Exactly. And they'd drag it out forever, too.Kommander wrote:All too often instead of being Choose Your Own Adventure it's was Choose Your Own Improbable Yet Stupid Deaths.
Ripped from the pages of some nonsense title like Junior High Plane Crash Survivors in Space Jurassic Park:
"A man is pointing a gun at you. You are unarmed. What will you do?"
To try to run away and escape into the jungle, turn to page 72.
To try and fight the man for the gun, turn to page 43.
To surrender, turn to page 101.
To gape and fill your pants with Taco Bell, continue reading on the next page."
Try to escape? You survive for two pages before an enemy helicopter finds you and shoots you at you, causing you to slip, fall down a cliff, and get "bitten by a scorpion."
Fight him? You beat him, but accidentally shoot your balls off in the tussle. All subsequent outcomes, despite four different possible endings depending on your choices from there on out all revolve around you bleeding to death.
If you surrender, you are imprisoned and executed.
If you shit yourself, you slip on your crap, causing you to launch a perfect kick to the chin of the bad guy. You pick up his gun and start a rebellion on the island, training your followers in the transcendent art of poop-based combat.
