I was talking with a coworker today, and we started talking about what was the oldest browser we could post on Blogger with. Somehow out of this line of conversation I found the inspiration to do an old-fashioned text adventure game style post. I just kinda ran with the idea, and somehow came up with the below. Hope it makes for a good read!
You can find the rest of it after the break.
Welcome to The Unwind Text Adventure Game! You find yourself in a room with a computer.
] Look around room.
The room is dimly lit, with electronics and clothes strewn about the floor. You are alone, staring intently at a blank computer screen.
] Talk to nearby person.
There is no one in the room.
] Good, watch porn.
This is a text adventure.
] Fine, blog.
What would you like to blog about?
] Blog about ideals.
You've already attempted to watch porn this game. Your ideals are severely compromised.
] Shut up.
Unknown command.
] Blog about nonsense.
You begin to blog about nonsense, but your character suffers from writer's block. Please remove writer's block from your character before continuing.
] Procrastinate.
How would you like to procrastinate?
] Watch porn.
Seriously, stop it.
] Fine, watch television.
It's 3 AM, and Ron Pompeil is hawking his latest merchandise, the Showtime Rotisserie and Solid Flavor Injector.
] Determine comedic value of products.
The Showtime Rotisserie can be set and forgotten, but the Solid Flavor Injector is both hysterical and disturbing.
] Remember solid flavor injector.
You make a conscious effort to remember the solid flavor injector.
] That's what she said.
Again, you are alone in the room.
] Watch p-
Don't even say it.
] Fine, blog about nonsense.
You are still suffering from writer's block. You cannot blog until you remove writer's block.
] Blog about Solid Flavor Injector.
You come up with a hilarious, but off-color, joke involving the Solid Flavor Injector, a couch and the corpse of Ralph Macchio. It makes for a great opening paragraph.
] Wait, Ralph Macchio's dead?
His career is, yes.
] Google Ralph Macchio.
Unknown command.
] Search internet for Ralph Macchio.
Ralph Macchio isn't currently in the internet.
] Facepalm.
Unknown command.
] Change channel on television.
You see a rerun of The Hills. In this episode, Whitney tells Lauren she'll be leaving for New York tomorrow. It's sudden, but Whitney looks excited, whilst Lauren looks a bit shocked. Then Whitney asks about Doug -
] OH GOD, TURN OFF THE TELEVISION!
The television is now off.
] Roll a save against my sanity.
18 - Congratulations! Your exposure to The Hills has left your sanity somewhat in tact.
] Define "somewhat".
You don't want to know.
] Yes I do, I just asked.
...said the crazy person.
] Status of current blog post.
Your post consists of an opening paragraph with the hilarious, but off-color, joke about the Solid Flavor Injector, a couch and the corpse of Ralph Macchio.
] Screw it! Copy and paste the introduction paragraph 12 times.
Your blog post now consists 12 identical paragraphs with the hilarious, but off-color, joke about the Solid Flavor Injector, a couch and the corpse of Ralph Macchio.
] Add random YouTube clip, submit post and go to sleep.
Congratulations! You've successfully completed The Unwind Text Adventure game!
