And the Trogdor comes in DECEMMMMMMMMMBER! (http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/11/trogdoooooooor.html)
(from Wired.com, and the fact that they credit Telltale and have screenshots is a pretty good confirmation that it's real)

Yep, my face has been rocked off.
Oh well. It was time for a new one anyway.

Hmmm.... jumping off a limb here, but maybe this has something to do with the broken Trogdor game in the basement?

*Head asplodes from supreme awesomitude* Oh man, I REALLY hope one of the Telltale staff can confirm that this is real.

Ohh, so Telltale just releases one image, a small story for someone (like Wired.com) to write on their website's blog, and then someone finds it and brings it to Telltale and bam! Here we are?

So wait, is Trogdor the reason why we can't burninate phonics?

I also think the next SBCG4AP will involve a little magic.

Haha, that is great! Did you make it? Nice job if you did, 'specially since I'm a Potter fan.

As much as I'm excited for the Trogdor episode, I'm anticipating the Dangeresque game more, simply because that's my favourite cartoon on the site.

Will this fifth episode really come in December, though? All around Telltale's site it says "TBA", which makes me think that it will be released in January to avoid Christmas and people being on holiday.

By the way, it's not one of the greatest as it is one of the oldest ones I've done.

If you think about it. In episodes 1 and 2, they advertised trogdor. in episode 1 when you trim a certain tree i think at the KOTS castle. and on episode 2 the map has the picture of him. They were secretly advertising episode 5.:rolleyes:

Trogdor and Stinkoman have come to Free Country USA for unknown reasons. It's up to Strong Bad to figure out why they're here and what they want.

Interesting. And wasn't it telltale, a while back, the people that had no clue who Stinkoman is.

That WiiWare World article revealed stuff that we were hoping to keep as a surprise when the preview video comes out on Monday (and they took the page down when I asked), so anyone who did see it and wants to talk about it, please use spoiler tags.

It's already leaked to http://www.hrwiki.org, and I'm pretty sure blackmail won't work this time... those wiki peoples can get pretty violent towards the folks whom delayed SBCG4AP in June...

Will hundreds of Strong Bad's ideas come to life? WILL DOUREGARD TURN OUT TO BE THE TRUE MASTERMIND OF THESE LIVING DOODLES?!?!?!
Let's hope not, because sooner or later I will go insane from the wait.

As mind-blowingly awesome as this is, I'm not gonna get my hopes too high yet. He's not as big as Trogador (yes, Trogador, not Trogdor) is on the website and Emily's blog only states we'll catch a glimpse of him with no clues as to what his role will be.

Wired.com's article seems to be based entirely on that one screenshot too. So not only do we not know what he's doing there or how he got there, but we don't know how long he'll stay.

The title (if that will be the title) makes me think it's going to become one of those expanded universe cross-overs where it features most, if not all, the characters from all the other made-up realms on HSR's site. Including, but not limited to, the 20X6 gang (although there's only about six of them) and the 1936 gang.

Yellowtail

11/13/2008, 10:10 am

Here's an idea:
Trogdor is angry that his game is broken, so he comes to burninate everyone. Strong Bad needs to get a bunch of alternate versions of himself and other characters to defeat him, i.e. Sbemail 150.

"The web game begat Peasant's Quest, one of the most complex games on the Homestar Runner site. It's a parody of classic point-and-click adventure games like King's Quest in which a peasant attempts to get revenge on Trogdor for burning his cottage. "

....

This really annoys me.

Point-and-click? There is no pointing OR clicking! It's a graphical adventure with text parser and keyboard controls!

ONE of the most complex? More like THE most complex.

And Trogdor didn't simply BURN his cottage. We're not talking about a few scorch marks here. It's BURNINATED. At least go with "burned down", you bunch of underplaying nitwits!

Aside from the "Kerrek (http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Kerrek)" and "Trogdor (http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Trogdor)" versions of the Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer (http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Peasant%27s_Quest_Movie_Trailer), stinkogame.swf is the single largest Flash file on the site.
The Stinkoman 20X6 is actually a larger than Peasants Quest, however, the complexity is debatable.
