*** As part of their renewal, Strong Bad has opened an [[https://twitter.com/StrongBadActual/ official account]] on Twitter. Soon after "Fish Eye Lens" was released, he posted [[https://twitter.com/StrongBadActual/status/519568908223655937 this]]. Return of [[StrongBadEmail sbemail]], anyone?

** After the lengthiest hiatus they've ever had (caused by Mike and Missy having a child and the Chaps themselves pursuing [[GravityFalls fruitful careers]] [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty in animation]]), Homestar Runner suddenly updated on April Fools Day 2014, with [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/aprilfools2014.html a cartoon mocking the site's inactivity.]] This alone was enough to warrant several news articles lauding the apparent comeback of the site, but the future was still uncertain. Co-creator Matt Chapman stated in an interview a couple months later that this was a test to see how a renewal would be received, and the result was "more ... than we ever even imagined." He also expressed hope that they would start making more material in the fall, and - sure enough - [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/fisheyelens.html the first official update in over four years]] was released on October 3.

** So season 10 is over but half the episode is left... O.K. what is this... a new series by MontyOum? 30 seconds later the fandom rejoiced so hard that the term "[[UpToEleven shit fit]]" doesn't even begin to describe it. ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' probably caused more waves then the ArtShift in season 8 did.
