Hey there, pretty people -- you might be interested in hearing the latest news about Telltale's upcoming WiiWare series, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People. As for the rest of you uglies, just movie on -- there's nothing to see here. (If you're perusing Wii Fanboy, you're clearly hot stuff, so don't worry and read on.)
Telltale reports that the first episode of the game, titled "Homestar Ruiner," centers around Strong Bad's desire to pummel Homestar Runner. He then decides that the best way to beat his rival would be to defeat him in the tri-annual Race to the End of the Race.
You can check out the video of "Homestar Ruiner" above, although it doesn't show too much gameplay. Occasionally, it looks like you have to choose something from a thought bubble in order to progress the story, but often there's only one item to choose from. Joystiq did report that the demo for SBCG4AP was pretty linear, but hopefully the episode in its entirety will have more to offer.
We've also added some new game screens to our gallery, which feature some beloved characters from the Homestar Runner-verse, so be sure to check them out.
[Via press release; also, thanks fco!]

So is the appeal of the HomeStar ilk is that it's so bad it's good?

Nah, the appeal nowadays is the cartoon-esque episodic-feel... something you'd watch on a Saturday morning with a bowl of cereal.
Not for everyone, it seems. :P

This particular clip wasn't exactly top notch Homestarrunner hilarity, but if you go watch the other cartoons on http://www.homestarrunner.com, you'll see some really funny stuff.

If you're into Homestar, you'll think this looks amazing. I, for one, am into Homestar, so I think it looks amazing.
