Home*Runner "Ballad of The Sneak" and "Pop: Tire" Talkback

Population: Tire

"Population: Tire" it's a fun game at times, but not as good as Trogdor. An ok game for a slow day.

The Ballad of The Sneak

Now this is the stuff I love. The Chaps make the best music videos. The tune, lyrics, and flash is great. I can't stop playing it.

The Sneak smilie made by me ---->

The Sneak video was really cute - I liked it

Who put a Bengal Tiger in the Kaiser's latrine?

the sneak video is very cool as well.

DaVinci's Notebook!

The Sneak thing was pretty cool. I generally like the 1930s stuff that they do. I like the game, as I like general "keep item in air" games. My high score was 501.

I forgot to check for eggs...anything notable?

[Yuss]

No eggs in either of them, surprisingly.

Have there been eggs outside of SB emails? Hmmm, I think there might have been but they seem to be mostly in emails now.

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

Well, I couldn't get the game to load (can't load Trogdor either...stupid computer). As for The Sneak video, that was great! You can tell they really put a good amount of work into that. Very fun. Can't get enough of those mustaches.

I actually always liked the sneak a lot more than the cheat...I just like rats, possums and other rat/possum-like animals! All the old-timey talk (dapper, moxy, hooch, jackinape...) in the ballad was HILARIOUS. For some reason I positively bust a gut at the random shouting of "hum dinger! 28 skidoo!", the bit about the "flying machine" and "Who did the hulley-gulley on the Panama canal?" Catchy as hell, too.

Population: Tire has me hooked!
And I love that title -- very Strongbad-esque. I also love the completely inappropriate action-hero storyline. Reminds me of the cover art of some games from the '80s (like the Lode Runner cover that showed a big muscular guy fighting skeletons, or the strange, Americanized Bomberman cover art).

"The Sneak" is the best song I've heard in a while! Can't wait for them to release the MP3....

The game was a bit confusing at first, but was still a nice diversion. I made it into the 260s.
