What Locations Do You Want To Visit The Most?

[Sterrance]

I'm so excited about this game cause we can now see all of Free Country is full 3D. I also can't wait to hopefully see the locations we barely know about. What I want to explore includes:

The King of Town's Castle. We know so little about this place, I'd love to see if the King enjoys any activity besides eating.

Homestar's Home. Wreck havoc on Homestar's own turf would be a lot of fun.

Old Timey Universe. I know it is one of the most hated Homestar places, but I for one would like to see Old Timey Strong Bad and assist him in his villainy.

Stinkoman Universe. This part of the Homestar world has a lot of room to grow, and they could have a ton of Japanese Video Game parodies here.

So that's what I wanna see, what about you guys? And BTW if the game has the same clever writing of Homestar and or Sam and Max, I'll be happy no matter what.

[BiggerJ]

The King of Town's Castle. We know so little about this place, I'd love to see if the King enjoys any activity besides eating.

Well, he has (or at least had) an arcade machine (http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Typing_Tutor_Turbo), but Strong Bad once used it as a heavy lourde.

I'd like to be able to walk around Bubs' Concession Stand, and... and...

SWEET CUPPIN' CAKES!

[xChri5x]

I really hope they do a Halloween episode. Since the series is starting in June the episodes will stretch over to halloween so it would be perfect!
I'd love to walk around the forest and run into other characters doing crazy things or go trick or treating like in "The house that gave sucky treats". It'll be neat to see how they can make Homsar an easter egg too!

[tobar]

What xChri5x said I wanna see the forest and then visit the stick....and you know wander around Strong Bad's house......

[tredlow]

The King of Town's Castle. We know so little about this place, I'd love to see if the King enjoys any activity besides eating.


You sure you want to know? here's a clue: he has a personal Poopsmith.

Also:

StrongBad: Do you have... a deep impact DVD?
Bubs: No!
StrongBad: Do you have... an MS paint picture of a brontosaurus having breakfast?
Bubs: No!
StrongBad: Do you have... a modestly hot Homsar?
Bubs: No!

[Kato]

Definitely Bubs', and of course we're all waiting to see exactly what the layout of the Strong house is :)

-Kato

[Sterrance]

You sure you want to know? here's a clue: he has a personal Poopsmith.

Good point. But considering what he was about to do with the Poopsmiths shovel in email Virus (before being being attacked by the Ugly One) I think the worst part is over.

And that reminds me, we need the TEEN GIRL SQUAD in the game! Telltale can save some money by barely animating them.

[Jake]

Old Timey Universe. I know it is one of the most hated Homestar places, but I for one would like to see Old Timey Strong Bad and assist him in his villainy.

Is it really hated? The Ballad of the Sneak is one of my favorite musical things in the whole H*R universe.

[Zoinker]

And that reminds me, we need the TEEN GIRL SQUAD in the game! Telltale can save some money by barely animating them.

TGS Comic generator? That would rock.

Oh, and sooooo stoked about this. Telltale, you're allready my favourite video game company ever, and you're STILL upping the ante! Can't wait to see what the other mystery series will be.

[nhaingen]

Is it really hated? The Ballad of the Sneak is one of my favorite musical things in the whole H*R universe.

Personally, it's not my favorite feature, but I appreciate the occasional Old-Timey toon. Ballad of the Sneak is wonderful and it sticks in your head like superglue (if you were to stick superglue in your head, that is. Please don't.) Oh, and The Homestar Runner's deadpan drawl coupled with the inept camera work always makes me laugh.

I adore the Cheat Commandos and I want to see them somewhere in this, though it's hard for me to imagine how, seeing as they're a cartoon within a cartoon. Maybe a Crack Stuntman appearance? :D I can't thank him enough for extolling the virtues of knife safety.

[TrogLlama]

I want to see a segment in a Strongbadman comic. There can be a puzzle where you have to get a danish.

[xChri5x]

Old Timey H*R is amazing! "That A Ghost" is hilarious!

[tredlow]

Is it really hated? The Ballad of the Sneak is one of my favorite musical things in the whole H*R universe.

Yeah, and Old-timey Homestar is either mike or matt chapman's favorite character.

[SoshiKitai]

Old Timey Universe. I know it is one of the most hated Homestar places, but I for one would like to see Old Timey Strong Bad and assist him in his villainy.

Really? Me and my gf love Old Timey Universe.
"Zounds! A sarsaparilla swimming hole! Last one in is a freemason! ~~ Jump!" (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail187.html)

Stinkoman (http://www.homestarrunner.com/underconstruction.html) and the Cheat Commandos (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail187.html) are a definite for me.
I'd like to maybe visit Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Land (http://www.homestarrunner.com/dween_cakes.html)... and their mini golf "resort" (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail174.html).

Hanging out at the po (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail174.html)ol (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail187.html) sounds awesome too.

I'd also like to buy my food at Blubbo's (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail81.html) (if you could even find food there) and that marshmallow restaurant stand (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail81.html). ( or dreadfully at Bub's, when he has one of his "specials" (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail102.html) ) Possibly I'd get SBLOUNSKCHED! (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail149.html) all over the place. Oh! And going to The Pizz (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail179.html) would be awesome too!

And work at the office (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail169.html), doin' business stuff (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail182.html). :P

Hyperlink overkill. :P I would add more, but then I'd link those too. And that'd take a while, and be more of an overkill.

[Juhsayngul]

There's far too much in the Homestar Runner universe to ask for everything.. Especially things that aren't exactly consistent with actual Free Country, USA. Much of the website's content is imagined by the characters.

[LuigiHann]

Much of the website's content is imagined by the characters.

That's one of the things I find most fascinating about the site... Strong Bad admittedly makes stuff up, and yet, the things he makes up become real over time. It's spooky if you think about it too much:D

[Behonkiss]

We need Stinkoman in some form in this game. A minigame, maybe, or a dream/fantasy sequence.

It would be neat to go to places characters have only talked about, too, like the Isle of Pom.

[Juhsayngul]

We need Stinkoman in some form in this game.
Why?

[xChri5x]

Are you asking for a CHALLENGE!!!

[BadStrong]

The places I wanna explore most are Strong Badia and Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad's town doesn't look like much, but it would still be cool to see; and it would be beyond total awesomeness if you could buy the hazardous items from Bubs'.

[Webbstre]

I registered just to be able to make my comment here:

The King of Town's Castle, and all the locations involved in finding the Yellow Dellow and finding the King of Town's sheep. Those locations would be quite... epic!

Also, I hope there is a chance to get this game (in English) via Wiiware in Japan. I haven't tried any Wiiware yet, but because I live in Japan and bought my system in Japan I am fearing I will be disappointed by my lack of access to Strongbad.

[xChri5x]

I don't see a problem with that. Isn't Wiiware just the internet connected to a wii anyway?

[Jake]

Wii Virtual Console has different lineups and restrictions in different regions (North America / Europe / Japan all have slightly different catalogs, for instance, and you can't purchase games available in stores outside your region -- eg if you have a North American console, you can't shop in the Japan store), and that is likely going to carry to WiiWare. We'd of course like to get the game on as many systems as possible, but other regions aren't something we have any concrete plans to talk about... at least not that I know about at 2 in the morning, alone in the office!

[Sabrewing]

Where would I like to visit the most?

The Spooky Woods. The dichotomy between the day- and nighttime versions could lend itself to some clever puzzles, and possibly some Silent Hill-esque references on the side.

Though, if what the wiki identifies as "imaginary" places are also being considered by the development team, I always wondered how completely generic Place from different town (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail99.html) would look. :rolleyes:

[BiggerJ]

I always wondered how completely generic Place from different town (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail99.html) would look. :rolleyes:

It'd probably be a location of some kind. It'd likely feature stuff. It'd be disappointing if they left out the thing.

Man, if Place was in the game, I would feel an emotion of some kind.

[xChri5x]

at least not that I know about at 2 in the morning, alone in the office!

http://cdn.channel.aol.com/aolr/risky-business-cruise-400a012507.jpg

[Sabrewing]

Mm, yes, you would likely visit Proprietor's Business, order a food from Nawn D. Skript Restaurant, and find a most important Arbitrary Collectible Item to advance further!

[Rubbercookie]

I saw it mentioned already. But I'll mention it again.
Visiting the Sweet Cuppin' Cake land would be sweet. ...and cuppin'... ...like cake.
At least if it acted like that land. I wouldn't want to be able to predict what's happening in there.
Also, if the place gets included, don't forget the code hiding behind the background (as seen in the SCC verison of the frontpage). It speaks.

Speaking of frontpages.
It would be cool if you could visit the location of the homestarrunner.com front page. Not as cool as visiting SCC land, but still cool.
Being near the front page has potential for quite a lot of happenings, I think.

[Kayube]

Oh, yeah. But that would only be in situations where you can play as Homestar. Then you know you could go "Toons!" "Games!" "Characters?" and stuff would happen.

[Rubbercookie]

For that matter Homestar could already be there, ready to spout out either of those.
But that would maybe be exactly like visiting the website... only in 3D.. and we like 3D.
I think the idea is cool, at least. It's been played with in the toons, and there's even a front page where you see from the back side of the front page.

If the location was included, it should be in every episode.
And like the different version of the actual front page, the buttons should do different things depending on the episode.
If this game wasn't called "Strong Bad", they could've used this entire thing as the game's menu. Random example following:

Toons - Re-watch key "cinematics."
Games - Play, Save and Load the main game.
Characters - Character bios.
Downloads - Nintendo Wi-Fi, connect to newsserver for message of the week and release date for later episodes, etc.
Store - Crash the game and boot Wii Shop Channel.
ey-jee-maaaail - Access unlocked SBemails.

[BadStrong]

How about Club Technochocolate? I personally find Coach Z hilarious, it'd be cool to see more of him too.

[Tenn1502]

There's an easy way to let the player go to all of the weird universes, he seems to have made up. It's called the Alternate Universe Portal from SBemail #150! (http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail150.html)

That could be a terrific plot developer.

[wefeelgroove]

I'm kinda hoping that they take the plunge and dig a few feet under Strong Badia in search of the lost ruins of Coldonesdry!

[BiggerJ]

I'm kinda hoping that they take the plunge and dig a few feet under Strong Badia in search of the lost ruins of Coldonesdry!

Am I the only person who is reminded of the city of D'ni (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D'ni)? A Myst tribute episode would be crazy but wonderful.

[TheTurnipKing]

The Stone Bridge, where Bubs and Coach Z had that knife fight.

[Cyberlink420]

The Stone Bridge, where Bubs and Coach Z had that knife fight.

OMG IT WAS POM POM N00B!

:rolleyes:

I wouldn't be too surprised if the bridge was there. Whether or not it serves a purpose, though, I can't say...

[Pkero]

Coach Z's Locker Room. You could occasionally find him taking a shower with the towel still around his waist. Haha. xD

Maybe the trailer home that Daddy Mudgeman lives in?

You should be able to actually go IN the King of Town's grill, so you can actually see where the cheat lives and what his place is like.

And maybe you could go to the house that gave sucky treats to get bonuses every so often? Or hints?

And maybe even CGNU! o:

[Juhsayngul]

Seriously, can't they make one joke without it becoming a canonical staple in the series?

[BiggerJ]

Seriously, can't they make one joke without it becoming a canonical staple in the series?

Nope. That's the problem with frequently referring to past events, characters, things and concepts, especially to the degree to which the Brothers Chaps do it.

Sorry to go on a tangent, but if I had a long running series with lots of continuity errors that obsessive nerds complained about, I'd make a large but cheaply made episode/story/whatever that would be canonical to the series' universe and fix all those errors but not be very good (not that I'd go out of my way to make it crap - it's just the likeliest outcome). It would have a warning saying that only people who whine about continuity should view it, and that people who actually want entertainment should stay away. I mean, things made for the express purpose of patching up the continuities of fictional universes tend to suck, so why pretend otherwise?

[MarkDarin]

...if I had a long running series with lots of continuity errors that obsessive nerds complained about, I'd make a large but cheaply made episode/story/whatever that would be canonical to the series' universe and fix all those errors but not be very good...

If I were the Chapmans, thats exactly the sort of thing I would specifically NOT do. In fact, the more people tried to impose some sort of continuity and turn the one-off jokes into canon, the more likely I'd be to make a new cartoon that intentionally destroys the previously established continuity! But then thats just my way of saying "Relax people! It's just a cartoon. Have fun with it!"

[Rubbercookie]

It would be cool to be able to visit strong bad's house two weeks into the future.
Two strong bads means twice the awesome.

[Jake]

Have you played Sam & Max Season Two? We just did that one recently, albeit without Strong Bad :)

[Drouge87]

Good point. But considering what he was about to do with the Poopsmiths shovel in email Virus (before being being attacked by the Ugly One) I think the worst part is over.

The reason I think he has a poopsmith is because he eats so much, and, well, put those together.;) >_<

Also What I really want to see is a episode where they go into the trogdor universe (as see in PQ) and the town would have to get out using random PQ items that would be awesome ^_^

But then thats just my way of saying "Relax people! It's just a cartoon. Have fun with it!"

I've actually had an idea in my head for a while for a character - a nerdy being who would enter the universe from outside it with the intention of fixing continuity. The character would be a nasty, petulant nuisance with a complete inability to actually enjoy the universe - an obvious parody of obsessive continuity nerds. Being an incurable continuity nerd myself, the character helps give me a bit of perspective.

I'm not sure if destroying Homestar Runner's continuity would be a good idea. It would depend on the percentage of fans who obsess over continuity. I wonder what that percentage is. I've seen them described on the forum as a 'small but vocal' group - maybe the Homestar Runner Wiki just makes them seem like a large group.

[Juhsayngul]

Also What I really want to see is a episode where they go into the trogdor universe (as see in PQ) and the town would have to get out using random PQ items that would be awesome ^_^
The problem with this kind of stuff is that Strong Bad or Homestar or anyone has not and could not have been in that kind of situation. It wouldn't make any sense at all in a point & click adventure game starring Strong Bad in his own world. It's just not the right format for those things to be done within. Does anyone else see this thread as sort of ridiculous?

[Shwoo]

I don't understand the hostility towards people who care about continuity. For some people, me for example, it makes it more fun to try fit everything that's been said so far together. If I just relaxed, I'd actually enjoy the toons less. As long as they're not annoying the people who find it more enjoyable not to think about continuity, what does it matter? I don't go around telling other people to nitpick things just because I prefer it that one.

And the people who let this stuff interfere with their enjoyment of the toons are in the minority. There are other types of Homestar Runner fans than the people who hang around the wiki. Though I really like a lot of the wiki editors.

[Juhsayngul]

The Chapmans have done a great job with being original. They're consistently making original/clever content that doesn't unnecessarily refer back to something they've already done, instead of just deciding to "draw Trogdor again!" Sure, they make inside references, but only when it's called for. How would Stinkoman or Old-Timey people or Trogdor fit in a laid-back, point-and-click-em-up adventure game seemingly centering itself around a lot of one-line jokes and an easy-to-grab-on-to story? Of course, it could never hurt to find little allusions to these things somewhere along the way.

What I'm not talking about is continuity, it's about sensibility.

Yes.

Keeping to the established realities and themes of previous cartoons while including some new content is just common sense and courtesy. By not messing with things that have already been established, you're treating long-time fans who have followed the series closely with respect and not messing with what they love, and by introducing new content you present them with MORE than just a playable cartoon.

If the only difference between the site and the game is the point-and-click-ability, I wouldn't spend money on the game at all. You can just go to the site for free and get the clicking out of your system with the easter eggs and Halloween 'toons.

There definitely needs to be new content and I really hope that Telltale and TBC will work together to be really creative with the episodes. I want some adventurous creative excursions, not just "oh, look, you can go to this universe that was in this particular email and mess around..." As a pretty devoted fan, as long as you don't drastically change what's already been done, I am fine with some experimentation as long as it is in the spirit of all that has come before.

So yeah, in essence, I am hoping for a lot of "new" with the "old" in this game. Continuity is only one of many factors I'm concerned about, and it isn't everything.

I think we're thinking less of the 'Hmm how can I rationalize this that'll be a fun time-waster' types and more of the "ZOMG YOU HAD BUBS EATING KETCHUP WHEN [obscure easter egg in a hidden toon] CLEARLY SAYS HE'S ALLERGIC TO TOMATOES YOU RUINED THE WHOLE SERIES WHINE WHINE WHINE*" type.

*This is exaggerated and entirely fictional, but you get the idea.

[Prankinyou]

If it's even possible, I would like to visit Sweet Cuppin Cakes area.

[TheTurnipKing]

OMG IT WAS POM POM N00B!

:rolleyes:

I wouldn't be too surprised if the bridge was there. Whether or not it serves a purpose, though, I can't say...
Whatever. He'll take what he can get.

Hmm, okay. I might've got the wrong impression about what the topic was about when I posted that. I was really tired.

But I don't know anyone remotely like that in the Homestar Runner fandom, and I know of a lot of people in the Homestar Runner fandom. I think it's because you need to have a healthy sense of humour to like it in the first place. But there still seem to be too many people who go "I enjoyed this email less than last week's email! HOMESTAR RUNNER HAS JUMPED THE SHARK!", which is kind of annoying.

[Jake]

Heh yes, given that there are hundreds of cartoons at this point, citing one in particular as ruining things is kind of silly.

[Thanny]

Personally, it's not my favorite feature, but I appreciate the occasional Old-Timey toon. Ballad of the Sneak is wonderful and it sticks in your head like superglue (if you were to stick superglue in your head, that is. Please don't.) Oh, and The Homestar Runner's deadpan drawl coupled with the inept camera work always makes me laugh.

I adore the Cheat Commandos and I want to see them somewhere in this, though it's hard for me to imagine how, seeing as they're a cartoon within a cartoon. Maybe a Crack Stuntman appearance? :D I can't thank him enough for extolling the virtues of knife safety.
This is an excellent example of the range of Homestar Runner. I love the Old-Timey cartoons, and couldn't care less about the Cheat Commandos.

I do have to insist, however, that anyone who doesn't find the line "I'm an abomination!" from Gel-arshie absolutely hilarious is absolutely bereft of a functioning sense of humor.

[Quuux]

With the way that strongbad fantasises so strongly when answering SBEmails, it wouldn't be too hard to have a mini adventure in any of the side-universes from H*R, just by having him answer a sbemail, and whoosh, into old-timey verse you go (though I don't know if SB is aware of old-timey or stinko-verse).

The old-timey and Stinkoman universes are actually special cases - rather than being alternate universes, they're actually parts of the main timeline. The old-timey world is the past of the main universe, so the main universe characters could easily find out about it with a bit of research. The Stinko-verse is actually the future of the main universe, but it also exists as an oddly prophetic anime in the main universe.

[Astrobilly777]

Wow, I would would REALLY like to see the whole map of strong bad and homestar's houses. maybe behind the consession stand? But yes, the oldtimey,stinkoman,and TGS enviroments too.

[Juhsayngul]

These games can't be over 40MB, y'know.
