Am I the only one who thinks that if this is going to be their main page style from now on, they should update the other ones to match? Of course, I've been wanting them to fix some of the sloppy animation and outdated character designs from the early ones (Homestar's downturning mouth) for years now.

Also... they are seriously running low on space for those main page links.

Well I am the exact same.

Don't see why it would be. Tofu Homestar, the KOT, Strong Bad, and Homsar all have their own main pages, so why not TGS or Cheat Commandos?

I seriously thought there already was one. I must have been thinking of the sketch-on-paper one.

I don't actually like the new menu style. The shading seems TOO glossy. Not smooth enough, it just looks like half the H*R logo is white with a little opacity while the other isn't.

Yeah, me too. I thought it was just something they figured they'd do as an experiment to see what all those Flash 8 effects could accomplish, as long as they were making a Requires Flash Player 8 Or Higher page; clearly that was not the case. I'm starting to get tired of all the dipped-in-molten-plexiglass look lately anyway (and TBC even made fun of it in "redesign"), but this is even gaudier than most. Especially since H*R has always had a clean, flat, simple style to it.

I thought it was to look more realistic, since they're using puppets.

The only other time they've used it is on the 20/200 page, and I thought that was so when you put on the glasses (store!), and everything comes into focus, it looks clearer than usual. Just a thought...

This is probably my favorite main page. I don't know why, but I love the Homestar-Variant type puppet when you mouse over STORE. Is he from anything else? that guy needs his OWN main page!(He IS a Homestar-Variant after all.)

I could have sworn the last one only came out a month or two ago. A whole year? I check the website every day, and I know I didn't know about this any time before April, at the most.

He was used to illustrate a "Homestar vs. Homestar" fight in an Easter egg in strong badathlon.

Bah. Yes, this new "non-Homestar" is enigmatic to say the least. I'd like to see him turn up in an sbemail as some sort of surprise.

BTW, what on earth is the horned Bubs puppet talking about? Some sort of e-mail pie? Barf-bags?? :mrgreen:

CHECK THE WIKI. IT SAYS SO THERE
He asks if it's email pie or barf bags or something. "All that fun stuff". Ridiculous...
LOVE the "exact same" homestar"

I know the words he said... but what was he talking about?

Ummm... I think he was just being an idiot. I'm a bit confused myself.

Ben333 · **Posted:** Sat Aug 30, 2008 1:18 am

Maybe it's a barf bag that has a pic of :sb:

on it.

I am SUCH an idiot.

AN EDIT: I think that ALL the Characters should have their own main page, eh?

His non-sequituring is potentially up there with Homsar and Senor Cardgage, I'm not sure if the world can handle 3 of them.

Yeah I guess. OH SPARK! AN IDEA! A toon staring only :senor:

and

. Both getting to know each other in like, prison, or maybe Sweet Cuppin' Cakes land or something. THAT TOON would rule.

Wasn't there that "the non-sequitur champ" contest, run by Homestar in "The Show" environment and with Strong Sad judging. I was just saying the shark-tooth bubs appears to qualify for that too.

[edit] SOME OF MY BUSES!

Xtermenator · **Joined:** Tue Aug 19, 2008 5:32 am **Posts:** 148

Yeah that one thing in the store when they were having a T shirt contest. Homsar won, woot. Senor rules too though (I would have bought that shirt if his eyes were green. Twas a bit dissapointed at the lack of color)

I kinda think that there needs to be more of homestar's show. His show is the best!

And for some reason I kinda doubt they'll be using the shark toothed bubs again. Unless they start making more PUPPET toons, but even then I don't know what he'd fit into...

Agreed, there's been not so much The-Show-ness around recently, and it has so much potential for Homestar to be really, really... dumb.

Do you have Everything Else Vol. 1? Shark-tooth has a great part in that. Basically Matt just takes him around town ad-libbing stuff. Shark-tooth is great.

Ideas! 16Bit 3-D (DUH!) Coach Zs lock-a room! (Coach Z in the backround: I got character Yo I aint playin Yo!) SPANISH! CRAPPY 3-D! (ala the dateing sim) TEENS! (highschool) Free Petry Dish USA
Also on the TGS abd Cheat Commandos it could have Homestar badly drawn with SB something'd-ing Homestar and Homestar standing in front of the telebision for Cheat Commandos!

Well...before this page,when asked what idea for a home page you would have,all you would say was:Puppets.
