Web Comics Make The Small Screen
darkCanuck writes "A year and a half ago, three guys wrapped up a Flash-based story taking three years of work, spanning twenty-four chapters in twelve hours. This afternoon they began offering Broken Saints as a DVD set (four discs), the entire series at $39.99 US. It's been tweaked, to say the least, to 5.1 surround sound, updated art and effects for more than half of the production, subtitles in six languages and voice narration from such people as Cancer Man from the X-files (William B. Davis), among other notables. It's an impressive feat for any studio, in my opinion, but three canucks in their spare (and not so spare) time ... that's incredible. If you haven't seen it, check it out since the chapters are still available at the website." Just as pressing -- An anonymous reader writes "You can now buy all 100 Strong Bad Emails as a boxed set of 3 DVDs. If you live under a rock, Strong Bad is freakin' awesome. You can buy it here."
But for all of us non sub-rock dwellers, Strong Bad is just a stupid wast of time.

Maybe they can be used to replace the poor, departed, Compy 386. :'(
And if you don't get Strong Bad, then you don't. Who cares? Crapfully yours,
Flash-based stories are awesome, and by awesome I mean totally sweet.
Flash-based movies flip out and kill people all the time. Like this one time, I saw a Flash-based movie in a resturant. And some guy dropped a fork. The Flash-based movie uppercutted the guy in the head and didn't tink twice about it! Then he popped like 16 boners and wailed hard on his guitar.
I am Anonymous Coward, and I can't stop thinking about Flash-based movies.
There's a REASON I hate comics. Print COMICS , that is. They randomly feel the NEED to put random words IN bold and italics. Usually, these WORDS are not what you would emphasize if you WERE speaking, and they're not ALWAYS of any importance. I find IT distracting. DOES anyone else?
Right. Because if I have no idea what Strong Bad is, I've been living under a rock.
Correct.
Hmm, is that maybe why strongbad isn't appearing as funny? Is firefox's inbuild pop-up blocker interfering with the humour?

Dear Strong Bad,
How do you type with boxing gloves on your hands?
