SBCG4AP EPISODE 1 REVEALED
Homestar crashes Strong Bad's pad in Homestar Ruiner
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People (SBCG4AP for short) will be showing up on WiiWare and PC soon, and we've got the scoop on the premiere episode, Homestar Ruiner.
It starts as a typical day for our animated hero, who gets busy checking his email, playing some Snake Boxer 5, and bugging his friends. But the tables turn when a scheme to win the tri-annual Race to the End of the Race sticks Strong Bad with an unwanted house guest: Homestar Runner, disgraced athlete and all-around downer. With a depressed Homestar mucking up the masked man's plans, Strong Bad must find a way to get his dimwitted adversary back on the Free Country, USA A-list and out of the House of Strong, once and for all.
Head to our Strong Bad page to check out a gameplay video from the episode (awkward, lispy conversations for the win!) and the latest screenshots. While you're there, make sure to check out the dev blog, which is updated regularly by Strong Bad himself (with a modicum of help from Mike and Matt Chapman).

BIG SUCCESS FOR SAM & MAX
Great reviews; 500,000 episodes and going strong
Last month's Season Two finale earned some pretty impressive reviews. In fact, we beat the record previously set by episode 204, and episode 205 (the season finale) is now the highest rated Sam & Max episode yet, with an average score of 86% on GameRankings.
We also recently revealed to Forbes that we have sold over 500,000 Sam & Max episodes to date. That's a lot! The series is on a short hiatus until we return for Season Three, which means that if you still have Sam & Max episodes to play, now's the time to get caught up!
» Play Sam & Max Season Two!

Greetings, future employees. During a recent unfortunate episode of under-employment, I discovered this sinfully easy recipe for the creation of so-called "deviled" eggs. With these, your next backyard cookout can be almost as popular as one of my own!
6 eggs
1 1/2 tsp mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 Tbsp sweet pickle relish
Salt & pepper to taste
Paprika
1. Condemn six large, innocent eggs to a seething cauldron of boiling water for 10 agonizing minutes. (I find that eggs from free range chickens work best, as the premature interruption of a carefree life adds a delightfully bittersweet tang to the final product.)
2. Place the eggs in a saucepan and subject them to cold water for one minute. This makes them easier to handle and also lets them know one last moment of relief before snatching it away in step 3.
3. Flay the eggs under warm running water.
4. Requisition a blade from the Ministry of Cutlery (form 2468A/32). Test its sharpness by stabbing a minion. Use the blade to slice the eggs lengthwise.
5. Using a spoon or talon, scoop the yolks into a bowl. Add salt, pepper, pickle relish, and salad dressing, then beat the mixture into submission.
6. Spoon or pipe the mixture into the soulless egg white halves.
7. Sprinkle with paprika to give them that appetizing blood-stained color. I recommend serving with pear and apple slices, but then I'm always encouraging people to eat more fruit.
