It is. I was playing it this morning.

Tandy 400 · 07/26/2008, 03:01 pm

Unless you were playing it at ComicCon, no it's not out. I'm pretty sure that article is made up. Mostly because Strong Badia isn't where everyone lives. They live in Free Country, USA. Strong Badia is just SB's backyard.

Oh dear. This means that there is a very, VERY real possibility that someone at Telltale thinks that the series takes place exclusively in a place called Strong Badia rather than Free Country USA. Which means that this problem could find its way into the actual games, causing continuity arguments that may never be resolved.

Message to all Telltale employees involved in SBCG4AP:
The beginning of this SBEmail is required viewing.

Because the episode is called Strangbadia the Free? I don't see where this makes any sense unless maybe....
You're jumping to conclusions.

BiggerJ · 07/26/2008, 07:22 pm

Well, maybe there's still hope. Homestar did refer to Free Country, USA in one of the Episode 1 videos.

xChri5x · 07/26/2008, 07:29 pm

Omg you're so right, maybe I can sleep peacefully tonight knowing this.

Rather Dashing · 07/26/2008, 07:46 pm

....someone is jumping to conclusions. The very fact that Strong Bad is running around making alliances with other just-as-made-up countries shows that there are places *other* than Strong Badia. I mean, I don't know how it could be spelled out more simply.

BadStrong · 07/26/2008, 08:00 pm

Free Country, USA is in the game, it's showed in the latest trailer...

**Jake** · 07/26/2008, 08:22 pm

The one thing the article may have fudged a little is that bit about Strong Badia being where everyone lives or whatever. While Strong Bad (and most everyone else in H*R) live in Free Country, we all know that in his heart Strong Bad considers his allegiance first and foremost to Strong Badia (the place where the tropical breezes blow), even if it's not actually a real country.

Rather Dashing · 07/26/2008, 08:26 pm

Well, it also fudged the difference between "it's" and "its", using both for the same meaning within the same sentence.

splash1 · 07/26/2008, 08:37 pm

so... is that the real Episode 2 plot line cause it sounds reaal cool

bigdondoo · 07/26/2008, 09:00 pm

This is great. We're going to know the main plot lines for the first season before episode 1 comes out...

BiggerJ · 07/26/2008, 10:34 pm

There's one more little detail I'd like to know: is the title spelled 'Strongbadia the Free' or 'Strong Badia the Free'?

And while I'm asking a Telltale staff member something, another question: do you think Nintendo is treating you badly in terms of delaying the release? If not, how long would Episode 1 have to be delayed for you to start thinking you're getting treated badly?

Business 101: Don't say bad things about your business partners in public, especially when that business partner has the ability to cut off one of your major means of distribution.

Furthermore, Telltale is not a unified being with a singular opinion on every issue. It's made up of several people, who may disagree when it comes to things that start with "Do you think _____?"

Damn. That means that if Telltale really is being treated poorly, they can't say or do a thing about it.

If this gets bad enough, I bet that if there's a Season 2, it'll initially be PC only, with a possible Wii disc release. If it gets any worse than it is now, I know that I wouldn't want to put myself through anything like that twice.
