Homestar Runner, the birthplace of the hit Web cartoon Strong Bad Email, is about to get his first crack at gaming with Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. Set for release as a WiiWare exclusive, SBCGFAP hopes to bring the series' wacky, pop culture-mocking humor to the world of Wii.
"Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is a hilarious episodic adventure that will allow the player to take control of Strong Bad as he attempts to achieve his often convoluted schemes to achieve total awesomeness, usually at the expense of others!" said Lead Designer Mark Darin. "It's cool because Strong Bad has deemed it so. And when a short, pudgy, wrestling-mask-wearing, boxing-glove-wearing, email-writing, megalomaniac declares that something is cool, you better listen!
"To ensure the attractiveness of players, the Wii Remote will automatically configure itself to read the bio-non-ugly aura of the player as they attempt to purchase the games through WiiWare. If the player passes Strong Bad's digital attractiveness filter (which was programmed using several bits and bytes of data, he'd like you to know) then the purchase will go through and you'll know you are an attractive person!"
In 2004, Kevin Bruner and Dan Connors founded Telltale, Inc. with a new perspective on gaming. With years of experience working on grand scale projects akin to "blockbuster movies," Bruner and Connors created Telltale to establish a more nimble, faster-paced, digitally-distributed episodic game model comparable to television production. Five years later-with over one million episodes sold-Telltale is celebrating with an eye toward an even brighter future.
Having released over twenty games since Spring 2005 for PC, Xbox 360, and Wii, Telltale's most recent project, Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures, is releasing monthly on PC and coming soon to XboxLIVE! Arcade. A new series in development will be announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), next month.
