Strong Bad Episode 1 Hits the WiiWare Shop 113
Nintendo has added a new title to their WiiWare shop, Strong Bad Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner from developer Telltale Games. The new title features the infamous boxing-glove-adorned character in the first of five installments of Telltale's "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People." "The point-and-click adventure game stars Strong Bad, the lucha libre mask-wearing character from web cartoon series Homestar Runner. Players can create 'Teen Girl Squad' comics, play a retro-styled minigame titled Snake Boxer 5, and send pictures and messages to their friends through the Wii's message board system." In addition to the new title, two classic titles have also been added for virtual console, Break In, and Star Parodier.

Wow. A low comment count.
At first glance, I thought HSR had suffered from the ravages of time and a fickle public, but from the comments, it seems that there are some people who manged to avoid the mega-internet sensation which ripped through my town three years back.
A Strongbad point & click adventure from the Sam & Max guys?
Aside from the fact that content driven story adventures are today's Pong in the game world, it should be pretty impressive. I love their voice acting and comic timing, even if the HSR humor is cynical and mean-spirited.
I'd check it out if I didn't have to actually play it. Or own a Wii. I miss the days when I could kick back as my friends labored their way through silly games while I watched. I pretty much cannot stand the act of actually working through nearly any kind of video game myself, but for some reason, I really enjoy seeing my friends play them. --That way I don't have to muck around with annoying control pads or remember button combinations and I don't have to stress out over endless, repetitive hand-eye coordination challenges, whereas I DO get to see a story (of sorts) unfold before me and share in the camaraderie of cheering on friends as they confront challenges. It was generally far more fun than regular TV programming because I got to see people I cared about achieving their goals, (even if they were meaningless digital goals). --Then I grew up and no longer have time to blow on basement adventures and junk food.
Still, good for the Strongbad creators. They've worked long and hard and they have lots of talent. I hope this project does well for them!
