Giving The Cheat the fake sword without reading the contest form	Me-me-me mehr-me me-me merh me? Me-mher mher-me-mehr me mehr-me me-merh-me me.	[What am I supposed to do with that? It's got desperation and nerd sweat all over it.]

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.

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"] in Seattle	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 ones are taken. Any ideas? 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, In your opinion, when era of rock rocked the hardest? Looking for validation, Mark Darin	Dear Strong Bad, In your opinion, when era of rock rocked the hardest? 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 stop staring at me! Creeped out of her mind, P. Louise	Dear Strong, You've gotta help me! One of my coworkers won't stop staring at me! Creeped out of her mind, P. Louise
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.

Dear Mr. B, What's the worst thing you can do in a rock 'n' roll song? Sincerely, Mike S.	Dear Mr. B, What's the worst thing you can do in a rock 'n' roll song? Sincerely, Mike S.
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.

Dear Strong Bad, Where can I get peripheralsfor my creaky old Videlectrix Machine? I need to get my hands on one of those Feedback Helmets for my old Brain Bashers cartridge.

Quizzically, Janet O'Day	Dear Strong Blad, Where do you get your ideas? Uninspired in Utica, M. Moloney	Dear SB, My cat Becky is going to be in cat show next month, but she doesn't have much talent and coughs up enormous hairballs whenever confronted by strangers. What can I do to improve her chances? Thanks, Wendy Clark

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.

STRONGBAD	Hey there, butts. LOL!
STRONGSAD	wut
(Blank)	HARGABLARGABLARG!
STRONGBAD	You smell like cabbage.
STRONGBAD	i has teh cheez
STRONGBAD	Awesome!

Hey, the Cool Tapes! I love those guys! Well, really, only one of those guys. Gals. Marzipan, actually.	Oh, it's another picture of Marzipan... I'll just store it with all the others (sigh). Maybe someday, I'll get the nerve to ask her to autograph one of these things...
Early Line - 91481600	Final Line - 80260864

80449408		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.
80449920		I should known this contest would be a rip-off. I bet Limozeen won't even really USE my picture on their next album.	Another Limozeen flyer line, this one for when the concert is underway.
80475264		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. The rewritten second line is eight syllables, so it's not a "proper" haiku now.
80475392		Flaming houses in the night (Flaming cottages on fire)
80475520		Flaming cottages on fire (Trogdor Burninates)
80475648		Consummate V's, please	Fumfering aside, this does follow the traditional 5-7-5 syllable structure. That wasn't enough to save this from the ol' haiku junk pile, though.
80475776		Beefy arm glistens so bright
80475904		Um, uh, Majesty.
81997440		Homestar Ok, now? Evil, right? Ok.	This line is in the Episode 4 trailer, but "Evil, right?" is muted in the used version.
86415872		Hmm, Club Technocholate, where shall I draw you?	Both Club Technochocolate and The Track are unlocked at the same time. The Track's map dialogue is used, and the club is automatically placed on the map.

78812416		I think these bats have had enough bubbly excitement for one bat-lifetime.	Should play when using the bleached bat hutch on the washer, but it's not properly linked.
0x0C78B		It's the old Strong family stereo, comlete with something called a "fo-no-graf." Let's see what's on the radio...	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.
78845312		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.
78845056		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 in alien spandex, all of the cartridges were buried in a concrete bunker in the Antarctic, but I was able to score one before the MAN got his hands on it!	Unrecorded dialogue for the intro giving more importance to the Fun Machine's repairs.
78858240		Okay, let's just see what sort of lame loaner game Bubs has saddled me with while my Fun Machine gets repaired...	These lines are for a cut Taranchula mini-game. Read on for more information.
78858368		Time for so more cheesy low-rent loaner game action...
78868736		Putting random, unaddressed photos in the mail box is sure-fire way to cheese off our mail man... and you do NOT want to cheese off our mail man...whoever he may be.	This'd be used after trying to mail a picture with no knowledge of the album contest, but the only way to get the right picture is to read the contest flyer...
0x31506		[process: over radio][in DJ voice] [from radio cartoon] Hey hey, it's the Deathly Pallor, comin' atcha on numbitty 902, WA3D FM, The Sturge. Coming up next, we got commercials and traffic from some hot new artists so don't you touch that zabbadaBLOW!	More lines related to the unimplemented radio item. The item was cut before the dialogue could be properly ripped.
81088512		Man, Strong Sad's radio voice is so...unsettling.
80188640		Strong Sad Turn it off, turn it off!
0x316FE		[Get file from radio cartoon] Rise and shine, people! The fish was delish. [canned laughter] Wait for it, wait for it! [clowny sounds] And it made [boing!] quite a dish.	Another possible radio show with dialogue straight from the "radio" sbemail.
81088896		Argh. The only thing lower than "zany" morning DJ humor is "whacky" Internet humor.
81089024		Strong Sad U r teh suck!
81089152		Strong Mad LOLZ!
0x31904		[Get file from radio cartoon] Okay, I am out of here for today, bu-but, um, but first up is an, um, er...an...an hour of... chanting.	Yet another radio show. Remember radios? They were big back in the day.
81088896		Good to hear that the ol' college radio station is just as coma-inducing as ever.
0x31A4A		[Get file from radio cartoon] This week on The Fish Was Delish progrum, brought to you by Portly Washboy laundry paste,—	The radio traveled back in time and strangled itself with its own cord.
81089664		Whoah, some radio waves traveled through time or bounced through a wormhole or somethin'...
0x31B8D		[Get file from radio cartoon] —we join The Fish down at the wharfs as he closes in on the Quite a Dish gang's hideout. Stay tuned for partial excitement.
85484288		It's part of my art installation..."Smoke Detector with No Battery. Mixed Media. Ten thousand dollars."	The Smoke Detector can't be interacted with, which doesn't bode well for the Strongs.

80251392		How're are those Fun Machine repairs going?	The Fun Machine option is removed from the dialogue tree after Act I, so Bubs never gives any updates.
80251520		Bubs They're going great! Once that ZProm from Caracas arrives, we'll be ready to start tearing down your motherboard!
80251648		Any updates on my Fun Machine repairs?	If it was possible to ask Bubs about the Fun Machine during the concert, this conversation would play. He can't, though.
80251776		Bubs Don't rush me, man! Do you know how hard it is to repair a game console, promote a concert, AND maintain my boyish figure all at the same time?
80253184		What do I need to get my Battle of the Bands Concert started again?	A short and ultimately unnecessary recap on how to get past the first act of the game from Bubs.
80253312		Bubs Once you get some celebrity judges and find some idjit to run security, you'll have to beat the bands away with a stick!
80253440		Hey, that's my favorite way to beat them!
80267648		I tried to sign the Uncool Tapes, but their pasty white butts're already doin a benefit for some pasty white bats!	More unused hints from the Bubs, this time on how to recruit the Cool Tapes.
80267776		Bubs Maybe if they weren't so endangered they wouldn't need a benefit.
80267904		Yeah! And that would benefit me! Thanks Bubs!
80267648		Well, I tried to get Pom-Pom to sign up, but he won't do it until he's found a singer.	This isn't really a hint, but it's in the same spirit. This choice never comes up in the dialogue tree.
80267776		Bubs Then you better find him one! Pom Pom's a big draw with the white-haired lady crowd.
0x43E9E		Drive-Thru Whale [process: distorted speaker] This is why we can't have nice things!	Now this definitely isn't a hint. The Drive-Thru Whale's dialogue was never recorded, so what exactly a speaker bouncing off a gold tooth would sound like is left as an exercise to the reader. Try it at home!

78922880		Back you go, little Zen Rock.	The Zen Rock can't be placed back in the garden.
78946688		Hey, The Cheat! Whattaya think if the album cover?	If Strong Bad lowered his standards and kept imperfect pictures, handing one of those to The Cheat would give this conversation.
78946816		The Cheat Meh, Me mer mehr, me me mehr me-me mehrme mehr me "meh".
78947584		You're right, it's good, but it still need something to push it over the cliff. I love pushing stuff over cliffs!
83785600		Let me get another autograph!	Instead of having this conversation after handing Marzipan a signed glossy, the game skips this nonsense and goes straight to the autograph dialogue tree.
83785728		Marzipan Sure. Do you mind if I re-use one you've already got? We're running low.

0x3D64B		{angry} Since when do you have a [getting sick] (urp) crush on (blech) Marzipan?	Coach Z's creepin' on Marzipan was already well established, so this was cut.
0x3D6DD		Coach Z I'm not sure. {angry} I think it started last week when I accidentally listened to the Cool Tapes latest album 27 consecutive times in one sitting. {sad} After a while, it was like Marzipan was singing those songs only for me!

79725568		Take a look at this!	One final "bad picture" conversation that's inaccessible due to SB's pickiness. The cardboard Homestar referenced here is still in the game's files.
79725696		Marzipan That's a very nice picture of Limozeen, Strong Bad, but I'm kinda busy right now.
79725824		Hmm, looks like Marzipan can't tell the difference between real-life Limozeen and a cardboard facsimilitude, which might explain her current boyfriend...
79725952		I wonder how I can use this to my advantage?
79671680		Marzipan Will someone please turn off that thing off?	A cut response to The Whale's line that brings on Homestar's fall from grace.
79673216		Coach Z I can't believe I was about to throw my undesirables onstage!	More disturbing dialogue from Coach Z, cut from when the crowd turns on Homestar.
0x2AD12		Perry Palaroncini I want marry him AND be him! I'm so confused!	Unrecorded dialogue that's part of the PomStar (pre-sabotage) Limozeen dialogue.
0x2AE7C		So, Homestar's performance is a lot like one of Pom-Pom's old shows, huh?	A subsequent conversation about PomStar that never got past the writing stage.
0x2AEFD		Larry Palaroncini It's uncannytastic, man!
0x2AF51		Larry Palaroncini He's like a a white, armless, skinny clone Pom-Pom clone.
0x2AFC6		Perry Palaroncini Yeah, man... a white, armless, skinny clone...
0x2B140		Gary Palaroncini I'm so disillusioned!	Lastly, here are two lines cut from Strong Bad's conversation with Limozeen about PomStar after the sabotage.
0x2B190		Perrry Palaroncini To think I wanted to carry his babies...
82441728		Bubs You shut yer face! !	This line actually is used, in-between Coach Z's "Loves me like a brother" and "Hates me like a brother, too!" lines. But for some reason, it is only heard in extended play at the Track, and a conspicuous pause is in its place at the stage, where the same dialogue is used.

79784320		Y-Y-Y-Yo, Bubs! Nice work with the scri-scri-scritchitty-scratching.	Another early Bubs exchange, though this one was at least partially recorded.

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?
80138240		Larry Palaroncini: That's a good question, man!
0x28CBB		Larry Palaroncini: Let's take a look at the Squeedily-Dee-O-Meter!
0x28D26		Larry Palaroncini: Whoa, dude, it's looking like a three way tie for first!
0x28D9A		Perry Palaroncini: The only band the looks to be out of the running are those sucktards in D.O.I.
0x28E24		Perry Palaroncini: Yeah, dude. All the otherbands would have to come down with a serious case of the suck for those losers to win!
80138880		Larry Palaroncini: Ha-ha-haaaa!
0x28F18		Gary Palaroncini: Ha-ha-haaaa!
0x28F5F		Perry Palaroncini: Ha-ha-haaaa!
80139264		Strong Bad: Grrrr.
No Bands Sabotaged (Subsequent)
0x28FE5		Strong Bad: How's my contest going?
0x29034		Larry Palaroncini: Aside from those dips in D.O.I., everyone's really rockin' the house!
0x290B5		Strong Bad: Hey, those dips are my bandmates!
0x2910E		Larry Palaroncini: Sorry man.
0x29154		Strong Bad: No, you're right. They are dips.
One Band Sabotaged (First Time)
0x291AD		Strong Bad: How's the Contest going?
0x291FD		Larry Palaroncini: Great, man! We just met tsome tall-haired groupies, and--
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!
0x293B3		Larry Palaroncini: Looks like one of our bands has taken a tumble, leaving two rockin' acts fightin' it out for Battle Royale glory!
0x29460		Gary Palaroncini: D.O.I.'s still bringing up the rear, I see.
0x294C6		Perry Palaroncini: Man, do those guys bite the big one or what?
One Band Sabotaged (Subsequent)
0x2952E		Strong Bad: Any change in the Sqeedily-Dee-O-Meter?
0x2958D		Larry Palaroncini: Nope, still two bands in the lead, one band faltering, and D.O.I. making the rest of them look good.
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. A few lines imply that this would have been a handheld LCD game like the type that Tiger Electronics made in the 90s.

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...

Unused Graphics

File Name	Image	Comments
obj_cardboardhomestar		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		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.
