Scope

So, I'm not sure how in-depth we should go on this page. I don't think it makes sense to transcribe all the blog entries — there's no reason to completely substitute the material people can go to the telltale.com page to view. I think giving a summary of each entry with an image, title, etc. would be good, and we can note any inside references, RWRs, etc. in the Fun Facts section. I dunno, maybe this page can be presented in a better way, but I've gotten it started.

On the other hand, I don't know if the Telltale page is going to be around permanently, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to have the transcripts backed up on somebody's computer... Trey56 06:33, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh, one more thing: in case anybody's wondering, this is being written by TBC [1]. Trey56 06:34, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Way ahead of you on the backup thing. I've currently got backed-up transcripts as well as all the images (since's there's currently one not on the wiki page). --BiggerJ 08:46, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Great! Trey56 09:04, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree: as long as the site is up, keep it very brief (we don't transcribe Strong Sad's Lament, and I think this would fall much of the same category). But if/when the Telltale site misappears, I think transcription would be more okay. --DorianGray 09:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for putting 'if' first! ;) --Tabacco 04:14, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Opera

In my install of Opera, I cannot scroll all the way through both entries - I can only read down to "They scoffed at the genre-bender "Strong Bad:" and that's as far down as it goes. Anyone else experience this? - Qermaq - (^T/C)  21:56, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

That happened to me once in Firefox, but refreshing the page fixed it... Trey56 22:01, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

It's a known bug and the programmer who made that page is on vacation. It will be fixed hopefully tomorrow when he returns! Thanks for the heads up TTGJake 04:10, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Sell it to the Glue Factory!

Any relation to Old Timey SB's claim of selling Sam to the Glue Factory? And if so, should it be noted? --71.121.142.173 02:59, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Doubt it. It's a common, old stereotype/expression. DAGRON 03:34, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Code blue!

Is Strong Sad "operating his own dang self" a plausible reference to Trauma Center: Second Opinion? – The Chort 18:16, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I must say that I immediately thought of the Trauma Center games when I saw that screenshot.. but it could well be too generic. -- Mithent 18:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

"See also" relevant?

i don't see why we need a see also to strong sad's lament. Just a Category:Blogs would do fine

It is relevant because it another externally linked "blog" written by a character. As there are only two at this time, creation of a category would be excessive. If there another such blog created, then we consider the category creation at the time. wbwolf (t | ed) 20:58, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Just wondering...

Umm... does anybody really understand the point of the latest blog entry? I mean don't get me wrong it's hilarious and I'm laughing just remembering it, but seriously, what the heck? It was just so random. Does anyone get what the point was supposed to be? Was it just to hold us over until Monday? --Acam30 02:12, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

So, the summary I put up for the current entry was kinda tongue-in-cheek. I was expecting someone to expand it, but since no one has, are we satisfied with it? -DAGRON 21:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Playable Demo

I think the Playable demo should have it's own page, it is an actual game, which actual things to do. TheThingé 20:00, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree- anony

Decapitation Swf

If you look at the swf file of the decapitation game, and reshape the window to see a little to the left, you can see Strong Bad's head on whoever's body you just chopped the head off of. Shouldn't this be mentioned somewhere? --TheDenzel 20:21, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Further, if you decapitate someone, and then right click and hit "Play", the Strong Bad-headed version of that character will be decapitated. Interesting, no? --DorianGray 20:29, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Is that intentional or just a weird thing in the coding? --TheDenzel 20:37, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Further observation: If you make the window taller than it is wide, the head turns into Strong Bad's as it hits the ground out of frame. This could be a link. --DorianGray 20:41, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
