So Where'd the Extra Homestar Come From?

[Bad Santa 1961]

There is an extra Homestar in the House of Strong near the end of the game. How'd this happen? Did the Homestar Clone Fairy make an unannounced visit? Or is this a bug? :eek:

Are you talking about how everywhere you go in the house, Homestar is already there? (on the couch, in the kitchen, in your room)

At one point, I try to get Homestar to finish his comic. I walk to the right, leaving him in the room with the drawing table, and go to the kitchen, and there he is, making candy. He seems to be in two rooms at once, as there's no way he could have gotten to the kitchen before me without passing me in the corridor. I've never read the comic; is this something that happens often? Or is this a dangling plot thread that will be tied up in future episodes? It seems odd that StrongBad would not have a wisecrack about seeing multiple Homestars in his house.

In this story, Homestar's just supposed to be annoying, basically getting everywhere you want to be before you can.

It seems odd that StrongBad would not have a wisecrack about seeing multiple Homestars in his house.

That might have helped convey it, for sure.

Thanks for the info! I feel better now... :)

Not quite a wisecrack, but after you see Homestar for the first time in the basement and go upstairs, you will get Strongbad saying:

"What? How? Huh? You wer just-"

This happens in either his bedroom or the kitchen depending on where you go first.

Thanks! I'll have to go back and reload a save game; I'm pretty sure I missed that. I'm having too much perverse fun kicking The Cheat into the dryer... :D
