Strong Bad Mod For Half-Life In Development

Posted by simoniker on from the the-cheat-gets-a-trophy dept.

Thanks to EvilAvatar for pointing out these preview renders (via PlanetHalfLife) of a Strong Bad mod for Half-Life, as based on the wildly popular Web cartoon (do I hear Cartoon Network calling?) Homestar Runner. The mod's homepage promises unique weapons and multiplayer modes, but doesn't guarantee gameplay interludes for Strong Bad Email Updates. C'est la vie?

    I can't justify reading the article at work, so I have no idea whether StrongMad will be a playable model in multiplayer. =P

    This is not fair, there's no way strongbad can play Halflife on his 386.

    If I can be coach Z I'll be happy.

    they include his techno song as an option to play in a loop while you run around shooting people.

    Now _that's_ entertainment.

    There is a TROGDOR flash game on the homestarrunner site. You eat villagers and burninate the village while avoiding the knights and archers.

    I want to run around making that bibble-ibble-ibble noise and to yell "You shanked mah jenga ship!" when I die.

    I know a few people who will buy Half Life so they can play this, if it turns out well.
