No, seriously, new holiday toon (http://homestarrunner.com/xmas10.html).

Does this mean they'll start regular updates again? I'm so excited!

That'd be great, I would love to see more homestarrunner videos, i used to watch them all the way through elementary school and up until they stopped updating. It'd bring great nostalgia.

Yeah, I loved watching their stuff in middle school and high school.

You could just zoom out. That's what I did.

Also, what's with a bunch of the rejected characters being in the toon? Are they going to become official characters? I'd love to see the Hurricane in a toon.

Considering that Homsar has lived through a large heavy thing landing on him... (http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail2.html)

This was, coincidentally, all I wanted for Decemberween.
Yes. Fantastic.

Edit: Could you rename the thread Homestar Runner is back? or something?
I thought this was a discussion of his dorsal region.

Did they actually ever say anything about their hiatus anywhere and I just missed it or is this basically the first that's been heard of them since April?

I have to say though, I loved it. :smallbiggrin:

I'm not sure. I'm actually surprised they didn't lampshade the hiatus in the toon. Whenever they take a long break, it's usually lampshaded in the first new toon.

According to the Wiki, one of them had a second kid. But yay, they're back now! Happy Dethemberween, everyone!

Oh my gosh it's a Christmas Decemberween Miracle.

No, seriously, I used Homestar Runner in my Studio Thesis. The College's Outstanding Achievement in Art 2010 Award Winning Studio Thesis. I had heard that the Brothers Chaps went on extended hiatus due to childbirth and family issues, then someone got involved in making a movie and also there was that poker game coming out. I'm not watching it until everyone comes back from work, so we can all watch it together like all campy holiday specials should be watched.

I think mine would have to be Crack Stuntman whose plays the Gunshaver on the Cheat Command show.

That's why this probably "the first new toon" but a one-off holiday toon that shows that they haven't forgotten how to use Flash.

All the same, this is an ever nicer Decemberween present than a space show DVD.

i believe there was some issue with their baby
2 of them (the voice guy and marzipans voice) are married and trying to raise a family, so i guess we can cut the m a little slack
but still 8 depressing months :(

Me too, but it wouldn't hurt to have more of the Hremail spinoff too.

Meh, I liked the HRemails, but I'd like to see a SBemail 300 even if it takes a few years. Also, more Cheat Commandos and Crack Stuntman please!

Mr. Zolrane
2010-12-18, 11:26 PM
Eh, the hremails were cool in a meta sorta way while they lasted, but the premise was already feeling a little thin. Sbemails are classic; that's what we need more of, always. Just my two-cents.

SBemails have started to turn too much into satires. I don't, but it's just Strong Bad criticizing various topics.

I think that a lot of the site turned that way. I agree with a previous poster that Teen Girl Squad was excellent, but the last few were far more forced than the rest. I don't know that the quality dropped so much as that the bar kept getting moved higher. I can respect that they decided that the tank was empty, although it would have been friendlier if they had announced it instead of leaving their fans to check the site once a week for updates.

That, I think is the primary problem with HR: no communication with the fans whatsoever.

I just love how surreal Teen Girl Squad was even compared to the rest of Homestar Runner. The over generalizations, discontinuity, the surreal deaths; I know everyone loves ARROW'D! but I think my favorite death was when one of the characters got runner over by a truck labels CHILDREN and then Strong Bad exclaimed CHILDREN'D!

Let's hope there's another update Monday/some time this week.

I can't believe that Homestar's back! It's been so long. I admit, I almost lost hope that the site would ever update again.

Dr.Epic
2010-12-23, 11:57 PM
When I saw ween costumes, I assumed it would be just Strong Bad doing commentary about fan costumes. I guess this is a sort of make up for no Halloween toon. Let's hope they still update weekly.
