Telltale has announced<\/a> that 2008’s certified classic adventure game Strong Bad\u2019s Cool Game for Attractive People<\/i> is facing imminent delisting. It\u2019s now or never if you want to own one of the most impactful and significant masterpieces in human existence.<\/p>\n

In a heart-rending press release, Telltale states, \u201cUnfortunately, we can no longer support Strong Bad\u2019s Cool Game for Attractive People<\/i>. We no longer have the rights to the IP, and so we can no longer sell or support the game series.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh man, the press release is, like, two non-paragraphs long, so I\u2019ll just give you the rest. \u201cSo, whether you\u2019ve had a dance party with The Cheat or you poked fun at Homestar Runner, you can still download all your episodes from the PC digital storefronts where you bought the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s me! I mean, I don\u2019t remember when I did either of those things, but I definitely bought the game. I guess if I want to also own it on, hm, PlayStation 3, now\u2019s my 4-minute warning.<\/p>\n

Real talk: Strong Bad\u2019s Cool Game for Attractive People<\/i> is a great game if you dig the humor of Homestar Runner<\/i><\/a>. While the march of time has aged humor from the \u201890s and \u201800s pretty poorly, Homestar Runner<\/i> somehow transcends that by already never existing in exactly one moment to begin with. The games that make up the only season of Strong Bad\u2019s Cool Game for Attractive People<\/i> are also great representations of the early period of Telltale\u2019s success as they tried to resurrect the point-and-click adventure genre. They\u2019re maybe not the best games, but they are just plain the best<\/i>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hoping that Telltale is losing the IP because the Brothers Chaps are transferring it to Skunkape games to have the games remastered in the same way that they touched up the Sam & Max<\/i> Telltale titles. That\u2019s not based on any research, hearsay, or rumor; that\u2019s just what I hope is happening. One thing is for sure: new games in the Homestar Runner<\/i> universe are still happening, as Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate <\/i><\/a>is set to drop soon on PC.<\/p>\n

If you want to grab Strong Bad\u2019s Cool Game for Attractive People<\/i>, now may be your last chance on PC<\/a> and PS3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
