[edit] Battletoads hack.

First of all, look at the "cite" (which is first-person and doesn't qualify in the first place) in context. "shut your whore ass mouth and take my word for it" sounds far more like humor than a reliable source. Also, the Battletoads engine used large sprites (this game uses small ones), 3-d movement (IWBTG uses 2d), and a damage meter (ITBTG uses 1-hit kills). Also also, if it were a hack of an NES game, it would run on NES hardware. It doesn't. And finally, there is this post on the IWBTG forums, where he explains how he made the game in response to someone asking if it was a Battletoads hack. That said, the answer "It's a Battletoads hack" probably belongs someplace in the article, but not stated as fact.--UsaSatsui (talk) 14:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

There we go, a forum post. Congratulations, you managed to disprove it with fact. Try doing that first next time. --Ifrit (talk) 04:23, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
No need to be rude about it. Truth be told, I thought it was pretty obvious that the answer wasn't a serious one...--UsaSatsui (talk) 07:04, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Homestar Runner Reference?

Isn't the title and plot just a big reference to the Stinkoman Strong Bad Email? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.116.156 (talk) 15:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

  • No. According to the FAQ, he came up with the title before seeing the SBEmail. --UsaSatsui (talk) 17:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
