TROGDAY: Burninating the Website

TelltaleGames

Our website is once again a wreck! We did not heed the warning, today is TROGDAY, a celebration of Trogdor the Burninator! Since it's his birthday, Trogdor is pretty unruly and we need you to put him in his place. Today only, we're giving away 8-Bit Is Enough, a FREE episode of Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People. Go get it and show ol' Troggie who's boss! Here's a sample of what he did to us, now think, what could happen to you?

We didn't fireproof the office. Our folly is your gain. We're having a Fire Sale for Sam and Max, Wallace and Gromit, even Strong Bad's Cool Game itself! Today only, these seasons can be yours for a mere $19.99, due to minimal aesthetic irregularities such as char marks and melted plastic, but still perfectly playable. Check out the season pages and see for yourself.

In light of the recent assault from The Burninator himself, folks in the office have been reconsidering their stance on Trogdor Fandom. We asked them to speak their minds...

What does Burnination mean to YOU?

Carl M has a thoughtful dissertation:

"A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that 'burninate' is just a fancier way of saying 'burn'. Nothing could be further from the truth. Burning is a trivial matter. You can burn things accidentally. If you leave your toast in the toaster too long, it will burn. But has it been burninated? NO. A toaster cannot burninate things.

Only Trogdor can burninate things."

Dave B enlightens us:

"There is nothing more savory than a fresh cooked Pheasant... I mean Peasant.

Also if you spell check 'burninate' the first suggestion you get is urinate... ironic."

Andrew L gives us nightmares:

"When I think of the word 'burninate', the first thing I think of is that one night in Paraguay when I was 17. Hoo boy... I really don't feel like talking about it. But the second thing I think of is definitely Strong Bad. For sure."

Brian S keeps it simple:

"[Burnination is...] To immolate violently and without just cause."

Chris S has some philosophy to share:

"What is the true spirit of Burnination and how can we embody this in our everyday lives?

I think everyone should 'burninate it forward.' Someone burninates you, you burninate it twice over..."

Brendan Q. Ferguson has this to add:

"Burnination is man's punishment for the decline of his V's. When you look at Trogdor's teeth, his eyebrows, his spinities... what do you see? I'll tell you what. V's. Not just V's, but consummate V's. If you do not take heed, if you allow your V's to become saggy or limp, then thou shalt burninate. Three cheers for Trogdor, the sauior of the U in modern ciuilization! Er, I mean, the savior of the V in modern civilizOOOOOWWWWWW! I'UE BEEN BURNINATED!"

Feel free to express your own feelings on Burnination while we attend to Brendan's dire injuries.

And of course, Happy Trogday!
