Revision as of 20:13, 14 August 2023
Dangeresque Roomisode 2: The Intersection of Doom & Boom is the direct sequel to Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque, taking place immediately after its ending scene. Unlike its standalone prequel, Roomisode 2 was only released as part of the Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate game bundle.
Like the first game, it is structured as a Videlectrix graphic adventure game in the style of those produced by LucasArts and Sierra Entertainment. The player takes control of both Dangeresque and Renaldo, attempting to disarm a bomb in the Dangecaresque. Screenshots and other production information have been shared to the @StrongBadActual Twitter and Instagram pages. Prior to its release, Strong Bad jokingly described the game as more of an "intersectionisode" than a "roomisode".
Cast (in order of appearance):
- Strong Bad as Dangeresque
- Coach Z as Renaldo
- Silhouetted figure that resembles Homeschool Winner
- Big Racoon
- Unnamed Motorist
- Strong Sad as The Stunt Double and an Electrician
Date: Friday, August 11, 2023; first revealed October 5, 2017

Gameplay
The Intersection of Doom & Boom is a point-and-click adventure game. The player controls Dangeresque in the street intersection and Renaldo inside the Dangecaresque, and can interact with people and items by choosing to look at, manipulate, or talk to them. Dangeresque and Renaldo narrate the actions they take, for the benefit of the player. Puzzles frequently require completing several steps in sequence or combining multiple items.

Development
A second roomisode was noncommittally hinted at in the April 24, 2009 Videlectrix website post. Soon after, homestarrunner.com went on an extended hiatus; no further updates were posted to the Videlectrix site.
On October 5, 2017, Strong Bad posted an animated scene from Roomisode 2 to Twitter; the post was discussing Roomisode 1 and did not acknowledge this scene was from a different game. On September 23, 2018, in the wake of Telltale Games' closure, Strong Bad joined former TTG employees in reminiscing about working on Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. As the conversation turned to Videlectrix's feud with Telltale that lead to the release of Roomisode 1, a potential sequel was again mentioned. Strong Bad replied with a brief description of the game, including the same animation from earlier. Later that day, he posted a Twitter thread revealing more information about the game, including responses and graphics — Renaldo's presence as a secondary playable character was shared, as well as an underground scene featuring a bearded Strong Sad; the game's goal of defusing a bomb inside the Dangecaresque was also revealed. At this point, the game was still being referred to in past tense as a "never-finished" project.
In 2023, the game was revisited again on social media — though now the game was more actively referred to as "upcoming". Posts were made using the #screenshotsaturday hashtag common among indie game developers, though as they were posted on differing days of the week many used humorous tags like "#ScreenshotMondurday" or "#ScreenshotThursdurday". Rather than a solo release, the game was officially announced as part of Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate, alongside an expanded port of the first game to modern formats as well as an additional third game.
Fun Facts
Explanations
- A slow jam is a type of emotional or romantic song, typically taking the form of an R&B ballad or downtempo soul song.
Inside References
- The "slow jam" tape plays an instrumental version of Tenerence Love's "Sweaty, Overweight Jam" from love poems.
Real-World References
- When talking to the trash can, Strong Bad references Oscar the Grouch, a creature from Sesame Street who lives in a trash can. Mr. Hooper was a human Sesame Street character; when actor Will Lee passed away in 1982, a memorable episode of the show was produced that dealt with the death of Mr. Hooper.
- Strong Bad references the song "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey when interacting with the street light.
