This email show features Xing Town checking his email on the Xnacki X86 (the Xeriouxly Forxe version of the Snacky 186; later replaced with the Znack-3 Z2086 Year 4000 Xnacki).

The Broternal Order Of Different Helmets (often abbreviated as "BODH") is a group of users started by Branderson on June 30th, 2016. It is based on the Broternal Order of Different Helmets from the toon Ever and More!. There are currently five members; Supreme Overlord Branderson, Treasurer Gfdgsgxgzgdrc, Royal Secretarian SRMX12, Slashfic Matchmaker E, and Chief Editor RasterOfMandomness, although it is always open to new users. The members often have meetings and discussions on the forum and create transcripts using their own characters. They also participate in certain activities, and the supreme overlord will occasionally call forth members to complete various tasks. A full-length animated cartoon, Helmet Quest, is in production, as well as a comic series. (more...)

Halloween Oh '15 is a series of toons created for Halloween 2015 by Raster0fMandomness87 on March 24, 2015, before the Halloween 2015 toon was released. In the words of its creator, it is a three-part story done in the style of a typical sequence of events leading up to a Halloween toon. It features transcripts for the First Annual Halloween Awards Show (revealing who won the best costume in Homestarloween Party), a Halloween Teaser (2015 Teaser), and an unfinished Halloween toon (Have Reality-Altering Remote Control, Will Travel). The Halloween Awards Show reveals that the winner of Homestarloween Party was Homsar (absent in the actual toon) as Frank Zappa. The teaser is complete with an Easter egg that occurs after waiting a few seconds, referencing the previous Halloween toon (Homestar "mowdowing" the anouncment, similar to I Killed Pom Pom), Strong Bad in an outrageous costume (in this case, Darth Vader) and hidden text found by using a Flash decompiler ("hahaha...no"). The unfinished Halloween toon seems to be about a reality-altering remote control, hence the name, and may also have something to do with the rejected characters. It also has costume pages for both the Halloween toon and the other shorts. (more...)
