Homestar Ruiner is here! (And boy, is it yummy!)
Posted by Emily August 11, 2008
Fact: The best thing about launch days is all the food people bring in.



While we're enjoying these sinfully yummy cupcakes (thanks, Mrs. Darin!), YOU can be enjoying Homestar Ruiner. That's right! The wait is over. The Strong Bad series premiere is here. Life is good.

Three ways to get Homestar Ruiner:
  • Buy it for PC! Just head over to our online store and choose between the $8.95 single episode or the $34.95 season bundle.

  • Buy it for Wii! This handy guide will tell you exactly what to do.

  • Check out the demo! If you're the type who likes to dip your toes in before taking the plunge, the Homestar Ruiner demo is exactly what you need.

If you happen to get stuck while playing, be sure to check out the game's official walkthrough. And don't forget to stop by the forums and let us know what you think.

Not in the UK yet.... will it ever arrive?

The WiiWare version is scheduled for this Friday. The PC version is available to customers worldwide.

Is there a season upgrade in the works?
Comment by TrogLlama August 11, 2008, 1:48 pm
Oh Friday!! Why do you take so long! :(
Comment by Mysterysheep August 11, 2008, 2:27 pm
According to the walkthrough, you have to clear his good name twice. Is that a typo? :)
Comment by Zaarin August 11, 2008, 3:23 pm
You shouldn't be looking at the walkthrough yet! Sheesh. :)

(Well spotted, though. It's fixed.)

Is there a season upgrade in the works?

Yep. You can buy that single episode with confidence. :)
Comment by Emily August 11, 2008, 3:55 pm
Alright! I plan to demo this game on the PC before getting it on WiiWare.
Comment by Awesome5 August 11, 2008, 4:44 pm
As the day has progressed, I've seen the following spelled out with the remaining letters:

1. HOMIE CANTER (the U became a C!)
2. I MOAN
3. MOAI

I'm sure there have been others, but for my own good I've been trying to avoid spending too much time near those sweet cuppin' cakes...

I sure hope the actual game is more interesting than the free demo cause actually that was yawn inducing. Oh well....I didn't think the dialogue was nearly as hilarious as the actual Strong Bad emails on the Homestar site.
Comment by charlesadams1 August 12, 2008, 10:59 am
I hope that the UK WiiWare version won't cost 1000 Wii Points.

Because that would have the UK Wii version costing £7.00. Whereas if I bought it online it would cost me around £4.50...

How many US dollars is 1000 Wii Points people?
Comment by I kicked The Cheat August 12, 2008, 11:12 am
1000 Wii Points equals 10 dollars of US currency.
Comment by mhaley August 12, 2008, 3:36 pm
Cheers. So that's £5 (pretty much). Then that should price it at around 700 - 800 Wii Points then. Seems more reasonable. Still more expensive than the PC version. Hope it's worth it.

I Loved It!

Comment by Billeke August 13, 2008, 1:39 am
There's always Sam & Max on the Wii, if you can't wait until friday... :P
Comment by SuperSam August 13, 2008, 12:12 pm
That sounds cool!
Comment by I kicked The Cheat August 13, 2008, 3:24 pm
Is it compatible with Windows Vista?
Comment by TheModestOne August 13, 2008, 3:45 pm
