''We still use computers... to make video games!''

[[The Brothers Chaps]]' office space in [[Georgia]] has frequent appearances in [[Interviews and Public Appearances|behind-the-scenes interviews]]. This space is where writing, animating, and sound recording is done for [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]].

== The Current Office ==

The current office was first since in [[Vox Interview - 6 Oct 2015|a 2015 ''Vox'' interview]], introduced as primarily the space for working on ''[[Two More Eggs]]'' as Homestar Runner was still largely on hiatus. [[Screenland - 24 Apr 2017|A 2017 ''SCREENLAND'' episode]] offers the clearest, most in-depth view of the office space to date.

Much like the previous office, it is most often seen in behind-the-scenes footage or as a backdrop for [[Puppet Stuff]]. It can also be seen in [[@StrongBadActual]] tweets.

The space is [[Open plan|one large room]], divided into multiple areas including:

* A desk with a laptop
* A standing desk near a whiteboard
* Videlectrix office and gaming area with a couch
* Shelved storage nook behind a curtain
* Recording area - a similar nook with soundproofing applied to the walls. A microphone and several keyboards are set up.

== The Former Office ==

The first workspace The Brothers Chaps rented was a multi-room office space in the basement of "a depressing [[strip mall]]" in Decatur, GA. [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007|Descriptions of neighboring businesses]] imply that it may have been in the Suburban Plaza shopping center. regularly featured footage of this space.

They began using the space [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|around early 2004]]. The office was last seen in 2008, in [[Workin' on the Game]]; it is not known when TBC moved out of this office.

=== Main Office ===

The Brothers' main office was the room where, presumably, most of the animation and graphics work for Homestar Runner was done. Its walls were painted just like the [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]], and it contained of 2 or 3 Dell laptops on a desk, a TV, and a water cooler just beside the entrance door. The desk also has a Mac, likely a [[Power Mac G4]] or [[Power Mac G5|G5]], on which the work for DVDs was done. It had a [[Apple Cinema Display|Cinema Display]].

=== The Sound Room ===

The sound room is where the vocals, music and other audio for the website were produced. The walls were covered with acoustic insulation, and a large corkboard with a collage of cut-out pictures of [[Heavy Metal|heavy metal]] musicians hung on the wall. Recording was done on several keyboards and a microphone, and a [[Dell Dimension]] (either a 2300C or 2400C) PC with A215 speakers and a [[They Might Be Giants]] mousepad. A window in the room looked out to [[Office of The Brothers Chaps|another part]] of their office.

=== Videlectrix Office ===

This room was used as a background for several skits and photos featuring the [[Videlectrix Guys]]. The blue walls hd the Videlectrix logo printed above the window that led to the [[Office of The Brothers Chaps|sound room]]. Framed cover artworks of their video games, including as [[StrongBadZone]] and [[Thy Dungeonman]] hung on the wall. An old [[Apple IIe]] computer sat at the a wooden table; real audio from this computer was occasionally captured [[Peasant's Quest Preview|for videos]].

=== Green Screen Room ===

It is unclear if this room was a separate space or simply a section of another room.

The wall was painted a [[chroma key]] green color. To facilitate filming, a tripod, props, and lighting fixtures were kept nearby. Some Puppet Stuff was also filmed within this room. An original [[iMac G5]] was occasionally seen in this room, though never while running; the puppet version of [[Tangerine Dreams]], an orange [[iMac G3|slot-loading iMac G3]], was seen as well.

=== Storage Room ===

A storage room, used to hold various supplies and props, as well as a microwave and mini-fridge, was also present in the office. This room was only seen in [[Eric Conveys An Emotion: The Interview]].
