Every single episode of SBCG4AP is a ray of sunshine in a cold, desolate world that puts a smile on my face. Homestar Runner is the balm to a wounded soul. That being said, if you asked me which of the five episodes was my least favorite, I would say this one with zero hesitation.

Don't get me wrong! It’s still super funny and I love all the callbacks! This game just also makes it abundantly clear that Homestar Runner works best when you have this rich cast of disturbed weirdos bouncing insults off of one another and unfortunately we lose some of that when some of the cast (Marzipan and King of Town, mainly) is rendered mute after being possessed by video game characters.

I will say, props to this game for having some really obscure video game references. I was not expecting a joke about LOAD“FILE”,8,1 or Hard Hat Mack.
