<div>== NES poster ==<br />
<br />
Man, there are so many awesome Inside References in this! Temporarios, Suge Brown, the plaques from [[no loafing]], and the Videlectrix poster in the stairwell is a parody of [http://trsrockin.com/images/powerposter.jpg this NES poster]! I probably have 15 of those in a box somewhere :D {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Here they are, side by side. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 07:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
[[Image:VidelectrixPoster.png|162px]][[Image:NES poster Now You're Playing With Power.jpg|140px]]<br />
::As a side-note, the poster depicted above, and the one Trey linked to, are actually different. Most notably to me, being a longtime RPG fan, the middle left side of Trey's picture shows Dragon Warrior and Faxanadu, while the one in the comparison shot has Metroid and Kid Icarus. Interesting... -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
::::Yeah, I noticed that too... my guess is that there are a bunch of variants with different games. I should see if I have any ones that are different... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:02, 12 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:::At that, does anyone know which games are depicted on the Videlectrix poster? I can see [[Secret Collect.]], [[StrongBadZone]] and [[RhinoFeeder]], and [[Thy Dungeonman]] in the upper left... [[Thy Dungeonman II]] and [[Thy Dungeonman 3]] on the upper right, and I think I see [[Pigs on Head]] in the lower left corner... any others? -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
All right, I got it now...<br />
<br />
Upper left corner:<br />
[[Secret Collect.]], [[StrongBadZone]], [[RhinoFeeder]]<br />
[[Thy Dungeonman]], [[50k Racewalker]]<br />
<br />
Upper right corner:<br />
[[Thy Dungeonman 3]], [[Thy Dungeonman II]]<br />
<br />
Middle left:<br />
[[Duck Guardian One]]<br />
[[Duck Guardian 2]], [[Pigs on Head]]<br />
<br />
Middle right:<br />
[[Planet Alert]], [[Hallrunner]]<br />
<br />
Lower left:<br />
[[Spaceshipper]] (?), [[Stinkoman]] (forgot the actual name)<br />
<br />
I think that's all of them... -{{User:YK/sig}}<br />
<br />
== 404'd, or not ready? ==<br />
<br />
Whoever made the edit of "not yet active," was it just 404'd? I'd like to put that in Trivia if it was, because it exists now, but only with a message. --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:28, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== MiiWare ==<br />
<br />
Should "MiiWare" be a considerable reference to Miis? --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
: Actually, for all we know, Strong Bad meant Me-Ware, not Mii-Ware. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Title Change? ==<br />
<br />
In the TV Time Toons Menu, it's listed under "SBCG4AP," just like the HTML file for it. Should we move the article when we get the transcript done? --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:Telltale Games' website also calls the video by that name, so I would support a move. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 16:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
::I don't think that's a good idea. The title as it is is descriptive, and explains its relationship to the forthcoming game. By contrast, the abbreviated title is not very descriptive, and likely only appears on the toons page because this one is too long. Keep where it is. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:::The article's current title also makes it ridiculously easy to get it and [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Gameplay Trailer]] mixed up. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 18:55, 13 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
::::Hence the disambiguation. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:58, 13 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:::::I'd say that things would get more confusing if this article was moved, as SBCG4AP is given in this toon as the abbreviation for the game itself, and thus would serve more use as a redirect to the game page instead of as a new home for this one. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 19:29, 13 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
::::::I agree 100%: SBCG4AP is being used everywhere as the abbreviation for the game, so that page should redirect to the game, and this article should not be moved there. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:53, 14 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
Could we compromise and move it to [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]]? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 12:58, 14 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Rabid dog? ==<br />
<br />
I hear "rabbit dog", not "rabid dog" as one of the Real World Refs calls it. On second though, we should probably wait until the transcript is done. [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 21:48, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:Funny, I hear that too. But I'm not sure it makes enough sense to put down. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
::I think it does. Sam is way more of a "rabbit" dog (a hybrid of a rabbit and a dog, with his vaguely bunnyish ears) than a "rabid" dog. [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 21:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:::Ooh, insider information; it's "rabbit dog": [http://telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4875&page=2]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:27, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
I think the "Rabbitdog and Bunnyman" part may be intended as a reference to the 80's alternative band, Echo & The Bunnymen. It would also justify his pronunciation of Bunnyman as "Bunnym'n"<br />
<br />
== Glitch? ==<br />
<br />
Is this thing playing choppy on anyone else's computers as well? It's still funnier than rated though. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
*What parts are choppy? Or is it just occasional? --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 22:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:I didn't notice any glitchy problems, but I did notice a big increase in the frame rate. {{User:Super Turtle/sig}} 22:19, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:This swf is streaming off of our (Telltale's) CDN instead of TBC's servers since the whole thing is pretty big. It may be that it was the increased size that sabotaged you.<br />
::You're not alone. The trailer constantly stutters on my computer, especially when Homestar turns up. (''"A-w m-a-n, t-hi-s d-an-g ol-' re-mo-t-e c-o-nt-r-ol..."'') Once again, I point the blame squarely at the server. If this is the case, then all we can do is come back later and try again. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:::Plus, if you look at your statusbar closely, the preloader doesn't preload the whole movie before the movie starts. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}<br />
::::Ok, since the movie plays before the entire trailer is finished loading, I've found a solution to the stuttering: start the trailer, then turn off your speakers and do something else for five minutes. Once the trailer has finally loaded and played through once, go back and play the trailer again. Because the movie has been temporarily downloaded and stored in the computer's memory, it should now play smoothly. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== What dimension? ==<br />
<br />
I'm actually not listening right now, as now isn't an opportune time, but wouldn't it make more sense for Strong Bad to give the "3 Ds" as "'''''Depth''''', Dimension, and Dumb idiots"? Or at least something that begins with a D? "Yeah" seems out of context. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:Corrected. It didn't make much sense, but I had trouble hearing that - now you say "Depth" it makes perfect sense and sounds right. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 22:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== SOOOOOOOOOOoo fast! ==<br />
<br />
Is it just me, or did the things in this "commercial" move faster than most homestar stuff?<br />
:Yes, things seem to move "faster" due to the higher framerate as stated in the Trivia section. I only wish they would use this all the time. Looks so much better. Probably requires a lot more work though. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 05:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<br />
::Yep. TBC have talked about this in interviews 'n stuff. [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007]] comes to mind; here's a quote from that:<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''MIKE:''' Um, and that's how we learned to animate, so we have rarely...done a few things at 18 or 24 frames a second, and of course it takes us way longer, so we, we stick with 12.<br />
</blockquote><br />
::Good thing to watch if you haven't watched it already. And as far as I'm concerned, they can keep doing it at 12 if it means a new cartoon just about every week (as they mention in that public appearance). {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:::I would definitely rather have faster updates than faster framerates {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 08:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
::::Agreed with Joshr915. I'd love faster updates too. Although with faster framerates, it means tweens/etc. have to be on the movie set for longer. When you lower the framerate, they don't have to be on as long. I think it may have something to do with the fact that TBC wants to not have their movies over a certain filesize too. More frames means bigger size. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}<br />
<br />
== They're not serious, are they? ==<br />
<br />
...are they? --{{User:Haldo/sig}} 23:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:We're totally serious :) --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 23:14, 10 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
::Wow! {{User:Haldo/sig}}<br />
<br />
<br />
== Let me guess...==<br />
<br />
...some really late and meticulous April Fools day prank? {{unsigned|Del20nd|00:33, 11 April 2008}}<br />
<br />
:I really don't understand why you people don't understand reality is reality. This is '''REAL''', and it is '''REALLY''' going to happen. They have the press release, which states it's real. TBC have contributed, and TellTale games went to a lot of freakin' trouble makin' this, I'm going to guess. TBC didn't make those graphics by themselves, and one company wouldn't go to that much trouble putting what I'm guessing was around about 3-6 months into just making 3d graphics and screenshots, pages on their official website, etc., for like, 2 cartoons about 3 minutes long a piece. If this isn't real, than somebody call me cap'n of the gravy train, and shoot me hard with a water-pistol. Not that that would hurt anyway, but still: THIS WILL HAPPEN. I guarantee it. [[User:DevonM|DevonM]] 00:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::As will I :) --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 00:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::it's an ok argument, DevonM, except those people went into a lot of freaking effort for that "legend of zelda" movie trailer, and ''that's'' not going anywhere (really wish it was, though) --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 03:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::But there's also the fact that... um... IT'S NOT APRIL FIRST. Seriously, this is why I hate the internet and magazines with regard to April Fool's Day, you start getting accusations of early jokes and late jokes, and people posting stuff later on thinking it's true, causing other people to think it's true until they find out the source... Jokes should only be ON April 1st. So no, this is real. -[[User:ComputerBox|ComputerBox]] 03:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
On a second note, you an clearly see the game "Coming soon" in the wii games on the games page. [[User:F123979|F123979]]<br />
:ya, not to mention I've already seen this on a billion news blogs already. Should be sweet and extra real :P<br />
<br />
== Real email? ==<br />
<br />
Hrm, was just wondering.. is this a real email, or did TBC/Telltale make it up for the purposes of the ad? I guess the same will go for the emails in the game itself, since the trailer shows that you'll be able to see some. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 00:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:We don't know, and we can only speculate - especially about the in-game emails. I'm assuming that the email from this ad is made-up, since it says that this is not a real sbemail.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
::According to [http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=62067&postcount=5 this Telltale Games forums post], all emails in the game will be made up for legal reasons. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 11:50, 13 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::: Since you all probably missed the e-mail song at the beginning (I'm assuming this by the way the discussion is going) but strong bad himself says he's checking e-mails for money. Meaning Tell Tale Games paid him to do it, which is true. Because if you make an advertisement, you must pay the actors that appear in it. Although you can always force the actors to be listed as "volunteers." I don't think that's fair though. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}<br />
::::Uh...Iyeru, most sbemail songs aren't actually relevant to the email itself. I don't know off the top of my head if there's another sbemail that has a reference to him "being paid" to check emails, but I'm sure there's probably one somewhere. And you don't have to pay the actors, its usually just standard to do so. {{User:DevonM/sig}}<br />
<br />
==Strong Bad's House==<br />
Forgive me if one of these already exists but... Someone should study that toon and create a layout of Strong Bad's house. Well, at least as complete a diagram as possible with the rooms he showed. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 05:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:Seeing the trailer, I think the layout we saw here is actually going to in-game. (This is just a speculation) I think we shouldn't rush off, since if we wait we can just play the game, and that will be much easier. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
::If his whole house is in the game that would definitely be easier, ya. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 08:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I also believe the DVDs outline some of his house too. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}<br />
<br />
== Incorrect ==<br />
<br />
The folloing remark:<br />
<br />
The link at the end of the ad, "learn more at telltalegames.com", was inactive at first, and activated soon after the cartoon's release. Now, however, the link is not clickable at all, neither is the back button next to it. However, it is clickable in the Flash File. <br />
<br />
...I believe isn't true. I have watched the toon on the website three times now, and the link to telltalegames.com works, as well as the back button. I am wanting to know what we should do with this knowledge. [[User:Andrewnuva199|Andrewnuva199]] 18:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:If that's the case, then I will add it to the article. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:It still is unclickable for me, at least in Firefox 2.0.0.13. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}<br />
::Just checked. Although they highlight, they do not work for me. I am using IE 7. Not added to article after all. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:::It's possible that they used an swfLoader function/file onsite to load an offsite swf. If that's the case, it's no wonder the links won't work; we have this problem on [http://www.sheezyart.com SheezyART] a lot because of that. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}<br />
<br />
It's working fine for me, even though my iMac is incredably slow and makes this cartoon almost unwatchable. I think it should say that it works on some computers, since that's how it seems to be working. -Ben, who really needs an account here.<br />
<br />
==A price?==<br />
<br />
Mike and Matt already have my money, how much of it do you think they want? -NoAccount 20:22, 11 April 2008<br />
:The [http://telltalegames.com/strongbad/faq FAQ] says it'll cost similar to their other episodic games... [http://www.telltalegames.com/store/samandmax which generally cost $9 each]. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Greasemonkey Seekbar Errors? ==<br />
<br />
Is anyone else finding it impossible to navigate this toon using the Greasemonkey seekbar script?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 08:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:My theory is it is because the Flash file is hosted on another site. The seekbar attempts to work but fails. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
::Your theory is correct. If you host the Flash file and the HTML file on the same site, the seekbar works fine. It's just Flash's security at work... massively oversimplified, it boils down to "stuff from different sites can't interact"... JavaScript stuff, like the GM script, are treated by Flash as if they were part of the HTML page (because, for all it can tell, they ''could'' be)... which was served by www.homestarrunner.com. They're trying to interact with the SWF file, which comes from telltale.vo.llnwd.net. So they're different sites, and Flash severely limits what the JavaScript can access... it can read where the Flash movie is up to (so the seekbar works as a progress bar, subtitles should still work, etc), but you can't seek, or pause, or anything like that. There's not much I can do about it... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== 3D Style ==<br />
<br />
The 3D-Style shown throughout the advertisement looks similar to Google's Sketch-Up way of rendering by a lot. Is this notable? (If this were made in blender, it would have taken a long, long, long time to make it so simply.) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}<br />
:Although I have no clue if this is true or not, I remember reading something on the Telltale FAQ that they made all the stuff in what they call the "Telltale Tool". {{User:DevonM/sig}}<br />
::Although I believe there's no downloads for that tool. You can see other places where they discuss it, like [http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14355 here] and maybe... [http://www.telltalearcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3381 here]. Seems it'll probably be purchase only though. So if I went into the 3D-business, I'd probably use Blender.org's tool. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}<br />
<br />
:::Correct. The Telltale Tool is our custom developed in-house game engine and development tool. We don't release it for download or purchase. The shipping versions of the game include a very stripped down version of the tool that contains only what is needed to run the game. Blender is something altogether different. For our modelling, we use Maya. <small>&mdash; [[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] ([[User talk:Tabacco|talk]]&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Tabacco|contribs]]) 18:42, 12 April 2008 (left [[HRWiki:Standards#Do sign your Talk posts|unsigned]])</small><br />

::::Once again, a non-free progrum. (See [http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7635018 here]) I'm amazed that less progrums are free around the webs. -- (Iyeru-Guest)<br />
<br />
:::::I'm not really sure why you're concerned that we use non-free software to make the game, but okay. If you desperately want a free copy of Maya fro some reason, you can grab the [http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7639525 Personal Learning Edition] from their website to play with. But again, I'm not sure why it matters.

<br />
::::::All I want to know is how easy the Interface is, and how much effort you really are putting into it. So far, I'm not exactly pleased with what I see. Sure, it may be a fun game, but that doesn't mean it's going to go good for you. You're starting to sound rather selfish in my opinion. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}<br />
<br />
:::::::Man, at this point I'm not even sure what you're talking about. You're confusing the game engine and the tools we use to make the game with the game itself, and somehow confusing the tool used to model characters and environments with the game as well. Playing the game doesn't require that you own Maya, a copy of the Telltale Tool, or anything except the game. As I said before, you seem extremely determined not to buy the game, so I'm not sure why you keep raising a fuss over weird subjects. --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 22:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::::::What are you talking about Iyeru? You really make no sense whatsoever. Aren't they putting enough effort into it cause they aren't using free software? Are you afraid a too complicated interface makes the developer too selfish? "It may be a fun game, but that doesn't mean it's going to go good for you" sounds like a suggestion to drop the whole thing because... well, why really? Keep in mind that this is no random fangame made by someone with too much time on their hands, but a serious company that has developed several games and are officially working together with the brothers. <small>&mdash; [[User:81.231.119.248|81.231.119.248]] ([[User talk:81.231.119.248|talk]]&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/81.231.119.248|contribs]]) 22:47, 12 April 2008 (left [[HRWiki:Standards#Do sign your Talk posts|unsigned]])</small><br />
<br />
::::::::Ok, far be it for me to butt in here, but... if I'm reading into it what I think I am... is Iyeru complaining because the tools used to make the game aren't free? I... don't really get it. So, what, should we just not play video games unless the tools the developers use are freeware? Although not professionally, I *do* dabble in game creation myself, and I -- and I imagine the ones making *this* game -- would really prefer not to be judged by the tools I used to do so, but rather on the game itself and how fun/playable it is. -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:06, 12 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
===I'm Sorry ===<br />
<br />
I'm sorry guys, my head's a little confused all day today, probably shouldn't have gone off at how I loathe non-free software so much. It isn't right to bring my problems to other communities like that. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}<br />
<br />
== AdVERtisement ==<br />
The entry describing the pronunciation of "advertisement" doesn't need to be included. Strong Bad is pronouncing the word correctly. "AD-ver-TISE-ment" is a common error which has become so ubiquitous that it is often viewed as correct. It is analogous to foliage ("foil-age" instead of "fol-ee-age") or nuclear ("nuke-u-ler" instead of "new-clear"). Pronouncing a common word properly is not an inside reference. <small>&mdash; [[User:99.254.79.96|99.254.79.96]] ([[User talk:99.254.79.96|talk]]&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/99.254.79.96|contribs]]) 18:25, 13 April 2008 (left [[HRWiki:Standards#Do sign your Talk posts|unsigned]])</small><br />
:Yeah, but its an inside reference because most people don't pronounce it "ad-ver-tis-ment". They pronounce it the other way. And I don't think that "advertisment" is the right way to pronounce it. Can you show some proof? [[User:DevonM|DevonM]] 18:28, 13 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
::At least here in the States, AD-ver-TISE-ment is standard (see [http://www.bartleby.com/61/56/A0105600.html American Heritage Dictionary], [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/advertisement Merriam-Webster]). I understand the situation may be different in the Commonwealth countries, but as this is an American cartoon, we base remarks on US English practices. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:31, 13 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:::I thought the same thing, actually - I wrote the transcript for this, but the first line was already there, and I originally removed the pronunciation 'stage direction' because it seemed perfectly normal to me, what with my being English. Since other people evidently found it worth remarking on, I guessed it was something to do with US pronunciation. Not sure how that happened though; "AD-ver-TISE-ment" sounds rather clumsy, like someone sounding out a word they'd not seen before, whereas "ad-VER-tis-ment" runs off the tongue better. Of course, I say "fol-ee-age" and "new-clear" (kind of.. "new-clee-ar"?) too.. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 02:05, 14 April 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Two stories.. orly? ==<br />

"In HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS! and Sbemail 150?!?, the computer room was one floor up from the couch. However, Strong Bad descends two sets of stairs to get to the couch, making it two stories down."<br />
- I don't know. Maybe it's a split-level? Or. Maybe Strong Bad's house was architected by [http://www.warrenrobinett.com/ Warren Robinett]? :D [[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] 23:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:In Sbemail 150?!? there IS a story between the computer room and the "basement," note the sudden switch to blue in a few frames. Although you're right about payplus, but it could always be a dimensional shift between the floorboards, that's always possible, even in the real world, if you're lucky enough. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}<br />
<br />
::I think we can regard the Pay Plus "toons" (a few seconds is not even a short, in my mind) as much canon as the [[personal favorites]] emails. They just look real, but they aren't. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 08:12, 14 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:::Pay Plus was, after all, an April Fool's joke. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
::::Although the Grape Nuts Robot was later referenced, even though that e-mail never existed. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}<br />

== Wii browser ==<br />
<br />
The Wii's Internet Channel runs Flash Player 7... this clip is obviously designed for a later version of Flash Player. Is this that notable? Many H*R things (especially the games) don't work in earlier versions of the Flash player, and we tend not to note it as a glitch... it's just another Flash artefact (which would go under Remarks if we felt the need to mention it at all). I don't want to delete it without discussion, since it's so long and detailed, and quite a few people have worked on it... but I really don't think it needs to be noted, certainly not as a Glitch. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 10:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
:I agree, this is not notable. The ad was simply not designed to be watched on a wii - which is not out of the ordinary.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I also have to agree. However, this depends on the base of the browser as well. The nDS Browser is Opera, which can be updated to have Flash Player 8+ but only if you are able to save the flash installer to a harddrive, which the DS lacks. Although I'm sure nintendo made their own browser for the Wii. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}<br />

==First 3-D clip: Real-World Reference?==<br />
<br />
Does anyone recognize the background on the first 3-D clip shown in this thing? It looks really familiar, but I can't place it. If I had to take a wild stab, I think it reminds me of something in an old LucasArts adventure game or something. I could just be crazy, though.</div>63.229.175.240http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/SBCG4AP_Gameplay_TrailerSBCG4AP Gameplay Trailer2008-04-14T14:12:31Z<p>63.229.175.240: /* Transcript */ edited some really weird grammar</p>
