Title: Trogdor theme? Yes? No?
Post by: Distortion on March 21, 2003, 05:02:52 pm
I was trying to come up with a theme when a friend of mine suggested I should paint the sides of my cab like the sides of Strong Bad's cab, Trogdor: The Burninator.  I think it would be wicked awesome, and all my friends and I are big fans of the Homestar Runner website.  Do you think this is a good idea?  You can see Strong Bad's cabinet and play his game at this address.

heh... i can feel the burninnation ...

You'd need a front end like strongbads 386sx

it could sing... "and the mame cabinet let loose in the niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggghhht!" or something.

the characters are vector drawn... maybe if you asked the author of SB/HSR they'd send you some char shots that you could blow up to mondo side art size to make the real life trogdor cabinet... *Shrug*

Yeah, I did think of that, but I don't think I can afford what it would cost to print that.  I'd probably just end up painting it myself...which wouldn't be too bad.

If you're a big fan of homestarrunner / Strong Bad, I think it'd be a great idea.

you could pay for it by ebaying half eaten breakfast burritos  ...  that'll fetch at least $3.50
