New SBCG4AP details - Homestar Ruiner!
Posted by emily May 14, 2008


With the premiere of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People fast approaching and the official launch of WiiWare this week, it seemed like a good time to spill some more beans about the series -- just the news you've been waiting for!

The first episode, Homestar Ruiner, kicks off a typical day in the House of Strong, with our hero answering emails, dominating in video games, and setting out to pummel his enemies. Then Strong Bad's scheme to win the tri-annual Race to the End of the Race lands him with an unwanted guest: his dimwitted adversary, Homestar Runner. Now Strong Bad must find a way to get the disgraced athlete back on the Free Country, USA A-list (and out of his house).

Homestar Ruiner is the first of five SBCG4AP episodes, and will be available for WiiWare and PC. We'll dish out some more details before the launch, but until then, the new gameplay video and screenshots on the Strong Bad page should tide you over. And don't forget about the dev blog, which is updated by Strong Bad himself (almost) every week!

Quickie Weekend Contest: Get your name in the game!
Posted by emily May 9, 2008
Hey hey, this contest is for those of you who bother to check our blog on a Friday. Way to go!

You have the chance to get your name (or screen name, if you prefer) into the first episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. Where will your name show up? We're not telling... it'll be a surprise... but it'll be awesome, promise.

What do you have to do? Simply come up with a tagline for Snake Boxer 5, the arcade game that plays a pivotal role in the episode. (Okay, maybe not pivotal. But it's fun.) The images below will help give you an idea of what Snake Boxer 5 is all about. The rest is up to you.


To enter, send your proposed tagline to contest@telltalegames.com with "Snake Boxer 5 contest" in the subject line. Also include the name you want used in the game if you win (either your real name, or your screen name of choice). You can enter as many taglines as you want, but only one can win and spamming us will be considered annoying, so use your best judgment. The contest will close on Tuesday at 9:00am Pacific time and winners will be notified that evening. Contest is closed, and winners will be notified shortly. Thanks to all who entered!

Special note from our lawyers: If we select you as a winner, you will be required to sign a release permitting us to use your name (or screen name) in the game. If the winner is a minor, then the winner's parents will need to sign the release on behalf of the winner. (We'll need your signed release back by Wednesday to include your name in the game, so keep this in mind if you don't have easy access to a scanner or fax machine...)

We have the best fans
Posted by emily May 8, 2008

A few people wanted to smash the pinata to pieces, so I hid it up on the trophy case where it blends right in...

I'm sorry it's taken such a long time to get this blogged up, because it kind of spoils the awesomeness. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, all these gifts started showing up at the office. For about a week, we had new goodies to enjoy every day. They were sent to us by a group of diligent fans who took up a collection and then came up with the coolest Sam & Max Season Two-related stuff to send to us.

There's more to this entry! Keep Reading »

Videlectrix on Wii game development
Posted by emily May 6, 2008
Telltale has partnered with a studio named Videlectrix to develop Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. This type of collaboration is new to us, but these guys came highly recommended by The Brothers Chaps so we thought we'd give it a try. (The experience has been.... interesting so far. Lead designer Mark Darin posted some of his impressions of Videlectrix here.)

Yesterday's update at Homestarrunner.com gives a unique glimpse into the minds of the guys we're working with. You should watch it, if only for reassurance that the game is in very capable hands.
