Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 5
8-Bit Is Enough
The epic season finale!

----

Release Date: Monday, December 15

----

8-Bit Is Enough is coming soon to PC and WiiWare!
Check out some screenshots and the "next time on..." video on the 8-Bit Is Enough (http://www.telltalegames.com/strongbad/8bitisenough) website!

The official description:
Trogdor must be stopped! The beefy-armed dragon of legend has broken free from his arcade cabinet and is burninating the land. With classic 8-bit games leaking into the real world and Strong Badia a fiery mess, only Strong Bad can take back the night and conquer this scorching menace once and for all. Does anybody know how to kill a dragon?

[StinkomanFan]

I love you for doing this.

[16_BIT_MARIO1]

One word: EPIC.

[Holyxion]

Yay! It's finally up! Still no confirmation on it coming in December though, I guess I'll just keep hoping.

[Gibbeynator]

Yay! It's finally up! Still no confirmation on it coming in December though, I guess I'll just keep hoping.

Honestly, I'm not holding out much hope. They would have had to announce the release date this week, that they were releasing it next week, for it to come out this month.

[Compy 386]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not the bear holding a shark!!!! Trogdor, you murderer!!! I even looked away when you killed Rather Dashing but this... YOU WILL PAY!!!!

*Sigh* Still, what is up with that room straight out of Reality 2.0 in the screenshots???

What kind of deity has that much time to waste?

Aand another thing-

is it likely to come out before Decemberween?

[metalkombat]

These screenshots solidified my belief that this game will be awexome. Somehow, seeing Strong Bad in the lineup of Mans makes me think that we may be playing through a 3D level of Stinkoman 20X6 as Strong Bad....

[YoshiAngemon]

Well, it must be SO big that there ISN'T a game for the Videlectrix Fun Machine, because it looks like Strong Bad actually goes inside a realm that is INSIDE the Fun Machine! Want me to say it? Okay.

WELCOME TO VIDEOLAND!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXGr3aBln38)

Seriously, something like this reminds me too much of Captain N: The Game Master, another great show released by Shout! Factory, the people who released Sam & Max: Freelance Police!

[poohead900]

Well, it must be SO big that there ISN'T a game for the Videlectrix Fun Machine.

There isnt ?!?!
aww....

[YoshiAngemon]

Wait, in one of the screenshots, it depicted "Halfathlon" in the background. That must be the game du jour.

[Strog Bad zawesomeness]

Just so you know I've been around here sence Baddest of the bands came out but this is my first time writing but on to the important part.

Yes their is go to this link: http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Halfathalon
All it is is proof for right now but it is proof

[YoshiAngemon]

Thanks for providing the proof to back up my statement.

[Strog Bad zawesomeness]

no problem

[Holyxion]

Wow, just got a chance to look at the screen shots(I was watching some sbemail DVD) and it it sent my awexomeness meter through the roof and made me pass out for a couple minutes, but I kinda wish I coulda passed out until it was released, 'cause this waiting is killin' me now.

[LuigiHann]

There are some truly delicious oddities in those screenshots. I want to play this game now.

[DarkStar Runner]

*speechless*

*continues to stare at the epicness*

[Lachlan_is]

Uh, question, seeing as the series is drawing to a close, will you do things similar to the Sam and Max dvd, case file and Soundtrack, I mean, I can see the practicality in a case file and dvd, but music has been rather minimal in this series in comparison to series like Bone or Sam and Max.

Thanks to all who respond, (I know, im such a n00b)

[YoshiAngemon]

Maybe a SBCG4AP Blooper Reel, similar to that of Sam & Max, complete with the theme from Ted E. Bear's Mafia-Free Playland and Casino.

[splash1]

It looks so awesome! The beefy arms, the world with video games, and Stinkoman Level 10! It all seems so awesome...

[LittleBuddy]

It's still early in the month, don't panic, NOBODY PANIC!!!!!! Ok, I think there is still a chance to see it before the year is over, most likely on the 26th (that's two weeks from now, announcement next week, Christmas gift the following).

The few screens I've seen look awesome (avoiding possible spoilers :P), can't wait to play it :D

[wisp]

i totally hope, that episode 5 will be out soon...i spend the last weekend playing hbo to finally attain maximum awesomeness for episode 3 and then played through dangeresque again to be ready for the 8-bit thing...and now, i have to wait until at least next week. oh cruel fate..

@lachlan_is: i think a sbcg4ap bonus disc ala sam & max is likely..at least for the pc. i am not sure if it was officially confirmed though. everything is possible, if we just beg nicely enough...

[Samman28]

SOME of the pictures are strange......

[georgethecow]

I hope this episode ties the first 4 together in some way...I'm gonna play through all of the first 4 once this one gets a release date.

[Jake]

Well, it must be SO big that there ISN'T a game for the Videlectrix Fun Machine

That's a large assumption to make, and maybe a strange one. "They're making an episode about video games, so I bet that this episode won't have a video game in it!" Dunno if that reasoning really rings true...

[Emily]

Hey guys, Christmas is coming early!

Nintendo just confirmed that 8-Bit Is Enough will be in this Monday's WiiWare update. We'll release the PC version on the same day. That's December 15, less than a week from now. Good times. :D

[poohead900]

Sweet! But that means that I lost 20 bucks (I was calling for the 22nd). It's all good, either way I win!.

[StrongBadinator]

aw, crap! after buying dangeresque 3, im broke! ah well, i guess i kan wait 'till Christmas.

[Snicklin]

I've devided to be smart! I'm waiting until the whole season is out, THEN buying it!

[georgethecow]

Well, the release was announced, so now I can start playing all the games again. Weird that it was announce a few hours after I said I was waiting for it.

[Lachlan_is]

@lachlan_is: i think a sbcg4ap bonus disc ala sam & max is likely..at least for the pc. i am not sure if it was officially confirmed though. everything is possible, if we just beg nicely enough...

Wouldn't it be AWESOME to have a disc that works in the wii and pc, (i know its a little far off and it'd have to be like a multi 5 hybrid whatever) BUT IT'D BE AWESOME!!! and in the case file, or strong sads box of memories, it'd have something from each ep, Dangeresques glasses, a fully complete teen girl squad, A homsar artifact, A mini cd (similar to that of the friendly demon song cd) of the two duo!!!!

Emily, Tabbaco, Jake, The Brothers Chaps!!! You've got to read this idea!!!!

[Lachlan_is]

Hey guys, Christmas is coming early!

BTW, Emily, I read that info on wikipedia 2 days ago, what do they know that we dont?!?!

[Compy 386]

Maybe a SBCG4AP Blooper Reel, similar to that of Sam & Max, complete with the theme from Ted E. Bear's Mafia-Free Playland and Casino.

Didn't you know that the item collection music is really from Reality 2.0?:p

8-Bit is Enough + Sam & Max season 2 coming to Wii X Decemberween=

WELL, MY HEAD ASPLODE!

So now that Season 1 is finished, (or is it??? The screenshots echo Reality 2.0...) will there be a season 2 (say yes)?

[Gibbeynator]

8-Bit is Enough + Sam & Max season 2 coming to Wii X Decemberween=

WELL, MY HEAD ASPLODE!

So now that Season 1 is finished, (or is it??? The screenshots echo Reality 2.0...) will there be a season 2 (say yes)?

Hold your horses. I'm no Telltale person, but I know a few things about business. Season 1 would have had to have been profitable for Telltale to consider doing a second season.

I don't doubt for a minute that the first season was profitable, but you have to consider it.

[DarkStar Runner]

De....de....fif....

Conscious....getting....fuzzy.....

Consider'd! So when's season 2 coming out?

[16_BIT_MARIO1]

Consider'd! So when's season 2 coming out?
Tomorrow.

[Strong Max]

8-Bit is Enough + Sam & Max season 2 coming to Wii X Decemberween=

WELL, MY HEAD ASPLODE!

So now that Season 1 is finished, (or is it??? The screenshots echo Reality 2.0...) will there be a season 2 (say yes)?

What?!?!?!? Reality 2.0 wasn't supposed to be the second to last episode?!?!?

Tomorrow.

Before the first one is done??

[YoshiAngemon]

Didn't you know that the item collection music is really from Reality 2.0?:p Yes, actually.

[StinkomanFan]

Before the first one is done??
No they finished it yesterday.

[Strog Bad zawesomeness]

Yay 8 bit is enough is coming on the 15. Wait a minute dang that was early but I don't really care. Also are they gonna post a gameplay video because it is coming soon and there is no video. Still hooray also I know the Videlectrix game and have an idea on how to get to it so I just can't wait

[Gibbeynator]

why does everyone assume it's going to be Halfathlon? Stinkoman 20X6 and TROGDOR! were in that picture too.

[Emily]

BTW, Emily, I read that info on wikipedia 2 days ago, what do they know that we dont?!?!

Seeing as not even Nintendo knew the release date two days ago, apparently Wikipedia is psychic. :rolleyes:

If we do another Strong Bad season, it won't be right away. We've got Wallace & Gromit in development and some mystery projects in the works... plus after almost a year of constant work on SBCG4AP, the team needs a break!

[Strog Bad zawesomeness]

Because it was on one of the screenshots and I have proof on page 1

[Gibbeynator]

You're using a Wiki as proof? You are aware that Wikis can be edited by anyone, to add any information into the page, right? I could go onto the main 8-Bit is Enough page and add in "You play as Stinkoman for one part of the game."

[Snicklin]

Yeah, but that part of the article would be deleted if it wasn't true.

So? If there is a screenshot and it is posted on Wiki it more then likely is true. Also Wikipedia seems to know about the game sense it knew when it was coming out before we did, and if it was false it would get deleted. I'm guessing we play Halfathlon like we usually do on the fun machine but all the other games we play as SB

Not to mention the Chapmen need to work on a new SBHRTCCZSCEmail.

[Emily]

Wikipedia didn't know when the game was coming out before anyone else did. Telltale and Nintendo didn't actually know the date until this morning -- which essentially means the release date didn't EXIST until this morning -- so the fact that someone posted it on Wikipedia two days ago is nothing more than a lucky guess!

[Compy 386]

What?!?!?!? Reality 2.0 wasn't supposed to be the second to last episode?!

I dunno, but all I know is that Reality 2.0 was the one of most mind-boggling games in the 1st season, and it was an Ep. 5...

My point is that they seem to be on top of the games information and knew that the game For the Fun Machine was Halfathalon because it was on Wiki and there was pic and they seem to be updated on the game no more then that

[GaryCXJk]

Telltale and Nintendo didn't actually know the date until this morning
*cough*

Don't you mean

This mo'nin'! This mo'nin'! This mo, re-mo, re-mo-mo'nin'!

Mmmm... IGN correctly "guessed" SBTF's release date, and I think someone else did that, too...

Does Telltale and/or Nintendo have a mole in their midst?

[Strongsadioware]

I think there will be a DVD. But still, looking forward to this episode, mainly because going to Planet K, Stinkoman and Trogdor, the block thing w/ Strong Sad and the Poopsmith, etc.

I wish you do release a casefile and soundtrack, but a man can only dream.

By the way, have it by A-This Monday! This Monday! This mo, re-mo, re-mo-Monday!

[Shauntron]

Does Telltale and/or Nintendo have a mole in their midst?

Clearly this mole has mastered time and space.

[Compy 386]

Why is everybody quoting "love poems"?

I'm gonna ignore these starting A-This mo-ment! This mo-ment! This mo-re-mo-re-mo mo-ment!

[Compy 386]

Clearly this mole has mastered time and space.

Oh, I dunno... the last time we encountered a mole, he was mass-producing hypnotic teddy bears... Aand don't forget the Snap flap Shack!

[metalkombat]

Wow. This is coming LOT sooner than I thought it would. I'm almost sad, seeing as to how I don't have money on my Wii Shop Channel...

*runs to nearest Walmart*

[bigdondoo]

apparently Wikipedia is psychic...

They do have pages about the 2010s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010s), 2030 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2030) and the 30th Century (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30th_century)...

Not that I believe that...

[YoshiAngemon]

Not to mention the Chapmen need to work on a new SBHRTCCZSCEmail.
Uh, I think it's just sbemail. But, we have yet to see an email 201.

[baloneyman]

Holy pixelated Trogdor!! Sweet styles, TT! I wonder if we will see the fire-breathing cobra from SB5??

I'm not expecting it really, just a random thought... :)

---Hang on! A SATURDAY release? Well cramp my style! I gotta get me some Wii points. :D:D:D

[poohead900]

---Hang on! A SATURDAY release? Well cramp my style! I gotta get me some Wii points. :D:D:D

Umm, I think your calendar is still set on November. The 15th is this Monday.

No worries, mine was too.

[Gluttony]

This is going to be the BEST december EVER!!!

[Strong Max]

Man Telltale. when I get my degree, I will either try to work for you or Rareware(theyneedallthehelptheycanget)

[Holyxion]

Man, this psychic Wikipedia thing is getting pretty suspicious, I mean think about it, they've known the release of just about every game and name of every Funmachine game before it was announced, and were right every single time, so either they must have some of the most incredibly lucky guessers on the planet, or they must be somehow learning this before it even exists.

[m0r1arty]

High fives and early present for all the Telltale team.

Nicely done guys, really looking forward to this.

-m0r

[GaryCXJk]

Uh, I think it's just sbemail. But, we have yet to see an email 201.

It's not even sure if the next email will be a sbemail. It can also be a hremail, or a czemail or a memail, tcemail, kotemail, poopmail, scemail, marshemail...

[splash1]

December 15! I knew it!!! And the Trogdor comes on the FIFTEEEEENTH!!!!!

[ig0rpwnwEd]

and some mystery projects in the works...

Oooh! What is it!?!? I kidnapped your son, if you don't have one, I kidnapped your wife, if you don't have one, I kidnapped your dog. If you let me know what the games are, I'll let your grandma live.

[meretchen]

Awesomeness!
And how true it is: Eight bit is enough.

[GaryCXJk]

if you don't have one, I kidnapped your wife,

Don't want to sound offensive, but gay marriage still isn't constituted a legal marriage in the US.

[Emily]

they've known the release of just about every game and name of every Funmachine game before it was announced, and were right every single time

I think you're rewriting history a little bit there, but whatever. :p

[YoshiAngemon]

You think that after 206 Emails (200 Online, and 6 DVD Exclusive), they'd hand the Email Checking Throne over to Homestar Runner, or Coach Z, or even The Cheat? Not gonna happen!

Other than that, maybe at the end, it would have a victory party in honor of Strong Bad stopping Trogdor, and like Strong Bad said in "Homestar Ruiner," Strong Mad writes it, thanks to Marzipan, and it says "Contagulate, Stong Bag!"

[ig0rpwnwEd]

Man Telltale. when I get my degree, I will either try to work for you or Rareware(theyneedallthehelptheycanget)

You want a degree in video game development? You my want to check out Full Sail University. Here's a link to their game development page (http://www.fullsail.edu/flash/index.cfm?degree=game-development).

[Yellowtail]

By the way Telltale, are you going to make this pre orderable in advance like Actionsodes 3 and 4 were? I'd appreaciate it because that way I can start to download as soon as it comes out.

[poohead900]

I'd appreaciate it because that way I can start to download as soon as it comes out.

I dunno if you're on Wii or PC, but the night of the 14th I'ma fire up all the possible download names that the demo could be named in my spiffy download manager, with infinite retries on failed resolve. If one does match, the minute Telltale releases it (if they post the file using the same techniques as the previous episodes), My download will start! When my computerbox says TAH-DAH, its burnination time.

I think I'm overthinking this.

I hope our server doesn't interpret that as some sort of attack and ban you!

[poohead900]

Me too. Just to be sure, I'll have my external MAC change every time I get "banned"...

Yep, overthinking this way too much. Ima just check in every once in a while Monday to see if it's up yet.

You better play as him for a part of it. I'm not doing Level 10 as Strong Bad.

[Compy 386]

Husky Heads are not so good for platforming.

[Strog Bad zawesomeness]

If you go to the link http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Halfathalon (also shown in one of my older comments) it shows the cover art of the new game for the fun machine

[Strog Bad zawesomeness]

When is there gonna be a gameplay video

[heavybassX]

HOLY SHIT! Trogdor destroys Strong Badia.... oh please let there be a 2nd season after this, this can't be just 1 season full of win.

[georgethecow]

Husky Heads are not so good for platforming.

True, true.

[Compy 386]

HOLY ****! Trogdor destroys Strong Badia.... oh please let there be a 2nd season after this, this can't be just 1 season full of win.

Hugh Bliss would not approve.:mad:

[Strog Bad zawesomeness]

This post is starting to get less popular I mean in 1 day we wnt from 1 to 4 pages and now we gat like 3 posts a day. Also can someone announce when there is going to be a gameplay video? Also on the Dangeresque 3 website it said there was going to be 2 gameplay videos. Are we ever going to see the 2nd?

[GaryCXJk]

I think the second would probably be a full compilation of 10 second screenshots full of wonderful things that did not make the not-made-the-cut. Or... just completely forgotten for four and a half years, after which we finally get the gameplay footage we wanted.

[Strog Bad zawesomeness]

Well I hope it comes soon

[Strog Bad zawesomeness]

good old Wiki states that Halfathlon is a Semi-Legendary Soviet Semi-Athlete Putchnya Shotski kind of game

[Yellowtail]

Please make an individual pre-order for this one. I can't stand the waiting if there isn't one.

[Emily]

Yellowtail, check your PMs. :)

[fhqwhgads]

I just need to say that the day the Chapmans wrote their book, they started something that is going to reach the ultimate of awesomeness on December 15.

I'm both ecstatic and afraid of 8-bit is enough. No such awesomeness might ever exist.

[16_BIT_MARIO1]

Actually, it was Mike Chapman and Craig Zobel, not both the Brothers Chaps.

[Compy 386]

Ha, with Videlectrix at the wheel, I'm pretty sure they'll manage to raise the bar again... or, maybe just their cheezy mustaches.

[Yellowtail]

TELLTALE IS AWESOME.
Why am I yelling this? Because they sent me Episode 5 for free!
And saved me from having to clean out a kennel full of duck crap. And no one wants to do that job.
:D

[Strog Bad zawesomeness]

For free? They sent it? You...don't have it yet, right? Right?

So, is anyone else playing through the episodes? I've done 1-3 so far, and I'm doing 4 today.

[The Burninator]

I get it for free to!! YAAAAAY!

[Samman28]

I dont get one....

[georgethecow]

I get it for free to!! YAAAAAY!

Yeah? Yeah? Well...I DON'T! So, I am special, because I am different.

[Gibbeynator]

Then I'm different too

[Yellowtail]

For free? They sent it? You...don't have it yet, right? Right?

So, is anyone else playing through the episodes? I've done 1-3 so far, and I'm doing 4 today.

Of course I haven't got it yet. I just have the code.

This episode will be so awesome, it needs no gameplay video.

GAMEPLAY VIDEOS ARE NO PLACE FOR A MIGHTY WARIOR! chhhhhhhh. LATH'd!

[DarkStar Runner]

Oh, fudge.... Here's my problem. I'm doing my Geography project on LBP.... and If my teacher approves, I'll be working on it all week.... Which means I won't be able to play it tomorrow...

Crap.

Dude, you HAVE to play this episode! Don't make me get the Ak-47 and Tazer Darts again...

[georgethecow]

Ok guys, only....um....a bit more than 14 hours remain! Now, I need to post a few more times to get 100 posts here. Just in time. Hey, did anyone else play through every episode without skipping the dialouge? I did, and noticed something: In the "Please don't try to handle my style" song, Strong Bad says "Like a burning car, like an imploding star!", refrencing the cover in Episode 3.

[HomsarGuy]

I knew that for a while.

[metalkombat]

And now, the last lap of the wait for the epic season finale of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People has begun. Man, tonight and tomorrow (at least until after school) are going to be painfully slow.

[GaryCXJk]

Yeah, it's 6 AM in the morning in the Netherlands right now, and in about a few hours, I'll have to go to college for a test, so for me it will be a sort of long wait.

But I wouldn't play it that soon anyway, last SBCG4AP first play-troughs I always played it at night, so I prefer this experience to not be that different. So, while most of you guys have already finished the episode final, I'll still be playing this game.

That's how hardcore I am.

[PinballFortress]

I guess I got up too early for this. It's 11.08 UK time now, so I'll go out for a walk with my DS full of Monkey Island to get my mind and body ready for the POINT AND CLICK AWESOMENESS.

[Jake]

Its probably about six hours until the file's up on North America WiiWare (which is the time we shoot for for the international PC release).

[16_BIT_MARIO1]

GAH. I have to go to school today. I can't get it at 12:00 exactly like 3 of the other episodes...

[DarkStar Runner]

Darn LBP....

Darn School...

I WANNA STAY HOME!!! :(

[Tsunamo]

only a few hours till it releases =) unless im wrong which i could be because im in Australia

[metalkombat]

*sigh*.....

I desperately needed a violent blizzard last night. Sadly, that didn't happen, so there will be no snow day for me today. Well, on to endure the longest school day I have yet to endure in my life.

*trudges out the door*

Hahahaha! Slush day for me- Who ever said outdated electronics and Artic watelands don't mix? :p

...ah, but I still have a little bit of homework, and I have to shovel the slush off of my roof. :(

[Tsunamo]

[ShaggE]

In Soviet Russia, Strong Bad waits for release of YOU!

[Samman28]

Telltale hurry up plz!

[Compy 386]

Day 15
9:31 am
Still waiting for 8-Bit.
No time is released.
Pray that I may not run out of grumblecakes until then.

[Gibbeynator]

Woo, 2 and a half hours until the finale

[Samman28]

Guys, wait for the site to go UNDER THE KNIFE okay?

[Baron Pedro]

I was a little disappointed with last months offerings, (don't ask me why, it just didn't have that.. spark) but this month looks absolutely awesome. Back to doing revision until it comes out, then!

[Tsunamo]

only 40 more minutes or is it 1 hour and 40 minutes im confused

[Holyxion]

Man, there should be a listing of when it comes out in each different time zone. That way wouldn't wake up so early just to have to wait some more. But I shouldn't complain, I got it better than most people, what with the online school allowing me to check back every other second.

[Tsunamo]

o noes i think i have to go to bed now :(

btw, is it just me or did the site just go down? so, someone might be uploading episode 5 by now...cool. gotta get home.

[Samman28]

Our wait is almost done!

[Gibbeynator]

Saw the new toon... I guess I would have preferred that they re-recorded their old songs, instead of lifting them right from the toons they were from.

[Samman28]

A few minutes left!!! :d :d :d :d :d :d

[Tyrannus Maximus]

[Samman28]

[LittleBuddy]

Installing! Good thing it got out early and I'll be able to spend some more time with it than I had planned :D!

EDIT: OMG at the fan service pun. Way to start!

[Compy 386]

Awwww! It's not on Wiiware yet!:(:(:(

[Emily]

Crashes when I start the game up.
No idea why.

Post about this in the support forum with more details about the crash, please.

[Gibbeynator]

Umm... I think I'm missing the Dangeresque Too glasses in the Snap Shak. I even went back and confirmed that I got them.

Edit: And... all of the Dangeresque 3 costume items, except for the Dangeresque Glasses

[Holyxion]

Sweet! The secret shirt (that you get by jumping off the Snap Shak) makes your top half invisible!

[deadlinejon]

edit: wow that sets up fast. im playing now.

Missingout...on all fun.... :(

[SS the Free!]

It only offers me the season pass not the own episode.Why?

[Holyxion]

Wow, this game is tough. I wonder when the walkthrough comes out?

[Yellowtail]

Hell yes, very hard one here.

[Compy 386]

Is anyone else having problems with downloading the Wiiware version?

[Emily]

We downloaded the WiiWare version this morning without problems, but that's not proof of anything. :P

Also the walkthrough will be up later today!

[Holyxion]

Yeah, it needs to be up soon, now everyone's going crazy and posting tons of different threads on the hints board.

[Ray-The-Sun]

I'm depressed. I'm not going to be able to play the damn game because of my *THIS IS A FAMILY FORUM, SELF CENSORSHIP*-ing internet provider bandwidth limiting me :(

[Will]

Or, and you are gonna call me crazy on this one, you guys could take some time and try to work through the puzzles. That's half the fun!

[Holyxion]

Man, that has got to be the greatest end sequence ever. You guys really out did yourselves!

[Gibbeynator]

Best... end sequence... EVER

I'm downloading from England. The trace seemed to go pretty quickly:

I'm trying again and averaging 50 KB/sec, so at least it won't take hours now. It's just odd when I can download something like Smodcast at 350 to 450 KB/sec.

This is the first time I've had a problem getting anything from telltale, so I'm assuming the servers might just be busy.

[tabacco]

Yeah, I'm sending a report to Limelight, our CDN host. I'll post back when I hear more.

[DarkStar Runner]

That...was...epic...although, I actually found this one to be easier. Took me a little less than 3 hours...

Season 2! Season 2!

[Holyxion]

Huh, I thought it was harder, but yes, I'd love a Season 2, I can't bear to think this is Strong Bad's last gaming expedition, no matter how awesome of a conclusion it is.

[poohead900]

Yeah, this one was the easiest. Besides one collectible, I'm at 100% (if anyone knows how to get the last commando, feel free to post over in the hints section)

About 2 hrs of game and 2 hrs of scavenger hunt and I'm about done with it. I don't know about a season 2 though, I'd like to see where the site goes for a while.

[metalkombat]

I downloaded the game on WiiWare, and so far, it's freakin' sweet.

If this really is the last SBCG4AP, I'll be pretty sad. For now, I'll be happy to have homestarrunner.com back up and running on a more normal schedule (for example, a real Decemberween toon?).

[YoshiAngemon]

It may have taken a few hours for the DSL to be properly installed, and for me to reinstall the Nintendo WFC USB Device, but it was worth it after a nap, and a playing of Bright Side on the Moon.

[Holyxion]

Look on the bright side, maybe we can finally get a Sbemail 201 now that SBCG4AP is over?

[simfreak11]

Aww, I was about to finish the game, when I took a screenshoot and now I'm stuck, can't move, can't save ect.. So I had to ctrl alt delete my way out and start from the last save point, which is halfway through ):

[GaryCXJk]

I had to start over from about 1/8th, just because I forgot to burninate one peasant.

Stupid flammable pixel-men.

Oh, and I hate the Trogdor game, for the fact that I currently don't have a mouse and must rely on my touch-pad.

[Wusodoolo]

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why Strong Bad thought that killing the Trogdor in Peasant's Quest would do anything about the Trogdor that escaped from the game TROGDOR!!!? Also, I'm surprised nobody has asked about Ye Flask.

[Will]

Also, I'm surprised nobody has asked about Ye Flask.

You can't get Ye Flask.

[Wusodoolo]

You can't get Ye Flask.

I know, I've played Thy dungeonman. I mean that I am surprised that nobody has asked how to get it, not knowing that the flask is ungettable.

[GaryCXJk]

As long as it's non-essential, it's not that important.

[MarkDarin]

I know, I've played Thy dungeonman. I mean that I am surprised that nobody has asked how to get it, not knowing that the flask is ungettable.

You probably WISH you could get that.

[Weeblerjake]

I loved the end credits. That PoopsmithStinkoman reference, from when you didn't even know who the guy was.. good times.

[antirikurox]

is there more than one season? because if there isn't it shouldn't be "the sbcg4ap season" it should be "the sbcg4ap series"

[Jake]

I loved the end credits. That PoopsmithStinkoman reference, from when you didn't even know who the guy was.. good times.

Haha, most of us knew who he was :)

[Weeblerjake]

I just remember something like this...

Stinkoman? You mean the Poopsmith? He'll be in the game.

[Bamboozle]

Wow, amazing episode guys! Seriously the best of the season.
And I love all the video game references, like when Homestar yells "Hey listen!", when Strongbad said "Now I wanna be the guy!", or propably the clearest one, where he hits his head on the tree for coins. Great stuff... :D

[YoshiAngemon]

I wonder if Homestar went to Club Technochocolate before the premiere of Dangeresque 3, and drank that Atom-Smasher Guarana Blast, mixed with the Glowstick, back in Strong Badia The Free, thinking it was a more powerful version of Mountain Dew. That's what might've given Homestar Radation. In other words, it's all Strong Bad's doing! HE Radioactified Homestar, and HE broke the Trogdor Machine! But, let's not point fat, doughy fingers, here.

[GaryCXJk]

Or, heavy metal detectors are radio-active by itself anyway? As, you know, some heavy metals are radio-active?

[16_BIT_MARIO1]

Maybe Homestar is just naturally radioactive.

[Emily]

Or, heavy metal detectors are radio-active by itself anyway?

Yes, I think that was the intent.

[YoshiAngemon]

I just remember something like this...

Stinkoman? You mean the Poopsmith? He'll be in the game.

You mean STICKLYMAN!

[Strog Bad zawesomeness]

*sniff* The clouds prevent me from downoading this one.:(
The weather report says tomorrow will be cold and clear tommorow, though. There's still hope!!!:D
Until then, it's more appreciated than ever before to use them spoiler tags. I REALLY don't want this one ruined!!! ;)

[MidtownCowboy]

Man, this is the BEST GAME I've EVER PLAYED!:D:D

[Compy 386]

Okay. NOW I've played it twice.
So lemme be the first to complain-
WHY THE CRAP HASN'T STRONG BAD MENTIONED THE CONCEPT ART'S USAGE IN HIS BLOG! And... what's preventing Strong Bad from getting ye flask?

[Compy 386]

Or, and you are gonna call me crazy on this one, you guys could take some time and try to work through the puzzles. That's half the fun!

I'm semi-proud to say I only needed help in the end battle to see Troggie's weak spots and the Pro Fruitboarder sabotage.

I bet that's nothing compared to yous guys!

Also, there was too much Trogdor and not enough Stinkoman! No fair... I think!

[LuigiHann]

WHY THE CRAP HASN'T STRONG BAD MENTIONED THE CONCEPT ART'S USAGE IN HIS BLOG!
That's a spoiler, so I'm glad he doesn't post about it.

[Rather Dashing]

It was stated in its first appearance that the Metal Detector was radioactive.

Also.

...

Rather Dashing TALKED.

I just wanted the Peasant's Quest portion to last the whole game...I wanted to run around and see every little piece of Peasantry re-done in partial 3D. And after I worked so hard to puzzle my way through into the game, too.

Still, despite its shortness....the Peasant's Quest level area was just...incredible. That whole portion of the game was the most satisfying video game experience I've had in a long time.

EDIT: Added in spoiler tags, because apparently people who don't want to be spoiled actually check a thread centered around feedback about all aspects of the game.

Yes, that was a smartass remark. It probably makes me a jerk.

Did you go back to Peasantry in Extended Play mode and run around as Rather Dashing?! That's my favorite part of Extended Play, this time. Well that and the Trogdor mini game.

Geez, man use da spoiler tags!

[vampiricrogue]

Meh, i find that my Wii is concord constantly every time i wanted to play any strongbad episode; so i bought the series twice. One for my Wii--give or take if im ever let on the thing, and then i just bought a set for my lappy. Least it makes it easier on my end somewhat.

As for the 8-bit game, I enjoyed it. In fact, I have to rate this one mmy favorite. I could easilly grant the game to my other friends and they'd probibly point out more gaming-stuff then i did.

Little spoiler though, my favorite part was when Homestar's window popped up and said "HEY! LISTEN!" Not sure if many people caught that joke, but I myself had a ball; considering that i have Navi from Zelda's Ocarina of Time set to my yahoo messenger sounds (for the last 6-7 years at that), it tends to stick to my funnybone. Second place had to be the brief moment of the unmoveable flask.

However, I do have a problem with the SBG4AP series... after the battle of the bands, there was a lack of teen girl squad... sadly that was part of the zing, and it got overlooked. Nothings perfect though. -shrugs-

But I supposed i spoiled enough of the series. I'll end it here.

[metalkombat]

After [almost] playing through the game a second time, I noticed a few great references I didn't the first time through.

"Lucky George and I are arcade legends in 5 different countries."
"Yeah, yeah, you're a regular pinball wizard."

On the kill screen of Gel-Arshie's Pro Fruit Boarder, "All work and no play makes Gel-Arshie a dull boy." is printed repeatedly in red.

[Compy 386]

EDIT: Added in spoiler tags, because apparently people who don't want to be spoiled actually check a thread centered around feedback about all aspects of the game.

That's the way some people are, and that's why they invented them tags.
Deal with it, Jack!;)

[DarkStar Runner]

I dunno if anyone's posted this yet, but...

"A whole quarter? I've always wanted a lucky quarter of my own. I hear they taste like butterscotch mini-burgers! I gotta get some paint from Bubs'! See ya in a while!"

-Homestar, from Dangeresque 3.

[Homestarrunner]

I am wondering, is there any way I can just buy, the last one and not the full package.

[SS the Free!]

What Are You Talk About Homestarrunner
He's talking about the fact that on the TellTale website you can't buy episodes of SBCG4AP seperately.

[Emily]

Hey all,

Episode 5 was released on European WiiWare today, so if you're in Europe and you've been waiting, time to fire up your Wii. :D

Happy new year!

[penguinaudrey]

8-bit is enough is so fun I beat it on first try!!!! Acually my..... seventh......try.

[Omnisweater]

I know a few people have mentioned this already, but it's really, really bugging me.

The way I think about it, you can have all kinds of poorly made sequences in a game, but as long as you get the ending right, the player is left happy, thinking about good the game was. Unfortunately you guys didn't get the ending right. I mean, it was just depressingly anti-climactic. There wasn't even any closure in extended play. At least have some new music at the end! Come on!

Don't get me wrong, I think you did a pretty good job on the game overall. Sequences such as the "You Can't Handle My Style" song in episode one were simply perfect. I even liked the awesome Trogdor-Battle-Climax of episode five, right before the end. But after all that gameplay and all that waiting, I sort of expected the ending to tie things up somehow, or thank me for playing, or something. I want to feel good about the game, I really do. Unfortunately, the ending just ruined the whole experience for me.

[Compy 386]

Well that was very... anti-climactic.

What'd you expect? Still, it is upsetting we haven't seen Strong Badia recently. I do hope no countries were harmed in the making of the game.

[GaryCXJk]

Yeah, I think the Chap-bros made the destruction of Strong Badia canonical.

[W&G156]

When and will there be a second series of Strong Bads Cool Game for Attractive People.

[lbyrd2]

check all the theads dedicacted to that question for the awnser
