Strongbad finally goes Flash Video

I always find that levels of respect for your work in the online world is often tied with being able to name the "old days" through references to versions of software you started on (like, "I've been using Flash since it was called Future Splash"), tools you once used (or, "I begain programming websites with BBEdit, Notepad and Corel Draw v1.0"), or online phenomenons you know about from way back. Let's see, how about Joe Cartoon (and more specifically the Frog in the Blender), or Battlemail (I recently found another Battlemail warrior - ahh the memories) ... am I sounding cool(er) yet?

For me the ultimate has to be Strongbad and the Homestar Runner site. For years now you've been able to track the growth of the Flash tool with the increasing production quality in the Strongbad email cartoons. And now, Strongbad has included Flash video in the latest installment. Now don't get TOO excited, it looks more like video converted to a SWF or just embeded in the main movie, not FLVs or anything, but hey, it's a look they're going for ... you'll see what I mean anyway. And apart from the video, it's a pretty classic Strongbad.

Rock on Strongbad.
