Just finished ep1.

[Ezny]

Really liked it. Not a sports guy, though I've heard the name 'Homestar Runner' before somewhere.

Thought it was funny, and I liked the puzzle design. Thought the difficutly level was good too. Not too easy. Starting ep2 today.

Thanks TellTale. If it weren't for you guys, 'new adventure game' would be a term that wouldn't exist in my vocabulary. :)

[The Highway]

trust me, it just gets better.

Oh yeah in the next few games, you can conquor countrys, host a battle of the bands, star in a movie, and FACE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM7kh_LkuVE) TROGOR (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.html)

[The Highway]

[Ezny]

Yeah I wanna face Trogdor but those items are on backorder apparently! :mad:

I know the feeling. :o

Getting ready to finish ep2 in a few minutes. Probably start 3 today as well.

The trailers per game basically said all that on their own.

How is a downloadable game backordered?

I thought it was about sports at first too, but it's a series of Internet flash cartoons about nothing in particular.

An awesome series about that stuff I just wrote.

It's the part for the trogdor maschine that are on backorder. They will not arrive until Episode 5.

What he said. It's a line by Strong Sad in ep1 [probably remember now, right?], which I found pretty funny considering the ToMI DVD. :D


And man, that band Degenerate Octupus Insomniacs rocked so hard! I mean, I've seen bands rock before, but that 4 hour Thera-MAXXX solo by Homsar just blew my mind! :eek:

[The Highway]

i remember now!

Heh. :) Baddest of the Bands is actually the first time I ever even heard of a theramin before. Ever since I played that game, I have wanted a theramin so badly. :D

Theramins are awesome! I want to play one, hasn't happened yet though.

I first heard of them on the 'Ed Wood' special features' Howard Shore featurette.

[The Highway]

even after playing it i still dont understand what a theramin is supposed to do

Playing a theramin or playing strongbad?

edit: It's hard to explain, but here's my shot at it.

Theramin: Basically a box with a wire/antenna poking out the top. When you move your hand towards the wire it will make a noise, depending on how close, and how high or low on the wire you are. Higher is higher pitch, lower on wire makes lower pitch. The closer your hand the louder, and also effectes the pitch in a way. Then there's something else on the box that does basically the same thing, changes the sound, also, according to where your hand is placed. You never actually touch the instrument though.

It was used in like 90% of old sci-fi B movies.

[The Highway]

so it just distorts a sound? wierd.

Yeah, but you can use it to make actual music, and the result sounds pretty unique. The Legend of Zelda theme on a theramin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJYho56INKU) :D

You can hear a theremin as the lead instrument through most of the track "The Black Hole" (http://www.youtube.com/user/Xyrsk#p/u/163/hV170VGB7jY) in Sam & Max Season One's soundtrack (http://www.telltalegames.com/store/snm-s1-soundtrack). It's the instrument which sounds sort of like a synthesized version of a woman singing... sort of? You can hear it the most obviously starting around 1:26 in that track.

They're somewhat handy to make apparently (http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Build-An-Optical-Theremin/)
