I feel like this game's villian is going to be...wait for it... dun dun dun: Biscuitdoughhandsman! Think about it. What if the whole game is just a part of the Biscuitdoughhandsman conspiracy? It could happen.
The only villian I suspect that will be in the Strong Bad Cool Game For Attractive People
is the mole queen the KOT is forced to marry at the end of Ep. 1
. That's it. I don't know why, but any new character that is introduced in many Telltale Games are likely enough very evil people who should not be trusted.
Kinda expecting me to be totally off-the-wall here, but at least I got something other than baseless spec.
I got the wii version of strongbad yesterday. I was using the Lappy to type a message to some of my friends, and you had to point and click the letters on the virtual keyboard you gave us.....
Here's the problem
THE WII SUPPORTS USB KEYBOARD FUNCTIONALITY!
I can go and do Wii messages with my USB keyboard (with the USB ports in the back) but i can't use my USB keyboard functionality with the lappy? cmon man takes hardwork to use the wii remote with an on screen keyboard.
if you can make an update for the lappy to use USB keyboard functionality that would be excellent. if you can't oh well, but please make sure you have it in for the next episode.
If you don't have it in there because you think it brings authenticity to the lappy, ewll than that just seems a bit odd. strongbad don't hunt and peck man, HE ACTUALLY TYPES likes he's typing on a keyboard, not hunt and peck.
basically go to the stick and the cheat will be there.
homestar will be there to propose a kick the cheat long distance contest, you must face homestar in kicking the cheat farther than him starting from the stick.
once you start, there will be a windsock flag bub's stand. and on the right side of the screen there will be a power meter and direction meter.
you basically getting a running start to the cheat (which he's next to the stick) and football kick the cheat as hard as you can and there will be a distance meter along with some distance markers (standing next to free county USA landmarks, like the cool car, photo booth, strongbadia, marzipan's house, strong bad's house etc.)
when the cheat is in the air he should be twirling and screaming.
there should be some type of super kick where it makes a noise when you kick the cheat and he turns all sparkly or on fire! of course this should happen if you do it correctly.

I thought KOT was the season villan. I mean it's kinda obvious, from making Strong Bad do crap he dosen't want to do(as in sneak through the KOT's castle), and then slapping e-mail taxes on Strong Bad. But the Mole Queen may be involved as well.

But think about it, even the KOT has been defeated by Biscuitdoughhandsman before. There might be a greater evil going on here.
I say a kick the cheat distance contest would be hysterical. Maybe not against homestar, but as a "personal record" thing. I mean heck, kicking the cheat in the dryer never gets old. Never.
And the villian? I say it should be the fun machine. Or the Lappy.
Actually, I think they'll probably pull something other than the villain twist on us in the H*R series. Something more H*R-appropriate, and less predictable.
It's hard to say what Homestar should be, in terms of a long story. Are we just going to get a bunch of self-contained stories for the season, or will we get a big surprise at the end that ties everything together?
It's going to be interesting to see how Telltale deals with making a narrative for something that has never been expressed in anything but 5 minute shorts.
episode 103: Echo-Friendly USA: Marzipan has no-handedly managed to score $1,000,000, and is using it for one of the biggest wastes of a million dollars yet: building HUGE flower producing factory, and she's also brainwashed Strong Sad, Homsar, and even Strong Mad into "spreading the word of Global Warming"!!!!!!! which wouldn't be so bad if her 24 hour commercial would stop playing!!!!!!!
episode 104: Homestar's super adventure game for grandma's and Ducks: It's Homestar's time to shine when he forgets Marzipan's Birthday. now he has to find her a present, get Bubs back on track when he's closed down by the health department, and win the quadri-annual blindfold boxing tournament, all in one afternoon. also at the end, Strong Bad returns from his "vacation" to find that the Lappy's been stolen!!!!!!
episode 105: a Lappy in time: It's been a month since the Lappy was stolen, and with everyone else already questioned and shooken upside down, Strong Bad thinks up one conclusion, Homsar took the Lappy!!!! but when he, The Cheat, and Homestar go to question Homsar, they find out that he not only stole Strong Bad's pride and joy, but he's GONE BACK IN TIME!!!! Is Homsar really an insane criminal mastermind? WHEN is the Lappy? and what's with the various biscuit dough chunks they keep finding?
The puzzle in the King of Town's castle is a GREAT puzzle, and I really enjoyed figuring it out. But to figure it out, you're probably going to fail at least 3-4 times. In my case, I took about 15 times before I had the whole routine figured out.
If you're going to fail a mission a lot, and it's going to end in an animation like that, it would be nice to have more variation in the "You failed" animations and dialogue. I saw that there were some variations (heehee, drain bamage), but 3-4 more lines of dialogue or a couple alternate animations would go a long way to making puzzles like that feel less tedious.

What if it went, in the end, through a portal to the REAL WORLD, so they had to get it back in court?Strong Wright: Awesome Attorney.(For some reason, I've always wanted a Homestar Runner game that was similar to Pheonix Wright.)
What I've began to wonder, is the hint forum's description."Stuck in the game? Need a hint? Check here for locations of all hidden maps, monsters, and keys! Spoilers are very likely."?There were no monsters, maps or keys.Why is this the description?Ia it possibly revealing what's coming in future episodes?
"Monsters and keys" is probably just a throwback to the kinds of games that things like Secret Collect are based on. It's just a joke related to old video games, the kind of joke that H*R make through Videlectrix all the time.
I bet a good villian for the game would be the Blue Polo Shirt.It's glitched up the polygons so many times, it will distort the game so the shirt can become an all powerful Polo Bad.A mirror of the original, but with the polo shirt.And you have to stop it, before it distorts the rest of the programming too, and ultimately erases Strong Bad into the bargain bin.
I thought KOT was the season villan. I mean it's kinda obvious, from making Strong Bad do crap he dosen't want to do(as in sneak through the KOT's castle), and then slapping e-mail taxes on Strong Bad.
But, judging from how awesome Strong Bad is, the KOT will likely become the OT at the end of Ep. 2. Then who would be the villian after him? That why I suggest the Mole Queen.
i think that there isn't going to be one overarching villain. i remember reading somewhere that each episode was going to be its own story and there wasn't going to be a central plot to the season.

Wasn't Sam and Max Season 2 something like that? There were only villians for each episode... 201: Shambling Corporate Presence, 202: Mr. Spatula, 203: Watch me spoil more game for people.... (aka Jurgen)

All controlled and manipulated by the Soda Poppers, the season villains.
If there is no huge plot over the course of the season, I'll actually be happier with that. Throwbacks are fine, but just no huge plot, because H*R just isn't like that. Inconsistencies are like it's bread and butter.
Also, Gameboy in a blender TIIIIIIME MACHIIIIIINE. Worth a million dollars in dog years.
DNA Evidence was hardly a plot, and more like a running inside joke. That was one of the few instances in which they explained something, and it never really affected anything anyway.
As for cliffhangers, this was a small 2-parter thing that, again, gave explanations and conclusions to things. About the Tandy and Compy, I mean.
I have totally deniable proof that there may be a second season. On the WiiWare version, when you click the icon, the first thing Strong bad types is cg4ap101.wad 101. That means season one, episode 1. Season 1.
That numbering just leaves open a possibility of a second season. I don't think anyone doubted that Telltale considers the possibility of a second season. But if the first season isn't profitable enough to make the production cost worthwhile, they'll drop it. It wouldn't be the first time they dropped a franchise because it wasn't popular at the time, after all. =p
Also, idea:
Pay attention to your opening cinematic.
-Animation clipping with the Potato Chip bag
-Strong Bad says "Confused" as "Confussed", even though there's no spelling error there.
-"Frency like yourself is any position", rather than "in any position"
-Snot in "I'm pretty sure I don't want to beat the snot out of Homesar" should probably have quotation marks or something else to show he says the word differently. Otherwise, it just looks like he doesn't want to beat Homestar up.
-Somewhat the same with "obviously"
-"into next-week" should probably be "into-next-week".

The e-mailer's bad grammar is part of the humor. His humor is in making FUN of their bad grammar. =p
Also, I don't think it's grammatical to say "bad grammar". I think there's just "grammatical" and "ungrammatical".
The more you know!
Oh! On the creative side of things, rather than the technical:
I do hope we get more musical openers. And then a completely musical adventure as the season finale. A musical...about video games! And conspiracies! And...muffins.

No, it has to be about muffins, in the end. That way, it can black out, and then show Strong Bad on his couch. "Pl...Planet...Planet Alert...", Strong Bad would say, before waking up. He'd then say "I was dreaming about...muffins" after awakening. At this point, we'd get a reprise of "My Style", and the realization that it was all just a dream. With maybe a "OR WAS IT?" moment tossed in the end to set up a second season.

Why Coach Z? Because his evil laugh would be hilarious. And because I could see him flipping out after being made fun of again for his accent.
Z: Hiya, The Chort!
SB: Haaaahahahahahaha, "Chort"??
Z: YOU DIE NOW, STARNG-A BAD!

there should be some type of super kick where it makes a noise when you kick the cheat and he turns all sparkly or on fire! of course this should happen if you do it correctly.
hows this sound?
Like animal abuse
I mean, Homestar suggesting to kick The Cheat? The Cheat just sitting around to allow himself to be kicked....twice?
It just really seems to go against the humor of the series.
I thought KOT was the season villan. I mean it's kinda obvious, from making Strong Bad do crap he dosen't want to do(as in sneak through the KOT's castle), and then slapping e-mail taxes on Strong Bad. But the Mole Queen may be involved as well.
