''Roomisode, too?''

'''Dangeresque Roomisode 2: The Intersection of Doom & Boom''' is the direct sequel to [[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]], taking place immediately after its ending scene. Unlike its standalone prequel, Roomisode 2 was only released as part of the [[Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate]] game bundle.

Like the first game, it is structured as a [[Videlectrix]] [[graphic adventure game]] in the style of those produced by [[LucasArts]] and [[Sierra|Sierra Entertainment]]. The player takes control of both [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] and [[Renaldo]], attempting to disarm a bomb in the [[Gremlin|Dangecaresque]]. Screenshots and other production information have been shared to the [[@StrongBadActual|@StrongBadActual Twitter]] and [[@strongbadactual (Instagram)|Instagram]] pages. Prior to its release, [[Strong Bad]] jokingly described the game as more of an "intersectionisode" than a "roomisode".

'''Cast (in order of appearance):'''

* [[Strong Bad]] as [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]]
* [[Coach Z]] as [[Renaldo]]
* Silhouetted figure that resembles [[Homeschool Winner]]
* Racoonolith
* Unnamed Motorist
* [[Strong Sad]] as [[The Stunt Double]] and an Electrician

== Gameplay ==

''See [[Dangeresque Roomisode 2: The Intersection of Doom & Boom Responses]]''

''The Intersection of Doom & Boom'' is a [[Adventure game|point-and-click adventure game]]. The player controls Dangeresque in the street intersection and Renaldo inside the Dangecaresque, and can interact with people and items by choosing to look at, manipulate, or talk to them. Dangeresque and Renaldo narrate the actions they take, for [[Fourth Wall Breaks|the benefit of the player]]. Puzzles frequently require completing several steps in sequence or combining multiple items.

''"Beardo subterranean Strong Sad", an earlier iteration of his electrician role''

[[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]] was released on December 1, 2008. The numbered title of "Roomisode 1" indicated potential for sequels; the possibility of a second roomisode was mentioned in [[videlectrix.com|an April 24, 2009 update to the Videlectrix website]]. Soon after, [[homestarrunner.com]] went on an extended [[Hiatuses|hiatus]]; no further updates would be posted to the Videlectrix site.

On October 5, 2017, [[Strong Bad]] posted [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2017|an animated scene]] from Roomisode 2 to [[@StrongBadActual|Twitter]]; the post was discussing Roomisode 1 and did not acknowledge this scene was from a different game. On September 23, 2018, in the wake of [[Telltale Games]]' closure, Strong Bad joined former Telltale employees in reminiscing about working on ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]''. As the conversation turned to [https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/telltale-and-videlectrix Videlectrix's feud with Telltale] that had led to the release of Roomisode 1, a potential sequel was again mentioned. Strong Bad replied with [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2018|a brief description]] of the game, including the same animation from earlier. Later that day, he posted a [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2018|Twitter thread]] revealing more information about the game, including responses and graphics — Renaldo's presence as a secondary playable character was shared, as well as an underground scene featuring a bearded [[Strong Sad]]; the game's goal of defusing a bomb inside the Dangecaresque was also revealed. At this point, the game was still being referred to in past tense as a "never-finished" project.

In 2023, the game was revisited again on social media — though now referred to as actively "upcoming". Posts were made using the [https://twitter.com/hashtag/screenshotsaturday #screenshotsaturday] hashtag common among indie game developers, though as they were posted on differing days of the week many used humorous tags like "#ScreenshotMondurday" or "#ScreenshotThursdurday". Rather than a standalone release, the game was officially announced to be part of ''[[Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate]]:'' a collection that also included an expanded [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2021|port of the first game to modern formats]] as well as [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2023|an additional third game]].
