That game is way cool.

*runs off to get addicted*

Where do you find this stuff...??? :-)

Posted by: geeketeer at March 17, 2003 04:30 PM

Never mind...just saw the URL...

Posted by: geeketeer at March 17, 2003 04:32 PM

Absolutely the Best Game Ever!

I'd thank you for taking me to it, had i not already played it 14 times today. But thanks anyways......

Posted by: Joe at March 17, 2003 04:34 PM

SWORDED!

Damn, I have been playing this game for about an hour now... I really should be working.

ARGH!

Oh man, its like Im right there, in the vilage...

Only true strongbad followers would get that joke.

Posted by: Jason at March 17, 2003 04:38 PM

Man, I gotta get away from the knights! I mean, the game. I like the dancing trogdors after level 16, er, uh, 17, er, I don't remember. Like 'em, though.

My head is on fire!

Posted by: ze-mag at March 17, 2003 04:42 PM

Fantastic - beats listening to the "Ultimatum Speech" that's about to be delivered (with a straight face, amazingly enough). Thanks Wil

Posted by: des4 at March 17, 2003 04:50 PM

You are truly evil, Will. Another productivity virus for me :-)

Posted by: jj at March 17, 2003 04:53 PM

Wil!
That's a cool one. Reminds me of a new, brought-up-to-date Atari game.

I think you should learn some Flash Wil, and make a WWDN weekly cartoon. You could be the star of your own cartoon! And you wouldn't have to worry about suffering any Klingon Convention Trauma either >;}

Posted by: WebNuT! at March 17, 2003 04:54 PM

Wil,
Its even easy enough for me to play. Those swords sting.

FG

Posted by: Fabian at March 17, 2003 05:06 PM

and who would think such a simple game could be so addictive?

Posted by: inga at March 17, 2003 05:10 PM

Trogdoooooooorrr!!!

Burninating the villages,
Burninating the peoples,
Burninating the Countryside,
Trogdooooooooooooorrr!!!

I sing this song at work.

That would explain my lack of promotion and surrounding field of empty desks.

I am so going ot order a Trogdor T-shirt...nnnnnnnnn-now.

*orders*

Posted by: EnglishBen at March 17, 2003 05:22 PM

I immediately played through 5 levels earlier today when I discovered TROGDOR! the Arcade Game.

ARROWED!

Oh no!

Posted by: EzzValdez at March 17, 2003 05:40 PM

Wil,

Reminds me of the movie Dragonheart, except this time I get to be Sean Connery..lol...My best to you and your family, Ozzman

Posted by: The Ozzman at March 17, 2003 05:44 PM

if you find Miner 2049er or Impossible Mission online without emulators (WHY WONT THEY WORK ON MY COMPUTER!?!?) oh please oh please post it as well!

Wow, Ghastly has featured Wil for two weeks now http://ghastly.keenspace.com/

I was sworded to death. Then I was arrowed to death. The village is safe from me.

But this is my Favorite:

Another game to get addicted to. lol, thanks!

Posted by: Megan at March 17, 2003 06:32 PM

And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIGGGHHHTTTT!

Posted by: wil at March 17, 2003 06:36 PM

I love it when they kick the arcade box and it says, "Trogdor."

Posted by: Traugott at March 17, 2003 06:54 PM

In the animation where they are playing Trogdor in the basement, if you click on Homestar's tax papers he brings in you will see his expenditures for 2002. Funny stuff. The new Stinko Man short is pretty funny too.

Posted by: brendoman at March 17, 2003 06:56 PM

why must i be cursed with the curse of the non-working fun game? or am i not patient enought for the game to load?

Posted by: nixtr at March 17, 2003 07:15 PM

Hehehehe, that is waaaaaaay too fun!
Tho' when I checked here, I did expect a response to the "Ultimatum".
But Trogodor is even more amusing!

Posted by: Karina at March 17, 2003 07:30 PM

Fire breath,gross :P

Posted by: Tammie at March 17, 2003 07:56 PM

That was cool. Of course my hubby looked over at me as I yell, "yes, burnination" and just shook his head and laughed but oh well. :P

Posted by: NephraTari at March 17, 2003 08:16 PM

Man, how do you *ever* get anything done. Now I won't.

On Pi day, I got all my hair cut off (18 inches plus) and bleached it platinum (the remaining hair, of course). If anyone else is thinking of doing something crazy like this, here is where you can donate your hair for kids with cancer:
http://www.locksoflove.org
Way cool.

Posted by: Christal at March 17, 2003 08:50 PM

My housemate and I have loved Trogdor from the first appearance of his 'consummate Vs', and wasted much valuable essay-writing/language-translating time today attempting to "lay all to burnination"

I sincerely hope my professor understands tomorrow when I explain the reason that my assignment will be late.

Posted by: skandrae at March 17, 2003 09:18 PM

I enjoyed the game and the trail of other places to visit from this post.

But this was the best of the lot.

Posted by: Chris at March 17, 2003 10:03 PM

And I donated three 12" braids of hair to the Locks of Love about 3 years ago. Took some of the pain away from having it cut in the first place, knowing someone was helped by it. Excellent cause.

Chris

Posted by: Chris at March 17, 2003 10:06 PM

yeah, man; i got the high score at this game. ok, not really... but it's still cool. :)

Wil,

I'll stick to;

"Save Them Goldfish !"

Posted by: wade art at March 18, 2003 12:43 AM

i wasted an entire morning playing this game. level ten, baby!

eric

Posted by: eky at March 18, 2003 01:20 AM

My favorite part of this game is the fact that as Trogdor I can burninate the village peasants, who run back into their homes and burninate their own houses so I don't have to do it.

Commence burninating lazyness! Woooooo!

Posted by: Sally at March 18, 2003 03:05 AM

Arrrgh! Wil, you *jerk*! I show up in the computer lab this morning, being all virtuous and junk, expecting to get work done, but NOOO, you have to post some cool time-wasting link! There goes my damn degree...

And now, away, away to waste more ti... Err, away to write THE THESIS! ;)

Posted by: ChimChim at March 18, 2003 03:22 AM

?????....not geek enough to "get it"....sigh.

Posted by: bluecat/redblanket at March 18, 2003 05:52 AM

I was a substitute teacher for high school computer classes yesterday and I came across a kid playing this game during class. He thought I was going to tell him to stop, but to everyone's surprise I said "Dude! Is that a Trogdor game!?" I proceeded to watch and encourage his burninating of those insolent peasants. The students then pronounced me a cool sub. w00t.

You should totally be able to burninate the knights. I hate those buggers. And I certainly know when I play games MY knights don't "sword" dragons half that easily. And I never encounter dragons as cool as Trogdor! Trogdor has to have some means of reprisal against the knights. Maybe he could pick up one of the knights with that strong arm of his.

Posted by: Jackson at March 18, 2003 07:37 AM

Damm Wil that was a 10 on the big GEEK-METER. But i will be back later on today to play it again. You got me HOOKED. Is this somekind of brainwashing tool you are using on us to buy your book. If it is, its working. "Yes Master i will purchase the great book writtin by Wil Wheaton." Oh shit its wroking, must fight it, oh god resistance is futile, now im part of the geek collective, ive been asimilated. "Where's my pocket protector."

All you've proved is that you read Fark and are addicted to Homestar like the rest of us. :)

Posted by: Christopher Feyrer at March 18, 2003 08:56 AM

Friggin' Knights! Nifty time killer you've found, Wil. Thanks for getting yet another addiction rolling!

Posted by: Eric at March 18, 2003 09:23 AM

You know, i'm beginning to worry... am i getting old and decrepit? I think it totally sucks! :)

Posted by: Per at March 18, 2003 09:24 AM

To Austin

While you are correct in that you are not going to change my opinion on terms from WWII, I do in fact wholeheartedly agree with your opinion that soldiers from the other side were just boys and had absolutley no Idea what was going on in the concentration camps.
My grandmother and grandfather were survivors of Nazi Germany, an the acts of barbarism committed against friends of my family were atrocious,
not to mention a frightening commentary on the evil a human mind can stoop to when greed and supremacy are first and foremost in thier mind.(Can we say Bush?) But I digress. I wholeheartedly agree with and respect your opinion. But thhat doesn't meanthat I am going to change mine. I don't mean to be so touchy, I am really quite an agreeable person when I want to be, but when you are a child of no more then six, and your head is pumped full of horror stories about Nazi's and SS and bombings in the night, you kind of recoil when any mention is made of the war, and terms like Blitzkrieg only serve to remind you of those stories. Although one has nothing to do withthe other really, it does explain why I am so sensitive..... Anyway, my point is that the term is offensive, and they certainly could have found anotherto serve thier marketing agenda more effectivley, and with less backlash from people like me.
Stay cool....

What exactly is this anyway?.......
P.S.
WIL!!!!
How the &*#^ do you get of the mailing list for not in our name?

KEEP ON TRUCKING BABY YEAH!

Posted by: AngelDust at March 18, 2003 10:44 AM

HomestarRunner rawks. Trogdor is no exception.

Nuff said. Commence to burninate!

Posted by: Brian at March 18, 2003 11:06 AM

Trogdor has once again proceeded to rock my posterior off my lower torso.

thank you, dear Wil, for bringing even more
trogdor into my world.

Posted by: jenne at March 18, 2003 11:10 AM

Damn you, Wil! I have a paper due & now I'm spending all my time burninating villages.

Posted by: MsRetro at March 18, 2003 11:32 AM

Wil, you have WAY too much time on your hands!

Posted by: Annie at March 18, 2003 11:46 AM

Wil, I have no idea what I'm doing, but it sure makes me feel better. BURNINATE!!!!GRRRRRR :)

Ohhh, man, Wil, I'm addicted too. . .All I need is another time-waster these days.

Posted by: sarahc at March 18, 2003 09:19 PM

Well, it's nice to know that even if there was a repeat of "The Great Video Game Crash of 1984" ( http://www.grantster.com/1984.html ), there will still be a few absurdly simple yet surprisingly addictive games running around that will captivate some of us die-hard Geeks :}

If only Atari hadn't made the disastrous mistakes it made back then. I wonder what the game console industry would be like if Atari Inc. were still around. I imagine Pac-Man would look more like the real thing and that silly E.T. game would still just be a pile of crushed plastic and silicon buried under a few hundred pounds of cement...

Posted by: WebNuT! at March 18, 2003 10:41 PM

A little disco music helps pave the way for a little Trogdor good time!


"DO A LITTLE BURNINATE DANCE"

"MAKE A LITTLE BURNINATE LOVE"

"COMMENCE TO BURNINATE TONIGHT...BURNINATE TONIGHT"

Posted by: redrhino at March 19, 2003 12:23 AM

I'm now addicted to Homestar Runner because of you. Thanks!

Oh, before I return to meta-lurk, you should check out today's Kung Fool! comic. ;)

Posted by: Dawn at March 19, 2003 04:56 AM

Yet more evidence that "child stardom" arrests development. Here we have Wil Wheaton, a man about the same age as myself, who seems to have nothing better to do than to play video games all day. Why don't you grow up and live in the real world like the rest of us?

That said, I've only been able to get to a "secret money screen" off of level 7. Is that the only level that has it, or have others seen it elsewhere? I FINALLY got past level 11 today...

"THE TABLES HAVE TURNED!"

;-)

This HomeStarRunner stuff reminds me of early Cartoon Planet/SG:CTC. Pretty good.

Posted by: Dan G at March 19, 2003 09:21 AM

Well, when you get tired burninating villages, try this one:

http://www.input-entertainment.de/laser/laser.html
(requires flash)

It's been keeping me away from writing pay copy off and on for days now! Stuck on level 19!!!

Posted by: Spacewriter at March 19, 2003 09:33 AM

One other things...what would be cool is if you could use the space bar to bonk the knights on the head when you are burninating. Doesn't have to kill them, just knock them on their ass for a sec. What good is a big muscular arm if you can't use it?

Posted by: Dan G at March 19, 2003 10:24 AM

yeah, there is another secret money screen. I'm not sure which level it's on, 13, 14? There may be others beyond that, but I was so busy trying to keep away from the mad archers by the time I got to level 24 that I never checked.

I have however been (mostly) Trogdor free all day. Admitting it is the first step (it's the other 11 that kick your butt).

Posted by: iyyak at March 19, 2003 11:34 AM

How did such a simple game like that become so addicting?!?! I can't seem to get back to work!

Posted by: Parker at March 19, 2003 12:13 PM

you're more than a bit late on this, wesley...

Posted by: johnny duophone at March 19, 2003 12:43 PM

ya know...this game is actually kind of challenging when you're nursing at the keyboard
I love setting peasant heads on fire...MUCH FUN!!

Wil c'mon u gota make ur site more interesting!!! :)

Posted by: Maureen at March 19, 2003 06:54 PM

I'm sure my brother will get a kick out of this. he made me watch his downloads of Strongbad email Then a friend called me on the phone and I heard strongbad in the background. That's really getting around now. Funny as hell though. I love the "Oh I must respond to this this is.. DELETED!"

Posted by: Su at March 20, 2003 06:09 AM

I have realised that God put me on this earth for one thing, and that that one thing is to play Trogdor. I have also realised that Satan is out to thwart me through his vicars AOL and Microsoft.

I was playing and doing really well, all the way to level 35-I haven't played that many times, under a dozen, it's just my Godly mission to do, so I'm good at it-and Internet Explorer closed. I had two lives left too.

But I was resilient and a few hours later played again, and this time made it to level 33 with 6 lives before accidentally pressing the back button on my microsoft mouse, thus getting rid of it.

Satan's best strike, though, came when I was on LEVEL 65 with 9 LIVES and an AIM pops up. I die instantly, of course, but that would've been ok, had I not been so fumbled the mouse that I ended up pressing that back button again.

It was prolly just as well, though, I'd been playing for an hour or so. Sigh. I think I'm going to try again, though, carefully turning off AIM and removing my mouse first. Vive le Trogdor!
