Action Cool News-oween Report

Strong Badia Action Cool News investigates a controversial Halloween decoration.

[@Sarymbo]

Animation takes a long time to make. I am 100% on board for more puppet content. Also. please start selling Kick the Cheat again.

[@cheezyvids]

Not getting one back in 2009 really shattered my 7 year old Christmas beliefs, and I’d really love to fill in this hole in my soul

[@digamejh]

Furthermore, it only takes one of the Brothers Chap to make (one does animation and one does voices)!

[@mom2mmpt]

I'll take new Homestar any way I can get it!

[@RanMouri82]

Plus they would need to animate differently, since all the old H*R was Flash, and Flash went bye-bye about a year ago.

[@David0gden]

@@RanMouri82 Hahaha. Rumors of Flash's demise have been exaggerated. Flash still works for creation. I could make something in Flash and upload it to KZbin, no problem.

[@xenos_n.]

I love how this has just been two decades of self-referencial inside jokes.

[@rileylynch3200]

And to those on the outside of these jokes I say.... COME ON IN HEREEEEEE

[@Amins88]

Even though I grew up watching since the beginning, it's been so long that it feels like I'm on the outside now. I need to just go back through and binge through all the Homestar Runner content.

[@PickleJello]

I do have to wonder how I got into Homestar Runner, considering how much of its humor is self referential. But I'm not complaining.

[@hotpileofgarbage]

The lore has reached critical mass!

[@ColdPie]

I was like, aww he didn't say "tonight" and then he did.

[@jacobs.9661]

I would pay a VERY large sum of money for some official jibblies Halloween decor.

[@Aereto]

I, for one, would fund Kickstarter for that. And Kick the Cheat encore.

[@Mario9919DX]

Same.

[@pscwplb]

I would pay upwards of two Sega tapes.

[@TBustah]

Even if it was a static piece with no animatronics, or a much smaller one, I’d buy it if the price was right. It could be like those talking bass things that were so popular twenty years ago.

[@ctso74]

Came to say the same.

[@zeitgeistindustries1792]

"I'm going to stand outside your house and slowly peel a single potato"

[@metanight788]

Literally watched Jibbles 2 last night just on a whim and now this is here.

[@gunDyBeo]

Gotta admit, if someone was peeling a single potato outside my house at night, I’d prolly die of overjibblification

[@Aereto]

Peeling ASMR: Outside Your Bedroom Window!

[@LchanOtakudom]

That NEEDS to be a word! Overjibblification!

[@negascoot23]

RIGHT?😂 I can't explain why, but somehow that would be *worse* than finding someone with a butcher knife...or a peeping tom. At least you KNOW why they're there... A person creeping around outside your house, doing nothing but slowly peeling a single potato.... You would have nothing but questions: WHY are they peeling that potato? OUTDOORS?? Outside YOUR HOUSE??? So SLOWLY???? What is their endgame? What will they DO with that potato if they ever finish peeling it? You wouldn't even be sure if you should call the police. Can you imagine how ridiculous you would feel describing the scene to the cops? _"No, they're not doing anything specifically threatening...Are they armed? Um, does a potato peeler count? NO! I certainly have NOT tried to talk to them! What could I possibly say? What?! NO I HAVEN'T BEEN DRINKING!!! Are you gonna send somebody or not? THE POTATO IS ALMOST FULLY PEELED! Hello? Officer?"_

[@nickn271]

Now that Flash is dead whatever they use to animate these toons is amazing. I can feel the classic motion tweens and deprecated actions.

[@sentrysapper45]

Don't forget the consummate V's!

[@xenos_n.]

[@Scarybug]

As a former flash dev, I lost it at "deprecated actions" :D

[@GroupNebula563]

I think they’re still using Flash to create them. They’re just running them in Ruffle.

[@matthewhanf3033]

You can still render Flash as other video files.

[@SilenTHerO78614]

[@Amins88]

@@SilenTHerO78614 I feel like there are enough people out there that would love to see this series continue that they could easily find help with animating, or at least help with learning a new format. It doesn't necessarily have to be just a pair of brothers going alone anymore. But I know the idea of allowing other hands on your project can be hard to accept.

[@Amins88]

@@Tetracera. What software do you use? I have a bunch of swf files saved from years ago I'd like to get converted.

[@Bootleg_Jones]

The real question on *my* mind is whether a yard decoration saying "come on in here" constitutes an invitation inside as per vampire rules, aa well as whether vampires are immune to the jibnlies or not.

[@Aereto]

And also critiques your interior deco.

The jibbily painting should be a new item of trogdor, maybe the effect could be it freezes the pesents, knights and archer with the jibblie, but the trog hammer would not be effected The recharge would be that you had to do your best impression of the jibblies painting 🖼

That could be a powerful card in a Trogdor game.
