Strong Bad’s first title Ruined as trailer launched
If you're highly awesome, you'll be interested to know that the first episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People now has a name and a gameplay trailer to accompany it. If you're less than cool, you can stop reading now.
The episode will be called Homestar Ruiner, which bears a rather striking similarity to the acclaimed Homestar Runner online cartoon on which the new series is based. In the first adventure to be released through Nintendo's WiiWare download service (and PC, for non-Wii owners), Strong Bad begins his day much like any other, "answering emails, dominating in video games, and setting out to pummel his enemies. Then Strong Bad's scheme to win the tri-annual Race to the End of the Race lands him with an unwanted guest: his dimwitted adversary, Homestar Runner. Now Strong Bad must find a way to get the disgraced athlete back on the Free Country, USA A-list (and out of his house)."
The gameplay trailer features a single exchange between Strong Bad, the obnoxious, boxing-costumed loudmouth, and the dimwitted, propeller-topped Homestar before the big race. The video demonstrates the game's icon-based dialogue system and of course the rather unique brand of humour that has made the cartoon series a cult favourite. The trailer can be viewed at the official SBCG4AP website.
