In honor of Homestuck’s eighth birthday, let’s try to explore what the average page of the story was like.
As Hussie described on his Formspring when inventing the thirteen year break, there’s a lot of variation. “Most MSPA updates are a single panel, with some accompanying text. But […] There are several hours of animated Flash footage mixed in with the updates. There are several more hours of interactive gameplay. […] Many updates are accompanied by several pages of dialogue.”
When a population contains outliers, the median can sometimes be a better average to consider than the mean. I’ll take care to distinguish those concepts here, otherwise I’d have to hand in my stats badge.
In fact what I found was that the nature of the average page progressed over the course of the story. (”TYPICAL CASE OF QUADRANT VACILLATION”, right?) So I have split out most of my calculations across its four different “Parts”.
This post is basically about where those recent credits pages fit into the story according to my stats.
Does anyone have any way to help make this happen?
@andrewhussie, please upload the original [S] Collide SWF(s) somewhere? Doesn’t matter if playback is dodgy - just for assets and archival.

Update: heavenlyevan points out this implies it may have been released straight to video, as it were - i.e. no SWF.

I get this question every so often, so thought I’d answer it in full and in public.
According to my ad hoc rules, the Epipause is thirteen days old today, and it has just entered the list of ten longest MS Paint Adventures hiatuses.
Although web TV is a progressively happier video streamy wonderland, it hides a lot of horrible OS/browser/container/codec incompatibility behind its corporate servers. As someone compiling an offline archive in the form of a static local copy of the website that you open up in your browser, I had trouble with the final YouTubes.
