STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3167333

Not only has Telltale introduced Sam and Max to the Wii, but what about the episodic series for WiiWare?

Turns out to be our favorite mexican wrestler masked man and dumbo with a spinner hat. I'm tickled pink about this news, and you should too.

I send my congratulations to the Brothers Chaps, so far its the only WiiWare game that I'm excited about.

The latter commercial is great "The super SFX chip, that red thing you stuck in the Nintendo 64..."

So sold on this.

I remember years ago I saw on Tech TV an interview with the Brothers Chaps and the Videlectrics guys about the many Homestar games on the site. Then they said that their dream was to make an epic Homestar game for the Atari 2600 featuring all the characters. At the very end, the interviewer sees an NES controller on the ground with a piece of paper that said "The future?".

Who knew that Nintendo was indeed the future to Homestar Runner games?

I too am excited for the game.

I also realized, the "attractive people" tagline could be a jab at the many Wii ads that feature, well, attractive people playing the Wii.

Watching the safety video is recommended.

I was into StrongBad before it was cool. Then uncool. Then cool again in an ironic way.

The safety video is the best part.

I officially can't wait for this game.  Now we just need Penny Arcade Adventures to come to Wii and all our episodic dreams can come true!

I was just about to say that ALL webcomics suck if we are going to discuss which one is truly the best.

Sorry, Sinfest ate your cake.

But considering the topic we're in, this link is mandatory.

I can't wait for the Mode 8 effects. I wonder if it'll include support for Blast Processing?

This is so cool.
Carmine Red, Associate Editor

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Yep.  I am highly satisfied with this news.  Surpringsly satisfied, even.
