∃ffJ]][[User_talk:Jeffjman|Man]][[File:jeffjsigchrismas.png|23px]] 17:40, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

== PBTC Chain? ==

Hi everyone,

Regarding {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Trogdor_Was_A_Man&diff=823515&oldid=819545 this edit}} by [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]], the {{t|apbtcnav}} template was removed because this toon was apparently never listed as part of the website's [[Powered by the Cheat]] [[Toons#Powered by The Cheat|category]].

First, the technical issue: removing just the template from this page and not from the {{t|pbtcnav-lookup}} list, breaks the chain of links since other toons still link to this one. This happened before and left a gap that wasn't caught and fixed for 2 years.

Now, for the non-technical discussion: It seems that the [[Powered by the Cheat]] page lists this toon as a "Powered by the Cheat" item. This is likely different from the former official [[Toons#Powered by The Cheat|category]] that is now defunct. So, I think the question that remains is: what will this nav list portray? Should it stick to category items or just full PBTC items in general? (Or maybe even include partial items too?) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:14, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
:As far as I can tell, the nav-lookup templates for toons menu categories are intended only to include things in that specific category in the menu. Note that {{t|holidaynav-lookup}} only includes stuff in the menu, while excluding most teasers and YouTube holiday stuff, as well as what{{--}}even though it's a game{{--}}for all intents and purposes would be considered the 2021 Halloween toon. Though the category is retired, I feel like {{t|pbtcnav-lookup}} should only be listing what was on the PBTC listing on the website to be consistent with the other lookup templates, especially since as far as I can tell there's no other list of which specific toons were a part of the category. Even [[All Toons]] lists some stuff as "Powered by The Cheat" that was not listed as such on the website. Also note that the [[Powered by The Cheat]] page lists some other items like [[Seasonal Sweaters]] and [[Grumblecakes (video)]] that weren't a part of the category. {{User:DEIDATVM/sig}} 22:26, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

== Goof? ==

Hello! Just popping in to say I noticed a goof I couldn't find listed on the article. The middle tooth of Dragon Man Trogdor is transparent, and I'm about 95% sure it's not supposed to be (You never know with PBTC). Images included here:
(If the added images don't work, [https://file.garden/X4Sjx-a95myVyiCg/niceteethtroggie1.png click] [https://file.garden/X4Sjx-a95myVyiCg/niceteethtroggie2.png these] [https://file.garden/X4Sjx-a95myVyiCg/niceteethtroggie3.png links].)

https://file.garden/X4Sjx-a95myVyiCg/niceteethtroggie2.png
https://file.garden/X4Sjx-a95myVyiCg/niceteethtroggie3.png

I also noticed this weird muffled background noise while Strong Sad and PBTC Strong Sad are talking at the end of the toon, though I'm not sure if this is specific to my headphones or not. --[[User:Laven day|Laven day]] 06:56, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

== Strong Sad Remark ==

Adding a second bit to this discussion, I wanted to get some feedback before making an edit to the article itself.

Pertaining to the PBTC Strong Sad remark in the article where it claims he didn't have a mouth in the first appearance and does in the second, I'd like to claim that, rather, he ''does'' have a mouth in his first appearance and then gains a second, lower mouth in his second appearance.

In his first appearance, PBTC Strong Sad has his eyes and a small line under his eyes, either a sort of upturned nose or a mouth. In the second one, he has what is much more obviously a mouth.

I'm makin' the argument that it's a mouth as, when PBTC Strong Sad shakes his head, you can see the sorta upturned line under his eyes go up more, like he was frowning more. That, and as far as I know, no Homestar Runner character, or at least Strong Sad, has been depicted with a nose in that style, and I feel like this would be a weird bit to start, and then immediately stop, doing that, even if it's PBTC. --[[User:Laven day|Laven day]] 07:09, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

== Extra space in youtube title ==

I'm not sure how to make it render on the page here. I typed two spaces but the wiki seems to auto-collapse that into one space, and I don't know how to force it to not do that.
As for the extra space being visible on the mobile app, I don't know if this will change in a future update. I also don't know if it's device-dependent; I tested it on my Android phone and on my father's iPad, and it seemed to render in the app on both. I also don't know if this is something that would've been different in older versions of the YT app.
Regardless, clicking "view page source", pressing CTRL+F, and searching for "Trogdor Was" will show you that there are indeed two spaces after the word "Was".
I tweeted at Strongbad's official account to ask why the name is different on YT. IDK if the creators will bother changing it, but if they ever do, the fact that it was like this should still remain mentioned. {{unsigned|68.193.113.236|02:47, 13 September 2026 (UTC)}}

== Confusion about toon's origin and potential original title ==

I've seen a claim that the toon was originally titled "Trogdor Was Dragon Man" on the flash site as well. If true, this presumably would've been when it was linked to as part of the Main Page Messages. Is it actually true? Is there an archive anywhere that can be checked? And did it have the extra space like the YouTube title has (check the YouTube page source if it doesn't render for you)?
Another oddity is that the article for Main Page Messages never mentions anything ever linking to this cartoon. {{unsigned|68.193.113.236|13:41, 13 September 2026 (UTC)}}

== Date-abase? ==

Wouldn't it be cool and useful if someone added the date of appearance for each of the "Special Cases" to the table? Because that someone is not me. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

== Email Soon ==

I pressed the "email soon" button [for the sbemail on march 13] and it led me to the 404'd page. Did this happen before? --[[User:Collin Diver|Collin Diver]] 01:09, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

:Not that I know of. As far as I know, it was never linked to anything in the past. Then last email, it linked to the [[Strong Bad Email]] menu, and this time I just pointed out on [[H*R.com updates 2007]] a few minutes ago that it linked to the [[404'd]] page. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:13, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

== Rolled Over ==

I added the "rolled over" section of the main page messages list but it was only used once for the old quote of the week button. So should i keep it or delete it? [[User:Homestar-winner|Homestar-winner]] 00:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
:I was pondering that myself... Maybe we could mention that it changed when rolled over to the "Notes" section. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 00:23, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

:::Well. I couldn't do it last night, but I just did it now, [[User:Homestar-winner|Homestar-winner]] 09:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

== Messages with the toon's name ==

It says up there that we don't record when the button is just the toon's name. Well, why not? Shouldn't the list be as complete as possible? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

== 10% or 15% off? ==

I have all the necessary info for the "10% off sale!" button (it's orange), except I don't remember if it's "15%" instead of "10%." [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 17:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
:You could check the [[Store Front Page News 2007|Store Front Page News]] articles for details. I think it was 10. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:01, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

== Text Colors ==

Should we list the color of the text in EACH of the main page messages? I can only remember none. {{User:Mee/sig}}
:I can only see it not being black or white on the [[main pages]] page in the "puppetween" and "new main page" main page massage. I mean, message. {{User:Mee/sig}}

== Kick the Cheat button ==

If you click the button that reads "[[kick the cheat]] endangered" the position of the text won't change from where it was when you roll over the button.I also remember this happening on the "10% off sale" button. You can see it [[:Image:Newbutton Goof.png|here]], but it may be better just to see it [[HR:newbutton.swf|here]]. Should this be nited somewhere? {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 21:10, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

== Homestar's 13th Anniversary... or is it 15th? ==

No, I'm not denying that it's been 13 years, but the Main Page Message says "13% off sale!" on a blue button, and when you roll over it turns dark yellow. Here's what's weird. The button does nothing when clicked, and if you hold the mouse down, it says 15% off instead of 13% off. Should this count as part of the 10% sale or be a special case?

== "support the wiki" ==

The Chaps put up [[HR:main13.html|an ad]] for supporting this wiki today (8 October 2009), it comes after the "laptop skins" button. Would that be a special case?
:Update: Thanks [[User:That'sBupkis|That'sBupkis]] and [[User:Jay|Jay]].

== Extra H.C. stuff ==
When I entered the contest I got back a email where I got the gift code, and I didn't even win.

So should I add something like:
"...Although, the prize was 10% off anything over $20.00. Also, Instead of everyone who won the contest, everyone who entered got the gift code."

{{User:Nihaho13/sig}} 00:59, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
: I'm pretty sure that ''everyone'' got the discount (including me, whose pumpkin didn't get featured at all grumble it was a short enough toon as is), but the winners got a better reward. Can't prove it, though. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:03, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

== Main Page 26 new main page ==

The "new main page" button for [[Main Page 26]] isn't Blue & Yellow, just plain Blue.

Also, anyone noticed that the only "new main page" and "april fools toon" buttons are scrolling?

[[User:TheLupineOne|TheLupineOne]] 15:39, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

== It's still Trogday ==

For the anniversary of [[dragon|a random email]] this year, tbc announced a sale of SBCG4AP. Earlier in the evening, Soiled Bargains identified this as a Main Page Message. I thought those were only for the bubbles in the top-right corner of the main pages, rather than this automatic box in the bottom-right corner. so, does this update belong on this page? and if not, where does it belong? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 07:13, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
:I think it's the best place to put it. It may not on or triggered by (i.e., pop-up messages) the button but it's still a message displayed on all Main Pages. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 18:30, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

== Last Updated 12-22-10? ==

This kind of occurrence has happened before (especially regarding [[They Call Him Flipper]]), but never on anything normally visible on the site. The main page message changed on or around October 3, and the wiki has documented this in multiple ways, but for me it still says "Last Updated 12-22-10" and has the update button from that time. Yet, I am able to see [[Fish Eye Lens]] in the Toons menu and can access it as well. Flushing the DNS on my end does not appear to fix it.

Is this happening to anyone else?
--{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 11:11, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

== Current Messages Section ==

I think it's high time we <s>composed a rock opera</s> started keeping track of the messages that are currently on the main page. Just like add this little section at the top:

<blockquote>
===Current Messages===
:''Last updated 4-01-18''

I made some minor changes to the table like adding a "link" column, so that could either be kept or scrapped. But what do people think about having the section? {{User:SRMX12/sig}} 16:24, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
:I like it! I'm surprised this isn't on the page already. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 22:53, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

== what to do with broken links? ==

The link for trogdor hoodies is broken. Does it make sense to point to a Wayback Machine link (https://web.archive.org/web/20151127105545/https://homestore-runner.myshopify.com/collections/hoodies) or something like that instead? [[User:Trott|Trott]] 06:52, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

: The jibblies shirt, witch's brew shirt, and raised by a cup of coffee mug links to the shopify store are all broken too. [[User:Trott|Trott]] 06:57, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

::I don't know what the general wiki policy is (or if one exists)... as someone who has recently done a decent amount of work on updating and revising Store pages, I've noticed that they tend to be among the least-visited and least-updated portions of the wiki (it's not uncommon to find a page referring to the [[Yahoo store]] (which closed nearly a decade ago) in present tense).
::In any event... I prefer using internal links for products. So (to use a non-dead link example), a reference to "the Trogdor shirt" would be linked to [[Shopify Store Clothing#tshirt_trogdor_shirt]] rather than https://homestore-runner.myshopify.com/collections/shirts/products/trogdor-shirt; the wiki page has images and text that won't disappear even if the item is pulled from the store, and at the footer the External Links point to the store page. Personally I don't think it's worth the extra effort to add Wayback links for the dozens of discontinued products across all the storefronts. --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 18:38, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

== Trogdor Was A Man/Trogdor Was Dragon Man former link? ==

The article for Trogdor Was A Man claims that the toon was originally only linked to from the Main Page Messages, before becoming a secret page. This article for the Main Page Messages doesn't mention that anywhere. Does this article not mention messages that have since been removed? Is there an archive of an older version of the flash site that can be checked?
Also, if it was in the Main Page Messages, was it referred to by a title at the time? Was the title the same as the YouTube version (as I've seen claimed elsewhere), was it the same as the title it has on the post-flash page, or was it simply untitled?{{unsigned|68.193.113.236| 13:47, 13 September 2026 (UTC)}}

:Checking the History tab, near where the toon was released: the revision dated October 5, 2018, linked first in the edit summary, added the toon to this list, and it lasted until the second linked revision in the edit summary roughly a year later. According to the history on [[Trogdor Was A Man]], in 2023, it was pointed out that this page was unnamed before the [[Post-Flash Site Update]], and the page was named after the YouTube title prior to that, which would be standard practice in that case.

'''Stinkoman [[20X6]]''' is a side-scrolling platformer game which stars {{Film|Stinkoman}}. Based on the {{w|Mega Man Classic|classic}} ''[[Mega Man]]'' games, Stinkoman travels through distinctive sci-fi worlds and faces a gauntlet of foes to save his friend [[Pan Pan]] from the villainous [[Z Sabre]]. The game further parodies Japanese video games of the {{w|third generation of video game consoles}} with writing done in the manner of [[Deliberately Poor English|poor Japanese to English translations]] common to video games of that era.

The game consists of ten levels; although the first nine were released in relatively quick succession, the game [[Development of Stinkoman 20X6 Level 10|remained unfinished for 15 years]] until the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 10|final level]] was released on December 20, 2020.

As a result of the [[post-Flash site update|site's transition to]] [[Ruffle]] on December 31, 2020, the game has numerous [[Stinkoman 20X6 Glitches#Ruffle|glitches]] that impact gameplay, including certain levels being unplayable. [[The Brothers Chaps]] are {{prs|1349884155576737793|14|Jan|2021|alt=aware of and working on the problem}}.

'''Page Title:''' Check out my new gameplay!

== Gameplay ==
This game is based on the [[Wikipedia:Mega Man Classic|classic Capcom ''Mega Man'' series]]. The '''A''' button makes Stinkoman jump while the '''S''' button makes Stinkoman shoot. Players navigate platforms, dodge hazards, and fire energy projectiles at incoming enemies. Players manage an energy bar, relying on mid-level checkpoints and health capsules to stay alive. Falling off ledges in Classic Mode results in immediate death, demanding strict precision; in the new mode, a fall costs one health. Each of the ten distinct levels features two main exploration stages followed by a dedicated boss arena. Levels are packed with unique traps, including moving conveyor belts, reverse trapdoors, and disappearing cloud platforms. Foes require strategic approaches, such as Greggo—a robot that becomes completely indestructible when looking directly at him. While Stinkoman is the primary protagonist, players control his friend 1-Up for a rescue mission in Level 5. Level 9 completely switches styles into a side-scrolling shoot-'em-up, placing players in the cockpit of the Stinkowing spaceship.

===Story===
{{spoiler}}
[[File:trylevel1.PNG|thumb|Challenge the fighting!]]
The game starts with Stinkoman winning a challenge against a robot named [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#tampo|Tampo]], which makes him want to go home. Upon arrival, [[1-Up]] informs him that [[Pan Pan]] has been kidnapped; however, Stinkoman ignores this in favor of challenging [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#brody|Brody]], whose bone caused him to choke on his chicken soup. He then takes a detour over a short wall, which happens to be a robot named [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#stlunko|Stlunko]]; Stinkoman beats it and takes its stone fist as a powerup.

Seeing that Stinkoman has no interest in rescuing Pan Pan, 1-Up goes out to rescue him on his own. He takes Stinkoman's [[Power Crunch]] (a cassette tape) through the Lava Zone, prompting Stinkoman to follow him, protect it, and ultimately trade it for his stone fist, which ends up [[Deliberately Poor English|gone to shreds]] in a fight with a lava snake named [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#saargtsson|Saargtsson]]. While the Power Crunch remains intact, the journey proves unsuccessful in rescuing Pan Pan, prompting 1-Up to set out from [[Stinkoman Headquarters]] once again. Stinkoman refuses to help a second time, so 1-Up goes to [[the moon]] alone. This attempt ends even worse than the last one, as 1-Up ends up carried off by the same silhouette that kidnapped Pan Pan.

Stinkoman finally begins showing some concern for 1-Up, taking a brief moment to wonder how he's doing, before taking a vacation to the Pink Cloud Zone for recreational challenges. It's soon revealed that the shadowy kidnapper has been watching him. This figure tries to kill Stinkoman by pressing a red button that sends him to the Ice Zone; however, he quickly realizes that he can keep moving to survive the cold. The figure retaliates by trapping Stinkoman sad inside a wall; this doesn't work either, as Stinkoman promptly blasts a section out of the wall and escapes.

At the end of the glitchy Negative Zone, Stinkoman defeats the "pile of junk" [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#ekersby|Ekersby]], and finds that one of its eyes is a device showing 1-Up and Pan Pan's whereabouts: the end of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 10|level 10]], where the red button is. This leads him to believe that they were the ones who red buttoned him, and finally heads off to level 10 for revenge. His destination (an evil fortress) is surrounded by an evil jungle, so he flies through it on his mostly cool ship, the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Playable Characters|Stinkowing]]. The shadowy figure launches a fleet in retaliation, including [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items#harvax xvii|Harvax XVII]], a robotic gangster full of prawns. This backfires on the shadowy figure; not only does Stinkoman defeat Harvax, but he eats the prawns inside, causing him to fall asleep at the fortress's doorstep while the figure grows impatient. 1-Up grows a prodigious beard and Pan Pan has a hundred babies.

Reaching the fortress's inner sanctum, Stinkoman finds 1-Up and Pan Pan and comes face to face with the shadowy kidnapper, revealed to be [[Z Sabre]]. Z Sabre attempts to destroy Stinkoman so that he can become "the guy", but 1-Up tosses Stinkoman his Power Crunch, powering him up and allowing him to defeat Z Sabre. Refusing to admit defeat, Z Sabre unleashes his "pet", [[Mecha-Trogador]]; Stinkoman destroys the robot, but this causes its crystal heart to start exploding, forcing everyone to escape before the fortress collapses. With Mecha-Trogador destroyed, the crystals powering him are freed, and 1-Up and Stinkoman propose keeping them out of the wrong hands as a potential sequel or animated series, with [[Marzi-Mei]] and [[Cheatball]] wanting to join. Unbeknownst to them, Z Sabre has survived the fortress's destruction and gained a mouth.

==History==
[[File:TBC at NYU Stinkoman20X6.JPG|thumb|A preview of the game shown [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|at New York University]] a few weeks before its initial release.]]
''Stinkoman 20X6'' was created with programmer and then-frequent collaborator [[Jonathan Howe]]. Howe [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Games - 4:30 p.m.|built a level editor]] in [[Flash]] that allowed [[the Brothers Chaps]] to directly construct the level designs, reducing the need for his direct involvement despite the brothers' relative lack of Flash programming ability. The game was first demonstrated at [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|a 2005 talk at NYU]] shortly before its version 1.0 launch on March 21, 2005.

The first nine levels of ''Stinkoman 20X6'' were released over a six-month period in 2005. The game's levels had grown progressively larger and more complex {{--}} as Mike related in [[Bobby Blackwolf Interview - 5 Sep 2005|a 2005 interview]], their use of unique per-level mechanics meant that the production of each level was requiring essentially the same amount of effort as making an entirely new game for the site {{--}} and after completing 5 or 6 stages, the decision was made to conclude the game after ten levels.

{{seemain|Development of Stinkoman 20X6 Level 10}}
Due to a variety of factors, the tenth and final level would not see completion for well over a decade. Production on the tenth level [[hiatus|went on hold]] sometime after the ninth level's release in 2005 and did not reenter active development until 2017, now led by programmer [[Jez Swanson]]; after several additional delays, the level 10 update was released alongside a [[Stinkoman Level 10 Launch Trailer|promotional trailer]] on December 20, 2020.

As of the [[post-Flash site update]] on December 31, 2020, the game has numerous [[Stinkoman 20X6 Glitches#Ruffle|glitches]] (including certain levels being unplayable) due to issues with [[Ruffle]]. The Brothers Chaps have promised that {{prs|1349884155576737793|14|Jan|2021|alt=the problem is being worked on}}, and will be fixed someday in the future.

'''Ryan North''' is a writer and comic author. As a fellow internet creator, he became "email friends" with [[the Brothers Chaps]] in the 2000s.{{ref|1}}

North penned [[Museum of Trogdor|"The Story of Peasant Handsomeface and Trogdor"]], a short story originally written for the ''[[Trogdor!! The Board Game]]'' Kickstarter.{{ref|2}} He also helped playtest the board game.{{ref|3}}

[[File:poodonkis-dromiceiomimus.png|thumb|"Hey Poodonkis, look {{--}} you're [[twice]]!"]]
Ryan North has been writing the webcomic ''{{w|Dinosaur Comics}}'' since 2003. The comic features the same layout (six panels featuring a T-Rex, Utahraptor and Dromiceiomimus on simplistic backgrounds) for nearly every strip, with only the dialogue changing day by day. In a 2006 interview, [[Matt Chapman]] listed the webcomic as a favorite that the brothers read regularly.{{ref|4}}

[[Jibblies 2]], the [[2007]] [[Halloween]] toon, introduced [[Strong Mad]]'s stuffed [[Dinosaurs|dromiceiomimus]] doll [[Poodonkis]]. The plush toy's pose is based on the ''Dinosaur Comics'' character.{{ref|5}} North acknowledged this "sweet cameo" on his site,{{ref|6}} joking that, since he had previously referenced ''[[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]'' in ''Dinosaur Comics'',{{ref|7}} "our websites are married now".

North was a guest at [[ROFLCon - 26 Apr 2008|ROFLCon 2008]], as were the Brothers Chaps (both were panelists, though they were not on the same panels). At the convention, an {{w|OLPC XO}} laptop was signed by many figures in attendance including North and the Chaps; this laptop model would go on to inspire [[Homestar Runner]]'s [[Happy 8600]].

==Transcript==
''{Strong Mad stands in front of a mirror labeled "Man of the Year" and "TIME", and places a Soviet ushanka on his head while grunting contentedly. He becomes confused and turns away from the mirror.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I FORGOT MY RUSKIE FLAG!

''{Foreboding music starts to play as Strong Mad walks to and opens the closet.}''

'''JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' Come on in heeeere.

''{A swirling green mist exits the the painting and makes contact with Strong Mad's eyes}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' AUGH! JIBBLIE JIBBLIE JIBBLIE JIBBLIE JIBBLIE JIBBLIE JIBBLIE!

''{Title appears: "Jibblies 2", "an incredibly scary halloween-type cartoon", "made by the same people who always make these cartoons", "okay, maybe it's not that scary"}''

''{Cut to The Stick.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{flips a hat onto The Stick}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, he looks adorable. Get a picture. Get a picture.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises; imitating the shutter click}'' ''{takes a picture with an imaginary camera}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's a keeper.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I don't know where Strong Mad is. You'd better go check on him.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noises}'' ''{walks away}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{calling out}'' Make sure he didn't get into our stash of razor blade candy apples again! ''{pause; to The Stick}'' I hate you.

''{Cut to the house of The Brothers Strong.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{walking in}'' ''{casual The Cheat noises}''

''{Cut to Strong Mad standing with his eyes shut and twitching violently.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' JIBBLIE JIBBLIE JIBBLIE JIBBLIE!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{screams, flails arms wildly}''

''{Strong Mad continues moaning and twitching. The Cheat stands in the doorway in shock and the Jibblies Painting approaches him from behind.}''

'''JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' Come on in heeeeeeere.

''{The Cheat turns around and is bombarded with green circles emanating from the Jibblies Painting. Cut to a statue shaking on the shelf while The Cheat begins making jibblie-like noises.}''

''{Cut to Marzipan playing a yellow guitar.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing off key (see [[#Trivia|below]]) with the notes}'' E... A... D... G... ''{phone begins to ring}'' Homestar, could you get that?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-screen}'' No way!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{annoyed}'' Homestar, I'm busy tuning my costume! ''{strums}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-screen}'' And ''I'm'' busy not answering the phone!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Humph. ''{Cut to answering machine with 666 waiting messages; foreboding music plays.}'' Oh, great, you made me miss it.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{answering machine recording}'' Boo! This is Marzipan. Leave me a spooky message. ''{beep}''

'''JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' ''{answering machine recording}'' Come on in heeeeeere. ''{green circles emanate from the speaker}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Jibblie jibblie jibblie... ''{continues while her eyes appear swirled}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously; walks on screen}'' Marzipan! I'm done not answering the phone! Do you still need me to answer the phone? Marzipan? What are you doing? Are you playing a song? What is that? Raspberry Beret? Wait, what's that? You say you want me to go out by myself and leave you here? Okay! If you say so! ''{walks away}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{continuing insulting The Stick, from earlier}'' ...and your stupid face! And your stupid face!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{walking on screen}'' Hey, Strong Bad! ''{to The Stick}'' Hey, The Cheat!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, if it isn't the Human Grate On My Nerves! Don't you have an estranged girlfriend to be annoying somewhere?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Naw, she's busy shimmying and shaking and talking about giblets or something.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Giblets? ''{foreboding music}'' Wait, Homestar, are you telling me that Marzipan has the jibblies?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offended}'' Strong Bad, I think that's a bit of a personal question.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We gotta hurry! Strong Mad and The Cheat are in great...{{--}}ve... danger! ''{runs off}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{pause; to The Stick}'' I hate you, The Stick.

''{Cut to The Brothers Strong's house.}''

''{Homestar and Strong Bad peek in the doorway and gasp. Cut to The Cheat and Strong Mad, who both have the jibblies.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh no! We're snowed in! ''{cut back to Homestar and Strong Bad}'' I mean, we're too late! I know who's behind all this! ''{walks to and opens closet, revealing a stuffed dinosaur}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Poodonkis is behind all this?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, no, no, not Strong Mad's stuffed ''Dromiceiomimus''. There's usually this really horrible painting in there. ''{cut to Jibblies Painting}'' Of some kind of demon holding a torch. Why is he holding that torch?!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad and Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, you mean the jibblies painting.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{abrupt record scratch}'' Wait, you know about it?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah! Brother called up Marzipan right before I ran into you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jibblies via phone line? It's worse than I thought!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Poodonkis must be stopped!

''{Cut to a table.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{deals a card}'' Oh, the Clutch of Glaives. ''{to Pom Pom}'' That means you should start sending some hot chicks over to your ''{pats his belly}'' dumpier friends. ''{flips another card}'' Ooh, and the Cult of Ray. That means you should seriously ''{puts fists on hips}'' stop hogging all the hot chicks!

'''POM POM:''' ''{accusatory bubbling noises}'' ''{points at Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Don't look at ''{pats his belly}'' me! The cards do not lie! ''{flips over a card with the demon from the Jibblies Painting on it, which reads, "THE ROCOULM".}'' Weird. I've never seen this one before.

''{The card flashes and suddenly the Jibblies Painting appears on the far wall.}''

'''JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' Come on in heeeeeere.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Jibblie jibblie jibblie... ''{continues while twitching his fingers}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{simultaneously}'' ''{jibblie-like bubbling noises accompanied by electrical sounds from his costume; continues}''

''{Cut to a silhouetted backdrop of outside Bubs' Concession Stand. Homestar and Strong Bad are seen running towards it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bubs!! Bubs!!

''{Cut to view of inside Bubs' Concession Stand looking outward}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We're gonna need garlic, crosses, silver bullets, holy water, and VHS copies of Pumpkinshead 2 through 4! ''{pause}'' Bubs?

'''BUBS:''' ''{offscreen}'' Jibblie!

''{Cut to behind Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs?

'''BUBS:''' Jibblie!

''{Bubs is sitting on the ground, obviously jibblified.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We're snowed in again!

'''BUBS:''' Jibblie?

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Homestar, we're on our own.

'''BUBS:''' Jibblie!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All the good characters have already been jibblied.

'''BUBS:''' Ahh... jibblie.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Coach{{--}}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupts}'' ''All''... the good... characters.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What we gonna do?

'''STRONG BAD:''' We gotta hide, man! That thing is unstoppable! We'll live underground and slowly evolve into mole people with gross eyes and claws. ''{forms his hands into claws and hisses}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sounds like a plan!

''{Cut to the showers in Coach Z's locker room.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Yes, when it's Hallerwern night and there's an insane paintin' runnin' around, there's no safer place for a pretty young thing like me than in the shower. My good man, could ya please pass the Port Plus?

''{Cut to the Jibblies Painting in the corner, wearing a shower cap}''

'''JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' Come on in heeeeere.

''{Cut back to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ehh-jorbaly jorbaly jorbaly... ''{continues}''

''{Cut to the King of Town's castle.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ding-dang-it, Poopsmith, I want me some of that giblet flu that's been going around. That mess sounds delicious!

''{Zoom in on the castle wall, a rock slides out of it, revealing the painting's face behind it}''

'''JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' Guess what, come on in heeeere.

''{Cuts back to the King of Town and the Poopsmith}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oooh, giblet giblet... ''{continues}''

''{The Poopsmith's lip quivers and he holds up a sign that says, "''JIBBLIE JIBBLIE''". Cut to the couch in Strong Bad's basement where Strong Bad and Homestar peek their head up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now all the lame characters have been jibblied too!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Eh-hem.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eh, sorry man. All but one.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thank you very much.

''{Close-up of Strong Bad behind the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, time to start evolving into mole people. Now shut your eyes really tight ''{closes eyes}'' and try and heighten your other senses. ''{grunts and feels about for Homestar}'' Eh, Homestar?

''{Strong Bad opens his eyes and frowns when he sees the Jibblies Painting sitting where Homestar was moments ago.}''

'''JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' Come... on... in heeeere!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not again! Jibblie jibblie jibblie... ''{starts smiling again. He continues wildly while hurtling into the air, dancing across the ceiling, and finally landing behind the couch. The Painting lands on the couch just before Homestar enters, carrying a sandwich on a plate.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sorry, makin' a sandwich. What did you just say?

'''JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' Come on in heeeere.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Come on in there? Okay. ''{steps into painting}''

''{Cut to a dungeon-like cave with a torch hanging on the wall. Homestar steps into the cave, having been transformed into a stylized, differently-colored version of himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, nice style! Hello? I came on in here!

''{The Rocoulm is sitting in a corner and waves.}''

'''JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' How's it going, man?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pretty good, creeptake. Is this your house?

'''JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' It's not much, but it's hooome. I plan to redo the kitchen.

''{Shot of the kitchen, which has a sink and a urinal. An orange drip comes from the sink.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That is literally so great. Listen, uh, how come you jibblized all my friends?

'''JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' I just wanted someone to come on in heeere. I looove to entertaaain.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What about that guy?

''{Shot of the Goblin dancing while the Goblin music plays. Cut back to Homestar and the Jibblies Painting.}''

'''JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' That guy has serious problems.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Well, if I let you entertain me, will you un-jibblify my pals?

'''JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' Yes, but you will have to stay here with me for all eternity.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, no sweat. I love eternity.

'''JIBBLIES PAINTING:''' Then it is done. ''{says "Come on in heeeere" backwards}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's basement.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{flying into the air}'' Jibblie Jibblie Jibblie Jibblie Super Scope 6! ''{lands on the couch}'' Whoa, the Jibblies are gone! I'm saved!

''{The Cheat and Strong Mad walk in from the left.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' ME TOO.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad, The Cheat, you're all right! Everything is back to normal.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Marzipan walks in from right}'' You guys, have you seen Homestar?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{annoyed}'' What are you doing in my house?

''{Cut to Strong Mad's closet. The Jibblies Painting is back inside, only now Homestar is sitting next to the demon. Both are holding cups of tea and there is a slice of cake on the ground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So... is it eternity yet? I think it is eternity already. Oops, it's five past eternity. You better let me go. Beep, beep, beep! Your eternity alarm is going off; it's probably time to send me home.

''{Fade to black; a card reading, "END of TOON" is tossed into view.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan is supposed to be making me some giblets or something...

''{Final stinger music plays as background color flashes white and black. Cut to the standard ending scene of the various characters wearing their costumes.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"{{p|l=http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Ruskie&defid=70720 Ruskie}}" is [[Wikipedia:Cold War|Cold War]]-era slang for a Russian person, most commonly used by Americans. It is a corruption of the Russian word "русский" (''Russkiy'', pronounced "rooskiy"), which means "Russian" in the Russian language.
*The cards on the loading and end screen, and during Pom Pom's and Strong Sad's scene, are modeled after the 22 [[Wikipedia:Major Arcana|major arcana]] cards of a [[Wikipedia:Tarot|tarot deck]]. As Strong Sad is doing, they are often used for fortune telling, and have various meanings depending on location and order.
*Most of the supplies Strong Bad asks Bubs for are traditional weapons against mythological creatures: garlic, holy water, and crosses against vampires, and silver bullets against werewolves.
*Strong Bad's mention of razor blade candy apples refers to the [[Snopes:horrors/mayhem/needles.asp|urban legend]] of unscrupulous people leaving dangerous items like needles and razor blades embedded in Halloween treats.
*In place of the Painting in Strong Mad's closet is a stuffed Dromiceiomimus. Dromiceiomimus was an ornithomimid dinosaur (commonly called "ostrich dinosaurs") from late Cretaceous Canada. Unlike the stuffed toy Strong Mad has, Dromiceiomimus had no teeth.
*When Marzipan gets the message from the Jibblies Painting, it is message number [[666]], traditionally referred to as the [[Wikipedia:Number of the Beast|Number of the Beast]].

===Trivia===
[[File:TheLoading.png|150px|thumb|the LOADING XVIII]]
*While tuning her guitar, Marzipan plays an [[Singing Out of Tune|A while singing E]], D while singing A, G while singing D and B while singing G.
*The [[Hanging Objects#Marzipan's House|"Thank You" painting]] in Marzipan's house is dressed up in orange and black for Halloween.
*When the Jibblies Painting demon un-jibblifies everyone, the [[Reversed Dialogue|backwards]] sound clip is merely his classic line "come on in here" reversed.
*Strong Sad's tarot cards have "Uh OH, TAROT!" written on the back of them.
*Originally, this toon did not contain the Easter eggs for The King of Town or The Poopsmith. They were added about a day after the toon's release.
*The [[Irregular Loading Screen|loading screen]] reads "the LOADING".
*Due to his costume, Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] through most of the toon, except right before he is jibblied.
*This is the first main Halloween toon since [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] to not have some variation of "Halloween" in the name. This is also true of all subsequent main Halloween toons.
*The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "Come on in here!"

===Remarks===
*When Homestar Runner and the Goblin are inside the Jibblies Painting, they appear in [[Wikipedia:CMYK color model|cyan, magenta, yellow, and black]] colors only.
*Marzipan's guitar only has five strings pictured. Also, she names the lowest four strings of a guitar, but plays and sings the pitches A, D, G, B (i.e. starts with the second lowest string).
*Marzipan walks toward her [[PhoneTime XL8|answering machine]] when she tries to answer the phone, but the phone is not on the same table as the answering machine.
*This is the first Halloween toon that does not take place in the [[Spooky Woods]] at any point.
*The tarot card reading "End of Toon" is numbered 27 in Roman numerals - a standard tarot deck includes only Major Arcana cards numbered up to 21, also usually in roman numerals.
*Though Homestar is holding a sandwich when he enters the painting, he is not shown with it once inside.
*In [[bottom 10]] and [[More Fan Costumes]], the jibblies only lasted a few seconds, but in this toon, they last until the painting says "Come on in here" backwards.
*Strong Sad's eyes are significantly further up on his head than normal.
*The buttons on Marzipan's answering machine are misaligned compared to its previous appearances.

===Goofs===
*When The Cheat goes into Strong Mad's room, a line can be seen on the wall to the left of the door.
*Strong Sad's mouth doesn't move while speaking after he has been jibblified.
*When clicking on any character at the end with an Easter egg, the King of Town's necklace and The Poopsmith's glasses shift to the left slightly and Strong Bad's and Marzipan's mouths change, then return to normal when the dialogue is over.
**The mouths do not change during Bubs's, Strong Bad's or Strong Sad's Easter eggs.
*Clicking on Homsar at the end causes his costume name to disappear.

===Fixed Goofs===
*At the end, when everyone's costume is revealed, the name of former pro wrestler [[Wikipedia:Nikolai Volkoff|Nikolai Volkoff]] was misspelled. This has since been corrected.
*When the camera zoomed out to show Marzipan having the jibblies, the buttons weren't on the answering machine. This was fixed later.

===Fixed Glitches===
*When this toon was released, during the close up of Marzipan's answering machine, the "next" button was clickable, and doing so repeatedly caused the sound to go out of sync with the animation. This was fixed at the same time that the King of Town and Poopsmith Easter eggs were added.
*At the end of the toon, Homsar would still show scroll-over information while any other Easter eggs were in effect. This was also fixed when the King of Town and Poopsmith Easter eggs were added.

===Inside References===

*Pom Pom giving Homestar the [[golbol]] at the end is a reference to [[Strongest Man in the World]].
*Coach Z asks Strong Bad why he wasn't the alien, as he appeared to be in the toon's [[Jibblies 2 Teaser|teaser trailer]].

One of Henry's biggest annoyances was Monroe Ficus, his daughters' friend played by Jim J. Bullock who came and went as he pleased in the Rush home. The show ran from 1980 until 1983 on [[Wikipedia:American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], then was revived for syndication and ran from 1984 until 1986 when Knight's death put a halt to production.
*The Bubs Easter egg contains references to two running gags from ''[[Wikipedia:You Can't Do That On Television|You Can't Do That On Television]]'': people getting slimed when they say "I don't know", and Barth the Chef (played by Les Lye, who also plays Ross the stage manager who Bubs is dressed as) saying "I ''heard'' that!" when someone made a wisecrack about the meat he puts in his hamburgers.
*''[[Wikipedia:The Cult of Ray|The Cult of Ray]]'' is a 1996 album by [[Wikipedia:Frank Black|Frank Black]]. The illustration on the tarot card is the same as on the album's cover art.
*The alien species in the ''[[Wikipedia:Alien (film series)|Alien]]'' series does not have a specific name. Although frequently used by fans (like Strong Sad) and licensees, [[Wikipedia:Alien (creature in Alien franchise)#Name|the term "xenomorph"]] was simply used as a generic term in ''Aliens'' and was not intended to name the titular creatures.
*"The Clutch of [[Wikipedia:Glaive#Other uses|Glaives]]" card is a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Krull (film)|Krull]]''. In it, the hero possessed a weapon called "The Glaive" that looked identical to the picture on Strong Sad's tarot.
*Strong Bad's mention of "Hammacher Schlammacher's" in the Easter eggs refers to [[Wikipedia:Hammacher Schlemmer|Hammacher Schlemmer]], a chain of stores that sells high-end luxury gifts.
*''[[Wikipedia:Super Scope 6|Super Scope 6]]'' is an [[Nintendo#Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)|SNES]] game.
*Coach Z asking for the "Port Plus" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Pert Plus|Pert Plus]], a shampoo/conditioner combination which is meant to supplant the need for separate bottles of shampoo and conditioner.
*"Pumpkinshead 2 through 4" refers to the ''[[Wikipedia:Pumpkinhead (film)|Pumpkinhead]]'' series of films. The 3rd and 4th installments were aired on TV and subsequently released on DVD, so either Strong Bad is mistaken or this is yet another reference to using [[Strong Bad's Technology|outdated technology]].
*[[Wikipedia:Don King (boxing promoter)|Don King]] is a boxing promoter.
*King Dons are an alternate name for the Hostess snack cake [[Wikipedia: Ding Dong|Ding Dongs]]. The cakes are sold under this name in Canada and were previously sold under that name in certain areas of the United States so as not to create confusion with [[Wikipedia:Drake's|Drake Bakeries]]' Ring Dings.
*Homestar's line in The Poopsmith's Easter egg is a play on [[Wikipedia:Emmett Brown|Doc Brown]]'s final line in the movie ''[[Back to the Future]]'': "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads."
*Coach Z's line about a [[Showering|shower]] being the safest place for a pretty young thing is a reference to many horror movies, such as ''[[Wikipedia:Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]'', that have young women attacked while taking a shower.
*The music at the end resembles a musical passage from [[Wikipedia:Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]], an early 1990s arcade game that was eventually remade for the [[Nintendo|Super NES]].
*When Pom Pom gets the jibblies, the "mouth" of his Cacodemon costume pulses with electricity the same way the Cacodemon sprite in ''[[Doom]]'' was animated when it used its electricity projectile attack.

===Fast Forward===
*The [[YouTube:UxEGjtd11pE|dramatic music]] heard throughout the toon is heard again when the [[Carnivorous Undead Sheep]] approaches Homestar and Pom Pom in [[Most in the Graveyard]], the Halloween toon from the following year. It later reappears in [[Fan Costumes '09]], when a child dressed as Coach Z appears. It comes up again in [[The House That Gave Sucky Tricks]] when the Jibblies Painting is first seen, and yet once more in [[Action Cool News-oween Report]] whenever the [[Rocoulm]] shows up, and again in [[Halloween Hide & Seek]] when showing the painting to Strong Mad or Pom Pom.
*Coach Z uses Port Plus in [[hremail 3184]].
*A handful of references to this toon are made in [[The House That Gave Sucky Tricks]]:
**The Jibblies painting is dismissed as too outdated for inclusion in Strong Bad's haunted house.
**Homestar accuses Marzipan of reusing the costume she wore in this toon.
**Homestar thinks Strong Bad is wearing an elaborate version of the same costume he wore in this toon.
*The Jibblies Painting would later call Marzipan again, albeit not giving her the Jibblies, in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]].

==YouTube Version==
*The Homsar Easter egg is automatically enabled.
*Additionally, all of the ending Easter eggs play automatically, in this order:
**Marzipan
**Strong Bad
**Strong Sad
**Bubs
**Homestar Runner
**The Poopsmith
**The King of Town

ARTIFACT: "The Story Of Peasant Handsomeface And Trogdor"

DESCRIPTION: Several pages of crudely home-made paper, constructed mostly out of rags and lint.

ORIGIN: Recovered from the remains of a burninated thatch-roofed cottage. Papers seemed to
have escaped complete combustion due to being so moist.

DATE: Unknown.

TRANSCRIPT:

THE STORY OF PEASANT HANDSOMEFACE AND TROGDOR
BY ME, PEASANT HANDSOMEFACE

My story begins with my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Handsomeface, who produced me, Dave. I soon went
exclusively by my last name because it was so much better, and which certainly worked as good P.R.
for my, if we're being completely honest, extremely handsome face. Life was good until TROGD[TEXT

different "S". He had a single muscley arm whic[TEXT BURNT]umate Vs. He took one glance at me and

this document in my beautiful, beautiful tears and stuffed into my roof, I'm certain that my story
will FINALLY be told. If you are reading this, please, heed my words! TROGDOR may sound like fun
and games, but we handsome peasants have families! Handsome families! Why are WE to have our
homes destroyed for your entertainment? Who are YOU to [TEXT BURNT]

ANALYSIS OF TEXT: It's fine. It's probably nothing. We should all just ignore it.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*This page was {{prs|1614015259139887132|13|Jan|2023|alt=unveiled}} by the [[@StrongBadActual]] Twitter account on [[Trogday (holiday)|Trogday]] 2023, referred to as a lost piece of "Gopher-query Fiction", originally written for the [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]] Kickstarter campaign.
*{{w|Gopher (protocol)|Gopher protocol}} is an alternative Internet protocol that fell out of use by the end of the 1990s.

===Trivia===
*This story was written by [[Ryan North]].
**North [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1999933720/trogdor-the-board-game/posts/2252872 also was running a Kickstarter while the ''Trogdor!!'' campaign was active], so this may have been initially written as a cross-promotion for the campaigns.
*Despite the document being composed entirely out of plaintext, the page itself displays the document as an image, with no actual webpage text to be found.

===Remarks===
*Many of the periods are followed with two spaces. Although this was common practice when typing on a typewriter and persisted through early computer use, such extra spacing is no longer recommended on modern word processors.
*The type is set in {{w|Droid (typeface)|Droid Sans Mono}}.

===Goofs===
*"Having" is unnecessarily repeated in the line "having having soaked this document".

===Inside References===
*"The Museum of Trogdor" title is rendered in [[ASCII art]].
*The pages of the story are said to have survived due to their [[moist]]ness.
*Peasant Handsomeface describes Trogdor as having [[consummate V's]].
*The surname "Handsome[[Names Ending in -face|face]]" previously appeared in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]] with Strong Bad's self-insert character, [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Sir Hotbod Handsomeface|Sir Hotbod Handsomeface]].

Bleu Ninja: word choice/internal link

[[Image:donkis.png|thumb|"Poodonkis must be stopped!"]]
'''Poodonkis''' is [[Strong Mad]]'s stuffed [[Dinosaur|Dromiceiomimus]] that rests behind the [[Jibblies Painting]] in Strong Mad's closet. He has pink skin and yellow, purple and blue spots. He has [[Googly-eyed Objects|googly eyes]] and a tongue that sticks out. In the toon [[Jibblies 2]], Homestar wrongly accuses Poodonkis of giving everyone the [[jibblies]]. Poodonkis was later used in [[Baddest of the Bands]] as a prop for [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Limozeen]] contest entry.

''{{w|Dromiceiomimus}}'' (considered by some to be a species of ''{{w|Ornithomimus}}'') was an actual dinosaur species that lived during the late Cretaceous period in what is now Canada. Unlike Poodonkis, ''Dromiceiomimus'' had no teeth and has been shown to have feathers, even possessing large bird-like wings.

The specific pose in which Poodonkis stands is in reference to the Dromiceiomimus character from the webcomic ''[[Dinosaur Comics]]''.

Trogdor!! The Board Game

{{about|board game}} {{for-nothe|other uses|Trogdor (disambiguation)}}
'''Trogdor!! The Board Game''' (shortened to '''Trogdor!!''') is a [[board game]] featuring [[Trogdor]] rampaging across [[Peasantry]]. [[PAX East - 8 Apr 2018|Described as]] a "board game adaptation of [[TROGDOR!|the video game adaptation]] of [[TROGDOR (song)|the song]] from [[dragon|the cartoon]]", ''Trogdor!!'' is a cooperative puzzle area control game in which the players work together to burninate the countryside, [[peasants]], and [[thatched-roof cottages]]. Each player assumes the role of a [[The Three Keepers of Trogdor|Keeper of Trogdor]], making use of unique powers and items to guide Trogdor around the board to accomplish this goal while avoiding [[The Red and Blue Knights|knights]] and [[Mendelev and Dongolev|archers]]. The game is for one to six players, and play time is estimated at 30 minutes. The recommended age is 14+, and difficulty can vary based on player-chosen level layouts.

The game is made by [[the Brothers Chaps]] ([[Boardelectrix]]) and {{w|James Ernest}} ({{w|Cheapass Games}}). The box art, game tiles, character cards, and item cards feature art by Chris Schweizer. The rulebook was written with [http://lonesharkgames.com Loneshark Games]. The plastic miniatures were sculpted by [[Rick Van Velsor]], who had previously sculpted the [[Homestar Runner Figurines|collectible figurines]]. Production funds for the game were raised via a {{w|Kickstarter}} campaign in the summer of 2018, collecting over $1.4 million in pledges from over 20,000 supporters. Shipping to these backers began in early July 2019, followed by a retail version released in the fall of 2020 to [[store]]s. In spring 2022, the "[[#Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck|Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck]]" was released which added new gameplay elements to the board game.

==History==
The idea first came up after [[The Brothers Chaps]] developed an interest in playing more advanced board games with their kids and friends. Playing games like ''{{w|Ticket to Ride (board game)|Ticket to Ride}}'', ''{{w|Kill Doctor Lucky}}'', and {{w|legacy game}}s like ''{{w|Pandemic (board game)|Pandemic}} Season 1'' and ''{{w|Risk (game)|Risk Legacy}}'' prompted the idea of making their own game. Centered around Trogdor, the concept drew influence from many aspects of the character ([[TROGDOR!|computer game]], [[Trogdor (song)|song]], [[dragon|cartoon]], etc.) to design "a game of burnination, cooperation, and peasant-tation" (as described by Matt's daughter).

Initial prototypes were made with 3D-printed pieces and handmade cards, before the Chaps reached out to other collaborators. {{w|Patrick Rothfuss}} introduced them to {{w|James Ernest}} of {{w|Cheapass Games}}, who refined the gameplay systems. Illustrator Chris Schweizer drew the artwork for the cards, tiles, and packaging (additional drawings by [[Mike Chapman]], purportedly from Strong Bad, appear in the margins of the instruction booklet). The game pieces were sculpted by [[Rick Van Velsor]].

===Pre-release Promotion===
[[File:InstagramAllTheFilters.jpg|thumb|The first pre-release image of the game board]]
The game was first teased through several [[@strongbadactual (Instagram)|Instagram]] posts in 2017. On [[@strongbadactual (Instagram)#BZo5JCJh4ij|September 29]], a video of a [[thatched-roof cottage]] being 3D-printed was posted. On October 16, [[@strongbadactual (Instagram)#BaSiQY4B2I1|a video of]] a [[3D Character Variations|CG model]] of Trogdor designed for 3D-printing was shared. Heavily-filtered and obscured pictures of the prototype game board were shared on [[@strongbadactual_(Instagram)#BafkhHKhIxn|October 20]] and [[@strongbadactual_(Instagram)#BbnFK40hIHk|November 17]], with neither being clear enough to see well. A single action card was revealed on January 24, 2018, in [[The Deleteheads Download]] [[The Deleteheads Download#Vol. 1 (January 24, 2018)|Vol. 1]], purportedly leaked from the [[Boardelectrix]] offices.

[[File:TrogdorBoardGame.jpg|thumb|The first announcement, featuring the game board.]]
The game was officially announced on March 19, 2018, by both an [[Index Page]] [[Index Page Footer#March 19, 2018|footer message]] and [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2018#975808792146391046|a post on]] the [[@StrongBadActual]] Twitter account. Both promoted that a "janky prototype" of the game would be playable at {{w|PAX (event)|PAX East}} 2018, April 5–8. The Brothers Chaps also [[PAX East - 8 Apr 2018|held a panel at PAX East]], revealing more information about the game and mentioning that a "[[Kickcheater]]" was forthcoming.

An [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2018#1006762877397667841|advertisement video]] was posted on @StrongBadActual on June 12, 2018, announcing that the Kickstarter would launch in July. A dedicated [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Website|webpage]] was made for the game shortly thereafter on June 29. Dedicated Twitter and Facebook pages were created the same day; both [[social media]] accounts have since been closed.

Later [[Trogdor Live Playtest @ GenCon|playtests]] took place at [[Gen Con 2018]] on August 2{{-}}3 and on [[JoCo Cruise 2019]] in March.

===Kickstarter Campaign===
[[File:TwitterKickCheater.png|thumb|Pledge [[it out]]!]]
{{seealso|Trogdor!! The Board Game (video)}}
The {{w|Kickstarter}} [[kickstarter:projects/1999933720/trogdor-the-board-game|"Trogdor!! The Board Game" campaign]] was launched on Tuesday, July 17, 2018 with an initial goal of $75,000 {{--}} which was surpassed within the first few hours.

====Bingo====
[[File:TwitterBingoComplete.jpg|thumb|The completed bingo board.]]
A "Backer Burnination Bingo" was also completed, in which backers could submit their Trogdor fanstuff to complete a 3×3 bingo board:
* 20 works of Trogdor poetry
* 5 Trogdor or Peasant cosplays
* 20 ratty old Trogdor t-shirts
* 5 "Six-Sadded, Die" 3D prints
* 10 Trogdor tattoos
* 10 'Dagron' carvings

In the style of the board game, once the nine tiles were "burninated" an additional task was required to burninate the central cottage:

* 1 video of 25 people screaming 'TROGDOR!'

Completing the bingo would unlock a [[SBCG4AP Playthrough|live stream]] of [[Matt Chapman]] playing and voicing ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]'' episode [[Homestar Ruiner]]. On August 11, the playthrough was unlocked without fans having to complete the final task, in recognition of the tenth anniversary of ''SBCG4AP'''s release.

====Conclusion====
The campaign ended on Wednesday, August 15, 2018, with a total of $1,421,903 raised (nearly 20 times the goal) and 23,338 backers.

Preorders were available on [https://trogdor.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders Backerkit] from September 17 to October 31 (extended from October 15). Extra items, such as [[character]] [[Meeple Character Variations|meeples]], enamel pins, and shirts, were also available with preorders. A [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Rulebook EP|rulebook album]], consisting of thirteen songs explaining rules and mechanics of the game, was released April 15, 2019.

Shipping to backers began in early July 2019.

===Retail===
A "Retail Edition" of the game was released in Fall 2020, after the Kickstarter concluded. This version does not include the wooden meeples or "Stack 'Em To The Heavens!" minigame but is otherwise identical, and is sold in the [[myshopify:products/coming-in-fall-2020-trogdor-the-board-game-retail-version|Shopify]] [[store]] (formerly on the [[Teespring#Collectables|Spring]] storefront as well).

The prototype version of the games and rules is [[oldhr:printandplay|available as a free download]] in print-and-play format.

===Post-Release===
In Spring 2020, the "[[#Book of Haldo|Book of Haldo]]" beta rulebook was posted on the [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Website|website]] and {{prs|1249795875486007296|Apr|13|2020|alt=Twitter}}, giving the Archer a more complex ruleset.

In Spring 2022, the "[[#Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck|Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck]]" was released which adds new gameplay elements to the board game. A [[Expando Deck Promo|toon]] was made to explain and promote the expansion. In 2025, a printable version of the deck was added to the site.

==Instructions==
:''For complete instructions, see the [[trogdorboardgame:Trogdor_Rulebook.pdf|official rulebook]].''

===General===
The objective of the game, as outlined in [[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor's song]], is to:
*'''Burninate the [[Peasantry|countryside]]:''' flip all twenty-five tiles to the burninated side.
*'''Burninate the [[peasants]]:''' remove all peasants from the board, whether by chomping or burninating them.
*'''Burninate the [[thatched-roof cottages]]:''' set all three cottages aflame.
The game is won by meeting all three of these conditions. As a collaborative game, all players win or lose together.

===Setup===
:''See [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Items]] for complete descriptions of game components.''
[[File:gameGallery16.jpg|thumb|The map, cards, pieces, and Trog-Meter]]

====Game Board====
Place the twenty-five countryside tiles, unburninated side up, in a five-by-five grid. Players may use the board presets listed in the instruction booklet or come up with their own configurations. For easier play, place cottage and lake tiles on edges, and place the two tunnels far from each other. Once the board has been arranged, place one cottage and one peasant on each cottage tile. Place Trogdor on the center tile, and place the two knights and the archer on different tiles.

Place the Trog-Meter, action deck, movement deck, and Void card next to the board, with space for two discard piles. Place the Troghammer and the flame helmet in their spaces on the Trog-Meter. Fill the Trog-Meter with the remaining four peasants.

====Keepers of Trogdor====
Each player will assume the role of one of the Keepers of Trogdor, granting them special abilities as described on the card. These abilities do not need to be recharged, and may be used only on the player's turn unless specified otherwise. Deal each player a Keeper card, either chosen or at random.

====Items of Trogdor====
Each player will have an item that may be used to perform a special action as described on the card. These actions may be used only on the player's turn, and must be recharged by satisfying the condition on the card before they can be used again. A player's item may only be recharged on their turn, and may not be used more than once per turn, regardless of recharge (though it may be used and recharged, or recharged and used, in the same turn). The Disk of Healing does not recharge and may only be used once per game. Deal each player an item card, either chosen or at random.

====Action and Movement Deck====
Players will draw from the action deck on their turn to determine the actions they can take. Seven of the action cards are Troghammer cards. Remove these from the action deck and set them aside; they will be shuffled in the first time Trogdor takes damage. Shuffle the action deck and deal one action card to each player.

Movement cards will be used to specify the movements of peasants, knights, and the archer during the countryside phase. Shuffle the movement deck and place it where players can reach.

Any method may be used to determine who takes the first turn.

===Turns===
[[File:gameGallery12new.jpg|thumb|A turn being played with meeples]]
Each turn consists of two phases: one where the player controls Trogdor, and one where the countryside takes actions. Note that the countryside phase is still considered part of the turn of the player who just moved Trogdor.

====Phase 1: Trogdor's Actions====
Draw an action card. The player should now have two action cards in hand, and must choose one to play and one to "bank" for a future turn. Each action card should specify a number of action points (AP) and a special action or ability that Trogdor is allowed for that turn. Note that these abilities are optional and do not need to be used. If the player doesn't like either of their action cards, they may discard one to gain 5 AP with no special ability. Once an action card is chosen, it may be discarded.

If a Troghammer card is drawn:
*If the Troghammer is not yet in play, place it on the center tile.
*If the Troghammer is in play, draw a movement card, and, ignoring all other information on the card, move the Troghammer along the movement path (damaging Trogdor and repairing cottages as in a normal knight movement).
If at any time the Troghammer lands on a tile occupied by a knight or archer, draw another movement card and move it again. After a Troghammer card has been drawn, discard it and draw a new action card. Note that the Troghammer is a knight, and if he is in play, all rules applying to knights apply to him as well.

[[File:gameGallery11new.jpg|thumb|Trogdor burninating a cottage]]
Once an action card has been chosen for play, Trogdor may take actions{{--}}up to the number of action points specified on that card. These are the actions that players can do:
*'''Move''' Trogdor one tile to the north, south, east or west. Trogdor does not have diagonal movement or wraparound movement unless granted by a Keeper or an action card.
**Trogdor takes damage if he moves onto a knight's tile.
*'''Chomp''' a peasant on the tile Trogdor occupies. Remove the peasant from the board and add it to the Trog-Meter (Trogdor's health).
*'''Hide''' on a mountain tile, rendering Trogdor invulnerable to the knights and archer during the next phase. Set Trogdor on his side to represent his hidden status. This action will end the turn.
*'''Burrow''' from one tunnel tile to the other.
*'''Burninate''' a tile, a peasant, or an eligible cottage.
**'''Burninate a tile:''' Flip the tile Trogdor occupies to the burninated side. This does not affect any other pieces occupying the tile. Note that burninated tiles retain any special function they had previously.
***The lake tile must be surrounded by burninated tiles on all four sides before it may be burninated. (This condition does not wrap around if the lake is on the edge of the board.)
***Cards that let players burninate a tile other than the one where Trogdor is standing ignore the usual burninating restrictions; for example, the lake tile can be burninated regardless of the condition of its neighbors.
**'''Burninate a peasant''' on the tile Trogdor occupies: Crown the peasant with the flame helmet. Then draw a movement card, and, ignoring all other information on the card, move the peasant along the movement path, burninating each tile the peasant visits (including its starting tile). If the peasant reaches the end of its path without being saved by the lake (see below), it is removed from the board and placed in the Void, not on the Trog-Meter.
***If the peasant visits an eligible cottage, the cottage is ignited. If the peasant's path ends on a burninated cottage, the peasant is re-ignited with a fresh movement card.
***If the peasant visits another peasant, the other peasant is ignited{{--}}complete the current peasant's movement and then draw a fresh movement card for the other one.
***If the peasant visits the lake, the peasant is extinguished and the lake is left unharmed, regardless of its burnination status. (There is, therefore, no point in burninating a peasant who is already at the lake, as it will be extinguished instantly.)
**'''Burninate a cottage''' on the tile Trogdor occupies: In order to be ''eligible'', a cottage's tile must be burninated, as well as the eight tiles surrounding it. As with the lake, this condition does not wrap around. If the cottage is eligible, it may be burninated by flipping the piece to its burninated side.
***Note: cottages may be repaired by knights. If the tiles around a burninated cottage are repaired by peasants, the cottage is not automatically repaired, but it will make it more difficult to re-burninate if it does get repaired.
*'''Pass''' and forfeit any remaining action points.

====Phase 2: The Countryside's Movements====
It's time for the countryside to fight back. Draw a movement card. All peasants, knights, and the archer have ''wraparound movement'': if they move off the edge of the board on one side, they reappear on the opposite side.
*Observe the number of peasants (zero to four) in the top left of the card. Spawn peasants from the Trog-Meter until the number of peasants on the board is greater than or equal to the number of peasants on the card. Note that health lost due to peasant spawning is not considered damage, and thus Trogdor cannot be killed by peasant spawning. Peasants may be placed on any cottage tile, given the following rules:
**A cottage that is already occupied by a peasant cannot spawn peasants.
**A burninated cottage cannot spawn peasants.
**If there is no cottage that can spawn a peasant, or if the Trog-Meter is empty, no more peasants can be spawned. Peasants never spawn from the Void.
*Move all peasants on the board one tile in the direction specified on the arrow. If the arrow is green, peasants repair the tiles they step onto. Peasants do not repair cottages{{--}}if a peasant steps onto the tile of a burninated cottage, the peasant is burninated.
*Move the knights (including the Troghammer if he is in play) and the archer along the movement path.
**If a knight visits Trogdor's tile, Trogdor takes damage; move one peasant from the Trog-Meter to the Void. If a knight visits a burninated cottage, that cottage is repaired.
**At the end of the archer's movement, it fires arrows along its row (if it last moved horizontally) or column (if it last moved vertically). If Trogdor is in this row or column, he takes damage. Note that arrows do not touch the archer's tile; if the archer is on Trogdor's tile when he shoots, Trogdor is not harmed.
*Remember to shuffle the Troghammer cards into the action deck the first time Trogdor takes damage.

It is now the next player's turn. Turns move clockwise.

===Trogdor's Fiery Rage===
If Trogdor takes damage while the Trog-Meter is at zero, he dies{{--}}or rather, he "rage-quits". Trogdor's Fiery Rage is a special endgame phase in which Trogdor has one last chance to beat the game in a blaze of glory.

Draw five movement cards, and, ignoring all other information on the card, move Trogdor along each movement path sequentially. Trogdor gains wraparound movement for this phase. Including his starting tile, Trogdor lays waste to everything he touches: tiles and cottages are burninated regardless of eligibility, peasants are removed (without triggering peasant burnination), and knights are killed (although the archer lives). If, by the end of the five movements, the win conditions have been met, Trogdor has achieved a "[[total]] table-flip victory". If not, "Trogdor [retires] in defeat, to burninate another day."

Strong Bad encourages players to end each game, regardless of the outcome, with a rousing "[[Teen Girl Squad|IT'S OVER!]]"

===Book of Haldo===
[[File:haldo promo.png|thumb|A summary of the Book of Haldo rules]]
:''For complete instructions, see the [[trogdorboardgame:BookofHaldo_Rulebook.pdf|Book of Haldo Rulebook]].''
In a tweet from {{prs|1249795875486007296|13|Apr|2020|alt=April 13, 2020}}, Strong Bad introduced a new set of rules for Trogdor!! The Board Game that affects how arrows shot by the archers affect other game pieces.

If playing with Book of Haldo rules, the game board must be set up so two cottages are placed on any of the eight tiles surrounding the center.

The archers now shoot arrows in all four cardinal directions (north, south, east and west) from wherever the archers land at the end of their movement path. Be sure to track the path of each arrow, as it will impact tiles and game pieces in new and chaotic ways. If more than one element occupies a tile touched by an arrow, resolve in the order listed below.
#'''Flaming cottage:''' The arrow flies through the cottage and catches fire, making it a flaming arrow. Flaming arrows burninate every tile they pass through (including the lake), in addition to the effects described below.
#'''Peasant:''' The peasant is shot and rendered "immobilized". Arrowed peasants do not move and do not count in the peasant spawning tally. However, Trogdor can{{--}}and must in order to win{{--}}still eat these peasants. Arrow path ends.
##If the arrow is flaming, the peasant is burninated instead.
#'''Tunnel:''' The arrow flies into the tunnel and out the other end, continuing in its original direction. Trogdor is hit by the arrow if he is standing on the "out" tunnel, but not if he is standing on the "in" tunnel.
#'''Knight:''' The shot is deflected in the direction of the peasant movement on the movement card. The arrow continues flying until it hits something or reaches the edge of the board. If the arrow hits a second knight, the arrow is deflected again in the original direction that the archers shot it.
#'''Unburninated cottage:''' The cottage blocks the shot. If Trogdor is on the same tile as the cottage, he hides behind the cottage and does not take any damage. Arrow path ends.
##If the arrow is flaming and the cottage is eligible, the cottage is burninated.
#'''Troghammer:''' He protects himself by performing a spin attack, damaging Trogdor if he is on any of the eight adjacent tiles (but not the tile on which the Troghammer stands). The spin attack does not affect peasants, knights, or archers, and does not wrap around. Arrow path ends.
#'''Trogdor:''' Trogdor is arrowed as normal.

If the archers end their movement path on the same tile that Trogdor occupies, Trogdor sets all four arrows on fire before they are shot.

=== Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck ===
[[File:expando promo.png|thumb|"It's like new cards that they didn't think of the first time they made the game."]]
{{seealso|Trogdor!! The Board Game Items#Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck}}
The deck includes 46 cards, Action and Emergency cards intended to mix with the existing Action deck and Spell Cards to form a new deck for play.
*21 new Action Cards
*10 Emergency Cards
*10 Spell Cards
*2 Rule Cards
*3 additional Troghammer Cards

==Stack 'Em to the Heavens==
[[File:StackEmToTheHeavens.png|thumb|"Now you can play a game called Stack 'Em to the Heavens!"]]
'''Stack 'Em to the [[Heaven]]s''' is a competitive meeple-stacking minigame. A small white drawstring canvas bag comes free inside every board game box. The bag has an image of Marshie on fire, with the text "STACK EM TO THE HEAVENS!" and the rules on it. According to the Kickstarter page, the bag is intended to be used for keeping meeples in, so the game can be played anywhere. The title (and Marshie's presence on the bag and in the commercial) is a reference to Marshie's song in [[Malloween Commercial]], when advertising that [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows|Fluffy Puff Malloweens]] fit on top of each other.

Start by putting the peasant, knight, and Troghammer meeples in a bag, shake the bag, and roll the meeples onto a surface. The two players take turns stacking meeples on top of each other. Meeples that land face-up or on their edge are stacked upright and can be rotated however the player chooses, and face-down meeples are stacked flat. The objective is to make the tower as precarious as possible, making the other player topple the stack down, or to force the other player into placing a third consecutive peasant. If all the meeples are successfully stacked, the game ends in a draw.

Originally, there was an animated GIF on the board game's Kickstarter page, depicting meeples being stacked. The GIF's caption jokingly mentioned that the reader could make up a minigame called "Stack Em To The Heavens". On July 17th, the day the Kickstarter campaign began, the second stretch goal was announced. It was stated that upon reaching $250,000, that joke would be turned into a real game, and a companion soundboard website would be created for the board game. The goal was achieved the next day. On August 15, 2018, [[Puppet Character Variations#Puppet Strong Bad|Puppet Strong Bad]], [[Mike Chapman]], and [[Lucky Yates]] played the game live during the [[Final Hours Playthrough]]. According to Strong Bad, the rules were made up the day before in five minutes. At this point, the archer was also included. On October 25, 2018, a [[Stack 'Em to the Heavens!|commercial]] was released on [[YouTube]].

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*Several cards and mechanics were altered or replaced during the pre-production of the game.
**Items of Trogdor:
***"That Dog Tennis Ball Thing, 'cept with Fireballs" was originally called "Ball of Fire".
***"Pauldrons of [[Greg]]" had the ability to prevent Trogdor from taking one damage, recharging when Trogdor devours a peasant. In the final game, "Shield of Cumberdale" and "Super Trinket" provide similar functions, albeit from only one source of damage each.
***"Bones of Luckman" gave the player an extra Action point. This was replaced by "Two Gross Beans", which gives the player ''two'' additional AP.
**Action cards:
***"High Energy" was originally called "Trog-Burst", and before that, "Extra Actions".
***"Jhonka Help" originally provided 6 action points, and one of those could be used to eat a peasant on any tile on Trogdor's turn. The final card instead provides 5, but gives the peasant chomp for free.
***Peasants could originally only be eaten on burninated tiles.
***The original circumstances for summoning the Troghammer were different: Troghammer cards are always in the deck, and the Troghammer is summoned after three are drawn.
*[[Naked Ned]] is visible on one of the forest tiles, {{prs|1248449601365041152|9|Apr|2020|alt=hiding behind a tree}}.

A '''secret page''' is a page from [[homestarrunner.com]] that is either not linked to from anywhere or has been removed from the site altogether.

'''Note that sometimes some of the pages don't work. Just try again at a later date.'''

== Toons ==

These are [[Toons|toons]] or animations that are not advertised from the site. Some of them are incomplete.

This cartoon, which is the first ever full-length Homestar Runner toon made, now has been removed from the site for unknown reasons. It is included in [[Everything Else, Volume 2]].|| [[Mirror:marshmallow2.html|Watch the toon]] (mirror) [[Mirror:marshmallow2.swf|View the Flash file]] (mirror)

| [[Image:jumpingjackcontest.png|100px]] || '''[[A Jumping Jack Contest]]''' || Strong Bad, [[Strong Sad]], Homestar Runner, Pom Pom, and [[Bubs]] enter a jumping jack contest. The person who continually jumps jacks for the longest wins. Strong Bad cheats, of course. Based loosely on the Homestar Runner book, it has since been taken off the site for unknown reasons. [[Strong Libs]] are available for play during the loading time. It is included in [[Everything Else, Volume 2]]. || [[Mirror:jumpinjacks2.html|Watch the toon]] (mirror) [[Mirror:jumpinjacks2.swf|View the Flash file]] (mirror)

| [[Image:If I Ran the Camera.PNG|100px]] || '''[[If I Ran the Camera]]''' || A poem written by [[Karen Wagner]] as a father's day present to [[Don and Harriet Chapman|Don Chapman (Grandpa)]]. It was on the site for a short period of time but soon taken down once [[The Brothers Chaps]] realized that fans had found it. It features a [[little girl]] named Astrid Renee and [[Don and Harriet Chapman|Grandpa Chapman]]. || [[Mirror:ifiranthecamera.html|Watch the toon]] (mirror) [[Mirror:ifiranthecamera.swf|View the Flash file]] (mirror)
|-
| [[Image:Superbrave.jpg|100px]] || '''[[Super Brave!!]]''' || A [[homestarrunner.com]] update for February 21, 2003. It featured a class full of kids who had each drawn a picture of Homestar Runner. You could move the mouse over the kids and see Homestar-esque drawings of each of them that were eventually used for characters appearing during the karaoke songs on strongbad_email.exe DVD #2. On February 24, the update was renamed to "these kids rule". || [[Mirror:superbrave.swf|View the Flash file]] (mirror) [[Mirror:thesekidsrule.swf|View the Flash file]] (mirror)

Three messages from the members of Limozeen are provided. The recipient of the E-Card would be sent an email with the URL of the card that was prepared for them. Although the feature itself has been removed from the site, going to the URL will show the loading screen. The font used for "Loading..." is modeled after the [[Wikipedia:Iron Maiden (band)|Iron Maiden]] logo.

| [[Image:crazy cartoon cheat trophies.PNG|100px]] || '''[[Crazy Cartoon]]''' || The Powered by The Cheat segment of the Strong Bad Email [[crazy cartoon]] as its own toon. It was removed in the December 31, 2020 refresh with the Powered by The Cheat category. Although it is not seen anywhere else, a clip of it is seen in the intro to [[Everything Else, Volume 1]] despite it not appearing on the disc. || [[OldHR:crazycartoon.html|Watch the toon]] [[OldHR:crazycartoon.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:Happy T.png|100px]] || '''[[Happy T!]]''' || A sign which says "Happy T!" The letters, when clicked on, have voiceovers of the main characters saying things relating to the title. It features an Easter egg with Homsar, accessed by clicking on a small spot on the lower right hand corner of the screen. || [[OldHR:happyt.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:TruckaSideways.png|100px]] || '''[[Field Day Intro]]''' || This toon was released onto the site but was never listed. It is an Easter egg on [[Everything Else Volume 3]].

|-
| [[Image:sbemail100.png|100px]] || '''[[Sbemail 100 Fakeout]]''' || This toon was never deliberately linked to at any time. This secret page was designed to be discovered by people trying to find the [[flashback|100th]] [[Strong Bad Email]] before it was released. This originally occurred by typing <tt>homestarrunner.com/sbemail100.html</tt>, with the actual email eventually being located at <tt>homestarrunner.com/sbemailahundred.html</tt>. || [[HR:sbemail100|Watch the toon]] [[OldHR:100th_email.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:puppetdween.png|100px]] || '''[[Homestar and the Nice Present]]''' || A toon that was part of [[Decemberween in July]] involving [[Puppet Character Variations|Puppet Homestar Runner]] getting a walking toy [[Santaman]]. Despite the 3 other main toons seen in it carrying over, it was removed in the December 31, 2020 refresh for unknown reasons. It is included on [[Everything Else, Volume 1]] and [[Everything Else, Volume 2]]. || [[OldHR:dween_puppet1.html|Watch the toon]] [[OldHR:dween_puppet1.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:Little_Girl.jpg|100px]] || '''[[Homestar vs. Little Girl]]''' || A easter egg that was part of [[Decemberween in July]] that can be accessed by clicking the green light at the top of the screen directly above the "w" in "Decemberween". Despite [[Seasonal Sweaters]] carrying over, it was removed in the December 31, 2020 refresh for unknown reasons. It is included on [[Everything Else, Volume 1]] and [[Everything Else, Volume 2]] retaining its easter egg status as part of the Decemberween in July menu. || [[OldHR:dween_puppet2.html|Watch the toon]] [[OldHR:dween_puppet2.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:Missing Lappy.PNG|100px]] || '''[[Lappynapped!]]''' || This toon was released between [[cliffhangers]] and [[retirement]] as part of the [[Lappy 486#Lappy-napping|Lappy-napping saga]], but it was never listed on the Toons menu. It was only available through the [[Main Page Messages|"What's New" bubble]]. || [[OldHR:lappynapped.html|Watch the toon]] [[OldHR:lappynapped.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:Page Load Error.png|100px]] || '''[[Sbemail 200 Fakeout]]''' || Similar to the above example, trying to access [[email thunder|email 200]] by typing in <tt>homestarrunner.com/sbemail200.html</tt> instead of <tt>homestarrunner.com/sbemailtwohundred.html</tt> linked here. || [[HR:sbemail200|Watch the toon]] [[OldHR:sbemail200.swf|View the Flash file]]

|[[Image:BotBTrailer.PNG|100px]] || '''[[Baddest Of The Bands Promo Spot]]''' || Promotional toon made for [[Baddest of the Bands]]. ||[[OldHR:botb.html|Watch the toon]] [[OldHR:botb_f8.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:oldmovie.png|100px]] || '''[[Kick the Can]]''' || This appears to be the very first Kick the Can short made and is found on its own separate page. During this toon, a countdown and some titles are shown, followed by [[The Homestar Runner]] kicking a can. His head pops off, and he kicks the can up into his body. His head lands on his body, and then his legs bend backwards. It's possible that this could have been on the website before all the other variations were made, and was probably linked to in [[Oldest Toons Menu]]. || [[OldHR:oldmovie.html|Watch the toon]] [[OldHR:oldmovie.swf|View the Flash File]]
|-
| [[File:SlashSlashSlash.png|100px]] || '''Slash slash slash!''' || During a [[Screenland - 24 Apr 2017|video interview]], the URL "homestarrunner.com/slash/slash" can be seen on a whiteboard. Going to that URL reveals a secret video of [[Matt Chapman]] trying different voices for [[Dijjery Doo]]. || [[OldHR:slash/slash|Watch the toon]] [[youtube:iQnxKmLDIH8|View the YouTube version]]
|-
| [[File:FlashdayWebsite.png|100px]] || '''[[Happy Flashday]]''' || A toon celebrating the 10th birthday of Flash 5.

|-
| [[Image:Needlepoint.png|100px]] || '''[[Needlepernt]]''' || A seemingly unfinished small cartoon of Homestar and Strong Bad on a sewn picture, possibly a reference to the one scene in [[property of ones]]. Its picture features Strong Bad standing in [[the Field]]. Homestar Runner walks up in the right, stops next to Strong Bad and opens his mouth. The text "Get Rid of a Few Things!" appears below. A similar scene briefly appears in [[From the Vault]]. Featured on the [[index page]] under the "[[Index Page Messages#Old Crap Corner|old crap corner]]" on February 1, 2021.|| [[HR:needlepoint|Watch the toon]] [[OldHR:needlepoint.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:Easter egg toon.png|100px]] || '''[[Eggs (toon)|Eggs]]''' || Once linked through a [[main page message]] reading "[[from work|email]] soon", and later featured on the [[Old Crap Corner]], this unfinished special features Easter [[Eggs]] designed after Homestar, Marzipan, Pom Pom, and Strong Bad. It was later featured on the [[index page]]'s [[Index Page Messages#Old Crap Corner|Old Crap Corner]] on March 29, 2021. || [[HR:eggs|Watch the toon]] [[OldHR:eggs.swf|View the Flash file]]
|- bgcolor=#CCCCCC
! colspan=4 | Alternate versions of toons
|-
| [[Image:Secret Answering Machine.PNG|100px]] || '''Marzipan's Answering Machine''' || This is just [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 1.0]], possibly before more versions were planned. It has a few minor differences from the current version. The font is a little different for both the number and the back link, it doesn't have the archive menu, and the Back button links to the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games Menu]]. || [[OldHR:answer.html|Watch the toon]] [[OldHR:answer.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| || '''[[The King of Town DVD Commentary#Secret Commentary|The King of Town DVD Secret Commentary]]''' || This is a secret version of [[The King of Town DVD Commentary|Strong Bad's Commentary]] for [[The King of Town DVD]] without any visuals. It is identical to the normal version except for the end, where it explains why Strong Bad did the commentary. || [[OldHR:sb_kingcomment.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:KOTDvdOld.PNG|100px]] || '''Alternate [[The King of Town DVD Old Version]]''' || This is a slight variation of the [[The King of Town DVD Old Version|Old Version]] of [[The King of Town DVD]]. It does not contain a black border like the official Flash file, and lacks the "again" and "back" links at the end, as well as the Easter egg. When the animation is finished, the page directs to the King of Town DVD menu. || [[OldHR:kingoftown.swf|View the Flash File]]
|-
| [[Image:Yellodellowdeleted.png|100px]] || '''[[In Search of the Yello Dello Deleted Scenes#Secret Deleted Scene|Secret Yello Dello Deleted Scene]]''' || This is the scene from the [[In Search of the Yello Dello]] DVD where Strong Bad is talking with Marzipan, but it has a strange commentary at the beginning. Aside from not actually appearing on the deleted scenes menu, it differs from the other deleted scenes in several other ways, most notably that it's not really a "deleted" scene, as it is actually a scene from the toon itself. Additionally, its intro has a different font, background, and watch button from the others, and no title text. At the end, it fades to black and then loads the DVD menu, instead of providing "Back" and "Again" buttons as the others do. || [[OldHR:dellocut_2.html|Watch the toon]] [[OldHR:dellocut_2.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:homestarloween.PNG|100px]] || '''Alternate [[Homestarloween Party]]''' || Aside from lacking the NavBar, this toon is identical to [[Homestarloween Party]]. || [[OldHR:halloween3.html|Watch the toon]]
|-
| || '''halloween2''' || This page appears to be related to [[Homestarloween Party]]. The following text is contained in the page source: <blockquote> ''Halloween Episode Written by Matt, Mike, and Craig Voices by Matt and Melissa Animation by Mike and Matt CORPORATE ROCK STILL SUCKS Homestar (Kurt Cobain) Strong sad (gorbachev) king of town (cap'n crunch) marzipan (jeanie) pom pom (stay-puft) coach z (flavor flav) bubs (rerun) poopsmith (tron) the cheat (garfield)'' </blockquote> || [[OldHR:halloween2.html|View the page]]
|-
| || '''radish3''' || A blank page that appears to be related to [[The Reddest Radish]]. The page source contains the word "[[contest]]" repeatedly. || [[OldHR:radish3.html|View the page]]
|-
| [[Image:sbemail46.PNG|100px]] || '''Old "[[your friends]]"''' || This is an alternate version of the email [[your friends]]. Differences: Strong Bad's mouth isn't visible in the reflection when he sings the email intro. The announcer on the TV [[Strong Mad]] is watching doesn't say "Some type of TV show." The background music stops at [[Strong Sad]]'s scene. Some extra buzz saw blades and a bottle of hot sauce behind Strong Bad are gone in [[Marzipan]]'s scene. The Cheat doesn't yell at Strong Bad, and Pom Pom does one less turn. Strong Bad isn't holding a bottle of hot sauce in [[Homsar]]'s scene. The [[font]] used in the Hot Fries packaging is Ashbury instead of Aurora BdCn BT. At the end, Strong Bad says the word "fans" a little differently. This version was accidentally made publicly available in place of the normal version following the [[Post-Flash Site Update]] before a Twitter user {{prs|1345077569629126662|01|Jan|2021|alt=pointed out the mistake in 2021}}.
|| [[OldHR:sbemail46.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:Unfinished Interview.PNG|100px]] || '''Metro.pop Interview''' || An unfinished version of the short [[The Interview]]. Among other differences between it and the final, Strong Bad and Homestar talk without moving their mouths in the second half, Homestar doesn't take out his shopping list or his pen and notebook, Strong Sad doesn't say "En guarde?", and Strong Bad's last line is "Thank you for your time" as opposed to "Get out of my face". Once the cartoon is over, it repeats instead of having an ending screen like all the other Toons. || [[OldHR:interview2.html|Watch the toon]] [[OldHR:interview2.swf|View the Flash file]]

One features Marzipan on a pink flower silhouette on a white shirt and the other has inverted colors. Both have the text ''*MARZIPAN*'' written below her in purple text. In front of both shirts is the text ''click to change'', clicking it changes the shirt to a version with smaller text, then no text, and then back to normal. Below the shirts is the text:
<blockquote>''Which do you like best? I think we should get babydolls, mediums, and spaghetti-strap tanktops. and possibly a couple larges or x-larges for fruity guys.''</blockquote>

'''Ryan North''' is a writer and comic author. As a fellow internet creator, he became "email friends" with [[the Brothers Chaps]] in the 2000s.{{ref|1}}

North penned [[Museum of Trogdor|"The Story of Peasant Handsomeface and Trogdor"]], a short story originally written for the ''[[Trogdor!! The Board Game]]'' Kickstarter.{{ref|2}} He also helped playtest the board game.{{ref|3}}

== ''Dinosaur Comics'' ==
{{seealso|Webcomic Sightings#Dinosaur Comics|Webcomic Sightings § Dinosaur Comics}}

Ryan North has been writing the webcomic ''{{w|Dinosaur Comics}}'' since 2003. The comic features the same layout (six panels featuring a T-Rex, Utahraptor and Dromiceiomimus on simplistic backgrounds) for nearly every strip, with only the dialogue changing day by day. In a 2006 interview, [[Matt Chapman]] listed the webcomic as a favorite that the brothers read regularly.{{ref|4}}

[[Jibblies 2]], the [[2007]] [[Halloween]] toon, introduced [[Strong Mad]]'s stuffed [[Dinosaurs|dromiceiomimus]] doll [[Poodonkis]]. The plush toy's pose is based on the ''Dinosaur Comics'' character.{{ref|5}} North acknowledged this "sweet cameo" on his site,{{ref|6}} joking that, since he had previously referenced ''[[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]'' in ''Dinosaur Comics'',{{ref|7}} "our websites are married now".

North was a guest at [[ROFLCon - 26 Apr 2008|ROFLCon 2008]], as were the Brothers Chaps (both were panelists, though they were not on the same panels). At the convention, an {{w|OLPC XO}} laptop was signed by many figures in attendance including North and the Chaps; this laptop model would go on to inspire [[Homestar Runner]]'s [[Happy 8600]].

Fourth Wall Breaks

Bleu Ninja — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 21:46:02 GMT

Bleu Ninja: /* DVDs */ mash. sub-bullets.

[[Image:Literal4thwallbreak.PNG|thumb|"Hope you got the extended warranty."]]

Sometimes, the [[characters]] '''break the [[Wikipedia:Fourth wall|fourth wall]]''' by displaying awareness that they are in an Internet cartoon.

Fourth wall breakages are common in [[Strong Bad Email]]s; Strong Bad often addresses the viewers, and references to his "[[email show]]" are made. Some of these supposed "fourth wall breaks" may be explained by assuming that Strong Bad has a live [[Wikipedia:webcam|webcam]] show in which he answers emails, or that he is talking to an imaginary audience, but in other instances the characters actually refer to the fact that they are in cartoons, which is a real fourth wall break. Excluding Strong Bad Emails that involve a character addressing the viewers, here is a list of fourth wall breakages in the toons.

== Big Toons ==
*[[The King of Town DVD Commentary]] {{--}} Strong Bad frequently refers to the "cartoon" and other creative elements of the site from an out-of-universe perspective.
*[[In Search of the Yello Dello]] {{--}} The TV announcer says that [[the Yello Dello]] is "the most rare and beautiful bird in this entire cartoon."
*[[Where's The Cheat?]] {{--}} While reassuring Strong Mad, Strong Bad says "Don't worry, big guy. We'll cut to a montage. I mean, find [[The Cheat]]."
*[[Shopping For Danger]] {{--}}
**[[Silent Rip]] informs [[Gunhaver]] that the "[[Cheat Commandos Headquarters]] playset is under attack".
**At the end, Gunhaver screams, "Next episode, [[Blue Laser]]! Next episode!"
*[[Weclome Back]] {{--}}
**All of the characters punch in on a time clock after returning from vacation, possibly implying that they work in a studio.
**Marzipan wonders whether anyone has been "taking care of the website".
**Homestar Runner says, "It's time to get this www-dot-show back on the road-dot-com."
*[[Cheat Commandos: Two Part Episode: Part 1]] {{--}}
**As the [[Green Helmets]] take him away, Gunhaver remarks, "At least let a Cheat Commanding Officer be escorted out by someone who isn't available in a discount three pack."
**Silent Rip proclaims that it's impossible to break into the "Headquarters Playset".
**Gunhaver commands Silent Rip and [[Crackotage]], "be continued!"
*[[Cheat Commandos: Two Part Episode: Part 2]] {{--}}
**Subtlefuge says that each [[Toppleganger]] is "sold separately with rifle and gear."
**The Headquarters Playset is revealed to have a battery compartment and electronic lights and sounds.

*[[No Hands On Deck!]] {{--}} Homestar says, "I'd better get back to work if I'm gonna build a deck in this cartoon!"
*[[One Two, One Two]] {{--}} [[Homsar]]'s [[bowler hat]] visibly bounces off the edge of the screen when he is singing.
*[[The Next Epi-Snowed]] {{--}} [[Agent Chimendez]] explains that he is an "expanded universe character".
*[[Loading Screens]] {{--}}

**Coach Z in particular describes loading screens as a "looping animation".
*[[Where My Hat is At? (toon)]] {{--}} Homestar, annoyed at [[The Umpire]] for telling him information he already knew, tells him "we sorta established that in the first scene."
*[[The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar]] {{--}} Puppet Homestar breaks the fourth wall by showing disgust over Puppet Strong Sad's narrated line "He goed and goed until he finally went". Later, he describes [[Doreauxgard]] and [[Marshie]] as being "the only puppets left".
*[[Flash is Dead!]] {{--}} The entire cartoon is about how [[Flash]], the real-world software used to create and display [[homestarrunner.com]], is dying. [[Strong Bad]] refers to Flash as "what we breathe" and "the thing what creates us all". In addition, two chunks of Flash Authoring Interface fall from the sky.

== Holiday Toons ==

*[[old comics]] {{--}} Strong Bad says that he and Homestar were used in a comic that was printed at least 60 years earlier. Since they are [[Ages of Characters|obviously not that old]], he may be pointing out the fact that he and Homestar are unaging cartoon characters.

The Informants

Bleu Ninja — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 02:51:59 GMT

Bleu Ninja: Adjust structure.

[[Image:TheInformant.PNG|thumb|right|"Looking for information?"]]
The '''Informants''' (played by [[Strong Sad]]) are four brothers who live around the world, providing information to [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] to help him solve the theft of [[Professor Experimento]]'s launch codes and [[Sultry Buttons]]'s rash of jewel thefts.

Though they appear identical, each one has a different occupation and a different accent:
*Stinky the Peeve, in Venice, is a psychic who can discover things about objects and their owners by touching them.
*Cecil VanGough is a respected art critic and art collector in Ireland.
*The "Moving Man" in Cairo works as a professional {{w|Fence (criminal)|fence}}.
*The brother in Paris is a psychological profiler who goes unnamed.

== Fun Facts ==
*[[Perducci]] disguises himself and pretends to be a fifth brother named "Stooley Ratweasel" in [[Japan|Tokyo]].
*[[Strong Bad]]'s credits for ''Dangeresque 3'' insultingly credit the role of "buncha dopey informants" to "El [[Dump]]o the Wide".

How do you type with boxing gloves on?

Bleu Ninja — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 01:16:47 GMT

Bleu Ninja: Add another subhead.

[[Image:compy 386 side view.png|thumb|I don't see any fingers; do ''you'' see any fingers?]]

''From [[Run Devil Run Interview|a 2003 interview with ''Run Devil Run'']]:''
<blockquote>
'''C. NEUTRON:''' What are [Strong Bad Emails] like on the whole? 
'''[[MATT CHAPMAN]]:''' There's a lot of repetition. People can't seem to get over how Strong Bad types with boxing gloves on. 
'''[[MIKE CHAPMAN]]:''' For the most part they are not very interesting. About 80% of them ask how he can type so fast with boxing gloves on.
</blockquote>

'''"How do you type with boxing gloves on?"''' and its variants are questions that [[Strong Bad]] is asked on a regular basis in his [[Strong Bad Email|emails]]. The exasperation caused by this repetition has become a [[running gag]]: Strong Bad hates the question, and it is often [[DELETED]].

This running gag extends to variations of Strong Bad. [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]] is frequently asked the similar question, "How do you manage the [[Supra Modern Telegram|telegramophone]] whilst wearing gentleman's sport gloves?" In the email [[high school]], [[Teenage Character Variations#Teenage Strong Bad|Teenage Strong Bad]] plays the keyboard in [[The Homestar Runner Mysfit-steries]], even though he doesn't have fingers.

[[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] creative duo [[The Brothers Chaps]] have addressed this question out-of-[[Homestar Runner universe|universe]] several times. In [[interviews and public appearances|interviews and presentations]] {{--}} such as in [[Run Devil Run Interview|2003]], [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005#Parents|2005]], and [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|never be addressed in a Strong Bad Email]] {{--}} they expressed consternation at how frequently fans asked this question and emphasized that [[Strong Bad Email#Email selection|such emails would not be selected]] for a toon (albeit joking in [[video games#Commentary Transcript|the DVD commentary]] for the email [[video games]] that they could potentially come up with a good answer to the question). During public appearances in [[Alamo Drafthouse - 10 Jun 2005|2005]], [[ROFLCon - 26 Apr 2008|2008]], and [[PAX East - 8 Apr 2018#How does Strong Bad type with boxing gloves?|2018]], [[Matt Chapman]] (in character as Strong Bad) jokingly threatened fans who asked how he typed with boxing gloves.
__NOTOC__
== Strong Bad's typing method ==
[[Image:Typing with gloves on.PNG|thumb|Clickety clack clack]]
From what little that has been seen, it seems Strong Bad merely presses his gloved hands upon the keyboard just as any typist would, and the appropriate keys are pressed and depressed without interference. Interestingly, [[dullard]] shows that Strong Bad types with his thumbs facing up, as if he were touching the keys with the bottoms of his fists. He is similarly shown to be able to play a piano in [[rock opera]].

Indeed, Strong Bad is capable of typing precisely by striking the keyboard with any part of his body. In [[sisters]], he types "head—hit—keyboard" by striking the keyboard with his head, and in [[funny]], he types "WOAH!! I CAN TYPE WITH ONE FOOT!" by hitting the keyboard with his foot. In [[tape-leg]] and [[crying]] he is able to type complete sentences with only one hand. [[fingers|At one point]], Strong Bad tried using prosthetic fingers (made of various items such as [[prawns]] and action figure limbs) which had a disastrous effect on his typing skills. However, in [[morning routine]], he was able to type successfully with a [[Potate]] bag covering his right hand.

An [[Easter egg]] in [[Hremail 7]] showed the first time Strong Bad had to type, asking himself this question. [[The Cheat]] cuts him off with some "smart thinking", suggesting that he is responsible for coming up with Strong Bad's mysterious typing method.

Bronco Trolleys

Bleu Ninja — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 01:06:12 GMT

Bleu Ninja: Minor adjustments to text. Add an image.

{{aoldgamenav|broncotrolleys}}

[[Image:bronco t.PNG|thumb|right|220px|A bronco on the trolley]]

'''Bronco Trolleys''' is a game that challenges the player to make snacks for {{Film|Homestar Runner}}. These curious snacks are [[Concoctions|concocted]] from [[Wikipedia:Triscuit|Triscuits]], peanut butter, and an orange slice. If the player wins, Homestar becomes really fat; if the player loses, Homestar is a very skinny athlete.

'''Date:''' October 29, 2000, or earlier

'''Page Title:''' Bronco Trolleys!!

== Instructions ==
<blockquote>A Bronco Trolley is Homestar Runner's favorite after-school snack. It is made by spreading peanut butter on a Triscuit, and topping it with a slice of orange. Help him make as many Bronco Trolleys as possible by clicking on the Triscuit, the peanut butter, and then the orange. Work fast; you've only got 30 seconds.</blockquote>

== Game Over screens ==
[[Image:Fat Homestar.gif|thumb|You done good!]]
* '''Low score''' (less than 10 points) {{--}} ''{Homestar is [[emaciated]] and looks concerned}'' "That's not a very good score. Homestar Runner is wasting away to almost nothing. Do better!"
* '''Medium score''' (10 to 15 points) {{--}} ''{Homestar looks normal}'' "That was pretty good. If you try harder, you'll probably do better. Look at him standing there. He needs more food!"
* '''High score''' (more than 15 points) {{--}} ''{Homestar is fat and looks satisfied}'' "Wow! You done good! Homestar looks like he appreciated your help. I wonder if he could eat a few more."

== Fun Facts ==
[[File:TwitterMarioPaintThursday4.png|thumb|#bronctro [[b/w]] melonade]]
===Trivia===
*The concept for the "bronco trolley" snack came to [[Mike Chapman]] in a dream, around the time [[homestarrunner.com|the site]] launched in January [[2000]]. He explained this in [[l33t Interview|a mid-2001 interview]], remarking that he had only recently tried eating one: "I was missing out! Thems are good!"

===Remarks===
*The orange slices include [[Food Still In Peel or Package|the usually discarded peel.]]

===Glitches===
[[Image:BT999.png|thumb|Super high score!]]
*Pressing Tab+Enter can cheat the game and make well over a hundred Bronco Trolleys.
**Holding down the Enter key on the orange slice with the right timing will put the score through the roof, making it possible to get over 800 Trolleys (but the third digit is not fully visible).
**Quickly and repeatedly pressing Enter on the peanut butter in order to bring up maximum oranges, then pressing Enter repeatedly on one of the oranges, causes the count to go so fast that the timer apparently freezes. This can result in scoring infinite points. After the finish, letting go shows the timer as higher than 30.
**There is a problem with this trick on some browsers; Tab can easily go to the [[Navbar]] on the bottom of the screen or to the URL bar on the browser, and pressing Enter causes the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons menu]] to come up or the page to refresh, canceling the game.
*Another simple cheat is to click on the same item repeatedly, causing the next item to duplicate.
**Pressing Tab and both Enter keys at the same time also duplicates whatever is next.
*Clicking and holding a food and dragging the mouse away from it will not collect it.

===Fast Forward===
*A ''[[Mario Paint]]'' animation featuring a Bronco Trolley and some [[melonade]] was {{postref|966780528883007488|22|Feb|2018|posted=1}}, as a part of an ongoing [[Mario Paint Thursdays Compilation|Mario Paint Thursdays]] series.

*Pressing Tab+Enter can cheat the game and make well over a hundred Bronco Trolleys.
**Holding down the Enter key on the orange slice with the right timing will put the score through the roof, making it possible to get over 800 Trolleys (but the third digit is not fully visible).
**Quickly and repeatedly pressing Enter on the peanut butter in order to bring up maximum oranges, then pressing Enter repeatedly on one of the oranges, causes the count to go so fast that the timer apparently freezes. This can result in scoring infinite points. After the finish, letting go shows the timer as higher than 30.
**There is a problem with this trick on some browsers; Tab can easily go to the Navbar on the bottom of the screen or to the URL bar on the browser, and pressing Enter causes the Toons menu to come up or the page to refresh, canceling the game.
*Another simple cheat is to click on the same item repeatedly, causing the next item to duplicate.
**Pressing Tab and both Enter keys at the same time also duplicates whatever is next.
*Clicking and holding a food and dragging the mouse away from it will not collect it.

===Fast Forward===
*A ''[[Mario Paint]]'' animation featuring a Bronco Trolley and some [[melonade]] was {{postref|966780528883007488|22|Feb|2018|posted=1}}, as a part of an ongoing [[Mario Paint Thursdays Compilation|Mario Paint Thursdays]] series.

Bleu Ninja: /* Homestar Runner Updates */ Check your email and check-your-e-mail

{{rename}}
'''Homestar Runner Updates''' is a [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] email newsletter run by [[the Brothers Chaps]]. Launched under the name '''The Deleteheads Download''', the newsletter annouces new updates to the site as well as new [[Games|games]] and [[Store|merchandise]], as well as behind-the-scenes previews of these.
{{toclimit|2}}
== History ==
[[File:IndexHTML.png|thumb|The mailing list was established in 2018, presented via a link on the [[index page]] of [[homestarrunner.com]].]]
The option to sign up for a mailing list was first offered through [[Index Page Footer|a message on the footer]] of the site's [[index page]] on January 13, 2018 ([[Trogday (holiday)|Trogday]]). At the time, the site was "trying out some new stuff" in preparation for the discontinuation of [[Flash]] {{--}} this included exploring several redesigns of the site in general and the index page in particular.

The first installment of this newsletter was sent less than two weeks later, on January 24. "The Deleteheads Download" was written in-character as [[Strong Sad]], leader of [[Strong Bad Email]] fan club [[The Deleteheads]], sent from his email address ([[Contacts#Strong Sad|depressio@homestarrunner.com]]). Four volumes were sent out, continuing through November of 2019.

The mailing list [[Hiatuses|was not used]] for several years. By 2021, [[Post-Flash Site Update|a site update]] had redesigned the index page to no longer include the signup option; signups are still available at the [[Trogdor!! The Board Game website]] and an abandoned, hidden [[newhr:|former redesign of the index page]].

In 2024, the emails returned with a fifth installment. These were now rebranded simply as "Homestar Runner Updates", sent from deleteheads@homestarrunner.com; acknowledging the time that had passed, emails now included a footer that allowed no-longer-interested former fans to unsubscribe. The footer also includes links to [[social media]] and [[music streaming profiles]]. The newsletter is no longer written in-character (though it still features the site's signature sense of humor), allowing for more concise descriptions of what is new.

== The Deleteheads Download ==
===Vol. 1 (January 24, 2018)===
[[File:The Deleteheads Download banner.png|600px|Be seated, Deleteheads!]]

'''Please be seated, Deleteheads!'''

Just dropping you all a line to say thanks for validating my unhealthy obsession with my own brother. And to give you an exclusive peek at Stinkoman Level 10!

We here at Deleteheads Central (aka underneath this Afghan Whigs afghan blanket on my bed with an old Lappy) managed to get a hold of Videlectrix Two himself via land line and he smuggled us this gif of a new destructible floor block in action via 1600 baud dial-up modem.

Sadly, Videlectrix One stormed in before he could send me any more and started ranting about "Grood Gaphics." When Two tried to correct him, it only made things worse.

[[File:Trogdor Boardalectrix Game Piece Deleteheads Downloads.jpg|left|250px]]
A couple days later, I got this photo in the mail. Videlectrix Two says he found it on the floor of the 'Boardalectrix' offices next door. To what does this portend?!

Let the rampant, unchecked speculation begin!

====Updates====
*[[Development of Stinkoman 20X6 Level 10]]
*[[Trogdor!! The Board Game]]

====Fun Facts====
*{{w|The Afghan Whigs}} are a rock band.
*Internet speed is measured in baud as it was in [[isp]].
*"[[Good Graphics|Grood Gaphics]]" is a [[spoonerism]] and a reference to [[Cheerleader]]'s [[portmanteau]] of "great" and "good" from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]].
*[[Boardelectrix]] has been [[Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner universe|inconsistently portrayed]] as either a division of or unrelated to [[Videlectrix]].

'''Trog-Board!!'''

Please be seated, Deleteheads. The crowdfunding Kickcheater campaign for '''Trogdor!! The Board Game''' is live at last (like my fav Sabbath record) at {{p|l=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1999933720/trogdor-the-board-game THIS LINK RIGHT HERE}}!

There's plenty to check out there including a Boardelectrix commercial (I can never tell if it's retro, ironic, or if they honestly don't know what decade it is) and a gameplay demo with yours truly, the Deathly Pallor, in my very own tabletop review show ''''Six-Sadded, Die.''''

If you like what you see, be sure and pledge it up so tabletop burnination can become a reality for all. Aaand so I can finally get revenge on Strong Bad for burning my chiaroscuro dragon drawing. It's a cooperative game but I can sabotage SB's efforts from the ''inside''! Like ''ophiocordyceps unilateralis'', the zombie fungus that takes over insects' brains and makes them do its bidding!

[[File:IndexPageRedesignDeleteheadsDownload.png|left|250px|link=http://new.homestarrunner.com/]]
Sneak peek time, Deleteheads. HomestarRunner.com is working on a {{p|l=http://new.homestarrunner.com redesigned front page}} that will work on all devices without Flash. That's right, the website is finally being brought into the year...

Well, about 2007 from the looks of it. But hey, that's better than nothing, right? Give it a spin! See what you like and what you hate. Don't worry, the old Flash version of the site will always be available right up until Adobe throws the killswitch (I'm campaigning to make Strong Bad the one who actually throws it!).

====Updates====
*[[Trogdor!! The Board Game]]
*[[Six-Sadded, Die]]
*[[Index Page#Post-Flash Transition (2018-2020)|Post-Flash Index Page]]

====Fun Facts====
*Kickstarter is referred to as "[[Kickcheater]]".
*"Live at last (like my fav Sabbath record)" refers to the album ''{{w|Live at Last (Black Sabbath album)|Live at Last}}'' by {{w|Black Sabbath}}.
*The GIF demonstrating gameplay of [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]] includes the caption "*Actual tiles do not Billie Jean", referring to the illuminating tiles in the {{w|Billie Jean#Music video|"Billie Jean" music video}} by [[Michael Jackson]].
*Strong Sad refers to his [[Dragons|dragon]] drawing which Strong Bad sets fire to in the email [[dragon]].
*As noted, ''{{w|Ophiocordyceps unilateralis}}'' is a fungus that parasitizes [[Bugs|ants]].

===Vol. 3 (August 13, 2018)===

'''2 Days Left of Trognarok!'''

Please be seated, Deleteheads. {{p|l=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1999933720/trogdor-the-board-game The Kickcheater campaign}} to fund the production of '''Trogdor!! The Board Game''' has almost reached its close.

Nearly 20,000 kind souls have pledged to help bring this game to life so far. And best of all, they raised enough money to create alternate Trodgor meeples including my very own chiaroscuro shaded Burninator! Sadly, he has to share that honor with Coach Z's Wormdingler which is unsettling just to type out.

The campaign '''ends''' on '''Wednesday August 15th at 6pm EST'''. So if you still want to secure a copy of the game, {{p|l=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1999933720/trogdor-the-board-game CLICK HERE}} to head to the Kickcheater page and pledge it on up!

[[File:DeleteheadsDownloadPrintAndPlay.jpg|250px|left|link=hr:printandplay]]
But if you still need some convincing, there's a [[oldhr:printandplay|PRINT & PLAY]] version available for download so you can test-drive Trogdor yourself or at least take a peek at the rules and see if cooperative burnination is right for you and your family!

[[File:DeleteheadsDownloadSixSaddedDie.jpg|250px|right|link=]]
And last, there's another installment of my tabletop review show '''Six-Sadded, Die'''. In this episode, my thrifting pal '''Lucky Yates''' and I try to remember the rules to an obscure Boardelectrix familial dynamics game <nowiki>'</nowiki>'''''Don't Make Daddy P.O.'d'''''<nowiki>.'</nowiki>

You can find the video {{p|l=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1999933720/trogdor-the-board-game/posts/2262467 here in this Kickcheater update}}. Lucky respects me for my taste in driftwood pigeons and, of course, country dish towels.

Trogdor!! The Board Game

{{about|board game}} {{for-nothe|other uses|Trogdor (disambiguation)}}
'''Trogdor!! The Board Game''' (shortened to '''Trogdor!!''') is a [[board game]] featuring [[Trogdor]] rampaging across [[Peasantry]]. [[PAX East - 8 Apr 2018|Described as]] a "board game adaptation of [[TROGDOR!|the video game adaptation]] of [[TROGDOR (song)|the song]] from [[dragon|the cartoon]]", ''Trogdor!!'' is a cooperative puzzle area control game in which the players work together to burninate the countryside, [[peasants]], and [[thatched-roof cottages]]. Each player assumes the role of a [[The Three Keepers of Trogdor|Keeper of Trogdor]], making use of unique powers and items to guide Trogdor around the board to accomplish this goal while avoiding [[The Red and Blue Knights|knights]] and [[Mendelev and Dongolev|archers]]. The game is for one to six players, and play time is estimated at 30 minutes. The recommended age is 14+, and difficulty can vary based on player-chosen level layouts.

The game is made by [[the Brothers Chaps]] ([[Boardelectrix]]) and {{w|James Ernest}} ({{w|Cheapass Games}}). The box art, game tiles, character cards, and item cards feature art by Chris Schweizer. The rulebook was written with [http://lonesharkgames.com Loneshark Games]. The plastic miniatures were sculpted by [[Rick Van Velsor]], who had previously sculpted the [[Homestar Runner Figurines|collectible figurines]]. Production funds for the game were raised via a {{w|Kickstarter}} campaign in the summer of 2018, collecting over $1.4 million in pledges from over 20,000 supporters. Shipping to these backers began in early July 2019, followed by a retail version released in the fall of 2020 to [[store]]s. In spring 2022, the "[[#Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck|Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck]]" was released which added new gameplay elements to the board game.

==History==
The idea first came up after [[The Brothers Chaps]] developed an interest in playing more advanced board games with their kids and friends. Playing games like ''{{w|Ticket to Ride (board game)|Ticket to Ride}}'', ''{{w|Kill Doctor Lucky}}'', and {{w|legacy game}}s like ''{{w|Pandemic (board game)|Pandemic}} Season 1'' and ''{{w|Risk (game)|Risk Legacy}}'' prompted the idea of making their own game. Centered around Trogdor, the concept drew influence from many aspects of the character ([[TROGDOR!|computer game]], [[Trogdor (song)|song]], [[dragon|cartoon]], etc.) to design "a game of burnination, cooperation, and peasant-tation" (as described by Matt's daughter).

Initial prototypes were made with 3D-printed pieces and handmade cards, before the Chaps reached out to other collaborators. {{w|Patrick Rothfuss}} introduced them to {{w|James Ernest}} of {{w|Cheapass Games}}, who refined the gameplay systems. Illustrator Chris Schweizer drew the artwork for the cards, tiles, and packaging (additional drawings by [[Mike Chapman]], purportedly from Strong Bad, appear in the margins of the instruction booklet). The game pieces were sculpted by [[Rick Van Velsor]].

===Pre-release Promotion===
[[File:InstagramAllTheFilters.jpg|thumb|The first pre-release image of the game board]]
The game was first teased through several [[@strongbadactual (Instagram)|Instagram]] posts in 2017. On [[@strongbadactual (Instagram)#BZo5JCJh4ij|September 29]], a video of a [[thatched-roof cottage]] being 3D-printed was posted. On October 16, [[@strongbadactual (Instagram)#BaSiQY4B2I1|a video of]] a [[3D Character Variations|CG model]] of Trogdor designed for 3D-printing was shared. Heavily-filtered and obscured pictures of the prototype game board were shared on [[@strongbadactual_(Instagram)#BafkhHKhIxn|October 20]] and [[@strongbadactual_(Instagram)#BbnFK40hIHk|November 17]], with neither being clear enough to see well. A single action card was revealed on January 24, 2018, in [[The Deleteheads Download]] [[The Deleteheads Download#Vol. 1 (January 24, 2018)|Vol. 1]], purportedly leaked from the [[Boardelectrix]] offices.

[[File:TrogdorBoardGame.jpg|thumb|The first announcement, featuring the game board.]]
The game was officially announced on March 19, 2018, by both an [[Index Page]] [[Index Page Footer#March 19, 2018|footer message]] and [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2018#975808792146391046|a post on]] the [[@StrongBadActual]] Twitter account. Both promoted that a "janky prototype" of the game would be playable at {{w|PAX (event)|PAX East}} 2018, April 5–8. The Brothers Chaps also [[PAX East - 8 Apr 2018|held a panel at PAX East]], revealing more information about the game and mentioning that a "[[Kickcheater]]" was forthcoming.

An [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2018#1006762877397667841|advertisement video]] was posted on @StrongBadActual on June 12, 2018, announcing that the Kickstarter would launch in July. A dedicated [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Website|webpage]] was made for the game shortly thereafter on June 29. Dedicated Twitter and Facebook pages were created the same day; both [[social media]] accounts have since been closed.

Later [[Trogdor Live Playtest @ GenCon|playtests]] took place at [[Gen Con 2018]] on August 2{{-}}3 and on [[JoCo Cruise 2019]] in March.

===Kickstarter Campaign===
[[File:TwitterKickCheater.png|thumb|Pledge [[it out]]!]]
{{seealso|Trogdor!! The Board Game (video)}}
The {{w|Kickstarter}} [[kickstarter:projects/1999933720/trogdor-the-board-game|"Trogdor!! The Board Game" campaign]] was launched on Tuesday, July 17, 2018 with an initial goal of $75,000 {{--}} which was surpassed within the first few hours.

Several reward levels were available, with higher levels made in partnership with [https://wyrmwoodgaming.com/ Wyrmwood Gaming]:

* '''$40: Wingaling Level''' {{--}} The full game with screen-printed wooden meeple game pieces.
* '''$60: Burninator Level''' {{--}} The full game with screen-printed wooden meeple game pieces as well as a set of painted high quality plastic miniature game pieces.
* '''$200: Wyrmwood Beefy Level''' {{--}} Everything from the Burninator Level plus a handcrafted wooden gameboard made of cherry by the artisans at Wyrmwood Gaming.
* '''$500: Wyrmwood Majesty Level''' {{--}} Everything from the Burninator Level plus an engraved, handcrafted Wyrmwood gameboard, box, and accessories made of cherry.
* '''$1,800: Wyrmwood Consummate Level''' {{--}} Everything from the Burninator Level plus the handcrafted Wyrmwood gameboard, box, and accessories made from even more luxurious wood and materials PLUS a built in Lazy-Susan!

====Stretch Goals====
Once the initial $75,000 goal was reached, several additional backing goals were met that allowed for improvements to the quality of the base game:
# '''$150,000''' {{--}} Repeated tiles have unique art. Spot UV printing used on burninated tile backs.
# '''$250,000''' {{--}} A "[[Malloween Commercial|Stack 'Em To The Heavens]]" mini-game for the wooden meeples, including a drawstring bag and rules card, was added. A [[trogdorboardgame:soundboard|soundboard website]] was made available. A backer-submitted email ([[parenting]]) would be answered.
# '''5,000 backers''' {{--}} [[Really Cool Boat]]
# '''10,000 backers''' {{--}} Card material upgraded to linen. Spot UV printing used on box.
# '''12,000 backers''' {{--}} [[Six-Sadded, Die. - Don't Make Daddy P.O.'d]]. Strong Bad's Keepers and Items added to the game.
# '''15,000 backers''' {{--}} Alternate Trogdor meeples of [[The S is for Sucks Dragon]], [[Strong Bad]]'s original Trogdor drawing, [[Strong Mad]]'s [[Dragons#Strong Mad's Attempt|"DAGRON" attempt]], [[Wormdingler]], and [[Strong Sad]]'s [[Dragons#Strong Sad's Dragon|chiaroscuro dragon]].

====Bingo====
[[File:TwitterBingoComplete.jpg|thumb|The completed bingo board.]]
A "Backer Burnination Bingo" was also completed, in which backers could submit their Trogdor fanstuff to complete a 3×3 bingo board:
* 20 works of Trogdor poetry
* 5 Trogdor or Peasant cosplays
* 20 ratty old Trogdor t-shirts
* 5 "Six-Sadded, Die" 3D prints
* 10 Trogdor tattoos
* 10 'Dagron' carvings
* 5 "Trogdor" ukulele covers
* 15 chiaroscuro Trogdor fan drawings
* 20 inanimate objects that look like Trogdor

In the style of the board game, once the nine tiles were "burninated" an additional task was required to burninate the central cottage:

* 1 video of 25 people screaming 'TROGDOR!'

Completing the bingo would unlock a [[SBCG4AP Playthrough|live stream]] of [[Matt Chapman]] playing and voicing ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]'' episode [[Homestar Ruiner]]. On August 11, the playthrough was unlocked without fans having to complete the final task, in recognition of the tenth anniversary of ''SBCG4AP'''s release.

====Conclusion====
The campaign ended on Wednesday, August 15, 2018, with a total of $1,421,903 raised (nearly 20 times the goal) and 23,338 backers.

Preorders were available on [https://trogdor.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders Backerkit] from September 17 to October 31 (extended from October 15). Extra items, such as [[character]] [[Meeple Character Variations|meeples]], enamel pins, and shirts, were also available with preorders. A [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Rulebook EP|rulebook album]], consisting of thirteen songs explaining rules and mechanics of the game, was released April 15, 2019.

Shipping to backers began in early July 2019.

===Retail===
A "Retail Edition" of the game was released in Fall 2020, after the Kickstarter concluded. This version does not include the wooden meeples or "Stack 'Em To The Heavens!" minigame but is otherwise identical, and is sold in the [[myshopify:products/coming-in-fall-2020-trogdor-the-board-game-retail-version|Shopify]] [[store]] (formerly on the [[Teespring#Collectables|Spring]] storefront as well).

The prototype version of the games and rules is [[oldhr:printandplay|available as a free download]] in print-and-play format.

===Post-Release===
In Spring 2020, the "[[#Book of Haldo|Book of Haldo]]" beta rulebook was posted on the [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Website|website]] and {{prs|1249795875486007296|Apr|13|2020|alt=Twitter}}, giving the Archer a more complex ruleset.

In Spring 2022, the "[[#Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck|Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck]]" was released which adds new gameplay elements to the board game. A [[Expando Deck Promo|toon]] was made to explain and promote the expansion. In 2025, a printable version of the deck was added to the site.

==Instructions==
:''For complete instructions, see the [[trogdorboardgame:Trogdor_Rulebook.pdf|official rulebook]].''

===General===
The objective of the game, as outlined in [[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor's song]], is to:
*'''Burninate the [[Peasantry|countryside]]:''' flip all twenty-five tiles to the burninated side.
*'''Burninate the [[peasants]]:''' remove all peasants from the board, whether by chomping or burninating them.
*'''Burninate the [[thatched-roof cottages]]:''' set all three cottages aflame.
The game is won by meeting all three of these conditions. As a collaborative game, all players win or lose together.

===Setup===
:''See [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Items]] for complete descriptions of game components.''
[[File:gameGallery16.jpg|thumb|The map, cards, pieces, and Trog-Meter]]

====Game Board====
Place the twenty-five countryside tiles, unburninated side up, in a five-by-five grid. Players may use the board presets listed in the instruction booklet or come up with their own configurations. For easier play, place cottage and lake tiles on edges, and place the two tunnels far from each other. Once the board has been arranged, place one cottage and one peasant on each cottage tile. Place Trogdor on the center tile, and place the two knights and the archer on different tiles.

Place the Trog-Meter, action deck, movement deck, and Void card next to the board, with space for two discard piles. Place the Troghammer and the flame helmet in their spaces on the Trog-Meter. Fill the Trog-Meter with the remaining four peasants.

====Keepers of Trogdor====
Each player will assume the role of one of the Keepers of Trogdor, granting them special abilities as described on the card. These abilities do not need to be recharged, and may be used only on the player's turn unless specified otherwise. Deal each player a Keeper card, either chosen or at random.

====Items of Trogdor====
Each player will have an item that may be used to perform a special action as described on the card. These actions may be used only on the player's turn, and must be recharged by satisfying the condition on the card before they can be used again. A player's item may only be recharged on their turn, and may not be used more than once per turn, regardless of recharge (though it may be used and recharged, or recharged and used, in the same turn). The Disk of Healing does not recharge and may only be used once per game. Deal each player an item card, either chosen or at random.

====Action and Movement Deck====
Players will draw from the action deck on their turn to determine the actions they can take. Seven of the action cards are Troghammer cards. Remove these from the action deck and set them aside; they will be shuffled in the first time Trogdor takes damage. Shuffle the action deck and deal one action card to each player.

Movement cards will be used to specify the movements of peasants, knights, and the archer during the countryside phase. Shuffle the movement deck and place it where players can reach.

Any method may be used to determine who takes the first turn.

===Turns===
[[File:gameGallery12new.jpg|thumb|A turn being played with meeples]]
Each turn consists of two phases: one where the player controls Trogdor, and one where the countryside takes actions. Note that the countryside phase is still considered part of the turn of the player who just moved Trogdor.

====Phase 1: Trogdor's Actions====
Draw an action card. The player should now have two action cards in hand, and must choose one to play and one to "bank" for a future turn. Each action card should specify a number of action points (AP) and a special action or ability that Trogdor is allowed for that turn. Note that these abilities are optional and do not need to be used. If the player doesn't like either of their action cards, they may discard one to gain 5 AP with no special ability. Once an action card is chosen, it may be discarded.

If a Troghammer card is drawn:
*If the Troghammer is not yet in play, place it on the center tile.
*If the Troghammer is in play, draw a movement card, and, ignoring all other information on the card, move the Troghammer along the movement path (damaging Trogdor and repairing cottages as in a normal knight movement).
If at any time the Troghammer lands on a tile occupied by a knight or archer, draw another movement card and move it again. After a Troghammer card has been drawn, discard it and draw a new action card. Note that the Troghammer is a knight, and if he is in play, all rules applying to knights apply to him as well.

[[File:gameGallery11new.jpg|thumb|Trogdor burninating a cottage]]
Once an action card has been chosen for play, Trogdor may take actions{{--}}up to the number of action points specified on that card. These are the actions that players can do:
*'''Move''' Trogdor one tile to the north, south, east or west. Trogdor does not have diagonal movement or wraparound movement unless granted by a Keeper or an action card.
**Trogdor takes damage if he moves onto a knight's tile.
*'''Chomp''' a peasant on the tile Trogdor occupies. Remove the peasant from the board and add it to the Trog-Meter (Trogdor's health).
*'''Hide''' on a mountain tile, rendering Trogdor invulnerable to the knights and archer during the next phase. Set Trogdor on his side to represent his hidden status. This action will end the turn.
*'''Burrow''' from one tunnel tile to the other.
*'''Burninate''' a tile, a peasant, or an eligible cottage.
**'''Burninate a tile:''' Flip the tile Trogdor occupies to the burninated side. This does not affect any other pieces occupying the tile. Note that burninated tiles retain any special function they had previously.
***The lake tile must be surrounded by burninated tiles on all four sides before it may be burninated. (This condition does not wrap around if the lake is on the edge of the board.)
***Cards that let players burninate a tile other than the one where Trogdor is standing ignore the usual burninating restrictions; for example, the lake tile can be burninated regardless of the condition of its neighbors.
**'''Burninate a peasant''' on the tile Trogdor occupies: Crown the peasant with the flame helmet. Then draw a movement card, and, ignoring all other information on the card, move the peasant along the movement path, burninating each tile the peasant visits (including its starting tile). If the peasant reaches the end of its path without being saved by the lake (see below), it is removed from the board and placed in the Void, not on the Trog-Meter.
***If the peasant visits an eligible cottage, the cottage is ignited. If the peasant's path ends on a burninated cottage, the peasant is re-ignited with a fresh movement card.
***If the peasant visits another peasant, the other peasant is ignited{{--}}complete the current peasant's movement and then draw a fresh movement card for the other one.
***If the peasant visits the lake, the peasant is extinguished and the lake is left unharmed, regardless of its burnination status. (There is, therefore, no point in burninating a peasant who is already at the lake, as it will be extinguished instantly.)
**'''Burninate a cottage''' on the tile Trogdor occupies: In order to be ''eligible'', a cottage's tile must be burninated, as well as the eight tiles surrounding it. As with the lake, this condition does not wrap around. If the cottage is eligible, it may be burninated by flipping the piece to its burninated side.
***Note: cottages may be repaired by knights. If the tiles around a burninated cottage are repaired by peasants, the cottage is not automatically repaired, but it will make it more difficult to re-burninate if it does get repaired.
*'''Pass''' and forfeit any remaining action points.

====Phase 2: The Countryside's Movements====
It's time for the countryside to fight back. Draw a movement card. All peasants, knights, and the archer have ''wraparound movement'': if they move off the edge of the board on one side, they reappear on the opposite side.
*Observe the number of peasants (zero to four) in the top left of the card. Spawn peasants from the Trog-Meter until the number of peasants on the board is greater than or equal to the number of peasants on the card. Note that health lost due to peasant spawning is not considered damage, and thus Trogdor cannot be killed by peasant spawning. Peasants may be placed on any cottage tile, given the following rules:
**A cottage that is already occupied by a peasant cannot spawn peasants.
**A burninated cottage cannot spawn peasants.
**If there is no cottage that can spawn a peasant, or if the Trog-Meter is empty, no more peasants can be spawned. Peasants never spawn from the Void.
*Move all peasants on the board one tile in the direction specified on the arrow. If the arrow is green, peasants repair the tiles they step onto. Peasants do not repair cottages{{--}}if a peasant steps onto the tile of a burninated cottage, the peasant is burninated.
*Move the knights (including the Troghammer if he is in play) and the archer along the movement path.
**If a knight visits Trogdor's tile, Trogdor takes damage; move one peasant from the Trog-Meter to the Void. If a knight visits a burninated cottage, that cottage is repaired.
**At the end of the archer's movement, it fires arrows along its row (if it last moved horizontally) or column (if it last moved vertically). If Trogdor is in this row or column, he takes damage. Note that arrows do not touch the archer's tile; if the archer is on Trogdor's tile when he shoots, Trogdor is not harmed.
*Remember to shuffle the Troghammer cards into the action deck the first time Trogdor takes damage.

It is now the next player's turn. Turns move clockwise.

===Trogdor's Fiery Rage===
If Trogdor takes damage while the Trog-Meter is at zero, he dies{{--}}or rather, he "rage-quits". Trogdor's Fiery Rage is a special endgame phase in which Trogdor has one last chance to beat the game in a blaze of glory.

Draw five movement cards, and, ignoring all other information on the card, move Trogdor along each movement path sequentially. Trogdor gains wraparound movement for this phase. Including his starting tile, Trogdor lays waste to everything he touches: tiles and cottages are burninated regardless of eligibility, peasants are removed (without triggering peasant burnination), and knights are killed (although the archer lives). If, by the end of the five movements, the win conditions have been met, Trogdor has achieved a "[[total]] table-flip victory". If not, "Trogdor [retires] in defeat, to burninate another day."

Strong Bad encourages players to end each game, regardless of the outcome, with a rousing "[[Teen Girl Squad|IT'S OVER!]]"

===Book of Haldo===
[[File:haldo promo.png|thumb|A summary of the Book of Haldo rules]]
:''For complete instructions, see the [[trogdorboardgame:BookofHaldo_Rulebook.pdf|Book of Haldo Rulebook]].''
In a tweet from {{prs|1249795875486007296|13|Apr|2020|alt=April 13, 2020}}, Strong Bad introduced a new set of rules for Trogdor!! The Board Game that affects how arrows shot by the archers affect other game pieces.

If playing with Book of Haldo rules, the game board must be set up so two cottages are placed on any of the eight tiles surrounding the center.

The archers now shoot arrows in all four cardinal directions (north, south, east and west) from wherever the archers land at the end of their movement path. Be sure to track the path of each arrow, as it will impact tiles and game pieces in new and chaotic ways. If more than one element occupies a tile touched by an arrow, resolve in the order listed below.
#'''Flaming cottage:''' The arrow flies through the cottage and catches fire, making it a flaming arrow. Flaming arrows burninate every tile they pass through (including the lake), in addition to the effects described below.
#'''Peasant:''' The peasant is shot and rendered "immobilized". Arrowed peasants do not move and do not count in the peasant spawning tally. However, Trogdor can{{--}}and must in order to win{{--}}still eat these peasants. Arrow path ends.
##If the arrow is flaming, the peasant is burninated instead.
#'''Tunnel:''' The arrow flies into the tunnel and out the other end, continuing in its original direction. Trogdor is hit by the arrow if he is standing on the "out" tunnel, but not if he is standing on the "in" tunnel.
#'''Knight:''' The shot is deflected in the direction of the peasant movement on the movement card. The arrow continues flying until it hits something or reaches the edge of the board. If the arrow hits a second knight, the arrow is deflected again in the original direction that the archers shot it.
#'''Unburninated cottage:''' The cottage blocks the shot. If Trogdor is on the same tile as the cottage, he hides behind the cottage and does not take any damage. Arrow path ends.
##If the arrow is flaming and the cottage is eligible, the cottage is burninated.
#'''Troghammer:''' He protects himself by performing a spin attack, damaging Trogdor if he is on any of the eight adjacent tiles (but not the tile on which the Troghammer stands). The spin attack does not affect peasants, knights, or archers, and does not wrap around. Arrow path ends.
#'''Trogdor:''' Trogdor is arrowed as normal.

If the archers end their movement path on the same tile that Trogdor occupies, Trogdor sets all four arrows on fire before they are shot.

=== Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck ===
[[File:expando promo.png|thumb|"It's like new cards that they didn't think of the first time they made the game."]]
{{seealso|Trogdor!! The Board Game Items#Magicks and 'Mergencies Expando Deck}}
The deck includes 46 cards, Action and Emergency cards intended to mix with the existing Action deck and Spell Cards to form a new deck for play.
*21 new Action Cards
*10 Emergency Cards
*10 Spell Cards
*2 Rule Cards
*3 additional Troghammer Cards

==Stack 'Em to the Heavens==
[[File:StackEmToTheHeavens.png|thumb|"Now you can play a game called Stack 'Em to the Heavens!"]]
'''Stack 'Em to the [[Heaven]]s''' is a competitive meeple-stacking minigame. A small white drawstring canvas bag comes free inside every board game box. The bag has an image of Marshie on fire, with the text "STACK EM TO THE HEAVENS!" and the rules on it. According to the Kickstarter page, the bag is intended to be used for keeping meeples in, so the game can be played anywhere. The title (and Marshie's presence on the bag and in the commercial) is a reference to Marshie's song in [[Malloween Commercial]], when advertising that [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows|Fluffy Puff Malloweens]] fit on top of each other.

Start by putting the peasant, knight, and Troghammer meeples in a bag, shake the bag, and roll the meeples onto a surface. The two players take turns stacking meeples on top of each other. Meeples that land face-up or on their edge are stacked upright and can be rotated however the player chooses, and face-down meeples are stacked flat. The objective is to make the tower as precarious as possible, making the other player topple the stack down, or to force the other player into placing a third consecutive peasant. If all the meeples are successfully stacked, the game ends in a draw.

Originally, there was an animated GIF on the board game's Kickstarter page, depicting meeples being stacked. The GIF's caption jokingly mentioned that the reader could make up a minigame called "Stack Em To The Heavens". On July 17th, the day the Kickstarter campaign began, the second stretch goal was announced. It was stated that upon reaching $250,000, that joke would be turned into a real game, and a companion soundboard website would be created for the board game. The goal was achieved the next day. On August 15, 2018, [[Puppet Character Variations#Puppet Strong Bad|Puppet Strong Bad]], [[Mike Chapman]], and [[Lucky Yates]] played the game live during the [[Final Hours Playthrough]]. According to Strong Bad, the rules were made up the day before in five minutes. At this point, the archer was also included. On October 25, 2018, a [[Stack 'Em to the Heavens!|commercial]] was released on [[YouTube]].

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*Several cards and mechanics were altered or replaced during the pre-production of the game.
**Items of Trogdor:
***"That Dog Tennis Ball Thing, 'cept with Fireballs" was originally called "Ball of Fire".
***"Pauldrons of [[Greg]]" had the ability to prevent Trogdor from taking one damage, recharging when Trogdor devours a peasant. In the final game, "Shield of Cumberdale" and "Super Trinket" provide similar functions, albeit from only one source of damage each.
***"Bones of Luckman" gave the player an extra Action point. This was replaced by "Two Gross Beans", which gives the player ''two'' additional AP.
**Action cards:
***"High Energy" was originally called "Trog-Burst", and before that, "Extra Actions".
***"Jhonka Help" originally provided 6 action points, and one of those could be used to eat a peasant on any tile on Trogdor's turn. The final card instead provides 5, but gives the peasant chomp for free.
***Peasants could originally only be eaten on burninated tiles.
***The original circumstances for summoning the Troghammer were different: Troghammer cards are always in the deck, and the Troghammer is summoned after three are drawn.
*[[Naked Ned]] is visible on one of the forest tiles, {{prs|1248449601365041152|9|Apr|2020|alt=hiding behind a tree}}.

===Remarks===

===Inside References===
*The whole board game is intended as a loose adaption of the original video game [[TROGDOR!]].
*[[The Keepers of Trogdor]] were the guardians of the [[Trog-Cave]] in [[Peasant's Quest]] and dispensed battle armor and weaponry used to slay Trogdor. In this game, they aim to keep Trogdor alive and control Trogdor directly.
*The two archers in the game are [[Mendelev and Dongolev]]. Crangolev is described as being their cool older sister.
*The alternate meeple [[Dragons|dragon]] figures that can be used in place of Trogdor are from the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[dragon]], including [[Wormdingler]].
*One of the Action cards is called [[X 'em up|Flip 'em Up]] [[Dan]]. There is also a "Flip 'em Up Fran" card.
*One of the Action cards is called "[[Jhonka]] Help".
*Hardybardy is said to be available for [[heavy metal]] bands.
*Strong Bad's keeper card "Lord Pastryhorn of [[Fang]]leburg" features [[croissant]]-like horns, which he professed a desire for in [[3 wishes]].

Medium At A Distance

Bleu Ninja — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 03:36:50 GMT

Bleu Ninja: Link GTG

{{watchyoutube|3kPSV0yo-MY}}
Strong Bad plays the board game "Medium" live on ''{{wp|Tabletop Simulator}}'' with [[Greater Than Games]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}

'''Date:''' Friday, May 1, 2020

'''Running Time:''' 1:12:16

==Transcript==

'''MAGGIE:''' Hey everybody! We're live with Medium and our special guest, Strong Bad. Uh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I came back! I'm still here!

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{overlapping}'' He came back!

'''MAGGIE:''' We've been lucky enough that he's agreed to help us read minds today. Uh, so I'm Maggie. I'm the marketing and sales director for Greater Than Games. Um, and below me is Chris Kirkman. What do you do?

'''CHRIS:''' I'm design community liaison for Greater Than Games, and one of the co-owners.

'''MAGGIE:''' And then below Chris is Alex.

'''ALEX:''' I'm an account manager for Greater Than Games.

'''MAGGIE:''' And then below Alex is Strong Bad. What do you do?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm a wrestleman that likes to kick things and, uh, also say words sometimes.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{chuckling}'' Nice. That's a good job.

'''CHRIS:''' ''{overlapping}'' Good job.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm known for my words. I'm very well-reknowned for my words.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{laughs}'' So we're here with Medium. Medium is a mind-reading party game that Strong Bad has never played before. Correct?

'''STRONG BAD:''' That is correct.

'''MAGGIE:''' All right. So-

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' We've never met before.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Never!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I am not a plant.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{laughter}'' So in this game, we're gonna attempt to read each others' minds, and the way that's going to work is that we each have a hand of cards that, um, we've already dealt out to each other, um, and they all say words on them like, um, "ship" or just like one single word. And we are going to try and lay down a card from our hand to a partner, and that partner is going to look at that card, think about what they have in their own hand, and try and lay down a word so that we can get to a medium word in between the two. And what's a 'medium word'? It's a word that's either inferred by the two cards, or directly between the two words on the cards. Um, an example would be, if I laid down "red", and Kirkman- Chris Kirkman laid down "white", a medium word might be "pink" because red and white makes pink, or it could be "color" because red and white are both colors-

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' "Redite". Why wouldn't it be "redite?" We're- we're not makin' portmanteaus here?

''{all laugh}''

'''ALEX:''' I mean, that would be-

'''CHRIS:''' That's a little- that's a little above our pay grade. I don't know what we-

'''ALEX:''' No, that's definitely a correct choice as well though

'''CHRIS:''' That's true.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, so a real third word that somehow links the- the two. Seemingly.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yes. And you can't use any of the- the word that's on the card in your new word. So if I had "sun" and Kirkman laid down "beach", I couldn't say "sunset", because "sun" is in "sunset".

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gotcha. So none of those compound word things.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah.

'''ALEX:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What if I say it in a funny voice, like a different voice?

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{considering}'' Then we might okay it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay.

'''MAGGIE:''' There's also the rule of the group gets to decide if the word is good.

'''CHRIS:''' ''{overlapping}'' That's very true, yes.

'''MAGGIE:''' So...

'''CHRIS:''' And we could leave it up to chat as well, if you want to.

'''ALEX:''' Mmm-hmm.

'''MAGGIE:''' That's true.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't give them any power!

'''ALEX:''' So- so Maggie, though, what happens if we get it wrong?

'''MAGGIE:''' If you get it wrong, you take the two words that you guessed- so let's say we had "sun" and "beach" and I said "ball" and Kirkman said "umbrella", we would then have to take those two words and guess another medium word between the two. So the two new words that we've said, "ball" and "umbrella", and a new word, which is obviously "rainbow" because beach balls are rainbow-colored, umbrellas are rainbow-colored, "rainbow".

'''CHRIS:''' Woooo, mind meld!

'''MAGGIE:''' Woooo, mind meld! So when you get it right, you get a certain amount of points, depending on when you get it right, and if you get it wrong, you have to keep guessing. So you get three attempts to get it right. Um, on your third attempt, if you don't get it right, then you know more about the player sitting across from you, and maybe you'll do better next time. It takes time to build that psychic link.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gotcha.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I'll hear you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Kirkman is obsessed with vegetables. That's what I'm gonna learn, I think, today.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yes, that is it.

'''ALEX:''' ''{overlapping}'' Oh def- yes, he is, he really is.

'''CHRIS:''' Everything but kale.

''{garbled crosstalk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm partially lost, but I think I'll pick it up along the way.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yes! You will. It's a really easy game. All right. So who goes first?

'''CHRIS:''' You do.

'''ALEX:''' Um yeah, I think you do. That way Strong Bad has as many chances as possible to see people do it before he has to do it.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes. I can harass you all while I wait for my turn.

'''ALEX:''' Yes.

'''MAGGIE:''' Definitely.

'''CHRIS:''' We're going to play rotating teams and not ''{gesturing}'' partners? Or what do you want to do?

'''MAGGIE:''' Uh, we'll do partners. So you're my partner and Strong Bad's my partner. The way the table's laid out.

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah, so the rotating-

'''ALEX:''' ''{overlapping}'' Clockwise, yeah. Standard rules, yes.

'''MAGGIE:''' Standard rules, yes.

'''CHRIS:''' All right.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yes, so the standard rules in this game are that the player sitting next to me, which, uh, in this little circle we've got goin', would be Kirkman. Uh, the person sitting to my left is my partner, and I will lay down a card for him. The person sitting to my right is also my partner, but we get to play last, because we'll go around in a circle. So I'm going to lay down a card: "Australia". I've been thinking about this for a while! So...

'''CHRIS:''' Oh boy...

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah. I know. There's so much that happens in Australia that it's hard to pick, but...

'''CHRIS:''' ''{chuckling}'' Uh...wow, that's uh- you did something that I don't have anything in my- Okay, let's just try this! I'm going to lay down the card: "elephant".

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{considers}'' Okay. All right. Um...okay. So now me and Kirkman are sitting here, looking at the cards "Australia" and "elephant", we're going to try and find a medium word between the two. And we're going to get the same word, because we're really good at this game. Definitely gonna match right away. Definitely isn't weird that you laid down "elephant"!

'''ALEX:''' And normally they would go "Three, two, one..." and then shout out the answer. But because, uh, playing over video, that- it can be just hard to hear each other, if you're talking at the same time, uh, we're all going to write down the answer. Except for Strong Bad. Strong Bad's going to shout out his answers.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Because I'm awesome! And people want to hear my pipes.

'''ALEX:''' Yes.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{giggles}'' Okay. Kirkman, I've got my answer written down.

'''CHRIS:''' I have mine as well.

'''MAGGIE:''' You took a long time writing, so...

'''CHRIS:''' No, I messed up the first one, so I had to rewrite it.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{laughing}'' All right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' He wrote "vegetables"!

''{All laugh.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Remember, it's all about the vegetables!

'''ALEX:''' Yes, it is.

'''MAGGIE:''' All right, so...three, two, one!

''{Maggie and Chris hold whiteboards up to their cameras, which focus after a moment: Maggie's reads "animal" and Chris's reads "kangaroo".}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Animal?

'''CHRIS:''' Kangaroo.

'''MAGGIE:''' Okay!

'''CHRIS:''' So we're close!

'''MAGGIE:''' So we're close.

'''CHRIS:''' You were on the right- but you had to think about what animal's in Australia.

'''MAGGIE:''' "Elephant" isn't there.

''{crosstalk}''

'''CHRIS:''' It's an animal!

'''MAGGIE:''' Okay, so now we have "kangaroo" and "animal".

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, boy.

''{Both consider while they write.}''

'''CHRIS:''' We can't use "Australia" again.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah. And we can't use "elephant," not that we were going to. I, hmmmmmm, I got a word.

'''CHRIS:''' "Kangaroo" and "animal"? Um...

'''ALEX:''' Vegetable.

'''CHRIS:''' Vegetable! Oh yeah, I gotta think about vegetable...

'''MAGGIE:''' Don't!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I like the way you think, Alex.

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh no, now I've got to erase it.

''{All laugh.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Okay, I've got a word.

'''CHRIS:''' This oughta be fun. There's no way we're going to match, but that's fine.

'''MAGGIE:''' I love seeing chat's suggestions. Okay, are we ready? Three, two, one...

''{Both turn their whiteboards around. Maggie's reads "koala (spelled wrong)" and Chris's reads "joey".}''

'''MAGGIE:''' "Koala"?

'''CHRIS:''' "Joey".

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh, okay.

'''ALEX:''' Awwwww.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoaaaaaa.

'''CHRIS:''' My camera is also not reversed.

'''MAGGIE:''' Mine said "koala," and then it said "spelled wrong"? I'm pretty sure I spelled "koala" wrong. Um, okay, so. Now we have "joey" and a "koala". Um. This is hard.

'''CHRIS:''' Yes, it is. This one's-

'''MAGGIE:''' "Gupdoo"? In chat actually had a good suggestion, but I can't use it now. It's "desert." We won't be using that one. Um...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I think there's like an episode of Friends, like Season Five of Friends, that would come in real handy right now.

'''CHRIS:''' With Joey and a koala?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Probably. I'm just assuming.

'''CHRIS:''' Probably, yeah. Maybe you're thinking about Marcel in Season One or Two. Which season was that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' That show really did have a monkey on it, didn't it? They went there!

'''CHRIS:''' Yep, they went there. Yep, Ross had a monkey. Hey, and that monkey started Outbreak!

'''MAGGIE:''' That's true, it did. Uh...oh man, I have to write down a word. That's what I need to do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Everyone should watch the beginning of Outbreak. It has some of the worst CG I've ever seen. That ever graced the silver screen.

'''CHRIS:''' ''{overlapping}'' That's saying a lot.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a really bad, like, uh, relief box that's actually a bomb that explodes some poor village.

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Really, really terrible.

'''MAGGIE:''' Real big. Yeah. Anyway. Okay, I have a word written down.

'''CHRIS:''' Ready?

'''MAGGIE:''' It's not the right word. Three, two, one...

''{Both turn their whiteboards around as Maggie's cat jumps up in the background. Maggie's reads "brushfire" and Chris's reads "zoo".}''

'''CHRIS:''' Zoo!

'''MAGGIE:''' Brushfire? ''{laughs}''

'''CHRIS:''' Brushfire! Brushfire is fine. A little dark, but uh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, ouch.

'''MAGGIE:''' Now everyone's going to learn something about me. It's a little dark.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. Maggie likes to envision baby koalas on fire.

''{Chris laughs.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' All right. So that's how you play if you DON'T want any points. So these cards are discarded. ''{On the Tabletop Simulator screen, Maggie's green cursor moves the "Australia" and "elephant" cards to the middle of the table.}'' This is gonna be the discard pile, uh, very slowly. And we draw two new cards.

''{Chris repeatedly rotates his camera around.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Er, one new card.

'''ALEX:''' You each draw one new card, yes.

''{Chris reverses his camera.}''

'''CHRIS:''' All right, there we go. I fixed my camera so the words will appear the correct way. ''{His camera is actually backwards now.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Awesome. So now Kirkman and Alex are going to play, and they'll do way better. Show us how you're going to mind meld on the first time.

'''ALEX:''' Oh, Kirkman, I'm sorry. Uh, your camera is wrong for yourself, but it was actually- er, now it's right for yourself, but it's wrong for everyone else.

'''CHRIS:''' Oh! ''{He reverses his camera again so the view is correct.}'' Oh, good. Glad you told me that.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, yeah, yeah.

'''CHRIS:''' Okay good, now I can actually-

'''STRONG BAD:''' Are my words going to come out backwards when I speak? ''{Strong Bad begins imitating speaking backwards. All laugh.}''

'''ALEX:''' Yes, exactly like that.

'''CHRIS:''' All right, so I'm going to lay down a card. I'm going to lay down the card "write". W-R-I-T-E.

'''MAGGIE:''' Uh, so somebody wants to know- Whalelover wants to know: "Strong Bad, why are you in the middle of Strongbadia with your computer?"

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I have a really long extension cord, and like thirty different adapters to pull this off. It is currently smoking and steaming, and I have like ten cooling fans and an entire refrigerator at my CPU.

'''MAGGIE:''' Acceptable. Acceptable reason.

'''ALEX:''' Mm-hmm.

'''CHRIS:''' Is it hot in Strongbadia?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, it's just that all this streamin' is- is causing all my ancient technology to overload.

''{Chris laughs.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Your MS-DOS 1985 setup...

'''ALEX:''' All right, let's try this: "cabin". "Cabin" with "write."

'''CHRIS:''' "Cabin" with "write"...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh...

'''MAGGIE:''' I think it is-

'''STRONG BAD:''' I wanna guess this one too!

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh, you can-

'''STRONG BAD:''' I won't reveal it until at the end.

'''MAGGIE:''' Okay. You could also, if you wanted to...there's a card called "Psychic Link." ''{Alex highlights the card in Tabletop Simulator.}'' You can guess along with them if you think you know what one of them is going to say.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And you can just play that at any time and be like "I know it! I know what they're doing!"?

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, but you can only do it once.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah. And if you choose not to use it, it's worth two points at the end of the game. If you choose to use it, uh, if you are successful, then you will get a certain amount of points back. Um, but if you're not successful then you just don't get anything.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. I can't decide if it's worth it. I'll just watch. I'll keep watching! I won't get, uh, I won't get too ambitious.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, we need to get to know each other first. We need to learn each others' minds. This is, uh-

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can read Alex like a book.

'''ALEX:''' Yes. ''{He laughs.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Do you have your word?

'''ALEX:''' I do!

'''CHRIS:''' Mmm, hang on...

'''MAGGIE:''' Every time the ''{unintelligible}'' because Kirkman's probably got the longest word ever.

'''ALEX:''' Right, well, but also when you're the second person you like, you're like "Oh, what word do I have that I can think of that goes with their word," right?

'''CHRIS:''' Exactly. All right, this is not exactly correct, but I'm going to do it anyways, so okay.

'''ALEX:''' All right. Three, two, one...

''{Alex and Chris hold their papers up to the screen. Alex's camera is backwards. Alex's paper reads "Uncle Tom" and Chris's reads "misery."}''

'''ALEX:''' Uncle Tom?

'''CHRIS:''' Misery.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, I was with Kirkman! You and me! I shoulda psychic linked with Kirkman!

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah, you woulda got points! So glad I wasn't completely out there.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah.

'''ALEX:''' No, you weren't. I honestly had no idea, like...I'm like "Kirkman, what do you think of Uncle Tom's Cabin?" I don't know.

'''CHRIS:''' It's a perfectly reasonable answer.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah. You're a professor, I just assume you're-

'''CHRIS:''' ''{overlapping}'' So now we have "Uncle Tom" and "misery." Um, you've set us up to a very awkward situation here, Alex.

'''ALEX:''' ''{wincing}'' Yeah, yeah...that's true.

'''CHRIS:''' I mean, I'm just gonna put it down.

'''MAGGIE:''' "I'm just gonna put it down." Woof. That makes me nervous.

'''ALEX:''' Okay, I am just putting it down-

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{overlapping}'' This is a family-friendly stream.

'''ALEX:''' I'm putting down as family-friendly. It's serious, but it's family friendly.

'''CHRIS:''' ''{agreeing}'' It's serious, but it's family friendly. I'm the same way. You ready?

'''MAGGIE:''' Okay.

'''CHRIS AND ALEX:''' Three, two, one...

''{Alex and Chris reveal their papers. Chris's reads "slavery" and Alex's reads "racism"; Alex's camera is still backwards.}''

'''ALEX:''' "Racism"?

'''CHRIS:''' "Slavery".

'''ALEX:''' Aww, close.

'''CHRIS:''' Close.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah. ''{nervous chuckling}'' Related.

'''ALEX:''' See, that's the kind of moment where we can be like "Hey Maggie and Strong Bad, is that close enough?" Like, we're obviously thinking the same thing, but...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, I'm going to say "yes" so we can move on and not offend anybody.

''{All laugh.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Same. Agreed.

'''CHRIS:''' I think that's fair.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's get outta that situation as soon as possible.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, let's just shimmy on outta here.

'''CHRIS:''' All right, so, which one is the second guess? ''{In Tabletop Simulator, he starts moving the cards to piles in the center of the table.}'' This one? Okay.

'''MAGGIE:''' The teal one is the second guess.

''{Chris's blue cursor in Tabletop Simulator grabs a second guess tile.}''

'''CHRIS:''' So we both get "Second Guess."

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, so that one goes between the two of us. Yeah, and so we are sharing those points and um, depend on how we're scoring, we're either scoring as a team and the team that gets the most points wins, or each individual who gets the most points between their two teams wins.

'''MAGGIE:''' Depends on how friendly we want to be. If you want to win with someone else or just take the glory for ourselves...which, we, you can do. Uh... ''{She reads comments from chat.}'' "Number three guy's camera is backwards." ''{laughs}'' I think we fixed this already, I think that we're just delayed enough that-

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah, probably-

'''MAGGIE:''' Kirkman, "number three guy," I think you're it.

'''CHRIS:''' Number three guy.

'''ALEX:''' Uh, though, that could be me somehow. My camera's coming backwards.

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh, you ARE three. Actually.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, let me look at that and see if that's true. ''{He holds his paper up to the camera again. It is clearly backwards on the stream.}'' Yeah, that's backwards! That's true. ''{He lowers the paper and adjusts his camera settings.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Looks right to me.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{She continues reading comments from the chat.}'' "How come Homestar Runner isn't playing this game instead of Strong Bad? He'd be perfect for this game." Question marks??

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's a- that's a good point. He uh, he wasn't rigged yet. On time.

''{All laugh.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Maybe he can get rigged. I'm always saying "Get rigged, Homestar!" when he comes and bothers me, but he hasn't done it yet. That's a good point. Maybe wi- since this is a psychic game, maybe I'll get psychically possessed by Homestar later on!

'''CHRIS:''' Ooh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And I can creep you out by having his voice come out of my fleshtangular mouth.

'''MAGGIE:''' Someone also said, uh... ''{She reads another comment from chat.}'' "And Strong Sad." They, they would like Strong Sad to play as well.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I think Strong Sad is an expert at this game already.

'''ALEX:''' Oh definitely, definitely.

'''STRONG BAD:''' He plays this with a Ouija Board at the same time and plays it by himself with spirits in our basement.

'''ALEX:''' Well, speaking of Ouija Boards! ''{In Tabletop Simulator, Alex pulls the "ghost" card out of his hand and places it on the table towards Strong Bad.}'' Strong Bad, how about "ghost" for your word?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh dang. Okay, okay...and now I put down another one, right? And then I'm thinking of one that m- I want to think one one that would have a good link, correct?

'''ALEX:''' Yeah. Yes. Potentially one you think that I would get, but-

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right. Okay. Here I go, here I go. ''{In Tabletop Simulator, Strong Bad pulls a card from his hand and places it on the table.}'' I got "Caribbean!"

'''ALEX:''' Oooh. ''{thinking hard}'' Oh.

'''CHRIS:''' So what are the words here, again? "Ghost" and "Caribbean."

'''ALEX:''' Yes. "Ghost" and "Caribbean."

'''CHRIS:''' Oh! I- I-, you know what?

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, I-

'''CHRIS:''' You know what? I'm playing my card, I'm playing my card.

'''ALEX:''' Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, dang.

'''MAGGIE:''' That's fast.

'''CHRIS:''' I'm gonna play my psychic link. No, because I know exactly what it is!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And wait- and like I said, this is just one, it's not like it can be like a phrase. We're talking one singular word, like Codenames style.

'''MAGGIE:''' It can be a phrase-

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, it could be!

'''MAGGIE:''' It's just harder to match on a phrase.

'''ALEX:''' And it can be like a proper name. So, like, I said "Uncle Tom" in the previous one.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh right, right, those were two words. Okay. Um.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay. Okay. Okay. ''{Maggie laughs.}'' I'm going to keep saying "okay."

'''MAGGIE:''' I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh at you-

'''ALEX:''' Okay.

'''MAGGIE:''' All right, all right.

'''CHRIS:''' Okay, good to go, okay!

'''ALEX:''' Uh, yeah. There's- there's...mmmm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I hope we're on the same wave length. ''{He pronounces it like two distinct words.}''

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, I- I think we're definitely on the same wavelength, I'm just trying to figure out specificity.

'''MAGGIE:''' There are just so many ghosts in the Caribbean.

'''ALEX:''' All right, um...all right. I am ready.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, so I'll look at yours and then yell out? Or should I yell out first because then I could cheat and see yours and say the same thing?

'''MAGGIE:''' So, uh, you'll try and count down together, and Alex will try and reveal as you're saying your word out loud.

'''ALEX:''' Yes. So plan to yell out first, though.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay.

'''CHRIS:''' And I'm revealing at the same time, too.

'''ALEX:''' Okay.

''{Alex and Strong Bad try to count together.}''

'''ALEX AND STRONG BAD:''' Three, two, one...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pirate!

''{Chris and Alex hold their sheets up to the camera. Chris's reads "pepper" and Alex's reads "Davy Jones."}''

'''ALEX:''' Davy Jones.

'''CHRIS:''' Pepper!

''{There's a pause while they all process the very different words.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, what was Kirkman's?

'''MAGGIE AND CHRIS:''' Pepper.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pepper?!

''{All laugh.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah. Ghost pepper!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ghost peppers! Oh! You're talking about like Mojo Sauce.

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh!

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah.

'''MAGGIE:''' That makes sense. Actually, Kirkman, I think you're right. ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I was thinkin' of those movies, man! And the ride!

'''CHRIS:''' I thought you-

'''ALEX:''' Yes, yes.

'''CHRIS:''' But I thought you'd be on my wavelength, 'cause it's a vegetable.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cracks up}'' I thought- I thought that was a joke. I didn't realize we were going literal with the veggies. ''{Chris laughs.}'' I also was going to say either "Le Chuck" or "Monkey Island," but I didn't know if those were two- two people would have got.

'''MAGGIE:''' Monkey Island!

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, Monkey Island was-

'''ALEX:''' Monkey Island was the best.

'''MAGGIE:''' That was a suggestion in chat. We should have-

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw man. The chat peoples feel me.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, no, so I knew it was either "pirate" or "Davy Jones" and I was like "I don't know how specific you're going to go."

'''STRONG BAD:''' I went broad. Because I figured- I thought that was easier. I'm sorry.

'''ALEX:''' No, no, no. You did the right thing. I probably did the wrong thing, going with Davy Jones.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, so we gotta discard both? No? How do we go to the next round.

'''ALEX:''' So, so now you and I have to pick between "Davy Jones" and "pirate" and try to get the same word, but we can't use "Caribbean" or "ghost".

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right, right, okay. Oh! Uh, that's easy. I got- I'm like, ready to go.

'''ALEX:''' I am too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. You count it down.

'''ALEX:''' All right. Three, two, one...

''{Alex reveals his paper, which reads "Jack Sparrow".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lockerrrrrrr!

'''CHRIS:''' Jack Sparrow! I new Jack Sparrow was coming.

'''MAGGIE:''' Aww.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, come on!

'''CHRIS:''' "Locker" is a great answer, though.

'''ALEX:''' That is a great answer, yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So now do we have to think of what's in Jack Sparrow's locker?

'''CHRIS:''' ''{laughing}'' Yes.

'''ALEX:''' Oh, but I have an answer for that one. "Jack Sparrow" and "locker"? I have that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh dang. Um...uh...I think I do too.

'''ALEX:''' Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, go for it.

'''ALEX:''' All right. Three, two, one...

''{Alex reveals his paper, which reads "heart".}''

'''ALEX:''' "Heart."

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Lots of eyeliner"!

''{All laugh.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' "Lots of eyeliner."

'''CHRIS:''' Perfect.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, what was yours, Alex?

'''ALEX:''' Mine was "heart."

'''MAGGIE:''' "Heart."

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{disappointed}'' Ohhh...

'''ALEX:''' I was going for the actual Pirates trilogy and I was like "Oh yes, Davy Jones's locker, it had the heart." It had-

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't remember anything from those movies, man!

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah, that was pretty- that was a deep cut, Alex.

'''ALEX:''' Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

'''MAGGIE:''' Listen, those like five fans of Pirates of the Caribbean really appreciate that you did that, though. So...

'''ALEX:''' Yep.

'''CHRIS:''' That's true. You'll be getting your cheque from Disney any day now.

'''MAGGIE:''' All right. ''{In Tabletop Simulator, Alex moves the two cards to the center discard pile.}'' So those words are discarded. You guys didn't get any points, but that's okay. You know a lot more about each other than you did before, so next time you'll do better!

'''ALEX:''' It's okay. Uh, Maggie and Kirkman didn't get any points together either.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, that's true.

'''CHRIS:''' That's true.

'''ALEX:''' And Strong Bad, here's another card for you. ''{In Tabletop Simulator, Alex deals Strong Bad and himself each a new card.}'' Put it in your hand.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh boy, another card.

'''MAGGIE:''' And you'll get to pick your card first this time. So Strong Bad, you'll lay down a card for me, and then I will pick one from my hand, and we'll go from there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right. Here we go. Ba-DING! ''{In Tabletop Simulator, Strong Bad plays a card from his hand that isn't clearly visible to the audience.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{reading the chat}'' Other people also said "eyeliner." Just so you know.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes!

'''ALEX:''' And rum.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna start playing with the chat people. You guys are useless.

''{All laugh.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Although, a bunch of people did say "heart" also, so...and then someone also said "jar of dirt," which is a very deep cut. Um... ''{to Strong Bad}'' you said "ring?" Um...

''{In Tabletop Simulator, Alex mouses over Strong Bad's card to show that it says "alien".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Alien". "Alien" is my card.

'''ALEX:''' ''{overlapping}'' So, Strong Bad put down "alien."

'''CHRIS:''' "Alien"? All right!

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh, "alien". Okay. ''{She pauses to think.}'' Mmmmmm...all right, all right, all right. I've got- surely there's something? ''{She clicks her tongue.}'' Oh! ''{In Tabletop Simulator, Maggie pulls a card out of her hand without revealing it, then changes her mind and puts it back.}'' Oh man. Okay. ''{She lays down the original card again.}'' I'm going to lay down this card because...I'm committed to that. I picked it.

''{Chris looks at the card himself and chuckles. In Tabletop Simulator, Alex mouses over Maggies card to reveal "plumber".}''

'''CHRIS:''' Ha! "Plumber"!

'''MAGGIE:''' So I'm thinking of something kind of specific. Um.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alien plumber.

'''CHRIS:''' Alien Plumber. You remember that failed sitcom from the late 1980's, right?

'''ALEX:''' Yeah. The- The Alien Plumber?

'''STRONG BAD:''' It was a spinoff of Alf.

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah, yeah, Alf!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shumway- Shumway and Sons Plumbing. It was great!

'''MAGGIE:''' All right, I've got my word. Are you ready?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stammering}'' I- I- Uh, no. Hang on. I gotta feels some, uh, mystical vibes coming through here. Um...

'''MAGGIE:''' All right, all right. I'll try this. If we were in person, I would make direct eye contact with you and be like "We're gonna link up on this."

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay.

'''MAGGIE:''' It's really hard to do through a webcam, but I'm trying.

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah normally you do like... ''{He points from his head to the camera with both hands, gesturing repeatedly.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' I'm trying to send you these wavelengths.

'''ALEX:''' Just- just look straight into Strong Bad's eyes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{muttering}'' Plumber. Alien. Plumber.

'''ALEX:''' And he will understand her.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um...man. Okay. I'm...I...this is so wrong! But let's do it!

'''MAGGIE:''' All right. Ready?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes.

'''MAGGIE:''' Three, two, one...

''{Maggie holds up her whiteboard, which reads "Men in Black".}''

'''MAGGIE:''' "Men in Black".

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Harry Dean Stanton"!

''{All laugh.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Oh!

'''MAGGIE:''' I don't know WHO that is!

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah, I'll just say: you're way out of your league with Maggie on this one.

'''ALEX:''' Yes.

'''CHRIS:''' But that's a good answer.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, but what did you say?

'''MAGGIE:''' "Men in Black".

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is it? I missed your answer, Maggie.

'''MAGGIE:''' "Men in Black".

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Oh no, that's- yeah, you're in the ballpark. I just went way older. ''{Chris laughs.}'' I just thought of that park where he's, like, in that room, and there's the drippy stuff everywhere, and he's chasin' the cat. And that's when he gets killed by the alien. Right? Harry Dean Stanton?

'''CHRIS:''' Harry Dean Stanton. This is-

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' I don't think he was actually plumbing at the time. He was more of a space trucker, but uh...

'''CHRIS:''' That's true.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've always thought about plumbing. In that scene.

'''CHRIS:''' Maggie, Alien is a 1979 film-

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh!

'''CHRIS:''' -by Ridley Scott that you've probably seen.

'''MAGGIE:''' I've seen it. I just don't know who that person is.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{incredulously}'' You don't know who Harry Dean Stanton is?

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. We're going to watch Cool Hand Luke. Right after this, me and Maggie are going to livestream watching Cool Hand Luke together.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{laughing}'' Okay.

'''ALEX:''' All right.

'''CHRIS:''' That's a great idea.

'''ALEX:''' But- however, neither of you-

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' And then you're gonna watch Twin Peaks Firewalk with me.

'''CHRIS:''' Ooh, yes.

'''ALEX:''' Neither of you went with "Roger Wilco", which is also the correct answer.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I totally- that's what I was gonna say! Space Quest 5! Specifically! For some reason. I don't know why.

'''ALEX:''' Yes! That's the Spinal Frontier, right?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I believe so, yes. It was just the straight-up Star Trek-y one.

'''ALEX:''' Yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, yes. Yeah, that's a good point. I thought- but he's technically a janitor, and not a plumber, but I thought the same thing. But I didn't know how, if Maggie would know-

'''MAGGIE:''' Maggie doesn't know.

'''ALEX:''' Oh, definitely not. Definitely not.

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh, no no no no no.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, so what do we gotta-? So now do we gotta go...which one do we go with? "Harry Dean Stanton" or yours?

'''MAGGIE:''' Uh, I can't say.

'''ALEX:''' Both. So you have "Harry Dean Stanton" and "Men in Black".

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay. He was probably in that movie, technically. I dunno. There was a period there where he showed up everyplace. Uh, okay. "Men in Black", "Harry Dean Stanton", and Maggie doesn't know who Harry Dean Stanton is. ''{He cracks up a bit.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Yes.

'''MAGGIE:''' So fun! It's really fun for me. Um...

'''STRONG BAD:''' But hey! Hey. Let's-? Can I-? We shouldn't- are we allowed to discuss at all? I mean, you can assume a few things about him, right? Based on my, uh

'''CHRIS:''' Yes.

'''ALEX:''' I think it's okay to, like, explain who he is a bit.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Sorta like Kirkman said, and...yeah. Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's an actor! There you go. Okay. So let's go with "Harry Dean Stanton" and "Men in Black"...uh, let's see...

'''CHRIS:''' He was also in Cool Hand Luke, so you know he's aged quite a bit.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{unconvincingly}'' Yeah, that...helps.

'''CHRIS:''' So he's an older actor, is what I'm saying.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've got an answer. I've got an answer.

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh no. Uh...okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You got this, Maggie. You got this.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{chuckling}'' All right. I've got- I wrote an answer down.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Staring too hard, it looks like our crystal ball melted in the center of our table. I feel like that's part of the problem here.

''{All laugh.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Probably, yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, ready?

'''ALEX:''' I'll work on getting a prop the next time we play?

'''MAGGIE:''' Yes, please do. Thank you.

'''CHRIS:''' Yep.

'''MAGGIE:''' Okay. Three, two, one...

''{Maggie reveals her whiteboard, which reads "Agent K.".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Tommy Lee Jones"!

'''MAGGIE:''' "Agent K."!

'''CHRIS:''' ''{excitedly}'' "Agent K."!

'''MAGGIE:''' Agent K. is Tommy Lee Jones, yeah?

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah. You got it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right!

''{All four begin talking at once.}''

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, that's- that's fair. Yes, yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That counts? That counts if we let you guys's count.

'''CHRIS:''' That's fair.

'''MAGGIE:''' I couldn't think of Tommy-

'''STRONG BAD:''' After the "racism" one, of which we will not speak.

''{All laugh.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Which we will not speak of. All right. ''{In Tabletop Simulator, Maggie grabs a Second Attempt token and places it between her and Strong Bad.}'' So we had a Second Attempt Mind Meld Token. That's not that bad. That actually went way better than I thought it would, given what we started with.

'''ALEX:''' All right. ''{In Tabletop Simulator, Alex deals new cards to Strong Bad and Maggie.}'' Here's a card fro Strong Bad, here's a card for Maggie. You both said you can't draw a card, so I'm going to do that for you.

'''MAGGIE:''' Thank you, I appreciate that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' No, I appreciate it.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{In Tabletop Simulator, Maggie fiddles with her hand.}'' Oh wait, it just flipped over. All right. ''{Maggie lays a card from her hand on the table between her and Chris.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' In the real world, cards and boxing gloves don't always mix so great. Uh, so I appreciate that. I may have you come over to my house later on, Alex.

'''ALEX:''' Uh, yeah, absolutely. Just, um...I was going to say "get me a plane ticket," but uh...that's- that's complicated right now.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You don't wanna get on a plane right now, man.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I think that you need more than a plane ticket to get to Strongbadia.

'''ALEX:''' Oh no, there's-

'''CHRIS:''' ''{interrupting}'' All right, Maggie, we got this one!

''{In Tabletop Simulator, Chris plays a card next to Maggie's. Alex mouses over both to show that they read "magic" and "chimney".}''

'''MAGGIE:''' What did you lay down?

'''CHRIS:''' "Magic" and "chimney".

'''ALEX:''' "Magic" and "chimney".

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{perking up}'' Okay! Okay, okay, okay.

'''CHRIS:''' This is easy.

'''ALEX:''' Yes it is.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You guys got the easy one.

'''ALEX:''' But, but once again it's the question of which route do you go? Like there are several different options that answers that- that those two connect to.

'''MAGGIE:''' Alex, stop! Stop making us feel bad! We definitely picked the right words.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You going to go with the 1968 local public access children's show from Detroit, called "The Magic Chimney"?

'''CHRIS:''' "The Magic Chimney"!

'''ALEX:''' Yes!

''{All laugh.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' You can't say either of those words! All right. Three, two, one...

''{Maggie and Chris show their whiteboards. Both read "Santa".}''

'''MAGGIE:''' "Santa"?

'''CHRIS:''' "Santa"!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yayyyyyy!

'''CHRIS:''' Mind meld!

'''ALEX:''' No! "Dick Van Dyke".

''{Everyone starts talking at once. Strong Bad begins singing the theme song from The Dick Van Dyke Show.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Well, that was the other one that I-

'''MAGGIE:''' Just thought about that!

'''CHRIS:''' "Mary Poppins" was one and "Dick Van Dyke" was another.

'''ALEX:''' Yep.

''{In Tabletop Simulator, both Maggie and Chris reach for First Chance Mind Meld tokens.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' I got us our point. Get outta here, kid.

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, you got it already? ''{In Tabletop Simulator, he puts the token back in the center while Maggie discards the cards from last turn.}'' Hey, that's good rendition of The Dick Van Dyke Show, Strong Bad.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, it was.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks!

'''MAGGIE:''' I just knew Mary Poppins. Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' From the episode where he tripped over the couch, and then hit the chimney and, like, busted his head open. They- they never aired that one.

'''CHRIS:''' That was an unaired episode.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mary Tyler Moore, covered in the blood of Dick Van Dyke. It's terrifying.

'''CHRIS:''' And then walnuts poured out of the chimney everywhere.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Exactly.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, they figured it was just too close to Mary Poppins that they couldn't do it.

'''MAGGIE:''' People were gonna get confused. ''{She begins reading comments from the chat.}'' "Strongbadia's airport is made of cardboard, and the plane is powered by The Cheat."

'''STRONG BAD:''' That is true. It's powered by a vinegar baking soda drive.

''{In Tabletop Simulator, Chris plays a card from his hand, which reads "pie".}''

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, that's- that's fine. I've been on-

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' That's our preferred method of nuclear fission in Strongbadia.

'''ALEX:''' I've been on sketchier planes. It's fine.

'''MAGGIE:''' That is true.

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's the same thing that Ryanair uses.

'''CHRIS:''' There you go. It's Ryanair. Or- what's it? Spirit Airlines, that flies out of Florida.

'''STRONG BAD:''' AirTran.

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, AirTran, yep.

'''ALEX:''' ''{He mouses over Chris's card to get a better look.}'' Oh, "pie"!

'''CHRIS:''' Or ''{putting on a heavy Southern accent}'' "pie", as we say down here.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, Kirk-

'''ALEX:''' I'm going to go with "glove".

'''CHRIS:''' "Pie" and "glove". Of all the words you could choose, you chose "glove". Okay.

'''ALEX:''' Yes.

'''MAGGIE:''' This is so easy! Hang on. ''{In Tabletop Simulator, Maggie grabs her Psychic Link card.}'' Psychic Link.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, dang. Maggie thinks she's got it!

'''MAGGIE:''' I do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm wearin' my pieeee glooooooooves! Bakin' something nice for you, girl! Wearin' up my pieeee gloooooves!

''{All laugh.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' This is my favourite romance song. It's a good love song.

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's pretty good.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah. Okay.

'''CHRIS:''' Okay. All right, all right, I got one.

'''ALEX:''' Okay, okay.

'''MAGGIE:''' I was born ready.

'''ALEX:''' Yep. No, this was so straightforward. Yep.

'''MAGGIE:''' Three, two, one...

''{Maggie, Chris, and Alex all hold their whiteboards and papers up to their cameras. Each reads "oven mitt".}''

'''MAGGIE, CHRIS, AND ALEX:''' "Oven mitt".

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yesssss!

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, yay!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I am tied for last!

'''ALEX:''' I am impressed that we all got the correct version of that, too.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Somebody coulda said, like, "potholder" or, you know-

'''MAGGIE:''' "Oven glove".

'''STRONG BAD:''' -"silicon fancy ones from Cook's Warehouse" or whatever.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah, and I considered even "baking", because I was thinking "glove" is maybe the baking oven mitts, so they're all involved with baking. I'm glad we all got that. That was good.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{reading from chat}'' Chat says "biscuit dough hands man", so...

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, that was my first thought.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, that was ACTUALLY what I wrote down first, so...

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I woulda had, yeah.

'''CHRIS:''' Biscuit, what was the chat saying?

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{emphasizing each word}'' Biscuit. Dough. Hands. Man.

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's- he's on the Most Wanted List in Free Country, USA. Biscuit Dough Hands Man.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, yeah.

'''CHRIS:''' Biscuit Dough Hands Man.

'''STRONG BAD:''' He always commits crimes. Some day, we will catch him! He's always three steps ahead!

''{All laugh.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' All right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno, is it you and me, Alex?

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, it is.

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah.

'''MAGGIE:''' Y'all are up.

'''ALEX:''' Let's go with something really similar to what we've done before, okay? ''{In Tabletop Simulator, Alex draws the "captain" card from his hand and places it on the table.}'' How about a "captain"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, a cap-tain! ''{He pronounces it "cap-tane".}'' Okay. ''{He hums and mutters to himself while flipping through cards.}'' Ooh, oh yeah. Okay. You better be on my wave lengths. ''{pronouncing it as two words}''

'''ALEX:''' Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, here we go. This is it. ''{In Tabletop Simulator, Strong Bad places the "shark" card on the table.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, this is an easy one. Wish I had my card left.

'''MAGGIE:''' What is it?

'''CHRIS:''' It's "captain" and "shark".

'''ALEX:''' "Captain", "shark".

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's "captain" and "shark"! There's only one choice, Alex!

'''CHRIS:''' Only one choice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' If you get this wrong, I'm going to rage quit ''{cracking up}'' and flip the table! But not really. 'Cause we should probably play a whole round.

'''ALEX:''' Oh, um...it is really worrying me that it's not immediately coming to my head.

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh, me too.

'''CHRIS:''' You must not be...oh, hmm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on!

'''CHRIS:''' I'm not surprised with Maggie, but Alex, you should get this.

'''MAGGIE:''' I know it! Rude.

'''CHRIS:''' Do you?

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah. Rude!

'''CHRIS:''' Nice! All right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Maggie's like "Yeah, uh, it's the name of the guy from Deep Blue Sea", or like, some terrible 90's CG shark movie. ''{Maggie laughs.}'' I'm just kidding, Maggie.

'''MAGGIE:''' No, that is fair. I deserve it.

'''CHRIS:''' Ian Ziering in Sharknado.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There you go.

'''ALEX:''' Right, see, this is where I'm going like "Is this some sort of Jaws reference or Sharknado reference, and I'm not going to think of the name of the character"? Like, that seems likely.

'''MAGGIE:''' It's okay. Go with your gut. You know what? Go with what your mind tells you.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll only think worse of you, Alex, that's- that's it. It's okay.

'''ALEX:''' I mean, I'd like to think you can't think better of me. So...that's fine. There's only one way to go.

'''MAGGIE:''' You can only go down from here.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I'm pretty convinced now that we're not going to get this right. So let's just get it over with, Alex! ''{Alex chuckles.}'' I thought this was a shoe-in, but it's okay.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, yeah, yeah, um...sure. Okay. Great. I've got it, I've got it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. Three, two, one...

''{Alex holds his paper up to the camera, which reads "movie".}''

'''ALEX:''' "Movie".

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Quint"!

'''CHRIS:''' "Quint" is the correct answer.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, so who is Quint?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww! Come on!

'''CHRIS:''' He's the captain of the Orca!

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Here's to swimming with the bow-legged women!"

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's the name of the captain of the boat from Jaws.

'''MAGGIE AND CHRIS:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And then you said "Is this going to be some specific character from the movie Jaws? I'm not going to know that!" and I realized we were hosed.

'''ALEX:''' Yes.

'''CHRIS:''' But round two is going to be super easy!

'''ALEX:''' Right.

'''CHRIS:''' Because you got "movie" and "Quint"...

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! That's a good point. All right, well, this is a gimme.

'''ALEX:''' Okay. I'm ready when you are.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right.

'''ALEX AND STRONG BAD:''' Three, two, one...

''{Alex reveals his paper, which says "Jaws".}''

'''ALEX:''' "Jaws"!

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Jaws 3, in 3D"!

''{All laugh.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm just kidding. Regular "Jaws".

'''ALEX:''' Yep.

'''MAGGIE:''' Good job.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, so that was like, advanced strategy there, on my part. I was like "Well, I'm not gonna get this, so I'm going to pick a word that I think will make it easy to pick something from there."

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's smart.

'''CHRIS:''' Smart.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, that was very good.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's good strageggies.

''{In Tabletop Simulator, Alex cleans up the last round, grabs a point token, and deals new cards for himself and Strong Bad.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh yeah, now it's my turn. Somehow I don't have enough cards.

'''CHRIS:''' You got two right there.

''{Alex deals another card to Maggie.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, I got another one, and then, okay, so I select one of mine, correct?

'''ALEX:''' Yes.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. ''{Strong Bad plays the "dirt" card from his hand.}'' So, this is a word I am very well acquainted with, as you can see from my background: "dirt"!

'''MAGGIE:''' "Dirt".

'''CHRIS:''' ''{laughing}'' Yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We have lovely fallowed, furrowed fields of dirt here in Strongbadia.

'''MAGGIE:''' Uh, okay.

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, you're thinking of your word?

'''MAGGIE:''' I'm thinking of words. I think that we can get to a matching word on this. ''{In Tabletop Simulator, Maggie plays the "pyramid" card from her hand.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Oh. So easy.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah. "Pyramid" and "dirt".

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, that'll work. I think that'll do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay. I think, uh...

'''ALEX:''' I will in fact Psychic Link on that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh dang. I wouldn't. But if you- if one of you Psychic Links with Maggie and not me, you get some points, but I just get...I get nothing.

'''MAGGIE:''' We just keep guessing.

'''ALEX:''' Well, I get points, but neither you nor Maggie do.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, we just keep guessing. So if he matches with me, which, he might? I think he will. Uh. ''{reading from chat}'' Someone says "That's dirt? I thought it was a deck." No. It's just dirt. Just rows and rows of dirt behind him.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You've always thought it was wood? Well, one time Homestar covered it with a deck, when he made a deck that just never ended and covered all of the lands. But, uh, no, it's nice- nicely rows, nice rows of dirt. Anyways. Let's do it, then!

'''ALEX:''' It's very nice dirt, yes. It's good dirt.

'''MAGGIE:''' Three, two, one...

''{Maggie and Alex hold their whiteboard and paper up to the camera. Both read "sand".}''

'''MAGGIE AND ALEX:''' "Sand"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Sand"! Wait, did we all three get it?

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, we did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice!

'''CHRIS:''' Nice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I couldn't decide if we were going "desert" or "sand" and I switched my choice at the last minute.

'''MAGGIE:''' Nice.

''{Alex and Maggie start cleaning up the round and passing out First Round Mind Meld tokens.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! First- so, first round style! Do I get one?

'''ALEX:''' You split one between the two of you.

'''MAGGIE:''' We share... ''{She fumbles around in Tabletop Simulator.}'' I'm picking up all of them. I can't, I can't stop.

'''ALEX:''' I've got it, I got it. ''{Alex puts all the tokens in the correct spot.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Thank you.

'''ALEX:''' So, uh, right over here is your pool of points that you and Maggie have. ''{He indicates a pile of tokesn with his cursor.}'' And right here, the single card is the pool of points that you and I have.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gotcha. I'm going to flip the table at the end of the game, no matter who wins, anyways, so.

'''ALEX:''' Okay.

'''CHRIS:''' Well, we would be disappointed if you didn't.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm only partially paying attention.

==Transcript==

''{Game opens with a Trogdor!! The Board Game setup. There are four people with headsets on the side, and Strong Bad is seen standing in Strong Badia in the lower-left corner.}''

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad, you gonna take the lead here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sure.

'''MAGGIE:''' All right, everybody. We are live.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who's live?

'''MAGGIE:''' You're live.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Me?!

''{Chris waves.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' The whole Internet can see you now.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweet deals! Hi, whole Internet! Are you sure they're all here? I don't know if this is everybody.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{laughing}'' It's close. The number is growing as we speak.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We should wait for everyone to show up before we begin. We'll be- we're gonna be here awhile.

''{The players laugh.}''

'''ALEX:''' Hi, I think we have a six-billion to go.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweet, sweet, all right. ''{Maggie laughs}'' Hey, we're commandeering the-the the Greater Than Games tabletop livestream. Why don't you guys tell everybody what you normally do and then we'll tell them how I'm gonna screw it all up?

'''MAGGIE:''' I'm Maggie. I'm the marketing director for Greater Than Games. And normally, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, we livestream uh... tabletop simulator games. For everyone stuck at home right now. Um... and then Alex, who are you, what do you do? ''{pointing to the frame below her}'' I'm pointing to where you're at.

''{The players laugh}''

'''ALEX:''' I-I I am Alex. Below Maggie? Um, ''{raising hand to the frame above}'' she's above my head. Just barely. Um... and anyway, I'm an account manager for Greater Than Games.

''{The overhead view of the board rotates.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' And then Chris, ''{pointing to the frame above}'' you're above me.

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, ''{looking to the frame below}'' hello down there. Uh... ''{Maggie laughs. Chris laughs, too}'' I'm design community liasion for Greater Than Games and also one of the co-owners, along with uh, Christopher Badell, uh, Paul Binder and Adam Rivitaro.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{raising hand above}'' And then, Mike, all at the top. ''{Mike waves}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who else? Who's... Is N. B. Davis in the center?

''{Everyone laughs.}''

'''MIKE:''' I'm gonna... I'm-I'm Mike, Strong Bad and I made this game together.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We did along with James Ernest.

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Remember him?

'''MIKE:''' I remember him. We're playing a um... the prototype uh, like print-and-play version of the game with my terrible artwork.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, looks good, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't knock yaself.

'''MIKE:''' We made like, thirty copies of this game and rounded all the.. there's lots of corner rounding around every card that we printed out.

'''MAGGIE:''' Aw, that's nice.

'''ALEX:''' Aw. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I don't necessarily miss that... cutting out. Deck after deck and rounding all the corners.

'''CHRIS:''' Oh my gosh. I can't even...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I like finding all those tiny little thumbnails, now that are sitting around on our floor.

'''MIKE:''' There was a while where those were everywhere.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, hey. Let's let the chat people decide which Trogdor meeple we're gonna use. We got...

''{The various dragon Meeples are being clicked and dragged from a virtual sack to the board.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's pull them all out. We got, uh... ''{The Strong Sad's dragon meeple is brought to the board}'' Stupid Strong Sad's wingaling, uh... ''{the dragon is parked on a tile southwest of center.}''

'''ALEX:''' Chi-see-ar.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Excuse me, chiarascuro... ''{the meeple is moved to the western edge}'' uh, Trogdor. We got the ''{the original Trogdor is clicked and moved closer to Strong Sad's}'' classic Trogdor here. ''{Wormdingler is clicked and dragged to the southwest corner}'' We got creepo Coach Z's Wormdingler.

''{The board view shifts a few times. The DAGRON meeple is clicked and moved.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We got the... Strong Mad's DAGRON. ''{The DAGRON meeple is rotated to reveal the backside}'' And if we want to get secret, we got the Homsar's Taster's Choice, uh rendition of Trogdor.

''{The sketchy Trogdor meeple is clicked and dragged.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Got my notebook paper styles.

''{The S is for Sucks meeple is clicked and dragged.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And ''{singing}'' the S is for Sucks, the S is for Sucks. Clap Clap!

''{Various dragon meeples are clicked and dragged around all at the same time.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Anybody in the chats want to-to make some votes?

'''MAGGIE:''' All right, Shot. You're up.

''{All the dragons are taken off the gameboard except Strong Sad's.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Let's see... Strong Sad's.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Sad's?!

'''MAGGIE:''' No, I give you a lotta... DAGRON?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cheering quietly}'' DAGRON! DAGRON! DAGRON!

'''MAGGIE:''' One two three.. I'm trying to count, help! ...The Cheat? Somebody just says, "The Cheat".

'''CHRIS:''' A bunch of DAGRONs.

'''MAGGIE:''' And there's a bunch of DAGRONs.

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah.

'''MAGGIE:''' I'm pretty sure DAGRON's winning.

''{The DAGRON meeple is brought to the game board and flipped around to the front.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, here, let's see, let's do this. ''{The tile with DAGRON on it is out of alignment}'' Oop, we've got the oops, gotta go back, ''{the DAGRON meeple falls over}'' go back.

''{Chris laughs.}''

'''MIKE:''' I'll get the tile. I'll get the tile. ''{The tile is realigned}'' I'll get the tile.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is gonna be such a wonderful train wreck, everybody.

'''MIKE:''' I know, I'm nervous about wrecking everything.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here, wait. I'm gonna wreck something right now. With the Flick Tool! ''{picks up and drags the DAGRON meeple}'' Watch this! ''{The meeple is dropped}'' ''{whispering}'' Let's do the flick. Turn on Flick Mode!

''{A line is drawn from the DAGRON meeple to the edge of the game board. When released, the meeple flies across the game board and knocks over Strong Sad's dragon meeple, along with some peasants in the Trog-Meter.}''

'''STRONG BAD AND MIKE:''' OHHH! ''{the Strong Sad's dragon meeple is picked up and placed back on the board}'' Get outta here!

'''MAGGIE:''' I wanna flick stuff.

'''CHRIS:''' I wanna flick stuff.

'''MAGGIE:'''I didn't know we could do that!

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah, seriously. Why can't we do something new every time we do this?

''{The DAGRON meeple is being pushed around, messing up the center tiles.}''

'''MIKE:''' I whuh- I just got the this, and that was the first thing I saw, was the little Flick icon.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops.

''{The tiles are corrected.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, don't we... oh, it's a tie probably between Warm-dingler and DAGRON.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, calling him Warm-dingler is s-so much grosser than Wormdingler.

''{All the other players burst out laughing. Strong Bad smiles briefly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't want anyone to say "Warm-dingler" anymore.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, Warm-god-dang-dingler, Thomas says. He's...

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right.

'''MAGGIE:''' ...passionate.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ban him! He's beckin'. ''{Everyone laughs}'' No, not really. All right. Let's- we'll start with DAGRON, hey look, we can swap out during the game. It's not gonna be any... we can determine it right now.

'''MIKE:''' How about every time we take a hit, we can switch.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. Hey Mike, why don't you start uh... start handing out the Keepers and Items?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Everybody pick uh... pick a Keeper card and an Item card.

''{Cards are picked from the decks and dragged, arranged on the sides of the board.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, if you'd never seen this game before, everybody will play as a Keeper of Trogdor-

''{A stray card accidentally knocks over a knight.}''

'''MIKE:''' Oops, sorry. Somebody trick the whole deck.

'''CHRIS:''' Whoops.

'''MAGGIE:''' That's me.

'''MIKE:''' You just gotta... I'm just gonna take a top card.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now swipe quick.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just your base. ''{whispering}'' Where am I sittin'? I don't know where I'm sittin'. There we go. Fans, 73.

''{The cards are being flipped over.}''

'''MIKE:''' Flip over.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, and we can go around the table, oh so I was explaining that everybody plays as a Keeper of Trogdor who are like Trogdor's groupies. And that we all have a special item and these will enhance, alter our abilities on each turn. And as we try and get Trogdor to burninate the entire countryside, eat all the peasants, ''{singing with a flourish}'' and all the THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES! ''{Maggie giggles}'' Right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah!

'''ALEX:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' I flipped. I'm here for you, Strong Bad. I'm here for you, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Mike.

''{Everyone is laughing.}''

'''MIKE:''' All right, everybody...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll set the table, and everybody, uh yeah, has a Keeper and item and go around the table, who're we gonna start with?

'''MIKE:''' I'm gonna start.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay.

''{The card featuring Worchex is displayed.}''

'''MIKE:''' I am Worchex.

''{Zoom in closer to Mike's side of the virtual table. The card reappears.}''

'''MIKE:''' Which means that knights cannot repair cottages during my turn.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering}'' Stupid knights.

'''MIKE:''' And my item ''{the card is displayed}'' is the Ring of Voip, where I can jump with- uh, jump to any tile. And items, you can only use- they have to be recharged to use them a second time. Um, and the recharge is when a cottage or cottage tile is burninated.

''{The card disappears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay. And remember, you can only use those powers and items on your own- on your turn. Right, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' That's right. Use it on your turn, and the items you can only use once per turn.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Unless otherwise notèd.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Who's next?

'''MAGGIE:''' All right. I am the... ''{Keeper card is displayed}'' Galgabudge?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes.

'''MAGGIE:''' Galgabudge. Uh, you may treat mountain tiles as if they were also tunnels. And my shirt says "Go Troggie!". Think I can fly? I think I'm a bird.

''{Mike laughs. Maggie giggles. Strong Bad smiles.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Things are over.

'''CHRIS:''' Think you're... a goat-being thing.

'''MAGGIE:''' I think you're a goat-being thing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, those are- those are Fedlocks. Those are cloven hooves.

'''ALEX:''' I mean, obviously, you're a Galgabudge.

''{Maggie giggles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Exactly.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

'''MAGGIE:''' Exactly.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Didn't you read the Lore Manual before you started to playing this?

'''MAGGIE:''' I also have Two Gross Beans. ''{the card is displayed}'' Uh, I can use them to gain action points. And my recharge is when Trogdor visits a forest tile. Delicious.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. Next?

''{The card for Cranjegg is displayed.}''

'''ALEX:''' All right, I am... Cranjegg. And I may move diagonally because I cheat.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''ALEX:''' And I ''{item card is displayed}'' also have Ye Flask of Dennis, Use: When you burninate a peasant, add that peasant to Trogdor's health. Recharge: When Trogdor visits the lake.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's a sweet deal. Normally the peasants...

'''MIKE:''' ''{nodding}'' That's-that's one. That's a fine power.

'''StRONG BAD:''' ...go into the void.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

''{The Void card is brought to the table.}''

'''CHRIS:''' I am, uh, ''{Keeper card is displayed}'' Brovelade. ''{pronounced Bro-veh-LAHD}'' Uh, I guess that's how you say that. But um...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sure. Close enough.

'''CHRIS:''' Peasants- Close enough. Peasants cannot repair burninated tiles during my turn.

''{The Void card is displayed. It is set down back on the virtual table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right.

'''CHRIS:''' Cool.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, That's good.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's valuable.

'''CHRIS:''' And I have the ''{item card is displayed}'' Disk of Healing, which is a, uh, return a peasant from The Void to Trogdor's health.

'''MAGGIE:''' Ooh, that's a good one.

'''CHRIS:''' And it doesn't have a recharge. Yeah, ooh.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''CHRIS:''' No recharge, that's awesome.

'''MIKE:''' Only one time. That's great.

'''CHRIS:''' Sweet.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, the recharge- ''{The Disk of Healing is displayed again}'' that actually means uh, we changed that in the reprint of the game. It doesn't just say "none", it says "one time use only".

'''CHRIS:''' Oh. Only one use. Gotcha.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Exactly, yeah.

'''CHRIS:''' I was gonna say, that's really good.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Exactly. It's a being- I mean, the game would be pretty easy.

''{The Disk is displayed again.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, and I am Yubbitz. ''{Card is displayed}'' I may trade action cards with other players, either on their turn or mine.

'''CHRIS:''' Ooh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So I'm one of the only Keepers that can do stuff not on their turns. So everybody always paying attention to what I'm holding. I have ''{Item card is displayed}'' Distracto's Pouch! Which I wanted to name Distracto's Paunch, but they wouldn't let me.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' They!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, yeah. "They" meaning Mike and James. ''{Maggie laughs}'' They'd uh... staged a mutiny. The Paunch Mutiny of 2016, as we call it.

''{Maggie laughs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, after the movement card is drawn, if I do not like the direction of the peasant movement, I may move them in a different direction. And the recharge is when Troggie takes damage.

'''MIKE:''' Fantastic.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, now, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We got- everybody's gotta start with an action card 'cause we all...

'''MIKE:''' Yes, everybody draw one action card from the action deck here.

''{All the players are taking action cards to their respective sides of the virtual table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering}'' Swipe. Swipe it real fast.

'''MIKE:''' So this'll be banked, so you'll just- you'll always have one ''{a Sidewise card is displayed}'' and then on your turn, you'll draw a second one and choose between those two. Um... the action card has the number of action points that you'll be able to use on that turn.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And you were to tell everybody what those- what those actions are, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Actions. So an action... uh, Trogdor can move one tile, north, south, east or west is an action. He can burninate a tile that he's on.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, wait a second. Let's let Dumbstar answer for us.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh- okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can everybody hear the mu- oh, we can't hear it, is the tabletop simulator muted?

'''ALEX:''' Oh it is, yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's okay. Don't worry about it. Uh, let me see if I- lemme see if I can find him.

'''MIKE:''' We- we heard a song about his actions.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Homestar's voice is gonna come out of my face, it's gonna be terrifying.

''{Everyone chuckles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't think I can remember the song.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{gruffly}'' These are the actions that you can do on your turn when you playing the board game Trogdor!! The Board Game. You can move and chomp and hide or burrow, or even bur-ni-nate! Hey, that's pretty good.

'''MIKE:''' Nice job, Homestar.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That hurt my- that hurt my soul to do that, so I hope you guys ''{everyone laughs}'' appreciate me... letting myself get possessed.

'''ALEX:''' I'm- I didn't know that you could do such a good, uh Homestar voice. That was impressive.

'''MAGGIE:''' It was a little uncomfortable, but-

'''ALEX:''' It was. But it was impressive.

'''CHRIS:''' Oh yeah.

'''MAGGIE:''' It was.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Imagine being my larynx.

''{Everyone giggles.}''

'''MIKE:''' Um, so... yeah. So moving, burninating a tile, chomping a peasant. You chomp a peasant, it goes up into the Trog-meter, which is Trogdor's health. When you burninate a peasant, we- we put on the flame helmet and... it then, um, kinda runs around and burninates any tiles that it touches. But at the end of that, the peasant goes into the Void. ''{The Void card is displayed}'' And peasants that are in the Void, they are no longer potential health. So we don't want peasants going into the Void. ''{The Void card is displayed again}'' Um. Then you can hide on the two mountain tiles, uh, with one action. And that makes it be where Trogdor can't take damage on the knights' and archers' movements. Um, and then there's two tunnels. You can, um, ''{as he speaks, the DAGRON meeple begins to swell in size}'' warp from tunnel to tunnel, as an action, to get across the board quicker. Um... ''{The DAGRON meeple shrinks back down}'' I think that's it, right?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. Yeah I fell asleep.

''{Mike bursts into laughter.}''

'''MIKE:''' Let's- let's start. Let's start playing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, who's going first?

'''MIKE:''' Maggie, go first.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Down with you- Oh, Maggie's going first.

'''MAGGIE:''' Maggie's going first.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right so draw-

'''MAGGIE:''' So I draw a card.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yep.

'''MIKE:''' Draw a card.

''{A card is taken from the action deck to Maggie's side of the table.}''

'''MIKE:''' And then...

''{Screen scrolls to Maggie's edge of the table.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Open it.

''{First the backside is displayed, then the front side.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' So... ''{The card is "Slantwise"}'' I've got two actions, and it's ''{A Sidewise card is displayed}'' Slantwise and Sidewise.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, those are... those are sisters.

'''MAGGIE:''' They're the... that they are. Uh, once during Trogdor's action, he may burninate an... ''{The Sidewise card is put down and the Slantwise card is pictured}'' a diagonally adjacent tile for free. And it's got five action points. And then once during my action phase, I get to do an orthagonally adjacent tile for free. Also five actions.

''{The screen pans back to the center of the table.}''

'''MIKE:''' Okay, so that's just pretty similar. Just one's diagonal and one's... yeah.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah. I think...

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is the version where we still thought that "orthagonal"- putting the word "orthagonal" in a game was a good idea.

''{Everyone laughs.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Well, I was gonna say the same thing. But um... I'm gonna use... slantwise, so I can do diagonally.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' Don't forget about your Keeper and Item powers that you're also able to utilize.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{displaying her Keeper card, Galgabudge}'' Oh yeah, that's true. I may treat a mountain tiles as if they were also tunnels. And... ''{her Item, Two Gross Beans, is displayed}'' I can gain two action points. I might gain two action points. Where are we at? Hang on, I gotta move myself.

'''MIKE:''' We're in the middle there.

'''MAGGIE:''' Okay, cool.

'''MIKE:''' And so we're trying to basically, we gotta, you know, really decide which of these three cottages we wanna- we gotta start burninating cottages, so...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, and in order to burninate a cottage, you have to surround it with burnination, including the tile that it is also on.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, sure.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Before you can flip that.

'''CHRIS:''' This is a good one, over here in the corner.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the corner ones are the easiest, 'cause it's only like, four tiles.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' The one that's right next to it is... got an advantage 'cause we're right there already. Um...

'''MAGGIE:''' So... two...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I like Kirkman's advice.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Let's go for the corners. Corners.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, I think I'll go that way. So, ''{moving DAGRON west}'' one, ''{north}'' two, to move me.

'''MIKE:''' 'Kay.

'''MAGGIE:''' And then... I'm gonna burn this one.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Three.

'''ALEX:''' No, you don't burn it. You burninate it.

'''MAGGIE:''' I burninate it.

'''CHRIS:''' Burninate it.

'''MAGGIE:''' For... three. And I'm flipping it.

''{The tile is flipped. The burninated side is a darker, greyed-out shade of green.}''

'''MIKE:''' Okay, so that's three.

'''MAGGIE:''' And I'm gonna burninate this one for four. Oh no wait, I have to be on to burn.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Got to be on it first. Yep.

'''MIKE:''' ''{displaying the Slantwise card}'' You can use your Slantwise, will get you a diagonal one for...

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah. So I bet I'll go over here, ''{west}'' to do... ''{moving north instead of west, where a knight stands}'' actually, wait... I'm gonna go over here...

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, but that's a knight.

''{The other players tell her no.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' No no no.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You'll get sworded!

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{returning DAGRON to the west}'' Okay. Nope, then I go to the forest. And I flip this one...

''{The forest tile is flipped.}''

'''MIKE:''' Four.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I thought it was four, move, five, flippers.

'''MIKE:''' And then you got your free move.

'''MAGGIE:''' And then my free action is to flip- to burn diagonally.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

''{The tile where the knight stands is flipped.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do it.

'''MIKE:''' Nice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Give that knight a hotfoot!

'''MAGGIE:''' I give him the hotfoot.

''{Chris laughs. The Knight meeple is shaken on the tile.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whah! WHUUHAAAH! My gauntlets and pauldrons!

''{Everyone chuckles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What are the f- what are the feet called, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Uh... the feet?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Anyone know in... anybody in the chat know what knights... leggins are called? They're little, they're like booty things...

'''ALEX:''' Their booties?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

''{The other players giggle.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... ''{the Two Gross Beans card is displayed}'' Okay, that was a pretty good, that uh... cottage is quaking in its boots.

'''ALEX:''' Uh, do...

'''STRONG BAD:''' In its knightly boots.

'''ALEX:''' So I-I do believe though, um... Maggie has Two Gross Beans. ''{The Galgabudge card flashes briefly before showing Two Gross Beans again}'' which is plus two actions points. And you recharge when you visit a forest tile, and I believe you were visiting a forest tile ''{The forest that Maggie burninated is displayed}'' this turn.

'''MIKE:''' Whoa- wait, she can't recharge until she's u...

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' She used it already, right?

'''ALEX:''' Right, so she...

'''MAGGIE:''' Not yet. So I could move over here...

'''ALEX:''' She could just...

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{moving north to the corner cottage}'' I could just-

'''ALEX:''' So he's-

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah. Yeah yeah yeah.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, so if you started your turn by using it, can you save those action points to use them during the turn?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah. So we'll just say that like right, I'm adding two to my total.

'''MAGGIE:''' So, move, and then I'm burning here. Burn. ''{The cottage meeple is flipped.}'' Burninated.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The cottage- you gotta burninate the tile first.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, just the tile.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yep.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, you can't- we can't do the cottage just yet. ''{The cottage tile is flipped}'' So it's one to move, two to burninate, and then we'll- you can go ahead and consider your thing recharged 'cause you did visit the forest.

'''MAGGIE:''' Nice.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''MAGGIE:''' Awesome. It's done.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. Now we gotta let the bad guys do their thing. Now the countryside is going to fight back.

'''MAGGIE:''' "Greaves" are the leg armors.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Greaves! That's it!

'''CHRIS:''' Greaves.

'''MAGGIE:''' Greaves.

'''MIKE:''' Greaves, yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We even used that on one of our bonus cards we gave out at Gen Con,and I already forgot.

''{The other players laugh.}''

'''MIKE:''' Um, okay. So movement, movement card over here with the compass on it.

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh yeah.

''{The movement deck is clicked and dragged.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' No.

'''ALEX:''' Not the deck, not the deck. The card.

''{One card is clicked and moved into a designated compass rose space.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Got it.

''{The card is flipped over.}''

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Flippers!

'''MIKE:''' So... Peasants. ''{The card is displayed}'' To recharge peasants, there's one peasant up there...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Recharge? What are we talking about?

'''MIKE:''' To respawn, sorry. I said the word wrong. Reword.

''{The card is displayed again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Spawn. There's no "re".

'''MIKE:''' Spawn. Spawn peasants. We don't need to.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah. No more peasants.

'''MIKE:''' Peasants move south. ''{The peasant at center cottage is moved south}'' So thid guy moves south. ''{The tile with the south cottage is clicked}'' This one wrap- oops. ''{tile is dropped, then clicked again}'' No. ''{the peasant at the south cottage is wraparound moved to the north}'' This one wraps around and moves south. ''{The peasant at the corner cottage moves south}'' This one moves south. And then now, knights move... I can't see that. ''{Card is displayed. Movement is South-East-East-South-South}'' South...

'''ALEX:''' South.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapidly}'' South-East-East-South-South!

''{The knights are moved.}''

'''MIKE:''' South, wraparound east, east, south south.

'''CHRIS:''' East, east...

'''MIKE:''' okay, I did this guy.

'''CHRIS:''' East, south.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll do this guy. I'll do the archer.

''{The archer is moved.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' South, east, east... south, south.

'''CHRIS:''' Wait, wait, That was wrong. What, three? Yeah, right here.

''{The knight errant is placed on the center cottage tile.}''

'''CHRIS:''' My bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rotating the archer}'' And then...

'''MIKE:''' Archer shoots.

'''CHRIS:''' ''{moving knight one more south}'' And he has, uh, one more. Yeah, yeah,

''{One of the cursors shows the path of the arrow.}''

'''MIKE:''' And so the archer moves, uh, shoots... south. Down the middle column.

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's not hittin' anybody.

'''MIKE:''' Not hittin' anybody.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's good.

'''MAGGIE:''' Somebody asked, when you die, do you respond? Respawn, not respond.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, when you die, like in real life? I don't have those kinda answers!

''{Everyone laughs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, I-I kinda hope. I think reincarnation would be great. Re-in-spawn-ation.

'''MIKE:''' But the knight has moved through us, we take one damage.

'''MAGGIE:''' One damage.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Did the knight move through us?

'''MIKE:''' Don't think so. I was not... I-I-I wil admit that because we're using DAGRON, I wasn't really paying attention. but there's...

'''ALEX:''' Uh, he did not move through us. We are safe.

'''MAGGIE:''' No, right, he did not move through us. This guy wrapped around.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. So we need to swap 'im out, Mike, for-for Grampa, Mike.

''{Everyone laughs.}''

'''MIKE:''' Now I know.

'''CHRIS:''' Maybe we should put the Warm-dingler in.

''{Wormdinlger is clicked and dragged, but dropped.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No!

'''MIKE:''' Is it time to tag? Tag him out?

''{DAGRON is dragged out.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Tag him out.

''{Wormdinlger is swapped in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna flick the worm- the Warmdingler ''{Alex laughs}'' off the table. All right, fine.

'''MAGGIE:''' This a family-friendly channel, please don't flick your Wormdingler in front of everybody.

''{A menu is opened and a color map is brought up. A deep shade of red is selected. Wormdingler turns black and red.}''

'''MIKE:''' Um, who's next?

'''ALEX:''' There.

'''MIKE:''' Alex?

'''ALEX:''' Yes, he it. And now he is a Warm-dingler.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! How did his color scheme change?

'''MIKE:''' What happened?

'''CHRIS:''' Whoa.

'''MAGGIE:''' Wait, how did that...?

'''ALEX:''' Uh, you can right-click on it, and uh, you could do a color tint, and I tinted-tinted him red.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MAGGIE:''' It's worse.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Kind of awesome now. ''{Maggie laughs}'' I sort-of want to respect Wormdingler more. He's the Dark-dingler!

''{A new action card is drawn and flipped over.}''

'''ALEX:''' All right, so I got... I uh, flipped a card. ''{Sidewise is displayed}'' I have a Sidewise already, much like Maggie had. ''{A Wingaling card is displayed}'' And then I also have a Wingaling, which is four action points, but before Trogdor's actions, he may jump to any space.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I think... we gotta... yeah, but you can waste, we gotta burninate cottage first.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, right, yes. So, so I think I'm gonna use Sidewise.

''{The card is discarded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cheering, quietly}'' Cottage, cottage,

''{The Cranjegg card is displayed.}''

'''MIKE:''' And what are your uh, powers again?

'''ALEX:''' So, I can move diagonally. ''{Ye Flask of Dennis is displayed}'' And um, I can, when I burninate a peasant, I add the peasant's uh, to Trogdor's health.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh boo. That's always fun to watch.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' You could probably burninate a peasant.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, so uh, first action, is I am going to burninate this cottage that we're currently on.

''{The cottage meeple is flipped.}''

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yay!

'''ALEX:''' Flip. ''{Strong Bad cheers}'' Yay, burninated.

'''CHRIS:''' Sweet.

'''ALEX:''' There are no peasants here.

''{Strong Bad starts humming the Trogdor! theme.}''

'''MIKE:''' Okay, so that's one action.

'''ALEX:''' Mm-hm. So second action, uh, let's do some diagonal movement. One.

'''MIKE:''' Could move down and go to that peasant and burninate it.

'''ALEX:''' Oh, that's true. Hm.

''{Wormdingler is moved diagonally again to center tile.}''

'''MIKE:''' 'Cause otherwise we won't get to one.

'''MAGGIE:''' Somebody's asking how...

'''ALEX:''' Two.

'''MAGGIE:''' Hey, Strong Bad. How would you react if Dumpwad, Homestar, became intelligent?

''{Mike laughs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... He'd-he'd I'd done that before. He says "science". He just keeps saying "science" over and over again. ''{The center tile is flipped}'' And uh, and it's pretty funny. You can get him to do anything.

''{Wormdingler is moved south. The tile is flipped. Maggie laughs.}''

'''ALEX:''' And then my Sidewise I can use to burninate this peasant, right?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, ''{Sidewise card is displayed}'' Sidewise is just tiles, right?

'''ALEX:''' Uh, uh... yeah, you are right. Yeah, you're right. ''{The last tile is unburninated}'' So...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, you can't walk onto that knight.

''{The other two tiles are unburninated.}''

'''ALEX:''' That seems like a bad idea. Okay. Fine.

''{Wormdingler is moved back to the cottage.}''

'''ALEX:''' Uh, so I was here, cottage.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Boeing!

''{Everyone laughs.}''

'''ALEX:''' Yes. ''{The tile that was mistakenly flipped is burninated again}'' There we go.

'''MIKE:''' That was... yeah. Yeah so one action,

'''ALEX:''' So one action was burninate the cottage. ''{moving south}'' Two is over here. Three is to burninate the peasant.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yay!

'''ALEX:''' Yay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Light him up! ''{The flame helmet is placed on the peasant}'' Light him up real good. There he goes. Right.

'''MIKE:''' All right, so now we gotta flip a movement card.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This guy gets his own movement card. ''{A card is drawn}'' Just look at the movement path, not the peasant or peasant direction.

''{The card is flipped.}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, right here. So we're going... in... ''{the card is displayed. Path is West-North-North-East}'' What did that say? It's upside down from me.

'''CHRIS:''' It's over here.

'''ALEX:''' West, north north east.

''{The peasant is moved with wraparound to the east edge. The tile is flipped.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Yep, he runs here.

'''STRONG BAD:''' West! Flippers!

'''MIKE:''' North.

'''CHRIS:''' North.

'''STRONG BAD:''' North!

''{Tile is flipped.}''

'''MIKE:''' Flippers.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Flippers!

''{Peasant wraps around to the southeast corner.}''

'''CHRIS:''' North.

''{Tile is flipped.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Flippers on the la- ''{tile is unflipped}'' Oh, wait! But it's the lake, so he extinguishes himself. No!

''{Everyone says "No!" The flame helmet is put away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Doooj! What a jerk!

''{The Ye Flask of Dennis card is displayed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But.. so he doesn't even go into our health, we didn't... we didn't get any of the benefits except the...

'''MIKE:''' We got two- we burninated two tiles.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, uh...

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I suppose a net gain of two tiles.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, and I'd- I didn't have to use the Flask, so I still have it.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah. And the cottage.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You still got actions, right?

'''ALEX:''' Uh, I have currently used, uh... three. One to move, one to burninate a cottage, and one to burninate a peasant. um... so, I will ''{moves southeast}'' go here. I will for four, I will burninate this myself.

''{Tile is flipped.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah!

''{Alex laughs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Burning Wormdingler.

'''ALEX:''' And... uh, let's burninate this ''{the tile to the east is flipped}'' this tile, right here for my um, my free burninate.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''CHRIS:''' Nice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, now the bad guys, let's see what the countryside does.

''{Movement cards are drawn and flipped. A movement card is displayed.}''

'''ALEX:''' All right, got... three peasants.

'''MIKE:''' Three peasants. There're only...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dang.

'''MIKE:''' There're only three on the board, so we're good.

'''ALEX:''' Right.

''{Movement card is displayed again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right. 'Cause that guy got incinerated.

'''MIKE:''' He got extinguished.

'''ALEX:''' Mm-hm.

'''MIKE:''' They all move southeast.

'''ALEX:''' So... I'll grab this one.

''{The peasants on the board are moved to their respective tiles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Peow.

''{Movement card is displayed again.}''

'''ALEX:''' And then we have west-west-north-east-north.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly}'' Oh dang.

''{The knights are moved.}''

'''ALEX:''' West, west, north, oop, east, north.

''{During the movement path, the knight has passed through Wormdingler.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh!!

'''CHRIS:''' Take a hit!

'''MIKE:''' West, west, north, east, north.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll do the archer. ''{The archer is moved}'' West, west, north, east, north. ''{The archer is pointed directly at Wormdingler}'' Oh, n-no!

'''ALEX:''' Oh no.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pchew! Arrowed! It's a double hit!

'''ALEX:''' Ow.

'''MIKE:''' So we took two hits?

'''ALEX:''' Two hits.

''{A peasant is taken from the Trog-meter and placed on The Void.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' One peasant into the Void. ''{Another peasant is moved}'' Two peasants into the Void. Hang on, I'm gonna flick them, 'cause I'm angry at them.

''{Strong Bad flicks the peasants. The peasants go flying.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Stupid peasants! Pchoo!

'''MAGGIE:''' Somebody wants to know how Strong Bad can use Tabletop Simulator with boxing gloves.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mocking}'' How do you start it with boxing gloves? ''{peasants are restored to the Void}'' I'm like to turn this blah-blah.

''{Maggie giggles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's my answer to that.

''{Everyone chuckles.}''

'''MIKE:''' All right, are we ready?

'''CHRIS:''' Uh, yep, I'm ready. Here we go.

'''MIKE:''' Here we go, all right. You can...

'''CHRIS:''' ''{drawing a card and flipping it over}'' ...flip that over there.

''{The card displayed is Invisibility.}''

'''CHRIS:'' All right, em- ooh. Let me see what that does. Invisibility, Trogdor can't be hurt by knights during his actions this turn. Or Slantwise.

''{The Slantwise card is displayed.}''

'''MIKE:''' Invisibility.

''{As Maggie speaks, someone is drawing Strong Bad and other character meeples from the red sack.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh, somebody's asking if... if the peasant who was entered into the space with the burninated cottage should have caught fire.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, did a peasant walk onto a burninated cottage?

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, right here, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I haven't been paying attention.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' How could we forget the best part? And that was on your turn too, right?

''{A movement card is displayed.}''

'''ALEX:''' Uh, it was.

'''MIKE:''' It just- it just happened. Yeah.

'''ALEX:''' He did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So we could save this peasant. Let's light him up!

''{A flame helment automatically appears on the peasant in the corner.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, so wait. Before we move forward, Kirkwin, pause.

'''CHRIS:''' Sure. Pause.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We're going back- we're half-half Mulligan.

'''CHRIS:''' Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{flipping a movement card}'' Let's see. We're gonna flip this guy over. ''{The card is displayed}'' All right, who wants to do the honors and move this peasant?

'''MIKE:''' I'm gona move him.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, So he's gonna go, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's going West. ''{The peasant is moved with each direction called}'' West.

'''MIKE:''' ''{flipping a tile}'' All right, flippers.

'''STRONG BAD:''' South.

'''MIKE:''' ''{moving peasant and flipping tile}'' South.

''{Once the tile is flipped, the peasant already on that tile catches fire.}''

'''ALEX:''' Oh no.

'''MIKE:''' It's a chain reaction.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Chain reaction!

''{Maggie rubs her hands together with glee.}''

'''MIKE:''' Okay, let's finish this one.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, and then east-south.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, east-south.

''{The last tile is flipped.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, that... he goes back to the Trog-meter. Because... ''{The Ye Flask of Dennis is displayed}'' you're gonna use flas- Flask of Dennis, right? Because you're awesome.

'''ALEX:''' ''{deactivating his item card}'' Yes.

''{The peasant is taken to the Trog-meter.}''

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweet. All right, like turn off his little... munchins.

'''MIKE:''' All right, now this guy.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now the second one. Light him up! Here we go, another one. ''{A movement card is flipped and displayed.}'' You guys, this is fantastic.

''{Chris laughs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, this one's gonna go east-east-north-north.

'''ALEX:''' He'll be fine. Oh no.

'''MIKE:''' ''{moving peasant}'' East, east, north north.

''{This movement path causes the peasant to cross a burning cottage.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, didn't he... no wait, if he ends his turn on a flaming cottage, right? Is that when he gets re-ignited?

''{The tile that the peasant stands on is flipped.}''

'''MIKE:''' Eeh... yes.

''{Strong Bad begins to sing absently. Maggie is jamming to the song.}''

'''MIKE:''' This one does go into the Void, right?

''{The Ye Flask of Dennis is displayed.}''

'''ALEX:''' Ah, yes. Because, uh...

'''MIKE:''' Can only do it once.

'''ALEX:''' My Flask is not recharged.

'''CHRIS:''' Your Flask of Dennis.

'''ALEX:''' Yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, but does it- no wait, it's just once per turn?

'''ALEX:''' Uh... When you burninate a peasant, add that peasant to Trogdor's health. And then recharge when Trogdor visits the lake. I did not visit the lake.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, it's all burnination, yeah yeah yeah.

''{Ye Flask of Dennis is flashed. The peasant goes into the Void, then into the Trog-meter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I think we made that clearer in the final game. Than this.

'''ALEX:''' Cool.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Than this jank. Than this jank-o-vision game version.

''{Alex laughs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jank-o-vision version.

''{Coach Z's meeple is taken out from a sack and planted next to Wormdingler.}''

'''ALEX:''' Well, I'm not complaining.

'''MAGGIE:''' Someone wants to know if Trog- oh, if Strong Bad, do you ever take off your boxing gloves, or are they literally just your hands? Also...

''{As Strong Bad talks, Wormdingler's color scheme is messed around with.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, I ans- I addressed this in the very first Strong Bad Email that I ever made in 2002. ''{Wormdingler's color returns to default}'' These are my hands. I have biological boxing gloves, ad they biological wrestling mask for a face and head. All right? ''{Maggie and Alex laugh}'' You guys have to deal with it. Have you noticed how like, nobody in my world has arms, or legs? Or mouths? I feel like I'm the less- the least... like...

'''MAGGIE:''' Alarming?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, exactly.

''{The Coach Z meeple is being played with.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm trying to get Coach Z to ride Wormdingler, but he won't stay on.

''{Everyone laughs.}''

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's do it like this. ''{zoom in on Coach Z and Wormdingler}'' He's gonna surf on him. It's just gonna surf on him.

'''MAGGIE:''' Can you "go Dennis" in a game?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, yes you can go Dennis in this game. There's actually...

'''MIKE:''' One card. There's a secret card, yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' A Dennis card, that uh... that we may, we may draw at some point.

''{Wormdingler is now stacked on top of Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Actually, I don't know.

'''MIKE:''' I don't think it's in this version.

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's not in the print-and-play.

'''MIKE:''' Oh no.

'''STRONG BAD:''' In the final game.

'''MIKE:''' These cards are from the game, though. The movement cards, like are from the game.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know. All right.

'''MIKE:''' Anyway.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Back to curtain.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We got side-tracked.

'''CHRIS:''' There we go. Uh, well our hair-elth looks pretty good. Uh, I don't think I'm gonna use Invisibility this turn. I think I'm gonna use Slantwise.

''{Slantwise is briefly flashed, then discarded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Listen to that strategizing. ''{Chris laughs}'' He's actually thinking about it.

''{Everyone laughs.}''

'''CHRIS:''' It's amazing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm totally phoning this in.

'''CHRIS:''' ''{laughing}'' If I was to burninate this tile with the knight on it, it doesn't do anything, right? It just burninates the tile.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' If you use it... yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're using your...

'''CHRIS:''' I would use my Slantwise for that. ''{flips tile to northeast of Wormdingler}'' Yes. And burninate. Okay, that's my free burninate and I got five left, so let's go... ''{moving Wormdingler east}'' one, ''{south}'' two, ''{flips tile}'' burninate, ''{east}'' three. ''{flips tile}'' burninate, four... hang on, I did one, two, three, four five. That's my movements. Okay. Um, and then we do the thing.

''{A movement card is drawn, flipped and displayed.}''

'''CHRIS:''' The bad guys. All right.

'''MIKE:''' Four peasants, so... what are there, only one on the board?

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

'''MAGGIE:''' Someone standing in the lake. She has boat shoes. We decided. ''{Chris laughs}'' We need to...

'''MIKE:''' They can only spawn at unburninated cottages, so only two can come out. One at each of the unburninated cottages.

''{Peasants are spawned. One peasant is spawned from the Void.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh. ''{picking up the tile with the cottage and the mis-spawned peasant}'' Oops.

'''ALEX:''' That's not out of the Void.

'''CHRIS:''' Not out of the Void. Not out of the Void, sorry. Excuse me.

'''ALEX:''' The Void is the Void once you're in the Void.

''{The peasant is returned to the Void.}''

'''CHRIS:''' The Void is the Void.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, you can't leave the Void.

'''ALEX:''' You cannot leave the Void.

'''MIKE:''' Although... who could- somebody can bring it back from the Void right? One...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Kirkman!

'''ALEX:''' Yes.

'''MAGGIE:''' Kirkman?

'''STRONG BAD:''' But only one time.

'''CHRIS:''' Uh, one time, yes.

''{The Disk of Healing is displayed.}''

'''MIKE:''' Uh, okay. So... then where do they move? They move east.

''{The card is displayed.}''

'''CHRIS:''' East, yeah.

''{The peasants are moved.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, Mike. It's... Oh wait, that's the wrong way direction.

'''MIKE:''' Not yet, not yet.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not yet. I'm so close.

'''MIKE:''' We need this guy. This guy's been moved.

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, he's been moved. Yep.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, so all three of them have been moved.

'''CHRIS:''' Yes.

'''MAGGIE:''' So, the designer of this um... tabletop simulator setup wants to know if you could shout out his for his birthday? Birthday shoutout?

''{As she speaks, one of the peasants swells dramatically in size.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's right! Everybody. Marcus made this awesome mod that we're playing and he's even tweeted for this uh, stream specifically and added like, all the Trogdor meeples, and all the Homestar meeples, and it's his birthday! So everybody in the chat say "Happy Birthday Marcus thanks for making such an awesome tabletop simulation modded... thing"!

'''ALEX:''' Happy birthday, Marcus. ''{The other players wish him a happy birthday as well}'' Thank you for making such an awesome tabletop simulation thing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good job. Alex, I think you nailed that.

''{Everyone laughs. The peasant continues to grow bigger.}''

'''MIKE:''' Um, okay, so knights move, right?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing to the tune of "Happy Birthday"}'' Giant peasant to you. ''{The peasant is now half the size of the game board and is pushing the nearby cottage aside}'' Giant peasant to you. Let's see if we can crash the mod. ''{The Trogdor meeple is briefly brought in}'' Giant peasant to yooooouuuu!!

''{As the song ends, the peasant starts to shrink back down with the Trogdor meeple on its head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, I'm bringing it back down.

'''MIKE:''' Are you done, Strong B'd?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm done. I'm done. ''{The displaced cottage is restored to its tile}'' I wanted to say thanks. I'm so sorry I took so long, Marcus. You rule.

''{The peasant continues shrinking. The Trogdor meeple on its head comes tumbling down. The Trogdor meeple is set aside.}''

'''MIKE:''' Um, so knights move. What is this?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mike is all business. Look at him, he's right back in the game.

'''CHRIS:''' Uh, north-north...

'''STRONG BAD:''' No fun for Mike.

'''MIKE:''' All right, I'm gonna move this knight.

'''CHRIS:''' Yep, north-north.

'''MIKE:''' ''{the knight moves}'' North, north, west.

'''CHRIS:''' West, west.

'''MIKE:''' West.

'''CHRIS:''' North.

''{A color editor is brought out. Strong Sad's dragon meeple turns red.}''

'''MIKE:''' North. Okay, and then this guy...

''{The second knight is moved.}''

'''CHRIS:''' North-north.

'''MIKE:''' North, north.

'''CHRIS:''' West-west.

'''MIKE:''' West-west.

'''CHRIS:''' North.

'''MIKE:''' North. Okay, for the archer, ''{the archer is moved. As it is, Coach Z is randomly planted on the game board}'' north-north, west-west, north. And he shoots. Up and down. Along the bottom.

'''CHRIS:''' Sweet.

'''MIKE:''' So hide kong. Okay, so no damage. I can't remember where we are. Oh, right, we're Wormdingler.

''{A flick line appears on Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get rid of Coach Z here. Sorry, everybody.

''{Coach Z is flicked all the way off the game board to the very corner edge of the table. He knocks over the red meeple sack along the way.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Somebody wants to know where The Cheat is? He's- he's right here.

''{The Cheat's meeple is picked up and planted on the game board.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. There he is. Come here little buddy. Come here little buddy.

''{The Cheat is moved off the game board. Maggie laughs.}''

'''ALEX:''' Yeah. Uh, Kirkman, did you- do you want to use the Disk of Healing before you end your turn?

'''CHRIS:''' Uh, no. Oh, well. Oh well, well we're down to three, but... I don't think we're quite there yet.

'''ALEX:''' I mean, but...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{motioning to two peasants adjacent to Wormdingler's tile}'' These guys are close by. We could probably do some chompin's.

'''CHRIS:''' Chomping.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah, yeah that's true.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, so everybody's done. Is it my turn, finally?

'''MIKE:''' Yep, your turn.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, sweet deals.

''{A card is drawn.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Doot-doot-doo... ''{flips card}'' Let's flip it over. ''{The card displayed is a Block card.}'' Oh, let's flip it over. ''{The image grows bigger}'' Mike's gonna flip it over. I got Block. That one's four, and oh yeah, we always- we forgot to tell everybody, that if you don't like either of your cards, you can always discard, have no extra powers, and uh, you get five action points.

'''MIKE:''' Five action points. Yeah.

''{A Smell the Daises card is displayed.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' So, Neato King Zero-Four-Two says the Troghammer card should be shuffled into the action deck after Trogdor took damage.

'''MIKE:''' Yes! We took damage.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, man I wanted to play with no Troghammer!

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{shaking her head}'' That's too bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, fine. ''{Maggie giggles}'' We shoulda done that like... turn, many turns ago.

''{Everyone chuckles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's okay.

'''CHRIS:''' Two turns ago.

'''ALEX:''' Two draws ago, yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, just two. Okay. Um, should I put my card back in case I- in case I draw a Troghammer?

'''MIKE:''' It's up to you, Strong Bad.

''{Strong Bad's Block card is placed on a virtual tablet with the Trogdor!! Rulebook EP on it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll be- I'll be honest. ''{putting the card back into the action deck}'' You go back in. Drop back in there. ''{Two of the corner tiles are messed up}'' Shuffle around.

'''MIKE:''' Oh no! I started shuffling those cards.

''{The other players all laugh as the tiles and meeples are set back right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, you can shuffle the whole countryside! ''{Everyone laughs}'' All right, ''{flipping over a new action card}'' now I got this guy. What've we got? Okay. Block. Did not draw Troghammer.

''{The Block card is displayed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{placing card with his item cards}'' Thanks for telling us how to play our own game since we clearly don't know. Thank you, everybody.

''{The other players laugh.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We're trying to make it fun times. Uh, let's see, so I got Smell the Daisies or Block. Um, I can trade action cards, uh, with other players. So if anybody's got something they want to give me. Mike, you got...

'''MIKE:''' I got Shot Put.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shot Put, that's a pretty good one. Um, ''{the Ring of Voip is displayed}'' we could get very close to burninating uh, ''{indicating central cottage}'' this cottage this turn if I ''{the Shot Put card is displayed}'' had some more actions to- to work with.

'''MAGGIE:''' I got Sidewise. ''{The Wingaling card is displayed}'' Which is five action points.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh.

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah. Mine is not gonna help you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, let's see. Sidewise I could get this stump ''{indicating stump tile adjacent to Wormdingler}'' or the uh... possibly...

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah.

'''ALEX:''' Oh yeah.

'''MIKE:''' If you get that stump with Sidewise you can definitely go for that cottage.

'''ALEX:''' Mm-hm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Maggie. Let's see, what do you want? I'm gonna give you Smell the Daisies.

''{Cards are exchanged across the table.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Deal.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. Sweet. And I'm gonna play my Sidewise, here. ''{The action card is discarded. The Sidewise card is displayed}'' And, where am I? Okay, so I'll- oh, ''{indicating adjacent stump tile}'' should I go ahead and do this one? For free?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' At the beginning? ''{flips tile}'' All right, we'll flip it that one, and now I got five actions. So... ''{moving Wormdingler north}'' I'll just go one, ''{flips tile}'' two, flippers, ''{flips cottage meeple}'' three! Burninate! ''{east}'' Four over here! And then, uh, I dunno. What've we got? Three...

'''MIKE:''' Chompers.

'''STRONG BAD:''' He should eat some peasants, right?

'''ALEX:''' Yeah. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' It's all burnination around him.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whining}'' Okay, if everybody wants to play it safe.

''{Everyone laughs. The peasant is taken to the Trog-Meter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, fine. I had a fine meal of peasant.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, don't forget, you got, um, Distracto's Pouch here.

''{Distracto's Pouch card is displayed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, so I- if I don't like where the peasants are goin'... all right, let's see what we've got. Flip 'ems.

''{A movement card is displayed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, no peasants! That's sweet! And the one that's there moves west and repairs, but ''{moves Peasant to the lake tile in the southeast corner}'' that will just be to the lake.

''{The other peasant is moved to the unburninated southern cottage.}''

'''MIKE:''' There are two here.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And to this.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, yeah, yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gotta add this, too. Um, this guy is uh, he's gonna dive. ''{The peasant meeple is flipped upside-down}'' Dive!

''{Maggie giggles. Alex giggles too.}''

'''MIKE:''' We could have, um, Strong Bad?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What could we have done, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' You could have-

'''STRONG BAD:''' What did I do wrong this time, coach?

'''MIKE:''' You- you could've made a peasant go into the burninated cottage ''{a color editor is brought up, changing the palette to blue}'' and light itself on fire.

'''MAGGIE:''' That's true.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mulligan! Mulligan! Quick! ''{moving the peasant from the lake back to the southwestern corner}'' Quick, everybody!

'''MIKE:''' You can manke them move north. Or wait, south, I mean. Right?

'''STRONG BAD:''' South.

'''ALEX:''' Oh, yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's do it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, so... yeah, I'm going to...

'''MIKE:''' Okay, wait, let's move both peasants south.

''{The peasants are wraparound-moved to the northern border. The Distracto's Pouch card is displayed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Use my Distracto's Paunch.

''{Two Distracto's Pouch cards are displayed.}''

'''MIKE:''' South... and this guy goes south... so he goes to that and lights himself on fire.

''{The peasant gains a flame helmet.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay. All right, see. Thank you, Mike. You saved us, I thought I was gonna have a boring turn.

'''MIKE:''' I know. ''{Everyone laughs}'' You usually have got boring moves.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now it gets... gets to be great.

''{The next movement card is displayed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, let's see. Now he's gonna go. What is that? East, south-south, east.

''{The burninated peasant is moved, but none of the tiles are flipped.}''

'''MIKE:''' South, south, nothing!

'''ALEX:''' Nothing. Aw...

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was the most boring thing I've ever seen! ''{Alex laughs}'' And he goes to the Void!

''{The peasant is taken to the Void.}''

'''ALEX:''' No!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Mike! Now how would we doin', Coach of the Year?

''{Everyone laughs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't listen to Mike anymore.

'''MIKE:''' All I did was make a suggestion, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You made it, you- you- you forced my hand! ''{Mike laughs}'' This is live! With an audience! You thought they were gonna revolt ''{the Yubbitz card is displayed}'' if I didn't do it! ''{Everyone bursts into laughter}'' This is all your fault!

'''MIKE:''' We're still in good shape.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. So wait, we gotta- we gotta- we forgot to look at this guy. ''{Strong Bad recovers a previously discarded movement card}'' We still have to move the knights in everybody's...

''{The movement card is displayed.}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh, that was uh, right. I forgot you were drawing another card.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So now, what are we doin'? North-north, east-east. For knights and archers.

''{The knights and archers are moved.}''

'''MIKE:''' North-north, east-east.

'''MAGGIE:''' I heard the meeple peasants taste like cornflakes? Can Strong Bad confirm?

'''MIKE:''' North, north, east, east.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, they taste like Captain Vitaman. Or King Vitaman. 'Scuse me. Captain Crunch and King Vitaman had a baby and ''{cracking up}'' his name is Captain Vitaman Cereal.

''{The other players crack up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's the cheapest cereal ever made.

''{Everyone laughs.}''

'''MIKE:''' All right. Archers shot, knights moved, no damage, correct?

'''ALEX:''' Yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We're good.

''{The movement card is discarded.}''

'''MIKE:''' Um, okay. So my turn?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sure.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

''{An action card is drawn and brought to Mike's side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, you go, Mike, I'm-a set up um, some uh... Homestar bowling over here if that's okay with you.

''{As he spoke, four of the dragon meeples have been grouped together in the rear, while the Strong Bad, Strong Mad and Strong Sad meeples are set up in front of them.}''

'''MIKE:''' Summon the Troghammer.

''{The Troghammer card is briefly flashed. Then the Worchex card is displayed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?!

'''MIKE:''' That means Troghammer just comes out.

''{The Summon Forth Yon Trog-Hammer card is displayed as the Troghammer meeple is taken from the Trog-meter.}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{as the Troghammer is spawned in the center}'' So he comes out to the middle tile.

''{The DAGRON meeple is moved to join the other dragons. The Troghammer meeple is displayed. The card is then discarded.}''

'''MIKE:''' And... gotta put that there. ''{As Mike is speaking, Strong Bad flicks Strong Mad, knocking down all the other meeples. Another action card is drawn}'' And I draw another one. ''{The card is flashed too quickly to see. The Ring of Voip card is displayed.}'' And it is wraparound. So I have Shot Put and ''{the Wraparound card is displayed}'' Wraparound. Wraparound gives me wraparound movement ''{the Shot Put card is displayed}'' which might be helpful because we're right here on the edge. And Shot Put...

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{as the red Strong Sad dragon meeple vanishes}'' Put it back in the bag, I'm sorry.

'''MIKE:''' ''{reading the Shot Put card}'' After all Trogdor's actions, he may burninate from up to 2 tiles away.

''{As Mike is speaking, the meeples are being set up again on the side of the board.}''

'''MIKE:''' So I sort-of shoot a fireball from up to something else. A tile or a cottage or peasant. Um... let's see. Maybe you should just go down to this cottage, right?

'''CHRIS:''' Seems good.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm-I'm busy.

'''MIKE:''' Now... let's see. ''{Chris laughs}'' Wraparound's not gonna... no, Shot Put. I think Shot Put would all be good.

''{The red meeple bag has been moved out of the way as the character meeples have been set up in formation.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We'd love to listen to you think, Mike. If you could just continue doing that for a while.

''{The other players giggle.}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh! I've got Ring of Voip. ''{The Ring of Voip card is displayed}'' I could start on any tile. So, I forgot.

'''ALEX:''' Oh, that's true, yeah.

'''MAGGIE:''' Strong Bad, did you ever get around to finishing your amusement park?

'''MIKE:''' Let's see. Ring of Voip...

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's sort-of- what are you talking about? It was awesome! The Riverquest Safariventure was the crown jewel!

''{Wormdingler is moved to the same tile as the Archers.}''

'''MIKE:''' I'm gonna Voip... 'cause we need this one to get that cottage. And I don't take damage if I'm on the same tile as the Archer.

'''CHRIS:''' Mm-hm.

'''MIKE:''' Um, so. Let's see. I'm going to flip my...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Riverquest Safariventure voice}'' Everybody watch Mike, Mike's about to play a turn. What is it gonna be a really good turn, it's called turn of Trogdorrr.

''{A card is discarded.}''

'''MIKE:''' And I'm gonna use Shot Put. ''{The Shot Put card is displayed.}'' Five actions.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Riverquest Safariventure voice}'' He's gonna use Shot Put. EVerybody get ready to experience the fury of... Shot Puuut.

'''MIKE:''' ''{flipping Wormdingler's tile}'' This one.

''{Everyone mumbles "one". Wormdingler is moved south, and the tile is flipped.}''

'''MIKE:''' Three. Wait a minute.

''{Pause. Seven of the character meeples are in formation and are being adjusted.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Somebody listening to music?

'''MIKE:''' I'm gonna not do that.

''{The tile is reverted to green.}''

'''MIKE:''' Got one, two. Then we're gonna go... ''{Wormdingler is moved East to the cottage.}'' three.

'''CHRIS:''' Sounds like... sounds like a crowd cheering.

'''MAGGIE:''' It does.

''{Wormdingler is moved east.}''

'''MIKE:''' Four. ''{Tile is flipped}'' Five, burninate this, and then shot put, I'm gonna go over back to this tunnel and burninate that for my Shot Put.

''{The tunnel tile previously unburninated is flipped. Now, nine of the character meeples are in bowling pin formation. Bubs and Strong Bad are not there. Pom Pom is in front of the rest.}''

'''MIKE:''' So I'm settin' up... Maggie for that cottage.

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah.

'''ALEX:''' Ooh.

'''MAGGIE:''' Heck yes.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, we were- just got that tile and the cottage.

''{Homestar is put at the front of the formation, with Bubs now taking his place.}''

'''MIKE:''' To go. Okay, so, movements. ''{A movement card is drawn}'' Of the knights and archers and... ''{The card is flipped and displayed}'' Let's see. Um... There are what? Just one on the board?

'''ALEX:''' Just-just one on the board, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' So three want to spawn, but he can only spawn on the unburninated cottages ''{indicating the single cottage in the south}'' so only one spawns. ''{A peasant is spawned there}'' Right there. Okay. And they... ''{the movement card is displayed again}'' both move northwest. ''{The peasants are moved}'' So he will go here. This guy... will go northwest up to there.

''{The peasant is wraparound moved to the southern cottage tile. When planted, it lands on the cottage meeple, falling over and knocking down Wormdingler.}''

'''MIKE:''' Oops.

'''ALEX:''' Aw.

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, no.

''{Wormdingler is set upright again.}''

'''MIKE:''' And the knights will move east-east, ''{movement card is displayed again}'' north-north-north. Is that right? It's small for me.

'''ALEX:''' Yes. East-east, north-north-north.

'''MIKE:''' ''{moving knight}'' East, east, north, north, north. ''{moving second knight}'' And east, east, north-north-north.

'''ALEX:''' Uh-oh.

'''MIKE:''' ''{moving archers}'' Archers. East, east, north north north.

'''ALEX:''' Uh oh.

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, dang. ''{the archers finish moving}'' Oh dang!

'''MIKE:''' Then he shoots east-west.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No. He went north-north.

''{The archer is rotated. It is pointing directly at Wormdingler.}''

'''MIKE:''' North. Yes. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Yeah. Um... so we hit.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Everybody go- everybody, on the count of three everyone yell "arrowed"! One-two-three.

'''EVERYONE:''' ARROWED!

''{A peasant is removed from the Trog-meter and moved to the Void.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, dang.

'''MIKE:''' Takes another hit.

'''ALEX:''' ''{displaying the movement card again}'' And uh, Troghammer still needs to move as well, right?

'''MIKE:''' Oh. And the Troghammer moves.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Trog-ham. ''{singing}'' He's the Trog-HAM-A!!

''{The Troghammer is moved.}''

'''MIKE:''' North... ''{The Troghammer's first move is east, which leads him to a burninated cottage}'' Normally, the Troghammer would repair this cottage, but I'm Worchex. And knights cannot repair cottages during my turn. So.

'''CHRIS:''' Nice.

'''ALEX:''' Nice.

'''MIKE:''' ''{Continuing movement}'' East. North, north, north.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We are paying some attention. A modicum of attention is being paid.

'''MIKE:''' All right. Maggie.

''{The Troghammer, which is on the lake tile, is flipped upside-down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, hang on. Can I- can we take a time-out to do a us...uh...

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, here we go.

'''STRONG BAD:''' A frame or two of Homestar meeple bowling over here on the side-yard.

''{The frame shifts to the edge of the board. Ten of the Homestar meeples are set up in a triangular formation like bowling pins. The other two, Pom Pom and Strong Bad, are lined up at the edge of the table.}''

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know if you guys could focus over here.

'''ALEX:''' Yes, we are focused over there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, it's the tenth frame, and Strong Bad is bowling. He switched to a Pom Pom-pound ball, for this final frame. And uh, he's going to see if he can uh, pick up- he needs to pick up a spare in order to win the championship.

''{A flick line is drawn.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's see. Come on, come on... ''{Strong Bad's voice sounds distant, as if he dropped his mike}'' Whut-hut- hang on... hang on...

''{Alex laughs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There we go. Ready?

''{Pom Pom is flicked into the meeples. All the meeples are knocked over except for Coach Z on the left edge.}''

'''EVERYONE:''' OHH!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Coach Z's the holdout! All right, hang on.

''{The knocked-over meeples are picked up and placed further away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, Mike, you're my pin-setter.

''{The Pom Pom meeple is dragged back to the Strong Bad meeple's location.}''

'''MIKE:''' Here are these off. All right, just gotta get Coach Z.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, I'm gonna put a little English on Pom Pom. This time.

'''MIKE:''' Is that the seven or the ten?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I-I don't know, Mike. Ask the chats.

'''CHRIS:''' The seven.

'''MIKE:''' We'll say seven. Yeah.

''{A flick line is drawn.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I trust Kirkman. The Kirk-Manatee. Here we go.

''{Pom Pom is flicked. Maggie giggles. Coach Z is knocked away. Everyone cheers.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Picks it up! Strong Bad wins the Homestar meeple bowling championship! That was totally worth me not paying attention for like the last five minutes!

''{Everyone bursts into laughter.}''

'''MIKE:''' Uh, it's Maggie's turn?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now it's Maggie's turn. Sorry, Maggie.

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh yeah, now it's my turn.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Extra man.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, so...

'''MAGGIE:''' Someone just called attention to the shark behind me. Don't worry, he's, uh, domesticated. So, there's no worries there. And...

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's creepin'. He's totally creepin' on you.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah. He... there's a cat behind him, too. ''{a card is drawn}'' Um, she's not domesticated. She's actually mean. Let's see... I drew... Shot Put.

''{A Smell the Daises card is flashed.}''

'''MIKE:''' All right, same as I have.

''{A Shot Put card is displayed.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' No. ''{unintelligible mumbles}'' Okay. I'll play that 'cause it gives me five actions and also, we have so many things that are far away.

'''MIKE:''' You got Two Gross Beans.

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh, I do have Two Gross Beans, too.

''{The Two Gross Beans card is displayed.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Um... Okay, so, first action, is gonna be to move ''{Wormdingler is moved west to the cottage. The action card is discarded}'' over here.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, one.

'''MAGGIE:''' And... burn.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...ninate.

''{Tile is flipped.}''

'''MAGGIE AND STRONG BAD:''' Ninate.

'''MAGGIE:''' Burninate.

'''MIKE:''' Two.

'''MAGGIE:''' Two. And then also burninate the cottage.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes!

'''MIKE:''' Three.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All three cottages, fried!

'''MAGGIE:''' Burninate... Flip. ''{Wormdingler is flipped upside-down}'' Nope, not me!

''{Alex giggles. Wormdingler is set upright. Maggie giggles, too.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{removing Wormdingler from the game board}'' Let's see if I can do it. Okay. Uh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Think it's time to ''{cottage is flipped}'' swap out Wormdingler, by the way, you guys.

''{Wormdingler is set aside with the other meeples. The other players all agree.}''

'''CHRIS:''' We can bring in somebody else.

'''MAGGIE:''' So...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's bring- Let's bring... the S is for Sucks Dragon.

''{The S is for Sucks Dragon takes Wormdingler's place at the burninated cottage.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Three.

'''MIKE:''' That's three. So we gotta bring- let's chomp, we only got two peasants, we should chomp that peasant, probably.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah. Let's chomp him. ''{peasant is taken to Trog-meter}'' Four.

'''ALEX:''' So did we chomp that peasant before we burninated the college- cottage?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that would've set him on fire.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, ah, yes. We should do that, because we don't want him to burninate. We did that before .

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. And most of the tiles are burninated, he would do a whole lot of damage.

'''MAGGIE:''' so that was four... um, and then I can move... ''{west}'' one. More. Oh, I can do two more actions with my beans.

'''MIKE:''' Yes, so if you got- that's five.

'''MAGGIE:''' Five.

'''MIKE:''' So if you got two more, you could chomp that- go up and chomp that other peasant.

''{The S is for Sucks Dragon is moved north.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, let's do that. ''{The dragon is dropped and tumbles over sideways on the next tile}'' Delicious. Peasant.

''{The peasant is taken to the Trog-Meter.}''

'''ALEX:''' Aww.

'''MAGGIE:''' Ohwh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Stomped him!

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{setting the dragon upright}'' I stomped him. And then from two away, I can, uh, burninate... for free, right? ''{indicating tile to northwest}'' So I can get this one?

'''MIKE:''' Let's see, you can do... ''{Shot Put card is displayed}'' either the mountain, or the one above the mountain. Yeah.

'''MAGGIE:''' Let's do the one above the mountain.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{Tile is flipped.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I hate that tree. I hate it!

'''MAGGIE:''' Hate that tree.

''{Chris giggles.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' All right.

'''MIKE:''' Um, nice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You guys, we're gonna totally win this game. I don't know if you noticed.

'''MIKE:''' So now we're just got- this...

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, you-you- you cursed us now.

''{Ye Flask of Dennis is flashed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way.

'''CHRIS:''' This is...

'''STRONG BAD:''' That doesn't work with me.

''{The other players giggle.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering}'' Because we'll cheat.

''{Other players laugh.}''

'''MIKE:''' Um, so...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna get wrong.

'''MIKE:''' Bad guys go, right?

'''ALEX:''' Eh, yes. And apparently, Trogdor...

'''MAGGIE:''' Uh, yeah.

'''ALEX:''' Trogdor really likes, or likes mountains? Or hates mountains? ''{The two mountain tiles, and the lake, are the only tiles left unburninated}'' One of the two, I'm not sure which.

'''MAGGIE:''' I like them.

'''MIKE:''' He likes them.

'''STRONG BAD:''' He lives in the mountains. So that makes sense.

'''ALEX:''' So he didn't burninate them. Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

''{The movement card is displayed.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' All right... so we're going...

'''STRONG BAD:''' He just does it as a necessity. He's like, 'I'm so sorry, mountains'.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah, I'm bad at the directions, so, Alex, you read them back.

'''MIKE:''' No peasants can spawn, and no peasants can move. So now they go... knights move east-east, south-south-south? Is that all right?

'''ALEX:''' Yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Everybody chant like we're in a creepy cult.

''{Knights are moved.}''

'''ALEX:''' East. East. ''{A knight passes on the S is for Sucks Dragon's tile, and is shaken up and down}'' Oh, Trogdor...

'''CHRIS:''' South, south.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{removing peasant to the Void}'' I'll take care of this peasant. Into the Void!

'''MIKE:''' 'Kay, there's him. ''{knight finishes movement}'' Okay, and now Troghammer.

''{Troghammer is moved.}''

'''EVERYONE:''' East. East. South. South. South.

'''MIKE:''' And the archer.

''{The players call out directions, but they don't chant together. The archer is moved.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' South, south, my lord.

''{The other players laugh.}''

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''CHRIS:''' I really should have worn my hood today.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. We should- we all should be wearing... wearing hoods. Hooded, hooded cloaks, I should say.

'''CHRIS:''' Cloaks, yeah.

'''MAGGIE:''' Yes. Yes.

'''CHRIS:''' ''{cracking up}'' It's a better- it's a better- better clarification in there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea.

''{Everyone laughs.}''

'''MIKE:''' All right. Um... Alex, your turn?

'''ALEX:''' Ah, yes.

''{An action card is drawn. The Majesty card is displayed.}''

'''ALEX:''' So I flipped... uh, Majesty. Before Trogdor's actions, he may burninate any tile on the board for free.

'''MIKE:''' Ooh, that's excellent for right now.

'''ALEX:''' That sounds really good right now.

'''CHRIS:''' Nice.

''{The card is discarded.}''

'''ALEX:''' What if we burninated a lake?

''{The other players agree and cheer him on to do it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't forget.

'''MAGGIE:''' Burninate.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There is, um, you can move diagonally. There's a tunnel right there that comes out right next to the other mountain. On the north side of Peasantry.

'''ALEX:''' Yes. ''{flips lake tile}'' So if we burninate this...

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was for free.

'''MIKE:''' That's free. Now we got four actions, right?

'''ALEX:''' ''{moving S is for Sucks Dragon west}'' So if I go, one. ''{flips tile}'' Two. ''{moves southeast to tunnel}'' Three. ''{moves to other tunnel}'' Four.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, we're so close!

'''MIKE:''' That was...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right? Was it just-

'''ALEX:''' Right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You used four, right?

'''ALEX:''' Yeah. I don't think there's- I don't think there's anything else I can do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's it. No, that's great.

'''MIKE:''' Let's see, that's four actions. It was burninating, moving two, warping three. Right?

'''ALEX:''' So-so it's one to move to the archers, two to burninate.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, you had to- you had to move far.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Sorry, I forget the- yeah yeah yeah yeah right right right. Yep, got it. Awesome.

'''ALEX:''' So, so close. But not quite. So let's see if we can survive one more turn.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right.

'''MIKE:''' Do you have anything to prevent damage?

'''ALEX:''' I do not. Um, and I did not visit the lake ''{Ye Flask of Dennis is displayed}'' because I burninated it from very far away. So I didn't even get to use my Flask of Dennis again.

'''MIKE:''' You can... These knights can repair cottages. Always.

''{The other players agree. A movement card is displayed.}''

'''MIKE:''' Burninated cottages can get repaired. Okay.

'''ALEX:''' So, uh...

'''MAGGIE:''' Does anyone want any crustily guarded bread?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes! We need to find the crustly guarded bread! ''{other players giggle}'' Atop the Crustly Guarded Mountains!

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Closely guarded secrets... and crustly guarded bread, you guys.

'''ALEX:''' Two peasants, but none can spawn.

''{Maggie giggles.}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''ALEX:''' And then so they don't... yeah, east-north-north-east.

''{Mike and Chris repeat the movement as the knights and the Troghammer are moved. One of the knights meets the southern cottage.}''

'''ALEX:''' Oh, no...

''{The Troghammer lands on the S is for Sucks Dragon's tile. Everyone reacts negatively.}''

'''MIKE:''' Take damage.

'''ALEX:''' ''{as the Troghammer is shaken}'' Boo.

''{A peasant is moved into the Void.}''

'''MIKE:''' We got one more knight to move.

'''ALEX:''' Uh, wait. That one moved.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, we already moved both knights.

'''ALEX:''' Yes. Just the archers.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

''{The archers are moved.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pchoo!

'''MAGGIE:''' So, there's another birthday in chat. Their name is Ethan.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting}'' ETHAN! WHY IS IT A BIRTHDAY? I DON'T KNOW! WHY DON'T YOU CHAT ABOUT IT?

''{Maggie laughs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So... that's how I say happy birthday. Where I come from. I'd berate you. About why is it your birthday. That's awesome, Ethan. High five to but from uh, ''{Mike high fives his camera}'' really far away and we don't actually ''{Alex high fives his camera}'' contact one another.

'''MAGGIE:''' ''{high fiving her camera}'' Yep, high five. ''{Mike drinks water}'' That's how you do it. ''{Maggie giggles}'' Um... then somebody asked if Marzipan also created a cult.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, I uh, I think she's got...

'''MIKE:''' Um, her...

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's like, all she does.

''{The other players giggle.}''

'''ALEX:''' Yeah. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' What's the name of her school?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Join and create cults.

''{Maggie giggles.}''

'''MIKE:''' We have a montage for her-

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, her Montesodium School was- is kind of a cult.

''{An action card is drawn.}''

'''MIKE:''' All right, Kirkman's turn?

'''CHRIS:''' All right. Here we go. Let's see if we can bring it on home.

'''MIKE:''' Actually, we got- we just gotta get this cottage and this tile.

'''ALEX:''' Mm-hm. Yes.

'''MIKE:''' We need some wraparound.

''{A Smell the Daisies card is displayed.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Uh... ''{the rear side of the card is displayed}'' Unfortunately... ''{Smell the Daisies is shown again}'' I do not have wraparound.

''{Everyone boos.}''

'''MIKE:''' You... we do... uh, we can use your item, right? YOu didn't use it before.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You are on the tunnel.

'''CHRIS:''' I can use it.

''{The players agree that Chris can use his item and that he is standing on the tunnel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're on the tunnel, but to go back and use the tunnel, you'd have to take damage from Trog-ham. ''{The players agree}'' Have to take some Trog-Hamage.

'''CHRIS:''' What, so is it more important for me to flip- do this tile, or...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{yelling}'' IT'S MORE IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO WIN!

''{Invisibility is displayed.}''

'''CHRIS:''' Yes.

''{Everyone laughs.}''

'''MIKE:''' Think about the, uh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{yelling}'' I DON'T EVEN CARE HOW YOU DO IT, SOLDIER!

'''MIKE:''' The thing is, that cottage can make a peasant come back.

'''CHRIS:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' A peasant can spawn from that cottage.

'''CHRIS:''' Right. I think it's best anyway because then I can just move through the set-it-up and he's gonna move on his turn so he has to come back through.

'''ALEX:''' Does Troghammer count as a knight for Invisibility?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes.

'''CHRIS:''' Then I'll use that.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, so you could use that, he would be able to burninate the tile. ''{The card is discarded}'' So let's see.

'''STRONG BAD:''' But could you still get back there with only four actions?

''{Chris counts the actions.}''

'''MIKE:''' You'd go to the... so you'd just be able to get down to that tunnel. Use the tunnel.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We're just gonna play this game where we- we just go back and forth between these two points of the board.

''{Everyone laughs.}''

'''MIKE:''' If we do that, if you do that, well, like I said, a peasant can spawn.

'''CHRIS:''' I think it's best to burn this cottage, honestly.

''{The S is for Sucks Dragon is moved to the next tunnel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. I like your instincts.

'''CHRIS AND MIKE:''' One, ''{east}'' two.

'''CHRIS:''' Two and three to flip. ''{The cottage is burninated}'' Burninate, excuse me. ''{west}'' We'll move back to the tunnel.

'''MIKE:''' Four.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. Primed and ready.

'''CHRIS:''' Yeah, and I'm gonna use the Disk of Healing, because uh, why not? We can't get hurt from knights this turn but just in case, now's the time.

''{The Disk of Healing is dragged, but not yet discarded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, we're gonna win before you get a chance to do it, anyway.

'''MIKE:''' Hold on, the Invisibility ''{Invisibility is displayed}'' is just during your actions.

'''ALEX:''' Yeah.

'''CHRIS:''' Oh, yes. Well, might as well.

''{The Disk of Healing is discarded. A peasant is brought back from the Void.}''

'''MIKE:''' It's not turn. Yeah, yeah, no we should, 'cause we're probably, we're not sure if we're gonna get back on your turn anyways, so...

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is a legacy game. You have to destroy that card forever. ''{Chris laughs. The Disk of Healing card is shaken}'' And stomp on it and run it over with your car.

'''MAGGIE:''' Rip it in pieces?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''CHRIS:''' I don't- how do I do it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Take it- take it to the beach and bury it.

'''MAGGIE:''' Somebody net wants to know what they should draw. Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What you should draw?

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Draw a... um, a picture of The Cheat... frying up a cardboard box... and um, inside the cardboard box, is uh... like an engine, except it's made out of guitars so it's like a guitarngine. Um, and then it has- it's like shooting electricity to the sky. Um, and then it- it's knocking down a plane full of like awesome warriors.

'''MAGGIE:''' Nice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right?

'''MAGGIE:''' That's a good drawing.

''{The other players agree.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That sounds like... that sounds like something Strong Bad would say.

''{Everyone laughs.}''

'''ALEX:''' I mean, you are Strong Bad, so you said it, so...

'''MIKE:''' That was very...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I try- yeah, yeah, of course, yeah, I'm- I'm Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' That was very on-model of you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's no reason to- to doubt that.

'''MIKE:''' Um...

'''CHRIS:''' All right. Bad guy's turn.

''{A movement card is drawn and displayed.}''

'''CHRIS:''' No peasants can spawn anyway, so the knights.

'''ALEX:''' West-west.

'''CHRIS:''' West-west south-south east.

''{The knights are moved.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoo. Long one.

'''MIKE:''' West-west, south-south east.

''{A knight passes through the southern cottage and the S is for Sucks Dragon. The knight is shaken as it attacks.}''

'''MIKE:''' Take a damage.

'''CHRIS:''' Nope, I'm invisible.

'''ALEX:''' Uh, nope, that's only during your turn.

'''CHRIS:''' Only during my turn.

''{A peasant is taken to the Void.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He just repaired that cottage, too? Did the knight repair that cottage?

'''ALEX:''' He sure did. He sure did. Yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! Didn't we just clean- just make this mess?

''{The knight's movement is finished by planting it on the unburninated mountains.}''

'''CHRIS:''' These guys are annoying.

'''MIKE:''' And then archer...

''{The knight is moved to another tile. It is supposed to be moved back, but lands on the archer and falls over.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now this game sucks!

''{Everyone giggles.}''

'''MIKE:''' What are we doing? Sorry.

'''ALEX:''' West-west.

'''MIKE:''' ''{moving archer}'' West-west. South-south. East. All right, so he's gone. Okay. Okay.

'''CHRIS:''' All right, no pressure.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad?

'''CHRIS:''' No pressure. You gotta win it on your turn.

'''MIKE:''' What's your... uh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm now batting? ''{The Yubbitz card is displayed}'' Batting clean-up.

'''MIKE:''' What's your Keeper?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, I am... Yubbitz. I can trade styles ''{A Wingaling is displayed}'' with other styles.

'''MIKE:''' Whoa, that's- does anybody have- ooh, I've got wraparound.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, here, let me draw.

'''ALEX:''' Oh, yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I sort-of get when I draws.

''{Strong Bad draws a card. A Flip 'Em Up Dan is displayed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, let's see I got a Flip 'Em Up Dan.

'''MIKE:''' That's not gonna...

'''STRONG BAD:''' You got wraparound. And uh, wraparound's five anyways, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yep. If you give me- if you do wraparound, you'll win.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well then dwun- thanks, Mike! Let's just quit now. ''{Everyone laughs.}'' Go ahead and quit. To watch the glory happen, just steal all of my thunders.

''{Everyone laughs again.}''

'''MIKE:''' Uh... sorry.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, fine. ''{cards are traded}'' Let's- we're gonna trade Flip 'Ep Up- uh, Dan. Where are you, Mike? Over here. Okay. And let's see...

'''MIKE:''' Wraparound. Gives you five.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wraparound. Okay, that's the greatest one. ''{Flip 'Em Up Dan is displayed}'' And I'm gonna be able to wrap all the way around.

''{An action card is discarded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do it. Do it. Do it.

'''MIKE:''' Try to use all five of your actions, though, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, I'm gonna do like a little dance, probably.

''{The whole tile holding The S is for Sucks Dragon is moved east before being put back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah so, nope. No flyin'. ''{east}'' One! ''{cottage is flipped}'' Burninate that tile! That cottage!

''{The S is for Sucks Dragon falls over.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Which I mean. Oh, he knocked over!

''{Everyone laughs as Strong Bad pretends to struggle to bring the dragon back upright.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, now wraparound! Voip through the south wall!

''{As Strong Bad brings the dragon to the north, he accidentally knocks over a knight.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Up to... knock you over, stupid knight.

''{Everyone laughs. The knight is brought upright, and the S is for Sucks Dragon is taken to the northern mountains.}''

'''MIKE:''' Three. Ah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What, is that it? Is this gonna be it?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''CHRIS:''' It looks like it's it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then if it's only- wait, so let's see.

'''MIKE:''' You can... you can hide as your last action.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah. There we go. Okay. Oh wait, don't I win the instant I burninate all of these things?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, oh yeah.

''{Strong Mad is planted on the tunnel tile to the east. Strong Sad is planted on the tile to the west. Marzipan is planted on the dragon's tile, and falls over.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, let's get- come on. Let's get the whole team out here on the field. ''{The other meeples are planted all over the place}'' Rush the field, everybody! Right before the buzzer goes off! Everybody, rush the field! And they got the goal plus! It was all so great! And then we flip it!

''{The last tile is flipped.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' AAAH! Trogdor wins!

''{Everyone cheers. The meeples are stacked on top of the S is for Sucks Dragon.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pile on Trogdor!! ''{removing Wormdingler from the board}'' Get Wormdingler outta here.

''{A knight is flicked, knocking away other meeples and making a mess. Trogdor is flicked and flies all the way off the board. The S is for Sucks Dragon is flicked away, too.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was pretty awesome. Everybody start flicking.

''{Meeples are flicked all over the place.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now we're playing- let's play that game Crossfire. Except with all these meeples.

''{Everyone giggles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' You're caught in the Crossfire! Doo-doo doot-doo! I don't remember how the song goes! But it was awesome. In the Crossfire!

''{The entire board has become a mess with meeples and tiles flicked all over the place.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' We could make a dexterity game on here. That would be fun.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Absolutely.

'''ALEX:''' You could flick the bags.

'''MIKE:''' You could do some...

''{Suddenly, the entire virtual table is flipped over in a rage-quit manner. Everyone is surprised.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! The table flipped! Of course.

'''MAGGIE:''' So?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey you guys, that was pretty awesome.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We did it!

''{The other players agree.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Despite all of Mike's efforts to ruin everything.

''{Everyone laughs. The table is reset. The images on the tiles reload, and the webpages on the virtual tablets are reset to Google homepage.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And make us have no fun.

'''MIKE:''' I got Strong Bad to go one time.

''{The URLs on the tablets are reset back to the Trogdor pages.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Uh, pretty early in the game, somebody asked if we would sing the Trogdor song. And I said I would wait until the end to ask. Will you sing it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, you guys- I d- do you guys know it? You gotta help me, you gotta back me up.

'''MAGGIE:''' Uh... I could do some of it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey Mike, do you have a acoustic guitar nearby?

'''MIKE:''' I don't.

'''STRONG BAD:''' We could try to do a laggy version.

''{Everyone giggles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, man! Not even a ukulele? ''{pronounced you-koo-lay-lay}''

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I wouldn't know how to play it on the ukulele.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, somebody look up the uke tabs for Trogdor.

''{EVeryone laughs.}''

'''ALEX:''' I mean I- I could pull up the YouTube video and play the sound for the entire- entire audience.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I-I- I could do a little something. It's just, I don't like screaming. I'm in a- It may look like I'm in Strong Badia, but the sound really carries, you guys. We're going to wake the neighbors.

''{Everyone giggles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Which is The Cheat in a grill. Uh, ''{shrieking}'' TROGDOR!! TROGDOR!! ''{singing}'' Trogdor was a man. ''{scatting the guitar parts}'' Yeah, you guys do some guitars and stuff in the background.

''{The other players start scatting in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' He was a dragon man! I mean, he was just a dragon. But he was still TROGDOR!! TROGDOR!! Burninating the countryside. Burninating the peasants. Burninating all the people. In THATCH ROOFED COTTAGES!!

''{Mike scats the main Trogdor theme.}''

'''STRONG bAD:''' ''{shrieking}'' TROGDOR!!

'''MIKE:''' Playing a little Stack 'Em to the Heavens over here.

''{A couple of peasants are stacked on top of each other.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And the Trogdor comes in the NIIII- ''{ending gutterally}'' guh-tuh. It was the best I could do.

''{The Poopsmith, King of Town and Marzipan meeples are being stacked. The other players congratulate Strong Bad's performance.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your accompaniment is awesome. ''{The meeple tower falls over}'' We're gonna cut a seven-inch, you guys, and release that.

''{The other players crack up.}''

'''MIKE:''' Everyone make the... scale up the peasants.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, just plus and minus makes everything...

''{One peasant is made bigger. The King of Town, still on top of The Poopsmith, is made bigger as well.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man. The King of Town rising. This is like my nightmare.

'''MAGGIE:''' Really?

''{As the peasant and the King grow huge, Strong Bad starts singing a little tune.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Look how big he can get!

'''ALEX:''' Oh, wow.

'''MAGGIE:''' Oh no, you're too big!

''{The King of Town grows immense and topples over. The massive peasant topples over, too.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I will devour you allll!

''{The Giant King of Town wanders over the table.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doom, doom! At last, I exact my reveeenge!

''{The King slowly falls over.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' So, yes, we will upload the stream.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dooj!

'''MAGGIE:''' We will upload the stream for anyone who- this part of it, or if anyone just wants to reload these memories together.

''{The board is being made a mess. Strong Sad's dragon, which is still red, is growing in size.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' We will upload this to our YouTube channel.

''{The dragon is gone. A tile is swelling in size.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Where do people... pick up Trogdor?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thank you so much. What's that?

'''MAGGIE:''' Where can people get this game?

''{The Giant King of Town is flicked.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, they can still get it on the Homestar Runner online Shopify store. Uh, and we're still- we got left- leftover copies of the Kickstarter version, which includes both these meeples you see here, and the cool plastic mini- miniatures.

''{The giant peasant does a cartwheel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, these meeples are no longer going to be ''{Alex is holding a Troghammer miniature up to his camera and playing with it}'' in the retail version. So uh, so buy 'em up, Dan. If you want these cool meeples. Otherwise, playing them in Marcus's mod is the only way you're going to see them.

'''MAGGIE:''' That's true. Uh, you can purchase the retail version at your friendly local game stores and online, still? Um. and if you're a retailer, you can purchase it by emailing sales at greaterthangames.com. But only if you're a retailer.

''{The S is for Sucks Dragon is growing in size.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bubs is a retailer.

'''MAGGIE:''' Bubs is?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{crashing noises as the Giant S is for Sucks Dragon topples down}''

'''MAGGIE:''' I heard some- oh, my god.

''{The S is for Sucks dragon falls through the table, intangibly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa!

''{The S is for Sucks Dragon reappears back on the tabletop.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Flipping! Flipping problems.

''{The other players laugh as the dragon keeps falling through the table and respawns on top of it.}''

'''ALEX:''' He fell through the floor.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Quicksand!

''{Maggie giggles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thank you, Greater Than Games, this is super-fun.

'''CHRIS:''' This is awesome.

'''MAGGIE:''' Thank you for joining us.

''{Everyone laughs.}''

'''MAGGIE:''' Yeah. So, thanks everyone for joining us in the shot, and thank you, uh, Strong Bad, and Mike, for hanging out with us.

'''MIKE:''' You're welcome.

'''MAGGIE:''' Uh, we'll be back on Monday at three PM with not the Brothers Chaps, ''{The S is for Sucks Dragon disappears, and Trogdor starts growing in size}'' just us, playing more games. ''{waving}'' See you then.

Crime Scene Tamperer

''From "Welcome Back, Greater Than Games!":''{{ref|1}}
<blockquote>Prove your innocence… at least long enough for the infamous Dangeresque to accuse one of your fellow criminals! In this party game, work against other criminals and ne’er-do-wells to get rid of the evidence that pins you to the scene of the crime! Hide and plant evidence! Do some Crime Scene Tampering! All before Dangeresque catches you!</blockquote>

[[File:Crime-Scene-Tamperer-box.png|thumb|"The party card game for guilty parties!"]]

'''''Crime Scene Tamperer''''' (initially announced as '''''Dangeresque: Crime Scene Tamperer''''') is an upcoming [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]-themed {{w|Social deduction game|social deduction}} {{w|Party game|party card game}} developed by [[the Brothers Chaps]] and [[Greater Than Games]].

The game was announced in 2022 and is slated for release in August 2026.

== History ==
===Announcement===
[[File:TwitterBoxingGloveFingerprintCards.jpg|thumb|Sounds... teaseresque.]]

The game was first teased on July 8, 2022 through social media posts.{{ref|2}} A few weeks later, on the 28th, a {{prs|1552750569328185345|28|Jul|2022|alt=teaser video}} announced ''Dangeresque: Crime Scene Tamperer'' {{--}} "the party card game for guilty parties". The game was described as supporting 2{{-}}6 players ages 14 and up.

===Early promotion===
[[File:TwitterDangeresqueCrimeScene.png|thumb|"It's not a whodunit... because ''you'' dunit."]]
A ''Dicebreaker'' article released alongside the announcement further described the game:{{ref|3}}
<blockquote>''Dangeresque: Crime Scene Tamperer'' [...] has players attempting to cover up a murder that they have committed. As the infamous action hero Dangeresque investigates the crime scene, players will need to deflect attention away from themselves and towards their opponents if they want to get away with their crime.
{{clear|left}}
As the social deduction game progresses, players will have the opportunity to shift the blame for the murder to the person sat next to them, hopefully putting Dangeresque's attention onto their opponent instead of them. However, other players will also have the chance to turn the blame back onto the other person, forcing them to quickly react once again. As the game's name suggests, players will be able to directly tamper with any evidence found at the crime scene but will need to be careful not to be caught.
</blockquote>

[[The Brothers Chaps]] playtested a prototype of the game that August at [[Gen Con 2022]]. This version of the game utilized hand-drawn cards, indicating the game's design was still in an early stage.

===Delays and revival===
The game had only been announced as vaguely "{{prs|1552750569328185345|28|Jul|2022|alt=coming soon-esque!}}", and updates on its development paused after the burst of activity in mid-2022. The Brothers Chaps' next [[Interviews and Public Appearances#Conventions and gatherings|convention appearance]], [[Multiverse Convention 2025]], did not feature a demonstration of ''Crime Scene Tamperer''. In April 2025, in response to {{w|Tariffs in the second Trump administration|economic conditions}}, Greater Than Games laid off much of its staff and announced that "all new projects are suspended",{{ref|4}} leaving the production of ''Dangeresque: Crime Scene Tamperer'' in limbo.

Greater Than Games was revived under its original ownership in May 2026, with an announcement that the Dangeresque game is "slated to release this summer."{{ref|1}} The product page indicates a few changes have been made to the game in the years since its announcement. The game's title was truncated to simply ''Crime Scene Tamperer'' (though the box art features a "Dangeresque presents..." hatnote, and retains the tagline "the party card game for guilty parties"). The player info is updated to 2{{-}}4 players ages 8 and up. The GTG store also listed twelve ''CST''-branded Dangeresque-themed pins (as well as a Trogdor character pin).

''Crime Scene Tamperer'' will be demoed and available for purchase at Gen Con 2026, from July 30 through August 2.{{ref|5}}

==Gameplay==
[[File:TwitterGenConCustomCards.jpg|thumb|Real and hand-drawn cards]]
''From the product description:''
<blockquote>You are some of the worst criminals in Brainblow City. But not worst as in, like, worst offenders... worst as in: you’re all terrible at being criminals. And now you’ve all been caught red-handed at the crime scene. And here comes world famous private eye/crooked cop Dangeresque to investigate. Lucky for you, he likes to monologue. There’s still a chance to tamper with the evidence and pin the crime on one of your fellow lawbreakers before he finishes his investigation! Each player must manipulate the Crime Scene to make another player Guilty while not incriminating themself. A game of Crime Scene Tamperer consists of three (3) scenes, during which you must remain as innocent-appearing as possible. The player with the fewest Guilt tokens at the end of all the investigations is the winner.</blockquote>

No play demo or detailed rules have been publicly released to date.

Brief glimpses of the game indicate it is primarily card-based, utilizing character and item cards (labeled "[[portmanteau|DangeCARDesque]]" on the reverse) to role-play the crime scene investigation and tampering. Card text seen at Gen Con indicates the game is turn-based, with players drawing cards from the deck and managing a hand of cards to be played at later points. Specific mechanics have not been revealed.

A mixture of printed and hand-drawn cards were utilized in the Gen Con '22 demonstration:

===Items===
*'''[[Dangeresque: Puppet Squad|Curly Fries]]''' {{--}} Peek, add, flip
*'''[[DNA Evidence (running gag)|DNA Evidence]]''' {{--}} Peek, move, move
*'''Fancy [[Atari 2600|Joystick]]''' {{--}} ''{unknown}''
*'''[[Nunchuck Gun]]''' {{--}} ''{unknown}''
*''{Floppy disk}''

===Characters===
*'''[[Killingyouguy]]''' {{--}} Ability: Before you play a card, remove 1 card from your pants and put it in your hands. Skip your draw.
*'''[[Perducci]]''' {{--}} Ability: Take any card from the crime scene and put it in your hand. Skip your draw.
*'''[[Renaldo]]''' {{--}} Ability: Swap any 2 [[Coach Z's Accent|cairds]].
*'''[[Sultry Buttons]]''' {{--}} Ability: Shuffle your hand into the deck, then draw 2 new cards.

Dagger Skew

''From his [[Crime Scene Tamperer]] [https://greaterthan.games/products/cst-pin-dagger-skew?variant=50235031912668 pin]:''
<blockquote>Infamous Cheatburgler and stabby specialist. His small size means he can squeeze under most laser-tech security systems. Man, those things are awesome!</blockquote>

'''Dagger Skew''' is a minor [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]] character played by [[The Cheat]], a "[[portmanteau|cheat]]{{w|Burglary|burgler}}" with a penchant for robbery and fascination with crystals. His name comes from steak-knife daggers tucked into his headband, "perfectly spaced for slicin' up eyeballs". A former informant for [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]], he is also friendly with [[Dangeresque Too]].

Though Dagger Skew debuted in ''[[Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate]]'', he was not included in the game when it launched on August 11, 2023. [[Steam Trading Cards]] for the game were implemented on January 10, 2024, giving players their first glimpse of Dagger Skew; he was finally added to the game proper in a May 25, 2024 that added the bonus "[[Roomisode X]]" level. He is found in the middle of a heist by [[Dangeresque Too]], offering the burgled Bowlegged Diamond in exchange for a cup of diamond-hard ice.

[[File:feb10.png|thumb|220px|So dangerous, so dangerous!]]
'''''Dangeresque''''' is a series of amateur {{w|Action film|action movies}} made by [[Strong Bad]], who also stars as [[Dangeresque (character)|the title character]]: "a private eye, a crooked cop, a secret agent, and a celebrity pharmacist" who fights both "the law" and "the crime". He is assisted by [[Renaldo]], played by [[Coach Z]], and encounters several other characters played by the various denizens of [[Free Country, USA]].

The homemade movies, shot with [[The Cheat]]'s video [[camera]], parody cliches of 70s and 80s action filmmaking and are generally [[poor acting|cheaply made and poorly acted]]. Visual effects and titles are applied in-camera rather than through editing, with cardboard sets or [[The Stunt Double|stunt doubles]] very apparent. Dangeresque's method of crime fighting is patent nonsense, but the timely delivery of catch phrases like "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!" always makes the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]] smile.

==Series entries==
[[Image:Dangeresque PEOI.png|thumb|"So I'm gonna have to—"]]
The ''Dangeresque'' series has not been released in production order (notably, ''Dangeresque II'' was [[stunt double|the first one shown]]); oftentimes only a portion of the full "movie" is shown in a toon. Series "canon" is very loose, befitting the informal production of entries.

==Music==
[[File:Dangeresque SoundtrackCover.png|thumb|Sounds dangerous? No, sounds... Dangeresque!]]
''Dangeresque'' is scored in the manner of jazz-funk soundtracks of 1970's {{w|Police procedural|police dramas}}, albeit filtered through both Strong Bad's limited budget and [[The Brothers Chaps]]' [[FAQ#Tech support|penchant for]] "old [[Casio keyboards]] or worse". The primary music piece is "[[The Theme from Dangeresque II]]" (occasionally abbreviated as "Dangeresque Theme" or simply "Dangeresque"), a ''{{w|Theme from Shaft|Shaft}}''-style anthem recounting the character's coolness, skills, partners, and exploits. A main riff from this song is regularly used as a {{w|Sting (musical phrase)|sting}} to punctuate a dramatic moment; oftentimes an even shorter vibraslap hit, guitar riff, or keyboard riff will be used to similar effect.

The score to ''Dangeresque 1'' is simply provided by Strong Bad's vocalizations, with an occasional vibraslap sting. From ''Dangeresque II'' onwards, the series uses actual music. The ''Puppet Squad'' entries additionally use the theme from [[Rough Copy!]] alongside traditional Dangeresque music.

End credits are scored with more upbeat pop-rock anthems, with contributions from [[Limozeen]]. "[[Today is Alright 4 2Nite]]" plays over the end credits of ''1'' and ''3'', and ''[[Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate|The Roomisode Triungulate]]'s'' credits are set to "You're Gonna Have 2 Jump".

The ''Dangeresque'' theme appears in [[Poker Night at the Inventory]], re-interpreted as a downtempo jazz instrumental to fit the mood of the game.

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:D3poster.PNG|thumb|We'll see... [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective|Just you wait...]]]]

*Dangeresque's cool glasses are illustrated in the liner notes of the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings CD]]. Strong Bad himself is obviously the illustrator, since he does not fail to remember the hatching (see [[suntan]]).
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] had [[stunt double#Commentary Transcript|originally planned to name the series]] "Danger Man". However, upon learning that the name had already been used by {{w|Danger Man|a 1960s TV series}}, the decision was made to change to "Dangeresque".
*Elements of Dangeresque may be inspired by the audio show ''{{w|Sounds Dangerous!}}'' from [[Disney|Walt Disney World]]. The show featured undercover cop Charlie Foster ({{w|Drew Carey}}) taking down smuggler Lefty Moreno, who is disguised as circus performer The Great Rinaldi.
* In the email [[the movies]], it is said that Dangeresque 3 will come out "We'll See...". It also shows four crossed out dates, ranging from 2004 to 2006 (all having passed by the time of the email's release). Later in the same email, Strong Sad (who was listing every movie that onscreen actors had starred in), reacts to Strong Bad by stating "He was in Dangeresque 1 and 2!"
**The [[Sega|Genesis]] version of ''{{w|Lufia and the Fortress of Doom}}'', which was eventually cancelled, had a similar ad campaign to that poster for Dangeresque 3.
* When Strong Bad is interviewed in [[DNA Evidence]], he acts in character and costume as Dangeresque, and the Dangeresque theme often plays in the background. The "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!" catchphrase also makes an appearance.

*[[Homsar]] is the only main character not to have any role in the movies.

[[The Brothers Chaps]] playtested a prototype of the game that August at [[Gen Con 2022]]. This version of the game utilized hand-drawn cards, indicating the game's design was still in an early stage.

===Delays and revival===
The game had only been announced as vaguely "{{prs|1552750569328185345|28|Jul|2022|alt=coming soon-esque!}}", and updates on its development paused after the burst of activity in mid-2022. The Brothers Chaps' next [[Interviews and Public Appearances#Conventions and gatherings|convention appearance]], [[Multiverse Convention 2025]], did not feature a demonstration of ''Crime Scene Tamperer''. In April 2025, in response to {{w|Tariffs in the second Trump administration|economic conditions}}, Greater Than Games laid off much of its staff and announced that "all new projects are suspended",{{ref|4}} leaving the production of ''Dangeresque: Crime Scene Tamperer'' in limbo.

Greater Than Games was revived under its original ownership in May 2026, with an announcement that the Dangeresque game is "slated to release this summer."{{ref|1}} The product page indicates a few changes have been made to the game in the years since its announcement. The game's title was truncated to simply ''Crime Scene Tamperer'' (though the box art features a "Dangeresque presents..." hatnote, and retains the tagline "the party card game for guilty parties"). The player info is updated to 2{{-}}4 players ages 8 and up. The GTG store also listed twelve ''CST''-branded Dangeresque-themed pins (as well as a Trogdor character pin).

''Crime Scene Tamperer'' will be demoed and available for purchase at Gen Con 2026, from July 30 through August 2.{{ref|5}}

==Gameplay==
[[File:TwitterGenConCustomCards.jpg|thumb|Real and hand-drawn cards]]
''From the product description:''
<blockquote>You are some of the worst criminals in Brainblow City. But not worst as in, like, worst offenders... worst as in: you’re all terrible at being criminals. And now you’ve all been caught red-handed at the crime scene. And here comes world famous private eye/crooked cop Dangeresque to investigate. Lucky for you, he likes to monologue. There’s still a chance to tamper with the evidence and pin the crime on one of your fellow lawbreakers before he finishes his investigation! Each player must manipulate the Crime Scene to make another player Guilty while not incriminating themself. A game of Crime Scene Tamperer consists of three (3) scenes, during which you must remain as innocent-appearing as possible. The player with the fewest Guilt tokens at the end of all the investigations is the winner.</blockquote>

No play demo or detailed rules have been publicly released to date.

Brief glimpses of the game indicate it is primarily card-based, utilizing character and item cards (labeled "[[portmanteau|DangeCARDesque]]" on the reverse) to role-play the crime scene investigation and tampering. Card text seen at Gen Con indicates the game is turn-based, with players drawing cards from the deck and managing a hand of cards to be played at later points. Specific mechanics have not been revealed.

A mixture of printed and hand-drawn cards were utilized in the Gen Con '22 demonstration:

===Items===
*'''[[Dangeresque: Puppet Squad|Curly Fries]]''' {{--}} Peek, add, flip
*'''[[DNA Evidence (running gag)|DNA Evidence]]''' {{--}} Peek, move, move
*'''Fancy [[Atari 2600|Joystick]]''' {{--}} ''{unknown}''
*'''[[Nunchuck Gun]]''' {{--}} ''{unknown}''
*''{Floppy disk}''

===Characters===
*'''[[Killingyouguy]]''' {{--}} Ability: Before you play a card, remove 1 card from your pants and put it in your hands. Skip your draw.
*'''[[Perducci]]''' {{--}} Ability: Take any card from the crime scene and put it in your hand. Skip your draw.
*'''[[Renaldo]]''' {{--}} Ability: Swap any 2 [[Coach Z's Accent|cairds]].
*'''[[Sultry Buttons]]''' {{--}} Ability: Shuffle your hand into the deck, then draw 2 new cards.

Dangeresque (film series)

Bleu Ninja — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 19:32:44 GMT

Bleu Ninja: /* Other */ Crime Scene Tamperer pin characters

:{{for-nothe|other uses|Dangeresque}}
[[File:feb10.png|thumb|220px|So dangerous, so dangerous!]]
'''''Dangeresque''''' is a series of amateur {{w|Action film|action movies}} made by [[Strong Bad]], who also stars as [[Dangeresque (character)|the title character]]: "a private eye, a crooked cop, a secret agent, and a celebrity pharmacist" who fights both "the law" and "the crime". He is assisted by [[Renaldo]], played by [[Coach Z]], and encounters several other characters played by the various denizens of [[Free Country, USA]].

The homemade movies, shot with [[The Cheat]]'s video [[camera]], parody cliches of 70s and 80s action filmmaking and are generally [[poor acting|cheaply made and poorly acted]]. Visual effects and titles are applied in-camera rather than through editing, with cardboard sets or [[The Stunt Double|stunt doubles]] very apparent. Dangeresque's method of crime fighting is patent nonsense, but the timely delivery of catch phrases like "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!" always makes the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]] smile.

==Series entries==
[[Image:Dangeresque PEOI.png|thumb|"So I'm gonna have to—"]]
The ''Dangeresque'' series has not been released in production order (notably, ''Dangeresque II'' was [[stunt double|the first one shown]]); oftentimes only a portion of the full "movie" is shown in a toon. Series "canon" is very loose, befitting the informal production of entries.

*'''''Dangeresque 0: The Prequel Begins''''' ([[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective Responses (Secret Lab)#Renaldo|mentioned in]] ''The Criminal Projective'')
**Taking place in [[1983]], a conflict with [[Professor Experimento]] results in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective Responses (Strongborneo)#Bearshark|Dangeresque getting kicked out of the space program]].
*'''''Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, Too?''''' {{--}} Not in 3D ("digitally remastered" director's cut shown in [[dangeresque 3]])
**Dangeresque and his new partner [[Dangeresque Too]] must put aside their differences to reclaim a serum stolen by [[Perducci]], which will prevent [[Cutesy Buttons]] from getting kidnapped.
*'''''Dangeresque II: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1''''' (highlights shown in [[stunt double]])
**Dangeresque risks life and limb to recover a missing VHS tape, coming into conflict with the dastardly [[Baron Darin Diamonocle]].
*'''''Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective''''' {{--}} in 3D! (a playable game released as [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective|the fourth episode]] of [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]])
**Renaldo is about to retire when the case to get the formula to restore Cutesy Buttons's rainforest escalates into a large adventure climaxing into a confrontation with Uzi Bazooka and Craig.
**[[Dangeresque: THREE in 3D|An edited version of the game's cinematics]] was released in anaglyph 3D on the [[SBCG4AP Collector's DVD]].
*'''''Dangeresque: Put Em on Ice!''''' (featured in a [[rock opera#Easter Eggs|rock opera]] Easter egg)
**A brief scene of Dangeresque ice skating is shown. This may have been a stage production rather than a movie.
*'''''[[Dangeresque: Puppet Squad|Dangeresque: Puppet Squad - The Curly Fried Caper]]'''''
**Dangeresque and Dangeresque Too track down the guy who stole his curly fries that one time.
*'''''Dangeresque 4 ÷ 2 = 6''''' (featured in [[sbemail 206]])

==Music==
[[File:Dangeresque SoundtrackCover.png|thumb|Sounds dangerous? No, sounds... Dangeresque!]]
''Dangeresque'' is scored in the manner of jazz-funk soundtracks of 1970's {{w|Police procedural|police dramas}}, albeit filtered through both Strong Bad's limited budget and [[The Brothers Chaps]]' [[FAQ#Tech support|penchant for]] "old [[Casio keyboards]] or worse". The primary music piece is "[[The Theme from Dangeresque II]]" (occasionally abbreviated as "Dangeresque Theme" or simply "Dangeresque"), a ''{{w|Theme from Shaft|Shaft}}''-style anthem recounting the character's coolness, skills, partners, and exploits. A main riff from this song is regularly used as a {{w|Sting (musical phrase)|sting}} to punctuate a dramatic moment; oftentimes an even shorter vibraslap hit, guitar riff, or keyboard riff will be used to similar effect.

The score to ''Dangeresque 1'' is simply provided by Strong Bad's vocalizations, with an occasional vibraslap sting. From ''Dangeresque II'' onwards, the series uses actual music. The ''Puppet Squad'' entries additionally use the theme from [[Rough Copy!]] alongside traditional Dangeresque music.

End credits are scored with more upbeat pop-rock anthems, with contributions from [[Limozeen]]. "[[Today is Alright 4 2Nite]]" plays over the end credits of ''1'' and ''3'', and ''[[Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate|The Roomisode Triungulate]]'s'' credits are set to "You're Gonna Have 2 Jump".

The ''Dangeresque'' theme appears in [[Poker Night at the Inventory]], re-interpreted as a downtempo jazz instrumental to fit the mood of the game.

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:D3poster.PNG|thumb|We'll see... [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective|Just you wait...]]]]

*Dangeresque's cool glasses are illustrated in the liner notes of the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings CD]]. Strong Bad himself is obviously the illustrator, since he does not fail to remember the hatching (see [[suntan]]).
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] had [[stunt double#Commentary Transcript|originally planned to name the series]] "Danger Man". However, upon learning that the name had already been used by {{w|Danger Man|a 1960s TV series}}, the decision was made to change to "Dangeresque".
*Elements of Dangeresque may be inspired by the audio show ''{{w|Sounds Dangerous!}}'' from [[Disney|Walt Disney World]]. The show featured undercover cop Charlie Foster ({{w|Drew Carey}}) taking down smuggler Lefty Moreno, who is disguised as circus performer The Great Rinaldi.
* In the email [[the movies]], it is said that Dangeresque 3 will come out "We'll See...". It also shows four crossed out dates, ranging from 2004 to 2006 (all having passed by the time of the email's release). Later in the same email, Strong Sad (who was listing every movie that onscreen actors had starred in), reacts to Strong Bad by stating "He was in Dangeresque 1 and 2!"
**The [[Sega|Genesis]] version of ''{{w|Lufia and the Fortress of Doom}}'', which was eventually cancelled, had a similar ad campaign to that poster for Dangeresque 3.
* When Strong Bad is interviewed in [[DNA Evidence]], he acts in character and costume as Dangeresque, and the Dangeresque theme often plays in the background. The "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!" catchphrase also makes an appearance.

*[[Homsar]] is the only main character not to have any role in the movies.

Bleu Ninja: /* Unreleased Games */ Update box art and name.

:''This article lists all Homestar Runner games. For the games menus linked on the site, see [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]] and [[videlectrix.itch.io]]. For other uses, see [[games]].''
[[Image:videogames.png|thumb|300px|A sample of Videlectrix games]]
''From a [[PAX East - 8 Apr 2018|2018 appearance at PAX East]]:''
<blockquote>'''[[MIKE CHAPMAN]]:''' The look of the world of Homestar Runner has been heavily influenced by video games. Our cartoons are basically side-scrolling, and they've got the blue sky and green hills background of ''[Super] Mario Bros.'' and those types of Nintendo and Super Nintendo era platformers. 
'''[[MATT CHAPMAN]]:''' Once we started making cartoons it was kind of hard not to just let all that stuff seep into it.</blockquote>

'''Games''' are an integral part of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]], existing as one of the [[Main Pages|main menu]] options since the earliest days of the website. Many games star the main [[characters]], though others feature characters from [[Homestar Runner universe#Sub-universes|in-universe fiction]] or are wholly unrelated to the typical setting and characters of Homestar Runner.

Beginning with the release of [[Awexome Cross]] in February [[2003]], most games have been presented as being developed by the fictional company [[Videlectrix]]. These are presented as {{w|Retrogaming|old-school games}} {{--}} sometimes even bearing decades-old copyright dates {{--}} and produced in the style of consoles such as the [[Atari 2600]], [[NES]], or [[Apple IIe]]. [[The Brothers Chaps]] have expressed a fondness for [[Nintendo]], {{w|Activision}}, [[Sierra]], and [[LucasArts]].

Most games are produced in [[Flash]]. Early, simpler games were [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Games - 4:30 p.m.|solely produced by The Brothers Chaps]]; programmer [[Jonathan Howe]] was heavily involved with game production from 2003 through 2008, in addition to assisting with other programming tasks on the site. Other programmers who have contributed to Homestar Runner games include [[Jez Swanson]], [[Colin McInerney]], and Ben Hines. Later games have been produced in {{w|Unity (game engine)|Unity}} or as ROMs for {{w|Video game console emulator|emulators}}.

The Brothers Chaps partnered with [[Telltale Games]] from 2008 through 2010, resulting in the games [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] and [[Poker Night at the Inventory]].

In addition to video games, physical game [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]] was released in 2019.

== Web Video Games ==
The majority of playable Homestar Runner games are available for free online, typically through [[homestarrunner.com]].

===Videlectrix Games Menu===
<blockquote>Since the beginning of videogames, Videlectrix has been there forefronting the crap out of the competition with good graphics and half-decent progrumming. With classic hits like the '''Thy Dungeonman''' series, '''Trogdor!''', '''Stinkoman 20X6''', and '''Peasant's Quest''', the 'Trix has firmly cemented itself in cement shoes and cast itself into the proverbial East River of videogaming.</blockquote>

The [[videlectrix.itch.io|Videlectrix itch.io page]] collects most of the website's games, further including links to [[#Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|"the shmup-style flash games menu"]] and [[#Old Games|"the OLD flash games menu"]] alongside [[#Itch.io/Steam Games|additional games available for download]]. The classic [[Flash]] games are referred to as "working", {{w|Scare quotes|in quotes}}.

As of 2023, the URL [[homestarrunner.com]]/games (and therefore the "games" [[Main Page]] button) redirects to this menu, rather than the Scrolling Shooter Games Menu.

===[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]]===
[[File:GamesMenu2021.png|thumb|Shots do NOT hurt other players... yet.]]
Although the "games" menu option on the [[navbar]] still points to the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]], as the menu has not been updated since 2020 (with no games newer than 2008 included) and the Main Pages link to itch.io it is no longer the primary menu for Homestar Runner games.

In addition to all the Flash games linked from the Videlectrix itch.io page, the shmup menu includes the following games:

===[[Handheld Games Menu|Old Games]]===
[[File:handheldgames postshooter.png|thumb|So old they are new! Maybe you forgot!]]
The [[Handheld Games Menu]] was the primary games menu from July 14, 2002 through July 29, 2004. It is linked to from both the Scrolling Shooter menu (labeled "Old Games") and itch.io site. Though several prior games menus existed, this menu collects nearly every game that had appeared on homestarrunner.com up until its discontinuation.

These games are much simpler, many taking the form of activities without a win state rather than being true "games". They are neither presented in a throwback style nor as being made by Videlectrix.

== Requested: gameplay information ==
So, like, does ANY dang person know how D:CST plays? I'm assuming at least ONE of you were at GenCon checking out Strong Bad's work.
If you or someone you know played D:CST at GenCon in 2022 (and presumably didn't sign an NDA), let me know so I can write an article real good-a-like for yous.

Bleu Ninja: moved Dangeresque: Crime Scene Tamperer to Crime Scene Tamperer: As of May 2026, GTG has dropped the "Dangeresque:" from the game's name in listings.

''From "Welcome Back, Greater Than Games!":''{{ref|1}}
<blockquote>Prove your innocence… at least long enough for the infamous Dangeresque to accuse one of your fellow criminals! In this party game, work against other criminals and ne’er-do-wells to get rid of the evidence that pins you to the scene of the crime! Hide and plant evidence! Do some Crime Scene Tampering! All before Dangeresque catches you!</blockquote>
[[File:TwitterDangeresqueCrimeScene.png|thumb|256px|"The party card game for guilty parties!"]]

'''''Crime Scene Tamperer''''' (initially announced as '''''Dangeresque: Crime Scene Tamperer''''') is an upcoming [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]-themed {{w|Social deduction game|social deduction}} {{w|Party game|party card game}} developed by [[the Brothers Chaps]] and [https://greaterthan.games/ Greater Than Games].

The game was announced in 2022 and is slated for release in August 2026.

== History ==
===Announcement===
[[File:Instagramteaseresque.jpg|thumb|Sounds... teaseresque.]]

The game was first teased on July 8, 2022 through social media posts.{{ref|2}} A few weeks later, on the 28th, a {{prs|1552750569328185345|28|Jul|2022|alt=teaser video}} announced ''Dangeresque: Crime Scene Tamperer'' {{--}} "the party card game for guilty parties". The game was described as supporting 2{{-}}6 players, ages 14 and up.

===Early promotion===
A ''Dicebreaker'' article released alongside the announcement further described the game:{{ref|3}}
<blockquote>''Dangeresque: Crime Scene Tamperer'' [...] has players attempting to cover up a murder that they have committed. As the infamous action hero Dangeresque investigates the crime scene, players will need to deflect attention away from themselves and towards their opponents if they want to get away with their crime.
{{clear|left}}
As the social deduction game progresses, players will have the opportunity to shift the blame for the murder to the person sat next to them, hopefully putting Dangeresque's attention onto their opponent instead of them. However, other players will also have the chance to turn the blame back onto the other person, forcing them to quickly react once again. As the game's name suggests, players will be able to directly tamper with any evidence found at the crime scene but will need to be careful not to be caught.
</blockquote>

[[The Brothers Chaps]] playtested a prototype of the game that August at [[Gen Con 2022]]. This version of the game utilized hand-drawn cards, indicating the game's design was still in an early stage.

===Delays and revival===
The game had only been announced as vaguely "{{prs|1552750569328185345|28|Jul|2022|alt=coming soon-esque!}}", and updates on its development paused after the burst of activity in mid-2022. The Brothers Chaps' next [[Interviews and Public Appearances#Conventions and gatherings|convention appearance]], [[Multiverse Convention 2025]], did not feature a demonstration of ''Crime Scene Tamperer''. In April 2025, in response to {{w|Tariffs in the second Trump administration|economic conditions}}, Greater Than Games laid off much of its staff and announced that "all new projects are suspended",{{ref|4}} leaving the production of ''Dangeresque: Crime Scene Tamperer'' in limbo.

Greater Than Games was revived under its original ownership in May 2026, with an announcement that the Dangeresque game is "slated to release this summer."{{ref|1}} The product page indicates a few changes have been made to the game in the years since its announcement. The game's title was truncated to simply ''Crime Scene Tamperer'' (though the box art features a "Dangeresque presents..." hatnote, and retains the tagline "the party card game for guilty parties"). The player info is updated to 2{{-}}4 players, ages 8 and up. The GTG store also listed twelve ''CST''-branded Dangeresque-themed pins (as well as a Trogdor character pin).

''Crime Scene Tamperer'' will be demoed and available for purchase at Gen Con 2026, from July 30 through August 2.{{ref|5}}

==Gameplay==
[[File:TwitterGenConCustomCards.jpg|thumb|Real and hand-drawn cards]]
''From the product description:''
<blockquote>You are some of the worst criminals in Brainblow City. But not worst as in, like, worst offenders... worst as in: you’re all terrible at being criminals. And now you’ve all been caught red-handed at the crime scene. And here comes world famous private eye/crooked cop Dangeresque to investigate. Lucky for you, he likes to monologue. There’s still a chance to tamper with the evidence and pin the crime on one of your fellow lawbreakers before he finishes his investigation! Each player must manipulate the Crime Scene to make another player Guilty while not incriminating themself. A game of Crime Scene Tamperer consists of three (3) scenes, during which you must remain as innocent-appearing as possible. The player with the fewest Guilt tokens at the end of all the investigations is the winner.</blockquote>

No play demo or detailed rules have been publicly released to date.

Brief glimpses of the game indicate it is primarily card-based, utilizing character and item cards (labeled "[[portmanteau|DangeCARDesque]]" on the reverse) to role-play the crime scene investigation and tampering. Card text seen at Gen Con indicates the game is turn-based, with players drawing cards from the deck and managing a hand of cards to be played at later points. Specific mechanics have not been revealed.

A mixture of printed and hand-drawn cards were utilized in the Gen Con '22 demonstration:

===Items===
*'''[[Dangeresque: Puppet Squad|Curly Fries]]''' {{--}} Peek, add, flip
*'''[[DNA Evidence (running gag)|DNA Evidence]]''' {{--}} Peek, move, move
*'''Fancy [[Atari 2600|Joystick]]''' {{--}} ''{unknown}''
*'''[[Nunchuck Gun]]''' {{--}} ''{unknown}''
*''{Floppy disk}''

===Characters===
*'''[[Killingyouguy]]''' {{--}} Ability: Before you play a card, remove 1 card from your pants and put it in your hands. Skip your draw.
*'''[[Perducci]]''' {{--}} Ability: Take any card from the crime scene and put it in your hand. Skip your draw.
*'''[[Renaldo]]''' {{--}} Ability: Swap any 2 [[Coach Z's Accent|cairds]].
*'''[[Sultry Buttons]]''' {{--}} Ability: Shuffle your hand into the deck, then draw 2 new cards.

Bleu Ninja: Note about shared workload

[[Image:Chapman_Mike_personal_photo.png|thumb|Teeg Dougland in the flesh! (In the sock cap!)]]
'''Michael "Mike" Raymond Chapman''' (born September 20, 1973) is the co-creator of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]. One half of creative duo [[the Brothers Chaps]], alongside younger brother [[Matt Chapman]], he serves as one of the principal creators of [[homestarrunner.com]].

== Career ==
===Education===
Born in [[Indiana]] and raised in the state of [[Georgia]],{{ref|9}} Mike attended Vanderlyn Elementary School and {{w|Dunwoody High School}} along with his brother.{{ref|16}}{{ref|19}} Mike studied Fine Art at the {{w|University of Georgia}}, earning a bachelor's degree in photography in 1997,{{ref|17}} after which he enrolled at a {{w|Postgraduate education|postgrad}} Master's photography program at {{w|Louisiana State University}}. After a year of classes, he realized his esoteric approach to photography meant he "didn't have the desire or the skills to be a commercial photographer", and he dropped out of the program by 1999.{{ref|2}}{{ref|15}}

Mike's other artistic pursuits were largely unschooled; he only took one introductory computer class in school.{{ref|15}} A "self-taught graphic designer/animator/illustrator/writer/musician",{{ref|1}} Mike worked as a freelance designer after college.{{ref|3}}

===Homestar Runner===
[[File:TwitterPAXGameplay.jpg|thumb|"Scruffy old brother" Mike (right) alongside "flaming peasant" Matt, playing [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]] at [[PAX East - 8 Apr 2018|PAX East 2018]]]]

In June 1996, Mike and his friend [[Craig Zobel]] co-wrote ''[[Original Book|The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest]]'', originating the Homestar Runner world and characters. This was a short handmade picture book parodying children's stories. Mike, working with Zobel and/or his brother Matt, would occasionally revisit these characters: an unfinished sequel book ''[[Homestar Runner Goes For The Gold!]]'', an [[Super NES|animation in ''Mario Paint'']], or online short story ''[[Where My Hat Is At?]]''.

The idea to launch [[homestarrunner.com]] began in 1999. The Chapman brothers were living together in an apartment in Georgia and, when learning about the creative possibilities of [[Flash]], Mike and Matt chose Homestar Runner as the subject to use when teaching themselves the program.

When the site first launched, the brothers only worked on it in their spare time; Mike, who worked as a freelancer, had "way more free time" and therefore did much of the graphics, animation, and programming work on the earliest toons.{{ref|3}}{{ref|20}} By 2003, both brothers were working on Homestar Runner full-time (with Matt having quit his day job) and divided the workload "pretty much 50/50".{{ref|4}}

{{sectionstub}}
====Characters====
''From [[Sample of Style]]:''
<blockquote>I'm Mike Chapman from HomestarRunner.com. People are [[all the time]] asking me, "Mike, how do you do those stupid voices for your [[dumb animal characters]]?" and I say, "I'm Mike! Matt does the voices!"</blockquote>
Although Matt is the primary voice actor for the site's [[characters]], a few secondary figures are portrayed by Mike. [[Pom Pom]]'s "voice" is a sound clip of Mike blowing bubbles into milk.{{ref|8}} Mike voices the [[Powered by The Cheat]] iterations of characters, impersonating Matt's voice [[Poor Acting|intentionally poorly]]; he uses similar voices for characters like [[Shark-Tooth Bubs]] and [[Craig]]. Mike once substituted as Strong Sad's voice, in [[cheat talk]], when Matt was too hoarse to deliver the character's line.{{ref|4}}
[[Image:teeg_dougland.png|thumb|[[Teeg Dougland]] resembles Mike, who provides his voice.]]
Other characters voiced by Mike include:

*The announcer in [[Where's The Cheat?]], and announcer #2 in [[Strong Bad Sings]].
*[[Blue Laser Babies]]
*[[The Knight]]
*[[The Worm]]
*[[Teeg Dougland]]

*{{w|Built to Spill}} — ''{{w|Ultimate Alternative Wavers}}''

== Personal Life ==
[[File:MikeMattandDon.png|thumb|Brothers Mike, Matt, and Donnie (L{{nbh}}R)]]
Mike is the second-youngest of [[Don and Harriet Chapman]]'s five children. Eldest brother [[Donnie Chapman|Donnie]] is occasionally cited as a creative influence on The Brothers Chaps, particularly in sharing his interests about older video games or music.

Mike began dating [[Missy Palmer]], voice of [[Marzipan]], shortly before the site started in January of 2000.{{ref|7}} They were married February 28, 2004. Their daughter, referred to as the [[Very, Very Little Girl]], was born in 2006 and appeared in [[Summer Short Shorts#Easter Eggs|Homestar vs. Very, Very Little Girl]].

==Fun Facts==
*As of 2006, nearly ten years after graduating from UGA, Mike's Bachelor of Fine Arts degree was still kept rolled up in the cardboard tube it was mailed in.{{ref|1}}
*Mike has listed several toons as his favorites:

[[File:HR web screenshot 2021-01-01.png|thumb|300px|https://homestarrunner.com]]
{{about|website}} {{for|YouTube channel|homestarrunnerdotcom}} {{for|personal website of [[Homestar Runner]]|Homestar Runner's Website}}

'''homestarrunner.com''' is the {{wp|URL}} of the website and primary home of the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work.

==Structure==
[[File:main1.png|thumb|The first Main Page]]
The [[index page]] is the first page one sees when visiting the website, and displays [[Index Page Messages|recent updates]], merchandise, and a link to a randomly selected [[Main Pages|Main Page]] (of which there are currently 28). The Main Pages, which are the main menus of the site, split homestarrunner.com into six main categories: [[Toons]], [[Games]], [[Characters]], [[Downloads]], [[Store]], and [[Email]]. A few of these categories host subcategories such as [[Strong Bad Email]] and [[Teen Girl Squad]]. The Main Pages also link to the [[Museum]], the [[Weeklies]], [[Main Page Messages|recent site updates]], the toon [[First Time Here?]], and the rest of the Main Pages.

Outside of the frame, the rest of the screen is simply black, with a round border around the Flash files. Some toons use this black space to their advantage, such as the Strong Bad Email [[virus]], in which [[Strong Bad]] runs outside the frame, or [[flashback]], when Strong Bad [[Widescreen|extends the boundaries]] of the screen to reveal [[Homestar Runner]], who says he's usually "behind the black". Below the frame is the [[Site Components#NavBar|navigation bar]], which has small links to various sections of the site, functioning as a more condensed version of the Main Pages on almost every page. Most toons have previous/next buttons above the navigation bar, indexed by toon category. There are other [[site components]] as well, embedded into Flash files so that they are rarely accessed on their own.

The site is navigated mainly via [[Flash]] menus, currently emulated through [[Ruffle]] as of the [[post-Flash site update]] on December 31, 2020. Many of these menus have a specific theme or gimmick, such as the [[TV Time Toons Menu]], which is listed on a ''{{wp|TV Guide}}''-like [[Periodicals|magazine]], and the Downloads menu, which looks like an [[ATM]]. Most menus have an interactive aspect to them. The Main Pages, for instance, have certain events that play when the cursor hovers over each button, and the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]] takes the form of a vertical {{wp|scrolling shooter}} video game.

One unique aspect of the website is the abundance of [[Easter eggs]]. For example, clicking the last digit of the copyright date on any of the Main Pages takes one to the [[Homsar Main Page]], and clicking "Eject" on the VHS player and clicking the "Homsar" tape on the [[Character Videos]] page will play [[Homsar's Character Video]]. The majority of these Easter eggs can be found in toons. Some of them require clicking on something while the toon is playing, but most of them can only be found once the toon has ended. Sometimes the clickable area will change when the cursor is hovered over it to indicate an Easter egg, such as the red letter "D" turning yellow at the end of [[Hremail 7]], but usually there will be no indication of an Easter egg beyond the cursor changing. The "Tab" button on the keyboard can sometimes be pressed to locate Easter eggs.

Another unique aspect is the loading screens. The main sections of the website generally use the same loading screen: the Homestar Runner logo hovering up and down against a white background. However, specific toons often have a more unique loading screen, usually relating to the toon itself. These loading screens occasionally [[Irregular Loading Screens|say something besides "loading"]], such as "load", or even no text at all.

The [[page titles]] are ordinarily different than the toon or menu name, and frequently contain jokes. For example, the index page has the page title "Everybody! Everybody!", which is the lyrics to the [[Everybody Everybody#The song|intro song]]. Since the post-Flash site update, page titles are followed by the subfolder name (if applicable), the page's actual name, and the name Homestar Runner.

Hidden among the website are various [[secret pages]], ranging from [[Lappynapped!|toons never added to the main list]], [[Sbemail 100 Fakeout|pages intended to be found]], and [[unfinished toons]]. There have also been secret pages removed after fans found them, such as [[If I Ran the Camera]].

===Subdomains and Folders===
The website also hosts several {{wp|subdomain}}s. These include:
*[[podstar:|podstar.homestarrunner.com]], which hosts the menu and files for [[Podstar Runner]]
*[[trogdorboardgame:|trogdorboardgame.homestarrunner.com]], a [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Website|subdomain]] for updates and information on [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]]
*[[newhr:|new.homestarrunner.com]], which displays a redesigned HTML version of the index page that was [[Post-Flash Site Update#History|eventually abandoned]]
*[[oldhr:|old.homestarrunner.com]], an archive of the pre-2021 Flash site

There are also a few folders within the domain:
*"stinkogame", the folder housing [[Stinkoman 20X6]]
*"sadjournal", which houses [[Strong Sad's Lament]]

===Filename Conventions===
[[File:Neon 404.png|thumb|The [[Neon 404'd|404 error]] page, which is opened when a nonexistent file is requested.]]
On the old Flash site, many of the page files (.html files) and Flash files (.swf files) for the main [[:Category:Features|features]] have consistent naming conventions. For example, the page file for a [[Strong Bad Email]] is "sbemailX.html", where X is the email number, with a [[Irregular Strong Bad Email URLs|handful of exceptions]]. The same goes for [[Teen Girl Squad]] (tgsX.html), and [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]] (answerX.html).

[[Toons|Toon]] URLs, however, are less consistent. Sometimes, the page file relates to the toon. For example, [[A Jorb Well Done]] is "cantsayjob.html". Usually, the Flash file will have the same filename as the html page, but there are some exceptions. If this is not the case, the Flash file may be found by viewing the page source and reading the filename from the line that includes "<code><nowiki><PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="FILENAME.swf"></nowiki></code>". Many URLs [[URLs that end in 2|end in the number 2]].

Since the post-Flash site update, URLs for toons consist of the file directory (such as <code>/toons/</code> or <code>/sbemails/</code>), followed by the email number (in the case of [[Strong Bad Email]]s) and the toon name, written in lowercase with any spaces replaced by dashes. The Flash filenames remain the same as before, and can be found in the line that includes "<code><nowiki><embed id="embed" class="embed-responsive-item" src="FILENAME.swf" loop="false" menu="false" quality="high" width="750" height="545"></nowiki></code>".

==Domain==
The domain was registered on December 6, 1999 by [[Harmless Junk, Inc.]] Its {{wp|IP address}} is 72.10.33.178.

The website was originally hosted by {{wp|Yahoo!}}. It was [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#A question about the Podcasts. - Red Toque|so popular that it wildly exceeded Yahoo's bandwidth limits]] and was [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Who are the bandwidth providers?|moved to Sagonet]]. Around October 2006 [[FAQ|it was transferred to Caronet]]. Currently, the site is hosted by {{w|GoDaddy}}.

===Other Domains===
[[File:Thoraxcorp.png|thumb|The [[Thorax Corporation]] home page.]]
Harmless Junk, Inc. also hosts other domains, including [[videlectrix.com]] and [[thoraxcorp.com]] {{inlinecontentwarning|mild language|This website contains mild profanity}} {{--}} both based on companies within the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. The domain name whatthepfargtl.com was registered based on the toon [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]], but the site was never set up and expired April 30, 2008.

===Email Addresses===
[[File:SBZone inbox.jpg|thumb|"@homestarrunner.com" email addresses see much less use in the 2020s, with most either closed or sending humorous auto-replies that discourage further emails.]]
{{seealso|Email}}
Various "@homestarrunner.com" email addresses, both for real-world people and fictional characters, have been listed on the site throughout the years. As of 2015, their use has been reduced.
*'''brotherschaps'''@homestarrunner.com was the personal email address of [[The Brothers Chaps]], the creators of Homestar Runner. This email address was removed from the site in late 2015, and as of 2023 [[Email#Email Us!|sends an automated reply]] stating that it "isn't so much of a valid email address no more".
**'''cascone'''@homestarrunner.com was the contact email for "business guy" [[Michael Cascone]], who managed various business and merchandise wholesale dealings for Homestar Runner from 2002 through 2004. This address was briefly listed [[Email#Store support (2003)|on the Email page in 2003]].
*'''strongbad'''@homestarrunner.com was the email address for fans to ask Strong Bad questions, appearing at the end of nearly every [[Strong Bad Email]].
**From 2015{{-}}2022 ([[sbemail 206]] through [[parenting]]), sbemails instead ended with [[CGI Paper|a prompt]] to "tweet to email strong bad" at the [[social media|Twitter]] account [[@StrongBadActual]].
**As of early 2026, the address sends [[Strong Bad Email#Trivia|an automated reply]] stating the inbox has been "quarantined" and any future Strong Bad Emails will respond to fan messages that have already been received.
*'''depressio'''@homestarrunner.com was used in the Strong Bad Email [[depressio]] as Strong Sad's email address.
** At first, emails sent to this address would receive [[depressio#Easter Eggs|an automated response from Strong Sad]] that linked to [[Strong Sad's Secret Styles]] and, later, [[Strong Sad's Lament]].
**Sometime around 2006, the inbox was deleted. Sending an email would only result in a default {{w|bounce message}}.
**Around 2018, the inbox was reopened and served as the sender for [[The Deleteheads Download]]. It is currently dormant.
*'''deleteheads'''@homestarrunner.com is used as the sender for the update newsletter since "The Deleteheads Download" rebranded to "Homestar Runner Updates" [[Homestar Runner Updates#New Short, New Shirt, New Homepage! (February 13, 2024)|in February 2024]].
*'''DJmankiewicz'''@homestarrunner.com was the email address for sending [[Hremails]] to Homestar Runner, introduced in [[email thunder]]. Emails receive [[Hremails#Replies|an automatic response from Homestar]] commenting on the "big [[portmanteaus|cavalcanche]] of emails" he is receiving.
*Two [[Halloween]] toons solicited votes for viewer's favorite costumes using specialized email inboxes. Although both addresses are inactive, simply returning {{w|bounce message}}s, they are still linked from the toons.
**'''halloween2000'''@homestarrunner.com was used in [[Homestarloween Party]]. The end screen asked viewers "Which costume was your favorite? Click here to let us know.", with "here" opening a blank email to this address.
**'''ween'''@homestarrunner.com was used in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]. At the [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats#Later that Night...|end screen]], viewers were directed to vote for their "favorite costume"; clicking a character would automatically compose an email to this address with a humorous subject line and [[Pokémon|pun]] relating to the chosen costume. The winner was revealed in the [[Everything Else, Volume 2|DVD-exclusive]] toon [[Halloween Awards Show]].
*'''costumes'''@homestarrunner.com and '''punkins'''@homestarrunner.com were used to collect [[Fan Costumes|costume and pumpkin photos]], respectively, for a contest announced via [[Main Page Pop-Ups#halloween contests!|a 2009 Main Page pop-up]]. Prizes were awarded in [[Fan Costumes '09]] and [[Punkin Show]].

==Browser Support==
[[File:HSR mobile screenshot.png|thumb|On mobile]]
===HTML Validity===

homestarrunner.com does not pass the [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.homestarrunner.com&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0 W3C Validation Test], at least not on many of its pages. This is mainly due to no DOCTYPE and because it uses the EMBED HTML Object (which is is not valid HTML 4.01; [http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=174681 flash satay] must be used in order to bypass validation errors.)

===Mobile Browser Support===

Prior to the December 31, 2020 update, the website was not fully supported by mobile browsers, as it was made up almost entirely of Flash files. However, the site could be fully viewed on Android devices until 2012, when Flash Player support was discontinued for Android. It was suggested in [[Flash is Dead!]] that by circa February 2016, the website (or any future additions to it) would be in {{wp|HTML5}} format. HTML5 is not only more secure, but its [[wikipedia:HTML5 video|video format]] is supported by some mobile browsers.

In late 2017, The Brothers Chaps started on an [[newhr:|HTML redesign]] of the site. This redesign was much simpler and uses embedded YouTube videos instead of Flash content, with links to the old site, as well as links to other non-Flash content such as the Store, the [[YouTube#homestarrunnerdotcom|YouTube]] channel, the HTML5 [[TROGDOR!]] game, and the @StrongBadActual Twitter account. In addition, selected toons and Strong Bad Emails could be viewed from mobile devices via official YouTube uploads, and a few toons released since 2016 had been posted on the site in embedded YouTube video format.

On December 31, 2020, the redesigned website was updated to use Ruffle instead of Flash, allowing the entirety of the site to be viewable on mobile devices for the first time since 2012. In addition, the website has received some optimizations for mobile devices in order to improve the layout of the pages.

Yearbook Character Page

Bleu Ninja — Sat, 27 Jun 2026 21:49:25 GMT

Bleu Ninja: /* Remarks */ History according to Strong Bad

{{redirects|yearbook}} {{for|guestbook page|Homestar's Yearbook}}
[[Image:Yearbook page.png|thumb|right|220px|School days daze]]
The '''Yearbook Character Page''' is a [[school]]-themed [[characters]] page. Eleven characters are photographed, and each picture links to a short summary about the character.

An "autographs" portion of the yearbook includes signatures and salutations from several of the characters. Their personalities are further emphasized by their comments and handwriting {{--}} Strong Sad's superb penmanship, Pom Pom's [[Pom Pom's Girls|fliratious phone numbers]], and Strong Mad's difficulty with spelling.

'''Page Title (picture page):''' Yearbook

'''Page Title (autographs page):''' This year was the best!

==Transcript==
==='''{{Film|Bubs}}'''===
'''Page Title:''' Bubs C. Stand

'''Original Page Title:''' Bubs

''{Bubs is standing in front of a silhouetted concession stand, throwing a can and kicking it back to his hand.}''
<blockquote>
Bubs is an entrepreneur, 
but he can't spell that, so 
let's just say he's awesome. 
He runs the concession stand 
down at the sports fields. 
That's [[why come]] he's so fat. 
He keeps eating all his profits. 
But then he goes out and 
dances all the pounds off at 
Disco Tech, where he attends 
night courses. In his spare time he has boring 
conversations with Coach Z and reads back issues 
of Motor Trend magazine.
</blockquote>

==='''{{Film|The Cheat}}'''===
'''Page Title:''' The Cheat is a Millionare!

'''Original Page Title:''' The Cheat

''{The Cheat is standing in front of some blue spots. He narrows his eyes, shifts to both sides, and smiles, making his [[The Cheat's Gold Tooth|gold tooth]] gleam.}''
<blockquote>
Nobody knows what the Cheat 
is exactly or where he comes 
from but my guess is Space. He 
sure does like to cheat though. 
His personal motto, "No rule is 
solid" and his love of all that is 
untrue and incorrect keep him 
from accomplishing very much. 
He gladly does all the dirty work for the Brothers 
Strong, and nobody ever seems to blame the 
Cheat for what he done. I mean he's the Cheat. 
Come on. When all is said and done, and your 
grandkids live on Mars, the Cheat'll be doin alright.
</blockquote>

==='''{{Film|Coach Z}}'''===
'''Page Title:''' The Fightin' Coach Z

'''Original Page Title:''' Coach z

''{Coach Z is standing in front of a silhouetted clipboard and spinning a whistle with his hand.}''
<blockquote>
Coach Z is a crazy man from 
another country that sleeps 
in the locker room. He's also 
the best hope we've got for 
making it to state this year. 
The Coach knows how to 
get 110 percent out of 
Homestar and the rest of 
the team. He's the master 
of all the big sports. You know 
the ones I mean. The BIG ones. Coach also claims 
to have been a chart topping rapper back in his 
home country. We'll see about that.
</blockquote>

==='''{{Film|Homestar Runner}}'''===
'''Page Title:''' Homestar Michael Runner

'''Original Page Title:''' Homestar Runner

''{Homestar is shown inside a blue star. He inhales, holds his breath, turns red and then blue, then exhales, panting for breath.}''
<blockquote>
This guy is everyone's best friend. 
He is 2 to 3 times better than 
the next best person in 
the world. That's why he 
wins everything and why 
everyone loves him so much. 
he can be pretty dumb, sure, 
but it's just cause he's so 
danged nice. His main man 
Pom-Pom is always there 
picking up the slack for him. Asked what his 
favorite season is, Homestar responded, "Sure." 
You can't beat that with a stick, can ya?
</blockquote>

==='''{{Film|The King of Town}}'''===
'''Page Title:''' His Broiled Majesty High Kingimost of Towne the Third

'''Original Page Title:''' The King of Town

''{The King of Town is standing in front of a silhouetted tower. He falls asleep and wakes up, with his crown jumping and spinning in the air before landing back on his head.}''
<blockquote>
The King of Town is the elder 
statesman of [[Free Country, USA|Free Country 
USA]]. He doesn't really do 
anything other than [[The King of Town's Food|eat]] and 
sleep. Come to think of it, he 
doesn't even sleep. He only 
eats. And talks about eating. 
His reign as king dates back 
to before any of you were 
born, so don't worry about it. 
Also, he employs The Poopsmith for reasons 
no one is sure of, and he has a [[The King of Town's Sheep|flock of sheep]], 
also for reasons no one is sure of. Weird old man.
</blockquote>

==='''{{Film|Marzipan}}'''===
'''Page Title:''' Marzipan

''{Marzipan is standing in front of several yellow flowers. She is holding a book, flipping a page and jumping a little.}''
<blockquote>
Marzipan is [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship|Homestar's 
girlfriend]]. No wait, she's not. 
Or she is, but don't tell her I 
said that. Anyway, Marzi can 
often be seen swimming with 
the dolphins in the swampy 
marsh or tending to her 
substantial herd of [[goats]]. Other 
hobbies include: BBQing, fencing,

paintings are laden with symbolic images). I think 
Strong Bad put it best when he described her as 
'a dirty hippie...without the dirt'.

''{Pom Pom is standing in front of a large blue blot. He points in one direction, winks, and repeats in the other direction.}''
<blockquote>
Pom Pom is a pom, which 
means he comes from The 
[[Pom Pom, Too|Isle of Pom]], where all [[Pom Pom's girls|27 
of his girlfriends]] live. He's 
Homestar's best friend for 
sure and for true. His IQ is 
off the charts as is his 
attendance. His sharp wits 
often get ol' Homestar out of some pretty tight 
jams. I don't mean to call Homestar stupid or 
nothin but sometimes his excessive niceness 
can cloud his better judgement. And Pom Pom's 
always there to turn that cloud upside down.

''{The Poopsmith is standing in front of a silhouetted pile of [[whatsit]]. He chews and blows a bubble gum bubble, which then pops.}''
<blockquote>
Here's what we know about the 
Poopsmith currently: 
He shovels [[crap]] for the King of 
Town. And he smells really bad. 
And that's it. Everything else 
is a mystery. Like what are 
those stains on his gloves? 
And how come he smells so 
bad? Homestar thinks he could be 
over 1,000 years old. And Strong Bad says he has 
[[X for Brains|crap for brains]]. But he's been calling everybody 
'crap for brains' lately so I wouldn't give that one 
too much thought.

'''Page Title:''' Strong Bad

''{Strong Bad is standing in front of a yellow explosion. He lifts his arms, looks up, and begins to shake his arms while the background flashes a few times.}''
<blockquote>
"I cannot tell a lie. You are so 
stupid." That's our Strong Bad, 
always charmingly irreverent, 
always a big jerk. He tries so 
hard to be lowdown and 
rotten but usually ends up 
being hilarious and in last 
place. With the help of his 
brother Strong Mad and their little 
yellow thing the Cheat, Strong Bad does everything 
he can to ruin Homestar's day, despite their 
one-time plans to get matching tattoos. All in all, 
Strong Bad will spit in your food and ask for a bite.

''{Strong Mad's face and upper body are seen inside a large M. He is inhaling and exhaling while slowly falling asleep. He drools on himself and wakes up again.}''
<blockquote>
If anyone is truly a big lug, 
Strong Mad is. This guy is 
dumb and strong, and that's 
pretty much the definition of 
a lug. One time, his brother 
Strong Bad asked him to pick 
up this one car. And so he did, 
but it was the wrong car. See? 
Dumb and strong. He'll do just 
about anything Strong Bad 
tells him to do. One time, he asked him to pick up 
this one car... oh wait, already said that one. Strong 
Mad and the Cheat are best friends. Hi-Five.

Strong Sad is a depressing lump. 
A fat, gray, [[Soolnds|elephant-footed]] 
depressing lump. But look at 
how cute he is. Awww. His 
brothers Strong Bad and 
Mad disowned him a while 
back because he refused to 
help them cheat. Plus they 
thought he was a total drag. 
Pretty much everybody thinks 
he's a total drag. But Homestar and the gang still 
love him even though he tends to worry too much 
and bring everybody down... and be a total drag.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Homsar]] is not in the yearbook because he had not [[homsar|been created]] yet.
*Strong Bad's "RHTS" is an abbreviation for "Raise Hell This Summer", an exhortation popular in yearbooks of bygone decades.

===Trivia===
*By this point, the Poopsmith is now considered a main character. He had been excluded from [[Old Characters Page|the prior "Characters" page]].
*Bubs stands in front of a silhouetted [[Bubs' Concession Stand|concession stand]].
*Marzipan is depicted reading a book titled ''The Chronology of Moths''.
*The area code of Pom Pom's pager, [[Wikipedia:Area code 718|718]], covers the outer boroughs of New York City and is referenced in several hip-hop works. Due to the [[Wikipedia:North American Numbering Plan|numbering system]], an area code of "123" is not possible in North America.
*Several characters {{--}} Bubs, The Cheat, Coach Z, Homestar Runner, The King of Town, and Pom Pom {{--}} had their [[page title]]s expanded during the [[post-Flash site update]].

===Remarks===
*Although the word "[[Integral Article|the]]" is considered part of The Cheat's name, it is not capitalized like it usually is.
*The [[Navigation Bar|old pop-up menu]] can be accessed from the main "Yearbook" page, brought up by mousing over the bottom of the toon frame.
*The concept of The Cheat being from [[Outer Space|space]] has not been returned to in any cartoon.
**In the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[flashback]], [[History according to Strong Bad|Strong Bad believes]] that The Cheat is from a giant [[egg]] filled with a lifetime supply of fish sticks.
*Strong Mad's misspelling of his own name as "Strng Man" is one letter away from [[Strong Man]], his [[Old-Timey]] counterpart.
*[[Disco Tech]] is a homonym for the [[French]] word "discothèque", meaning "[[Clubs (organizations)|dance club]]".
*The bits of bubble gum on The Poopsmith's page fly off the actual page, beyond the boundaries of the book.

===Goofs===
*Marzipan turns the pages of her book from right-to-left, the wrong direction for reading in English.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Coach Z's page had the title "Coach z", with an uncapitalized "z".

===Inside References===
*Bubs is throwing around the [[Can of Water Soup|can]] from "[[Kick the Can]]" on his page.
*Bubs's page also mentions the [[The Athletic Field|sports fields]].

===Real-World References===
*Disko Tech, spelled very similarly to Bubs's alma mater, is a school featured in oft-referenced ''[[Batman]]'' episode "{{w|The Joker Goes to School}}".

===Fast Forward===
*Later instances of Strong Bad's handwriting would standardize the use of the [[font]] AhnbergHand, instead of the lettering seen here..
*The statement that Coach Z "sleeps in [[Coach Z's Locker Room|the locker room]]" is revisited on several occasions {{--}}
**In [[A Jorb Well Done]], he sleeps on the bench listening to Strong Sad's cassette tape.
**In [[Coach Z's Character Video]], he tells the camera he usually sleeps on a bench.
**In [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], he rests in a locker.
*The [[Homestar Quiz]] asks "Where does Bubs attend night classes?" {{--}} the answer, "Disco Tech", is only concretely answered here. As of 2003, the Yearbook Character Page is [[Secret Pages|not linked to]] from anywhere on [[homestarrunner.com|the site]], making this question difficult to answer.
**The email [[rated]] depicts Bubs wearing a Disco Tech sweatshirt, though it does not explicate his relationship to the school.
*Homestar has a much easier time holding his breath here in the yearbook than he does in [[Halloween Fairstival]], when Strong Bad pays him to stop breathing.
*In the email [[virus]], Strong Mad is turned into this yearbook picture (accompanied by some of the text appearing) by [[the virus]].
*Homestar and Strong Bad again discuss their [[tattoo]] plans in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]].
*In the email [[narrator]], Strong Bad points out that Bubs and Coach Z are having a boring conversation.
*Coach Z's ability to get "110 percent" out of the team is revisited in the title of [[Coach Z's 110%]].

U.Z. Inu

Bleu Ninja — Sat, 27 Jun 2026 19:38:59 GMT

Bleu Ninja: Add paragraph break to lede to emphasize identity mystery. Internal link for Twitter thread.

[[File:Stinkoman 20X6 Mecha-Trogador Atomic Burnination.png|thumb|U.Z. Inu composed the music for the Mecha-Trogador boss fight.]]
'''U.Z. Inu''' is a composer who contributed to ''[[Stinkoman 20X6]]''{{'}}s [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 10|tenth level]]. They contributed three tracks: the level theme (a remix of "[[Stinkoman Level 1]]"), [[Z Sabre]]'s boss theme (a remix of the standard boss theme), and [[Mecha-Trogador]]'s boss theme (a remix combining the Level 1 theme with "[[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor]]").

The name "U.Z. Inu" is a pseudonym and the composer has not been identified, nor do they operate any public-facing accounts under this name. Inu has never been acknowledged outside of the game's credits sequence; by comparison, all of the other credited contributors to the finale of ''Stinkoman 20X6'' were {{prs|1340924153097048065|21|Dec|2020|alt=personally thanked in a Twitter thread}} following its release.

==Connection to Toby Fox==
U.Z. Inu has been speculated to be '''{{w|Toby Fox}}''', video game developer and music composer. Fox keeps his personal life private and rarely provides public appearances, interviews, or even photos of his face, making the use of such a pseudonym plausible. Several details point to Inu potentially being an alias for Fox:
* Fox often uses the [https://undertale.wiki/w/Annoying_Dog Annoying Dog] from his game ''{{w|Undertale}}'' as an avatar to represent himself. The name "U.Z. Inu" may be a play on the Japanese localized name for the character (うざいイヌ, {{w|Romanization of Japanese|romanized}} as ''Uzai Inu'').
* U.Z. Inu's music for ''Stinkoman 20X6'' features many of Toby's signature composition habits and instrumentation, as well as sharing the same instrument samples that he uses in music for his games.
* Fox is a fan of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]:
** He directly cited it as the inspiration for [https://tcrf.net/Prerelease:Undertale/Concept_Art a scrapped attack in ''Undertale''], in which the player would have to [[mile|jump over a row of 19 buses]].
**His game ''{{w|Deltarune}}'' contains a music group known as the "[[Game Sightings#Deltarune|Sweet Cap'n Cakes]]", a reference to [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]. One of its members plays a song titled [https://tobyfox.bandcamp.com/track/when-i-get-mad-i-dance-like-this "When I Get Mad I Dance Like This"], very similar to the demo that [[Casio Head Strong Bad]] plays [[crazy cartoon|when he gets mad]].

When level 10 released in 2020, there was no other trace of "U.Z. Inu" online. In 2022, Inu reappeared: credited as composer and lyricist for Japanese {{w|VTuber}} {{w|Houshou Marine}}'s "I'm Your Treasure Box", alongside frequent Toby Fox collaborator [[TVTropes:Music/Camellia|Camellia]]. Fox and Camellia would collaborate for another Houshou Marine song in 2024.

The secretive nature of the U.Z. Inu identity has allowed imitators to use the alias, such as a Toby Fox imitator releasing fan-made ''Deltarune'' music under the name.

'<noinclude> 
This template uses the decimal code for the apostrophe or single-quote character so that it does not become interpreted with adjacent italics (<tt><nowiki>''</nowiki></tt>) wiki markup. This situation most commonly arises when taking the possessive of titles that should be italicized; it may also be used for the possessive of something in italics.

Anvils

Bleu Ninja: /* The Cheat Being Compared to an Anvil */ subhead

[[File:sbemail135ThrowAnvil.png|thumb|"Hey, you a-shut up!"]]
'''Anvils''' are often used in nonstandard ways in the Homestar Runner universe. [[The Cheat]] is often compared to one.

==Appearances==

*[[Steam Trading Cards]] {{--}} The description on [[Baron Darin Diamonocle]]'s card claims he wears a gold neck brace after [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] dropped a [[train]] of anvils on his head.

===The Cheat Being Compared to an Anvil===
*Email [[huttah!]] {{--}} The Cheat hears Strong Bad compare him to a [[cheese]] and an anvil, and Strong Bad tries to say that those are two of the finest things in life.
*[[Run Devil Run Interview]] {{--}} [[Mike Chapman]] describes The Cheat as "kind of a leopard/gerbil/anvil type thing".
*Email [[retirement]] {{--}} The Cheat is described as "Part Anvil?" on his introductory flag.
*[[Strong Badia the Free]] {{--}} The [[Drive-Thru Whale]] effectively refers to The Cheat as "the anvil".
*[[Halloween Hide & Seek]] — Pouring the latte down the exhaust pipe on top of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] leads [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] to say, "Sounded like a spotted cheese anvil just landed on the floor of Bubs' Concession Stand."
*[[Kick The Cheat Returns!]] {{--}} The [[Kick The Cheat]] plush is referred to as a "kickable yellow cheese-anvil".
