This is a sub-page of Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People.

Cheat b/w Pom Pom Talk

In the english.langdb file are internal directions for The Cheat's lines, used by Matt Chapman to give the little guy the right intonations. As a bonus, this episode also includes dialogue for Pom Pom. Find out what the fat yellow guy and Pom Pom are really saying!

which is cool, 'cause it gives me a chance to check out these totally crush groovers!]

Homestar screws up his audition Burble. [Amateurs...]

Early sbemail Drafts

Hidden in the game's subtitles are early sbemail drafts, possibly written before The Brothers Chaps punched them up.

They're supposed to be subtitles for Strong Bad's spoken dialogue, but since the text appears on the Lappy anyway, they're unneeded and unused. Consequently, they were never updated from their original drafts.

All early e-mail text starts in english.langdb at 0x41D90.

Early Final
E-mail #1
Yo, S to the B,
I'm trying to come up with a good name for my band, but it
seems like all the good names are taken up. Any ideas?

Desperate,
No Name Brand Band ["Desperate Anomalous Band"]

Yo, S to the B,

No-Name Brand Band
E-mail #1 Response
I can see why you need help... "Desperate Anomalous Band"
is almost as lame as "Kajagoogoo" or "Travelling Wilburys."
For my money (which you may NOT borrow), the best bands
combine one of the so-called "Heavy Dee" words and a
gothically-mispelled weapon of some sort. Bands like
"DeathBlaid," "DemonNyfe" and, of course, "DarkSporc."

Rock on, DABsters, Strong Bad.
That's true, Brandy, all the good ones ARE taken.

That's why you need to start thinking of futuristic band
names like "My Personal Jetpack" or "The Robot Rebellion."
Ooh, ooh! Or "Really, Really, REALLY, Tiny Cell Phone."
That should be enough to get you started, but
I'm gonna need my royalties in 2086 dollars, or Globnars,
as they will then be called.

Thanks. SB.

Dear Strong Bad,

Looking for validation,

Mark Darin
E-mail #2 Response
Dear Mr. Dariiiiiin, I'm sorry, but I don't validate here.
Check with Bubs. But I can tell you exactly when rock
rocked the hardest - Whe you were 18 to 24 years olds.

If you're not 18 yet, youre' in luck, 'cause you've got a
lot of sweet rockin' to look forward to. But if you're
over 24, man, it sucks to be you, 'cause rock's just gonna
get worse and worse until one day you'll realize you're
listening to a golden oldies station and moaning about all
that "consarned noise" kids listen to.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some Men Without Hats to
put on the spinner.

Dancing Safely, Strong Bad
Sorry, Mark. I don't validate. Maybe check with Bubs. But
I can tell you exactly when rock rocked the hardest. When
you're 18 to 24 years old.

But if you're over 24 man, sucks to be you. Cause music
rocks less and less with each passing year, until the
next thing you know you're listening to the oldies
station and playing air guitar at a stop light next to a
car full of teenagers that spit and laugh at you. They
call that noise music!

Curmudgeoninglyly, Strongbad.

Dear Strong,
You've gotta help me! One of my fellow coworkers won't

E-mail #3 Response
Dear Pleweez, I can see how upsetting it would be to have
a fellow cow worker staring at you, especially when all
those doggies need ropin'!

When yours truly is stared at by his adoring masses I
usually try to direct their attention to useful
endevaors by dramatically pointing at nearby objects, like
pot roasts I'd like them to make, or home elctronics I'd
like them to purchase for me.

You should try it with cows you'd like punched, or barn
doors you'd like closed, or whatever it is you and your
cow workers do.

Yippee-ki-yi-ay, Strong Bad.
Yeah. How are you Cow Workers supposed to get them
do-ggies rollin' if somebody's staring at you?

When people stare at me, I just diver their attention to
something I want them to do, say or buy for me. Or in your
case, cows you'd like punched, barns you'd like raised, or
trails you would like to see happy.

Yippie kiyiyay, Strongbad.

What's the worst thing you can do in a rock 'n' roll song?

Dear Mr. B,

Sincerely,

E-mail #4 Response
Well, Mike 1, Mike 2, and assorted other Mikes, that's a
dang good question.

Frankly I think about the worst thing you can do in a rock
'n' roll song is sing ABOUT rock 'n' roll!

I mean, have you ever noticed that almost all the songs
that talk the coolness of rock 'n' roll are kinda the least
cool things ever?

Aw crap, now I've got "Built This City" in my head.

Excuse me, I need to find a hammer.

Rock on, Strong Bad.
Well assorted Mikes. You've already committed the worst
offense just in your email.

You referred to "Rock n' Roll." You sound like a dad man!
Oh how-de-hey boys, did you attend a Rock and Roll
concerto last night featuring the latest in Rock and Roll
bands? What's next? You gonna ask me what new video game
tapes I have for my Intenduh system?

You're a real hip dude, Mike. Nice work.

Unused Lines

All subtitles are ripped directly from the game's english.langdb script file. Any errors or inconsistencies are intentionally preserved.

Some lines in the game script were never recorded. In lieu of an ID, those lines will have their offsets listed instead.

Test Conversation

This conversation, like the one in Homestar Ruiner, tests the dialogue system. This is at the butt-end of english.langdb.

I can't WAIT until Limozeen comes to town! Intended to play when using the Limozeen flyer after winning the contest,
but that item disappears after winning the contest, so nope.

I should known this contest would be a rip-off. I bet Limozeen

Another Limozeen flyer line, this one for when the concert is underway.

Burnt peasants smolder A haiku for an unimplemented item, the "Zen Thing"/"Zen Trogdor.
The subtitles for the latter two lines don't match up with the audio.

Dialogue for a cut radio item. It was functionally replaced by the drive-thru whale.

This dialogue would play before fixing the radio with the hanger antenna.

Hmm...Nothin' but static.
78845952
Still nothin'. Guess it needs an antenna, or maybe a swift kick in the vacuum tubes or somethin. Additional dialogue when trying to use the broken radio.

Now that's some grade-A electrical imagineering! After fixing the radio, Strong Bad would congratulate himself, as he is wont to do.
0x15226 After it was banned for its barely recognizable depictions of multi-tentacled groupies

Unrecorded dialogue for the intro giving more importance to the Fun Machine's repairs.

Unrecorded dialogue that's part of the PomStar (pre-sabotage) Limozeen dialogue.

All Stages

The members of Limozeen had a lot of dialogue cut out from the concert sequence. All of these lines are related to the "Concert" conversation option, which was meant to give different dialogue depending on how many bands were sabotaged. Instead, only one conversation is used regardless of the other bands' current standings.

No Bands Sabotaged (First Time)
0x28B85 Strong Bad: So, in your professional opinion as the totally unbiased judges of the Battle Royale of the Bands (a Might strong Bad production),
which band's in the lead right now?

0x29273 Strong Bad: Yeah, yeah, you're a bunch of hedonistic rock gods, I get it! What about the Bands?
0x292FF Gary Palaroncini: Let's check the big board...
0x29356 Perry Palaroncini: Whoah, dude, we've had a shakeup!

Two Bands Sabotaged (First Time)
0x2962D Strong Bad: Has the status of the Battle Royale been changed lately?
0x2969D Larry Palaroncini: Huh? Oh, sorry, I was busy back here at Limozeen Central with my accountant, Dave. Say hi, Dave.
0x2973B David: [boringly] Defered Capital Gains Distributions to the Maximum, Larry!
0x297B3 Larry Palaroncini: Awesome, Dave! Let's see what's happenin' over at the Sqeedily-Dee-O-Meter......
0x29840 Perry Palaroncini: In-freakin-believable, man!
0x29897 Larry Palaroncini: Looks like there's only one band left with any serious rock sauce! If they succumb to the same wave of lameness as everyone
else, D.O.I. might actually have a shot at winning this thing.
0x2998E Larry Palaroncini: Yeah, but what happens if they start succumbing to the same wave of lameness that's swept the rest of the show!?
Could D.O.I. win this thing after all?
0x29A62 Larry Palaroncini: Nahhhh.
0x29AA5 Perry Palaroncini: Nahhhh.
0x29AE8 Gary Palaroncini: That'd be stupid.
0x29B34 Strong Bad: [to himself] That's right! Two down, one to go!
Two Bands Sabotaged (Subsequent)
0x29B9B Strong Bad: Any last-second updates on the Battle Royale?
0x29C00 Larry Palaroncini: Nope, still one band standing firm against a plague of suckitude.
0x29C7D Larry Palaroncini: I hope theycan hang on. I'd hate to give it to those twerps in D.O.I.
0x29CFF Perry Palaroncini: Yeah, that'd make me sad. And angry. But mostly sad.
Concert Status, Final Draft (First time / Alternate version)
0x3F87E Strong Bad: In your cardboard opinion, who's winning right now?
0x3F8F4 Larry Palaroncini: Don't ask me, man, the Squeadily-Dee-O-Meter knows all and shreds all!
0x3F983 Larry Palaroncini: I'd look at it myself, but our camera doesn't turn that far.

Taranchula Game

An entire sub-game was cut from the original game plan. This would be a game that Bubs would loan to Strong Bad while the Fun Machine was under repair. It didn't get past the writing stage; None of the dialogue was recorded, there are no graphics or textures in the game's data archive, and the lines aren't linked up to any script in the game.

The developers probably ran out of time, energy, or inspiration to create two different mini-games for one episode.

Title Screen
"Taranchula's Rockin' Rampage?" When did those lovable Scandanvian Death Metal Imps find the time to make a video game?
All right, foes of metal, prepare for a feast of Liquid Crystal Destruction!
For a loaner game, Taranchula's Rockin Rampage ranks remarkably low on my personal suck-o-meter.
Death by Wolverine
Gah! Stupid anti-metal wolverines!
Wolverines! [pronounced slowly, like he's shaking his fist at a Perducci]
Death by Magnifying Glass Guy
I can't believe I got nabbed by a guy with a magnifying glass for a body!
Gack!
No way!
Death by Mister Meister
That Mister Meister is one tough meester
Eek!
Curse you, Mister Meister... [mumbles]whatever the heck you are...
Death by Protesters
I HATE busybody protestors!
Stop hitting me with that placard!
Grrrr....
Game Over
Cripes, I lost.
You won this round, evil uncool forces of musical oppression, but when next we meet the Liquid Crystal Day will belong to Strong Bad, er, Taranchula
Argh. Rest easy, Taranchula, Strong Bad will avenge your deaths... someday. When I'm bored.
Man, that game is HARD!
Defeating Enemies
Eat pungent death metal, wolverines!
Hey hey, ho ho, whiny protestors have got to go!
You will submit to the decoupage!
[making musical weapon sounds] Pew! Pew! Pew!
General Comments
Man, those groupies are smokin'... in a liquid crystal way.
These cheap little speakers really bring the music of Tarnachula to life!
It's amazing how accurately this game simulates the real-life dangers of an actual Taranchula concert!
I wonder which one of those guitars is supposed to be Dave Olafstenston, and which is supposed to be Dave Bjornborg?
[making heavy metal noises] bwou bwou bowu!
Beating a Stage
Hah! Taranchula rules!
Ha! [Singing] Burn! Burn! Burn!
All right! I rock!
Whoa mama! Strong Bad in the house!
If this keeps up, I'll have to get my thumbs bronzed!
[screamy voice] Yayyy, Strong Bad, you rock!
Drum Break
Drum solo!
Time for a drum break!
Off to you, McDoo!
Nothing clears a crowd like a drum solo...

obj_cardboardhomestar Glasses not included This was used in the "bad photo" conversation between Strong Bad and Marzipan. That purple thing he's holding is her purse.
ui_icon_boombox103 Hello. I am a boombox An unused item or dialogue option for a boombox. Possibly related to the cut stereo item, which uses the default balloon icon instead.
This is the same boombox icon used in Episode 1, Homestar Ruiner, but with a different filename.
