Strong Bad Creators Interviewed

Posted by timothy on from the oh-one-thirty-oh-three dept.

Bill Hughes writes "The folks over at ResExcellence have posted an interview with the Brothers Chapman, the two guys who create and run the Homestar Runner/Strong Bad web site." If you have not seen homestarrunner, prepare to be baffled and amused. This site has mostly justified Flash to me :)

    ...will you use the power of Mod points for good, or for awesome?

    I got hooked on Strongbad typing e-mails on his Compy 386 by first getting hooked on www.fark.com by seeing someone reference it in a post here on Slashdot.

  2. Strongbad's e-mail is the only reason I go there by NeMon'ess · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The e-mail is funny. Most of the other flash there simply isn't. The flash is justified, because as a graphical platform it works great. The amount of effects that can be created with vectors in a small file size are excellent. Having a Microsoft OS installed, I see no problem with installing flash because it works like it should and isn't intrusive, unlike Real One Player.

    I'd like to echo Chester's above comments. The last thing the Homestar Crew needed was a slashdotting. Anybody up for starting a tip jar to get them some new servers when their brand-new ones start smoking?

  4. No way! by Richard+Mills · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Undoubtedly, Strong Bad's email is the best part of the site, but how can you not like "A Jumping Jack Contest" or "The Luau"? Some of the 'toons are pretty funny, and they add a lot to the appreciation of Strong Bad. Some of the menus are fantastic. Not to mention some of the incredibly stupid "music videos". And check out some of the old "Marzipan's answering machine" episodes under "games". And while you're there, try out the "Dancin' Bubs" game.

    There's pleny of good stuff there. You just have to dig around for it, and there's a LOT of content to dig through.

    Hey dere, you took the site down, great jerob! - Coach Z

    Oddly engough I found out about this site as a result of of the Sircam virus. I got an "e-mail" from strongbad to which I replied (before knowing that it sends e-mails from your address book) to get a Virus scanner, to which Strong Bad's auto reply, replied back in the Strong Bad fashion to which I told him to go F himself. I then got a reply from the creator asking for more information about the virus. I now check the site every week. They are the only flash site that has something new every so often. Unlike oh...Joecartoon?
