oh cool!
is there a Chapter 2 coming?
Comment by splash1 August 18, 2008, 5:46 pm
Heheheh, that was pretty good.

I like how the player has buttons down the bottom for "get link" and "get code"

If you click on them it should say "You can not get ye link"

For some, incredibly irritating reason, I can't seem to be able to watch this.
It's just a black square.
Damn.
Comment by plosnati August 19, 2008, 3:34 am

Where were the werewolves?
Comment by m0r1arty August 19, 2008, 7:29 am
That was awesome. Did it unfocus or was it my eyes? Also, Strong Bad isn't masked, it's his face. They used that in sbemails some kinda robot and new chair. Anyway, hilarious.
Comment by abcxyq August 19, 2008, 8:55 am
That was amazingly professional looking!

Late comment, but Strong Bad is almost painfully cute sitting there in the waiting room reading a magazine.
Comment by Lena_P August 20, 2008, 11:34 am
Awesome.
Comment by plosnati August 21, 2008, 11:54 am
Haha, this is great! - I think I remember that cinema, when driving through A and B street when we were on our way to Bellam, getting kinda lost.

Does the "Chapter One" mean there's going to be more of this good stuff?
Comment by Erwin August 21, 2008, 2:18 pm
There should be :)
Comment by tabacco August 21, 2008, 7:42 pm
