Telltale have provided us with a trailer and images for the upcoming second episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People, as well as a new 'making of' video.
Can you handle Strong Bad's style yet? The first episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People, Homestar Ruiner, has been out on WiiWare for just over a week now and has received much critical acclaim from the press and fans alike (we awarded it with a glowing 9/10 in our review). The second installment in the hilarious episodic series is due out next month, and Telltale have begun to promote Episode 2: Strong Badia the Free with a new trailer, screenshots and a 'making of' documentary called Behind the Bad.
The King of Town was last seen plotting revenge following a rather long and painful stay with steroid-guzzling mole people in Marzipan's back yard, and has since transformed into a villainous dictator hellbent on making Strong Bad pay for his misdeeds.
The upcoming episode was hinted at during the ending sequence of Homestar Ruiner, and the King of Town gives you a rather ominous promise of revenge if you go to speak to him following completion of the episode. Strong Badia the Free kicks off when the King of Town forcefully fits Strong Bad with an explosive collar, places him under house arrest and imposes a new email tax on the town. Infuriated, Strong Bad rises up to the evil dictatorship of the King to unite the peoples of Free County, USA under the banner of Strong Badia and begin a rebellion against the King of Town's regime.
Your treacherous journey will see you meeting and recruiting the reality bending anomaly that is 'Homsar', created following a typo in a Strong Bad email. Click here to see the rest of the new images.
The trailer for Episode 2 was originally included with Homestar Ruiner, but now consumers who aren't yet attractive or cool enough to play can see what they're missing. Behind the Bad should be of interest to fans of the series or web series to see, from Mr. Bad's perspective, how SBCG4AP first came about.
Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People Episode 2: Strong Badia the Free will be gracing your Wii with sky-rocketting levels of awesomeness at some point in September.
