Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is another Telltale adventure game released for the PC (and WiiWare! and later PSN!) in 2008. Like most of Telltale's games, it's episodic with 5 individual episodes. SBCG4AP is based off of the popular internet Flash cartoon series called Homestar Runner. Specifically, it stars Strong Bad, the real star of the website and of its main feature, the Strong Bad Emails, which started in 2001 and ran for 205 short episodes before going on hiatus in October 2009. As stated, SBCG4AP is an adventure game of the point-and-click variety. It features tons of humorous dialog, more than any Homestar cartoon. This LP will run through all 5 episodes (and maybe even some bonus stuff involving games from the website?), and will be done in a subtitle format. This game speaks for itself, and it speaks for itself often; it doesn't need me or anybody else trying to be funny talking over it. It can be funny (or unfunny, for that matter) all by itself. Unfortunately, I will be being unfunny through subtitles, but I will try to keep it to a minimum, which means no "talking" through dialogue. The game itself does fall into some of the pitfalls of other adventure games, especially Telltale's. Some of the puzzles are weird and obtuse. Some parts that don't have conversations get boring. The engine is, to put it bluntly, a piece of crap that merely gives the illusion that it works great. (Fun fact: during one of my failed recordings of the tutorial I managed to accidentally force myself through the door in the beginning and got stuck in an endless loop of Strong Bad saying he won't leave his room until he investigates, forcing me to force quit the game.) But the dialog and quirky humor manages to make up for most of these things. Also to be perfectly honest the first episode is probably the worst of the bunch. Worst being relative here, of course. Hang in until Episode 2 or 3, that's where it starts getting good. Regarding Audio Quality: The audio quality of the voice clips in Episode 1 is terrible and has nothing to do with my recording. They improve dramatically from Episode 2 onward. Spoiler Policy: Uhh...I don't really care? Don't be a dick, use your best judgement, blah blah blah. Wait, didn't y-I DIDN'T MEAN FOR IT TO FALL INTO THE ARCHIVES, OKAY First up is Homestar Ruiner! Strong Bad decides to finally beat the snot out of Homestar Runner once and for all, but then he gets a different idea on how to ruin Homestar's life. Unfortunately for Strong Bad, the best laid plans of mice and Mexican wrestler look-alikes often go awry...

Does anyone now what happened with HR? They released a couple of new cartoons, but that was ages ago.
