Like Telltale's Sam & Max games, the episodic Strong Bad series was originally delivered online via digital distribution. The new Collector's DVD is the equivalent of a TV series' "box set," complete with region-free video extras for the diehard Strong Bad fan.

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People features Strong Bad-the loudmouthed, wrestling-masked star of the ongoing Strong Bad Emails shorts at Homestarrunner.com-in a series of five games akin to interactive cartoons. The data portion of this hybrid DVD contains all five episodes playable on PC, as well as an MP3 soundtrack sampler and desktop wallpapers. The video portion includes game trailers, the complete "Behind the Bad" documentary series showing how Strong Bad himself collaborated with Telltale on the game, footage from Telltale's "Make a Scene with Strong Bad" panel at last year's Penny Arcade Expo, cartoon shorts, and a barrage of hidden surprises.
