Homestar Ruiner - The Cartoon Cut

SBCG4AP Homestar Ruiner, but if it were a cartoon!

this edit attempts to pace dialogue more naturally without all the awkward pausing, and attempts to create a cohesive, linear narrative, as if were a cartoon all along.

to accomplish this goal, wherever possible, all video-gamey elements are removed. this does result in a slightly different story being told, as a few story beats were re-organized to give context.

for instance, it would be tedious to show the viewer that strong bad has to go collect an onion, and give it to homestar. the peak of the humor is that strong bad is able to convince homestar to rub the onion all over himself. seeing him specifically collect the onion isn't funny, interesting, or contextually significant enough to warrant making the cut.

it makes for a fun gameplay challenge that the player has to think to even get the onion in the first place. but for a cartoon, it's just not relevant or funny.

the same thing goes for total load. strong bad responding to the spam email isn't as funny as him just inexplicably having illegal performance enhancers on his person, just to put them into pom pom's bag. once again, gameplay warrants a fetch quest, where a cartoon wouldn't have taken the detour.

this edit definitely has my own creative intuition inserted into it, and it's okay for you to disagree with what made the cut and what didn't. regardless, i found this edit to be very fun to make, and i'm thankful i get to share it with you all!
