I agree. I used to love HSR, but it seems like this is coming a bit too late

Finally, a game aimed squarely at my specific demographic... Attractive people who enjoy cool games about crazy internet cartoons.

Yeah, well if it gives us something to do on the wii, bring it on! I still enjoy Strongbad, though I don't keep up on it as much.

Ugh. Can we please stop with the punned run-on inane titles? What Borat did was funny at the time, but man are they are old now and no longer funny. I feel like I waste my time reading that crap.

"Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People"

"Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan "

"Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters"

"I am America and So Can You" Stephen Colbert


Even Penny Arcade is bordering on the frivolous side with a worthless title that somehow conveys the pretentiousness of wanting to try and sound important.
"On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness"

Why must people manifest themselves on stupid shit like this? Do you get all uppity every time a game or movie uses one of the HUNDREDS of cliche's? Like the totally epic overdone title? Or the one with the pointless subtitle? Its a joke and meant to be funny. Just get a chuckle out of it and move on. Theres really no need to dwell on this stuff...

I agree. We should stop using the name "Matt" as well.

It's just soooo 1997 Geocities!

I think the Strong Bad game is the odd man out of those titles. It's not unnecessarily long, it just describes what the game is. It's no longer as a title than, say, "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2" or "Puzzle Quest Challenge of the Warlords: Revenge of the Plague Lord".

The other ones, yeah, they're being unnecessarily weird or pretentious (or both). In the end, though, it'll all boil down to "the Strong Bad game". just like the others boil down to "Vegas 2" and "the Puzzle Quest expansion".

@Kewlrats; Oh-snap

@Matt: You should find something worth complaining about if you absolutely have to complain. It just seems a bit much to deserve a full on rant IMO. It's like complaining about how the sky's blue again, and damn it, blue is SO yesterday. And the day before.

I'm a big Homestar fan but I would just feel weird paying for their content. We'll see what the game is like before I make judgments though.

From the press release:

"...and the games are fully voice acted by Matt Chapman and the rest of the original cast. "

The rest of the original cast? You mean Missy? And sometimes Mike Chapman? That's about all there is.

No you don't. We all know you're a sour person who gets angry when he laughs. The fact you keep your kitty as a homeless box cat is proof. That is kitty's punishment for making you laugh.

I believe the proper response is "hell yes."

I can't imagine how anyone could dislike HsR.

Just joking... real-life Mario mustaches are actually attractive.

I was wondering if people were still into HSR. I had a good time checking out the e-mail archives this morning.
