OT: Shameless Wii Ware Plug

[DChaps]

Sorry for two Homestarrunner plugs in one week, but this one is pretty cool now that it can formally be discussed. My brothers finally "sold out", "jumped the shark", or what have you, and have been working with telltalegames on a 5 episode Strongbad game for the wii and PC.

Check out the e-mail, the trailer, the safety video, and the FAQ, among other things.

From Strong Bad's Development Blog:

Alright listen up, gamertypes! This is the place where I'm gonna be complaining about how these Telltales won't use any of my ideas. Mustard-gun peripheral for the Wii-mote? NIXED! That shaky blue/red, Rad Racer-style 3D that makes your headaches puke up smaller headaches? KAIBOSHED! The "flame cubicle" I wanted to install in the Telltale offices? SBLOUNSKCHED!!

Oh, and don't get me started on all my proposed titles they rejected. They scoffed at the genre-bender "Strong Bad: Sudoku Puzzmaster" and didn't have the guts to name the game "Strong Bad's 9.5 rating in Nintendo Power or ELSE Challenge '08." Hopefully the "mayonnaise cubicle" I installed while the Telltales were at lunch will get them to start properly respecting my style.

Ok, I promise no more HSR plugs. I'm just a really proud older brother with no talent to speak of. They will be interviewed on IGN tomorrow.

That's fantastic, Don!

Hell, they didn't sell out. They busted their asses to build an Internet phenomenon and are getting just desserts for their efforts.

Take care,
PK

wii rocks.

wii rocks.

Except for the limited memory...and the fact that the WiiWare titles take up so damn much of it.

I can probably fit the first episode, but will have to pass on the subsequent ones in all likelihood.
