    Guess my favorites…!

    “THE SYSTEM, IS DOWN. THE SYSTEM, IS DOWN. THE SYSTEM, IS DOWN. THE SYSTEM, IS DOWN. The Cheat! Is grounded!”

    “What is this? Did the quadratic formula explode? I see a ‘Strong ba’ in there, but it’s getting eaten, by some… Linux or something.”

    “BACK OFF BABY”

    “No way. You’re just a kid! Maybe when you’re older…”

    I haven’t been able to find it in years, but SB got an email from some chick who wanted to bone him (or whatever PG-13 lingo they used), and accidently deleted it. He panics, then gets another email that’s all broken English, but claiming to be the same person. At first excited, he then says:

    It is difficult to pick a favorite.

    Of course I have a fondness for “Dragon.”

    “Virus” comes to mind as well as a particularly good showcase of Flash animation. Some of the magic is lost now that Flash is dead and you’re probably going to view the cartoon in a video player, but as originally presented they really pulled off some great interface screws like having Homestar pick apart the links at the bottom.

    I really miss the Flash era, it felt so much more creative. Hell just having “cartoon or game” as a sliding scale was cool; Homestar Runner cartoons were all at least slightly interactive in ways no one does anymore for lack of a suitable media.
