Is it even possible to have a Homestar thread without it breaking down to just quoting the show?

Oh, wow! Look at Da Huuuuuudge!

>Sever your leg, please.

Have you guys gotten your trogdor board game?

You just shanked my jenga-jam

Yes. It is. Possible. To have. A homestar thread. Without. It.
what was that last part again

I did, but I don't have anybody to play it with at the moment so it's still in the box. Almost went for the consummate edition but it was just out of my price range, only got Wyrmwood.

There's literally nothing to talk about in a HR thread.

Yep that market has Contracted a bit.

>I’ll sever your legs!

Then set it up in the dorm common area and see if anyone is interested.

That's not a bad idea, I'll look into the viability of that. Thanks user.

>MFW big sister used to teach english at college, and would play the “write my paper” email as a way to demonstrate how NOT to write, every semester for her class.

YOU MURDERER! You killed my brother... I mean, the thread.

I dunno user, I’ve found that “one battery five battery” slide really spruces up any paper on any subject

I’ve got two near me, one is a full on table top place that sells stuff for war hammer and the like. The other is this indoor mini golf course that has a wall of TVs with every system and a giant list of games. It cost ten bucks to get in but I have no idea how it’s been in business for 3 years

And now GameStop looks to be transitioning into that format as well.}

I can do it.
I will do it nine times.

yeah

Of for sure. Yea I'm just sticking with meeples and pins after seeing that.

Homestar is pretty much 20 years old. Why does it feel like it was the most promising gateway into all the amazing potential of "new media," and then nothing ever actually surpassed or even matched it? Am I right, and if so why

replying to myself:
I guess maybe Problem Sleuth and the beginnings of Homestuck felt like the next step in all the weird shit new media could do, until Homestuck shat the bed. And then everything else is just the same shit we already had, except done by amateurs. Podcasts are just radio, Youtube is just TV, Twitch is just live TV.

Social media is new, but it's just the compression and flandersization of everything wrong with humanity.

>except done by amateurs
Nobody taught the younger generation what a quality product was and now all their money is being directed to shit amateur product without production values. There is still good radio and TV out there but even the older generations are too retarded to identify creators who can make reliable product to stick to it.

The only way product makes it anywhere is if the creator or some business person comes along and transforms some thing into a brand. Things like Homestar and Pewdiepie just fall ass-backwards into all the exposure and marketshare but everyone else has to become a brand, like Game Grumps. Penny Arcade was by no means the first webcomic but Robert Khoo came along and turned their exceptional amateur thing into a business and then a juggernaut.

The thing is, the old media realizes this. They know that everyone's just doing shit out of their rundown apartment, which means the old media doesn't have to invest money in professionally trained or educated talent anymore (i.e. people who went to a school) they just have to cut a cheque to some idiot they found on YouTube with a following; it's cheaper for them and they don't have to pay their upkeep besides some PR events. The reason why you don't see shit like Homestar or Penny Arcade anymore is because shit like that gets bought now and becomes the property of Red Bull or some mainstream company like that. People like Justin Roiland was found in a figurative dumpster and Dan Harmon came along with a big fucking pile of money. It's now the money that elevates the product, not the quality of the product itself.

Homestuck was just an example of Hussie having no real business people guide him. He was an idiot, wasted his exposure, and partnered with parasitic artists looking to take some of his lottery winnings instead of someone who would help him turn his product into a proper brand. Homestuck is nothing but a failed brand.

You say that like it's undesirable
these days Yea Forums is fucking insufferable, so I'll be happy just to have a little steam and sugar yknow

I don't really do board games, or have friends. It doesn't really look fun, I feel like almost anything would have been a better use of their creativity, time, and fundraising
But we got some great videos out of it, Six Sadded Die was good

I'm a sooooong from the sixties.

you guys ever play the rick and morty 'rushed licensed adventure' game that was made by the same guy (Sterritt right?) and had the same excellent feels.

theyd better not shut down selling games before I use up my copious gamestop points to buy games!

fuckin games need to come out more quickly, I've been waiting ages to use these points on something but.. nothing good is out

a what?
>a bouuuuwwd

first nobody wanted to learn flash
then flash got fucked with by every purveyor of browsers plus by flash's new owners
then they said html5 would replace flash
then nobody wanted to learn html5
so basically nobody wants to make diddly squat anymore

Does anyone know which cartoon Marzipan says “They should’ve just got married and have babies and than the babies should’ve had babies.”

anytime you want to know something like that, google it plus 'hrwiki' (or go to the hrwiki and search but their search isn't as good)

oh and in this case since you had the quote a bit off, I'll look it up for you

Ah yes, the Paul McGann of sbemail computers. Unique, marred by kinda crappy writing but still pretty viewable and a valid part of the overall product.

yeah

>So hang on hang on hang on hang on. You wanna bet me that you is cool?

Well user, the short answer is no. The long answer is... NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

They really need to bring him back for an "X doctors" episode. The special proved he still has the screen chops to pull off being the Doc.

I regret not pre ordering when I had the chance.
Would love to have a board game night sometime with family and friends.
Are they going to eventually sell it?

I still always say, and never rightways say:
>stnank
>jorb
>lappy
>grood
>very yes
>jold
>four letters word / 100 dollars bill
>Cutesy Buttons (in place of any female character's name I can't think of)
>all up ons
>Valentimes
>baleeted
>no probalo
>excardon me
>Elizagerth
>juys
and I would probably 'mash go' on things all the time, except everything's touch'em-screens nowadangdays.

oh also 'hadplen' which was gravity falls but I double dare you that was a Matt Chapman line

it appears they are indeed now selling it. rejoice!

Yeah, it arrived very quickly after they said they were shipping them out. I'll probably never play it, but I wanted it after all the years of content they provided.

I felt the same way I bought the game just wanting to support their kick starter. But I’ve been able to play a few rounds and it’s been pretty good. Honestly they’re the only patron I’d ever willingly support but I don’t think they ever figured out what they wanted that to be, which I do respect honestly

i love H*R

it gave me more joy than it had any right to in the 00s

we thought things were bad because Windows crashed all the time and we were in two wars. now computers sell our personal data and location, hackers steal that information all the time, and we're in the same two wars.

H*R was what Regular Show was trying to be: randomly cute but suburban.

A friend in the 4th grade introduced me to Homestar saying "this site has all these cool games". I don't think he realized that they sucked on purpose, cause neither did I.
It wasn't until middle school that I clicked on Toons and it wasn't until high school until I realized how funny they were.

I don't know, LOSER

>Tfw used a homsar quote for my yearbook in high school

>Youtube is just TV
No way, man. Youtube is TV but cybernetically optimized for the cheapest costs and lowest possible quality. The business model is to be the only self-publishing video platform on the internet, and that's it. They're not looking for great shows, they don't reward talent, they aren't trying to grow brands. Just monopoly control. That's it. It's more exploitative than TV, has ironically less variety than TV (remember the Rewind where the "animation community" was a collection of featureless white blobs?), and is not profitable for studios.

It's the next step down for TV. The TV that concerned curmudgeons said we'd have if reality TV kept dominating the airwaves.

>Twitch is just live TV
It's not even. Twitch is made up of video games that studios poured countless man hours into and then released as a completed project before hand. If the video game is interest, then Twitch is interesting, and it doesn't have much to do with the talent of the streamers. I mean that much is obvious because what's popular on Twitch is always the hottest game, not the hottest streamer, and if the streamer plays an unpopular game he gets no viewership.

>Podcasts are just radio
This much is true. It's also cheaper than Youtube video, and since all Youtube promotes are podcast levels of spending, basically podcasts are more viable and have a brighter future than Youtube content. Unless Google pulls the noose on them, because Google is powerful and can ruin anything it wants to for the sake of its monopoly.

I've yet to see another series like H*R to have self-contained spin-offs like TGS and Cheat Commandos where you don't need prior knowledge of something else to enjoy them.

The thing about internet at that time was that animation was the only way to deliver video content to people because of bandwidth restraints. Youtube wasn't a thing, and the only major video site was Newgrounds, which was littered with pornography and toilet humor that lowered its mass appeal.

It was also in the time of the webcomics, where people managed their own websites and then personally curated and recommended their favorite comics. The web economy was stronger, because people were paying to move traffic back and forth between sites instead of relying on massive web platforms to host and advertise everything.

Once the internet shrank down and a handful of companies owned everything, it was the death of quality online entertainment. You weren't working for yourself anymore - you now Google, or Amazon, or Facebook, and these companies have rules about the kind of content they want to see. Not smart rules like, "Don't draw Spiderman pissing in Else's mouth", but frustrating corporate rules like, "post at least three new videos per week", which you just can't work with if you're serious about making a good product.

There was some other products that came out before the online market closed up. Plenty of things looked promising, but many of them rose in the era of Youtube, and then vanished as Youtube cut them off. Meanwhile, personal websites have dropped off like flies.

The markets changed, basically, and the business model has become less about sustaining independent creation and more about funneling ad revenue towards your host platform.
