Maybe I should do something in a program besides Paint some time. ...Nah.

And now for something completely different!

31960

31961

31962
Our hero, Zero Worm, awakens with a hell of a start -- this, in itself, is no longer your average occurrence. A bone somewhere in his being is giving him a dull ache he has not felt in years. It's a hero's intuition. He knows: Someone is up to something. Something, someone, evil. Someone he knows.

Zero's Room
31963
Zero's modest bedroom, the only interesting contents of which are his bed and his oddly lopsided-looking computer, sitting on a diseased-looking desk. The only normal exit is to downstairs. Despite the violence with which he awoke, he isn't completely with it just yet. Always a bit of a slow riser. The bed is just so warm and comfy, dammit. Agh. Stupid unknown evildoer.

Inventory
31964

---------------------------------------

This is, of course, a Choose Your Own Adventure. What Zero does next is up to you guys! Fire off your suggestions on what you think our hero should be doing. If it makes any sort of sense at all, it'll probably happen, but don't be offended if I don't go with your idea, especially if it's something like "Eat yourself! XD"

I'm not sure if that'll be the entire inventory space or not. I could always add a second page if we manage to overshoot the first, but I don't want to make that image any larger.
Edit: I've decided that one image of inventory space will have to do.

Alright, here's hoping the idea is self-explanatory enough. Let's go! The future of... something... is something!

Hack the computer.



To pieces.


You never know what strange evils are lurking in hard drives...

Have him have a conversation with Shadoworm.

Perhaps a nice bowl of Zer-o's?

I wonder what's outside that window. Have a look.

Poke yourself ;)

Take your helmet off and comb your hair! :D

YES I SAID HAIR

I was about to start one of those things too, actually. (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/)

Glad to see someone that can draw properly did instead.

And as a tribute to that link above:

"Jump back into bed, and use IMAGINATION"

I DEMAND IT ALL! I demand that you comb your hair, destroy your computer with your Z-saber, poke yourself, look out the window and then settle down for a nice bowl of zer-o's.

any combination of these actions is also acceptable.

in fact. if you can do them all at one time that'd be even MORE acceptable.

I DEMAND IT ALL! I demand that you comb your hair, destroy your computer with your Z-saber, poke yourself, look out the window and then settle down for a nice bowl of zer-o's.Before going back to bed, exhausted after a long and full day.

Go outside, take the newspaper on the front door, go back inside and go read on the bathroom, searching for info about something or someone evil
If that don't work, you can always try to eat yourself

Must play this like an Infocom game...

There's come sort of camera on it. Or a phone. The Computer is here.

AGRRRGH


Look at that thing on the desk.

Drink some coffee, read the newspaper and call the Hardly boys for clues.

Look ahead a few pages for a panel explaining what to do.
Of course, it'll only work once in the archives.

Open the window!

Leap out of window!

Best check your Z-Saber works. God knows you havn't touched the damn thing in years.
Make sure it can still cut through things - you're diseased desk would be a good test candidate.

I suggest you do this:
http://forum.team17.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=30994&stc=1&d=1196768812

I mean, that is what you're supposed to do every afternoon after you wake up. ;) :p

Lol, holds one in his mouth.

Lol, holds one in his mouth.Only trouble is, it's hard to say "LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!" while doing that.

It scares me that I remember what you're referencing.

It scares me that I remember what you're referencing.really? I'm HAPPY I know the reference :p it's sort of a staple in comedy around here.

> Get ye flask

Hack the computer.

31965

31966
Zero pauses to wonder what the hell possessed him to suddenly eviscerate his own machine. He is a little out of it today, but that's a little much even for him. He wonders if this mystery villain he's psychically sensing has some kind of weirdo mind control over him already.

I wonder what's outside that window. Have a look.

31967
The view from the second story is pretty much the same as it is every afternoon. The same old boring, pale bluish gray plain, stretching off into mysterious infinity. The same colors as inside his own room. It's a good thing they're so easy on the eyes, because they're everywhere. On that note, he's been meaning to redecorate, but he's a bit busy now.

Poke yourself

31968
Our hero decides to poke himself to make sure he's actually awake, and not reliving a previous adventure in a different location. As he prepares to do so, however, the fear of death grips him. It's like he can feel the grim reaper breathing on the back of his neck, drawing closer as does his finger. He decides that the yield of poking himself couldn't possibly be worth the risk.

Take your helmet off and comb your hair!
I was at least going to do a joke about this one, but it turned out not to be very funny, and kind of a waste of effort and space, so... Plus, we all knew that wasn't going anywhere. :p

Look at that thing on the desk.
(Thanks for putting this in bold font, actually; made it much easier to spot for the quote. -Zero)

31969
A little rattled by his near-death experience, Zero retrieves the item he had left on his desk. Can't leave home without this.

Pick up the pillow and blanket. You never know when they might come in handy.

He was actually in the middle of part 2 of the update including refreshed inventory but I think his internet just conked out.

Better than Internet, the power in half the town just went out thanks to a susploded transformer, but the outage was only a couple of hours, so probably no significant harm done. The rest of that update should be forthcoming.

Find a towel. Pick it up and carry it about ones person at all times. Since you never know when you might need it, and they are after all massively useful, especially should you ever encounter the ravenous bugblatter beast of traal. And, after all, Zero is a pretty hoopy frood so he must know where his towel is at all times :p

Cut a hole in the floor to get downstairs becuase everyone knows stairs are so last decade.

31973
Antonio added to Inventory.

Open the window!

31974
Opened. It's a little chilly out.

Leap out of window!

31975
Why, sure! What could go wrong?

31976

Behind Zero's House
31978
Aside from a small crater recently generated by some wack job who jumped out his own bedroom window on a whim, there is basically nothing at all interesting here. It's all straight edges, and only a few colors. There is a staircase which leads into the house's basement, and, of course, a couple more windows, but aside from that, the only place to go is around to the front of the house.

Listen to Antonio, and humourously wiggle tail in the air to the beats.

Go to basement.
Please....?

Listen to Antonio, and humourously wiggle tail in the air to the beats.

31979
Zero somehow manages to hook up the special headphones designed to interface with his helmet, and shuffles the library. Crazy Loop (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=8qTFqnDpuvE) comes up. Weird, weird song, but somehow so catchy. One can't help but move his compound-fractured tail.

> Get ye flask

31980
Ye cannot get ye flask... Because ye already has ye flask! lMFAO SO FUnNY

31981
Wait a minute. I already have ye flask? Why? I never got ye flask. I don't even drink.

31982
Ye Flask, apparently, already part of Inventory.

Alright, more tomorrow.

realize you're being controlled my mongs and walk down the stairs into the basement :p

Our hero decides to poke himself to make sure he's actually awake, and not reliving a previous adventure in a different location. As he prepares to do so, however, the fear of death grips him.

> Realize that if you had the flask, it was because you subconsciously wanted to drink. And therefore, drink the whole flask at once.

See, if you'd used my advice and taken the bedding, that fall would have hurt less ;)

... ah. Oh well.

Go to the nearest worm.

(could make it more interesting?)

go ito the basement, never know what could be there.

Encounter a Mario.

Engrave "Elbereth" in the ground with your Z-Saber

31984

31985
Thinking ahead, Zero covers his trail by engraving the magic word in the ground in front of his stairway, just in case there's a jabberwock or a leocrotta on his tail or something. Or a mind flayer. ...Yeah, that's it, a mind flayer. Could be that. This won't be fading away in a few turns, either. He briefly wonders if he should have engraved it the other way around, but decides that the monsters probably don't have to actually read it.

Drink from ye flask, and/or use ye flask to ruin ye iPod

31986
Whether this subtracts from the mystery or compounds it is up to you, but ye flask is empty.

Go to basement

Zero's Basement
31987
Zero enters his own basement and is slightly alarmed to find it done in a very robotic-looking way with a straight line tool, instead of the weird squiggles composing his desk and mangled computer. That aside... The musty smell in here is a delightful one. This room is full of memories of days long gone by, hallmarked by a very poor likeness of himself done in a huge slab of some cheap stone, crudely, as if the instruments of choice were a chainsaw and a combat knife. Crates are scattered with abandon, one of them open. There is one staircase which he used to get in here; the other exit, by some weird quirk of architecture or lack thereof, is a ladder.

Well clearly the first thing you should do is to get the blue gem from the statue. I've played these games and that is never a bad idea.

>Look at desk.
>Climb the ladder.
Meh, I can't think of anything else right now.

Is that first aid kit an instant use one, or can we store it in our inventory?
If the latter, Pick up the first-aid kit.

>Look at desk.
>Climb the ladder.
Meh, I can't think of anything else right now.

Hey, well, it's a long shot but how about looking in all the crates

After doing what Andrew said, move statue 5 pixels (or 5 units of whatever measurement exists in Zero's world) to the right because the feng shui of the room is all wrong at the moment.

Hey, well, it's a long shot but how about looking in all the crates

Oh yes, that too. :p

Pick up pencil and wrapped piece of paper. Might be useful later.

Get the health box!

Get Paper, Read Paper. Get Gem, USE MAGICAL BLUE GEM INTO HELMAT TO MAEK SUPAR ZAEEEOROOOO!

Open all the boxes to find body parts of several worms
Let you "crazy scientist" personality take over and use the parts to build a new helper. Put Antonio's circuits on his brain and then Antonio will become a zombie-worm who can make company to you, all the time, and each one of you can have a BFF ring
Sounds lovely :o

> Find out where table lamp outlet lead takes you to

or

> Hide in open crate until a buldozer tries to knock house down

or

> Slice health crate in four, and pick up quarters, for bitesize chunks when you've had a tiny scratch

or

> Have whole health crate now, because you've just bloody fallen out of a window, and the statue worm is going to come to life after you remove its precious blue gemstone

Pick up the pencil and crumpled piece of paper. They're separate models than the table, and nobody would put such miniscule detail into such small items unless they were items you're supposed to pick up at some point.

Oh, and don't forget that every basement has secret rooms in it. Poke your sword on a wall and if it makes a hollow noise, use a bomb on it.

Hey, well, it's a long shot but how about looking in all the crates
What he said. Crates always contain nothing but ammo.

Well clearly the first thing you should do is to get the blue gem from the statue. I've played these games and that is never a bad idea.
No no no, you should do that last in a room. More often than not, it causes a mob of bad guys to suddenly come out, or at the very least, a room-changing trap.

Pick up the piece of paper and make a paper plane. Pocket the paper plane.

> Get ye flask

Go back to his room and use the computer to go on homestarunner.com.

I endorse the following:

> Search the floor for anything he missed

> go up the ladder

No no no, you should do that last in a room. More often than not, it causes a mob of bad guys to suddenly come out, or at the very least, a room-changing trap.

Not usually when it's your own basement, though.

Not usually when it's your own basement, though.

And your own statue, too.

Howsabout:

>Hold Z Saber up to the statue untill it melts into a molten fluid

>Collect said molten fluid into Ye Flask

>Extent arm to collect the Blue Gem, once it conviniently falls from the statue (because remember, the Gem is probobly firmly wedged into the Statue's skull)

If you do that then there's no danger of any nasty statues to visiously clobber you when you go to

>Open the crates

FEED THE GOLDFISH! HOW COULD YOU FORGET!?! Oh poor Goldie!

Is that first aid kit an instant use one, or can we store it in our inventory?

32002
The medkit, like all those in the Worms universe, is instantly and completely used when it is touched. Having recently fallen out his bedroom window and landed on his whole world, Zero decides to use it now. He feels better, and also becomes aware of an actual health gauge which one might use to tell for certain how far he is from dead.

Well clearly the first thing you should do is to get the blue gem from the statue.

32003
Though he's not completely sure why, our hero feels compelled to wrest the big facsimile of his helmet's gem from the statue. It's pretty stubborn, but it shouldn't be too hard to get...

32004
It bursts from the socket with a resounding sound effect of your choosing. On his way down, Zero spots an additional item which, for some reason not even he remembers, was stashed behind the gem in the socket. In a scene not pictured here, he decides to collect it and bring it with him, even though it does make him feel just slightly silly.

32005
Crude Blue Gem and Ceramic Ocarina added to Inventory.

More to go on this update, up to and including leaving the basement, but I need to get to bed now. Sorry for the sporadic updates here, but the good news is, I have actually come up with a good few long-term ideas, so hopefully this is going somewhere.

play an awful song on the oricana to scare off the evil.(in other words-us)

Search those crates. There may be an Infinity Plus One Sword.
Or, you know, potato chips.

or a Sword of +1 Potato Chips (crisps)! :cool:

>Think with determination to grow hair, or a handsome moustache if it fails.

Play this tune on the Ocarina:

"^ > <, ^ > <"
Because everyone knows that's Zelda's tune on the N64 version.

Play this tune on the Ocarina:

That blue gem is obviously some sort of pyramid. Use the blue pyramid gem's powers to conjure the Pyramid God, ask for his wise advices and what does he think about all the other ideas given so far, then and only then, you can consider of doing any of them, with the Pyramid God's blessing

He still hasn't played the WormSong on the ocarina.

32070

Suffering a slight lapse in ocarina-playing prowess, you toot out what can only be described as an otherworldly cacophony. So much for the Wormsong, but you probably warded off something with that racket.

32071

You begin to regret your meddlings in the witchcraft of melody as all the colour suddenly drains from your world to accomodate our present artist's style.
You have also gained FINGERS.

32072

Faced with the consequences of having manipulated your reality to an even more drab, blank pallette, you do what any reasonable individual would under the present circumstances.

32073

You completely lose your **** and dash around madly.

Hahahaha, awesome.

32074
...directly into a wall. Your coordination is seriously off today.

32075

32076

You come to in an unfamiliar place. You see before you a somewhat crestfallen spirit, whom you can only deduce is the Ghost of Birthday Presents.

32077

At least, that's what his nametag would appear to indicate. It looks like there may have been something else on it originally.

32078

There is also a PIKKUL here.

>Eat Pikkul.

32079

Saying nothing, the spirit hands you a strangely corporeal MYSTERY BOX. That's kind of what he does, after all.

32080

The PIKKUL approaches, also hopeful for a handout. However, that appears to have been the last MYSTERY BOX the spirit had on him.

32081

The PIKKUL commences initiation of a dimensional cascade reaction.

32082

Before you know what happened, you find yourself back in (coloured!) reality, with just a slight bump on your noggin. On top of the one that was there before.
You get the feeling that something has changed, though you can't quite put your finger on it. (Perhaps because you have again lost use of FINGERS.)

32083

In a convenient breaking of physics and the mathematical logic of reality as we know it, the MYSTERY BOX remains in your possession.

Mystery Box
>Link up with another Gameboy to use it!

Whoo! I laughed myself hoarse over here. Brilliant stuff.

Don't give completely up on the thread, I guess, folks. My creativity comes and goes in spasms, and maybe I'll feel a little more inspired now that there's another CYOA around, strange as that might sound.

>gaze into the eyes of the sexiest face known to worm kind.
32090
Before proceeding with anything else, Zero pauses to oogle the statue. It looks a little... different to him today, but it's a hell of a piece of work. He doesn't remember sculpting anything so... almost unbearably sexy. He's not the type to consider swinging the other way, as it were, but if he were going to, he'd totally swing for that.

Errmm... open the box?!
32091
The only sensible thing to do is immediately open this gift which seems to have simply sprung from his own imagination! ...A little like the flask, in fact, only with more hallucinating. However, he quickly finds that what appears to be a perfectly innocuous little red ribbon proves to be of otherworldly intricacy. Its complexity is practically infinite to any mind born of our own world. He hasn't a clue where to even start.

move statue 5 pixels (or 5 units of whatever measurement exists in Zero's world) to the right because the feng shui of the room is all wrong at the moment.
32092
Having a nagging inkling that the statue holds more secrets -- come on, a face that beautiful has to be hiding something -- Zero attempts to move it. The spree of total futility he's been experiencing so far today, though, remains unbroken, as the thing is simply too heavy for one worm to shove around. Zero is starting to feel strangely inferior. Maybe there's another way.

Suddenly, something comes out of the drawing board. It's like in one of those books where the other creator simply couldn't resist to do stuff.

http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/3403/bdc17st1.png
The badly drawn newcomer seems to have built himself a shield out of a square.
(IGNORE THE INK GAUGE, I'm lazy to edit it out for another image... :p)

Get newcomer to help move the sexy statue.

32093
Zero prepares to cheer himself up with the contents of the weapons crate, but is interrupted. He's a little annoyed with how unstable reality has been as of late. As if his day needed to get any weirder. (As if anybody needed the same thing happening in two threads.) He didn't even draw that thing -- the hell did it come from?!

Get newcomer to help move the sexy statue.
32095
He decides that as long as this kid is going to be skipping across realities like they're separated by jump ropes, he might as well make himself useful in this one. He recruits the little guy to help shove the statue, but it looks like his poorly-drawn little frame doesn't add a lot of brawn to the mix.

> Hug the ugliest prettiest face in worm kind.

give mystery gift to badly drawn worm.

Ugh,you know how annoying it is to jump between threads?

look in the freakin' crates already
32096
Hell with that kid. Guess he isn't hurting anything so long as he isn't touching anything. Zero continues about his business, retrieving the few armaments he left in the nearest crate. They do cheer him up a little.

32097
Shotgun added to Inventory. It is considerately already loaded to its capacity of two shells, and Zero finds four spares.
Three Grenades added to Inventory.

> Blow up the statue.

I think its hiding something!

Sacrifices must be done.

blow up the statue
32103
Surely you jest. Destroying the statue is an awful idea. First of all, why deface a masterpiece? Secondly, to make a long story short, Zero knows as fact that the thing is invincible. This, however, gives him an idea. He opts to expend one of his Grenades.

32104

32105

32106
The force of the blast exerts its will on the statue, repositioning it more towards the center of the room and exposing what appears to be a shallow secret compartment.

examine drawing board / take pencil / paper(s)
32107
Zero scoots over to the drawing board. Many a tale was woven here, that's for sure. On the drawing board is an old comic that he started and never finished.

Pick up the piece of paper and make a paper plane. Pocket the paper plane.
32108
It would, of course, be a shame to waste the paper.

32109
He gathers the pencil and balled-up paper from the floor. The paper is another aborted comic, this one even less favored than the more intact one. This one would make a lousy airplane in its crumpled state, so he leaves it unfolded in case he actually does need to write. Speaking of which, the pencil is a regular old wooden #2 pencil, which is more of a symbol than something Zero would actually use, since he was always a bigger fan of 0.7mm mechanical pencils.

Paper Airplane added to Inventory.
Zero notes with measured dismay that he has already consumed more than half of his inventory capacity. He manages to fit the Pencil and Discarded Comic into the same panel to save a little space, but don't expect too many more favors.

>Get the badly drawn worm to draw a Mac Pro just in case.

>Throw grenade into the shallow, secret compartment, hoping that the force will overturn the statue and possibly shattering it into pieces.

> Admire the vastly improved feng shui of the room thanks to the moving of the statue.
> Add some trailing edge high lift devices to the paper aeroplane, since the CL value is far too low for it to fly any decent distance should you ever need to use it as a weapon.
> With Z-sabre in one hand and shotgun in the other, explore the hole behind the statue.

> explore the new hole under the statue.

>Explore underground compartment, or throw in a grenade to dispose of any monstrous creatures lurking inside.

I've been skipping too many inputs -- I should probably even do some of the really stupid ones if they're simple enough, gotta keep the funny going

DANCE!!

check for hidden doors in walls with saber, bomb if needed

Hitting the walls of his basement with his saber consistently yields the sound of concrete being hit with a beam saber. Some basements are just basements -- but only a few have marvelous statues in them. One hardly need be reminded that the reason for the prominent cracks in this particular surface is a momentary fusion between it and Zero's face.

> hurl the present at the statue as an offering to the gods of sexiness.
32113
Not entirely sure what to make of the present, he decides to offer it politely to his sexy stone friend. The statue doesn't react, and the gift appears undamaged, but it does make a curiously hollow sound on impact, whereas it sure doesn't feel empty... Or does it?

Plug Antonio into the Ocarina

What?

ZEORDANCIN'!
>Poke the statue in the eyes, maybe it'll make something happen. Or try fitting the blue gem on its massive forehead. Or shove your Z-Saber into its ear, or up its nose. Or empty ye flask into its mouth. DO SOMETHING.

EDIT: Or shove the Ocarina into its mouth and hope it plays a tune.

> With Z-sabre in one hand and shotgun in the other, explore the hole behind the statue.

With a weapon in either hand, Zero is ready for anything. Just this once, he kinda wishes he had a 5-o'-clock shadow. The situation seems to call for one.

32116
It's just for drama's sake, though, because the space under the statue is simply a hidden storage compartment, not a chute to the underworld or a mass grave. He recovers a powerful item that he had all but totally forgotten. He's happy to see it, and lucky to have it so early in his adventure.

Minigun added to inventory. By an annoying technicality, its ammo capacity is 80 shells, rather than the 100 one might expect -- and he doesn't have any spares, so he'd better burn wisely.

Err... Well yeah, der, any hillbilly yutz knows that. That's what I was gonna do next, in fact.

Thinking back to the countless paper airplanes he must have constructed over his years, he gingerly adds little flaps to the wings. This is probably completely the wrong thing to do, but he does it anyway. Thinking of it, he also recalls that he should probably attach a paper clip to the nose, but he never has anything like that handy when he needs it.

Nope that's exactly the right thing to do :D Add little flaps (ie fold the back of the wing down) to the back end of the wing that point down ever so slightly - that'll help generate more lift and will also help pitch the nose down, similar to using a paperclip (it has the advantage of not adding weight, unlike the paperclip)

>Explore the ladder

>Get out of the boring basement.
>Try to find Earplugs for Antonio so you can actually use it.
>If found then listen to an epic song while you drink some milk.

>Momentarily consider why you're doing all this stuff here when Evil is quite clearly off somewhere else.

>Store table lamp in inventory.

> Try and open the mystery box with a shotgun

> Explore the crack in the wall, blow it up with a grenade

> Climb up the ladder

> It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum... but you're all out of ass.

>If you don't have bubblegum, play a card game and kick ass, while you're still out of ass.

>Give life to the statue so it can give you some bubblegum/ass

>Give life to the statue so it can give you some ass
This is wrong on so many levels.

Climb the ladder.If you can't,drop a grenade at the ladder to blow your self out it.

This is wrong on so many levels.

Oh my... I'm not sure if I even want to think on those levels, but it's too late. Mentally...scarring...images...

Should I or shouldn't I...the famous quote from mspaintadventures....

RIDE THAT STATUE LIKE A MECHANICAL BULL

OHWHATHAVEIDONE??!

This is wrong on so many levels.so glad I'm not the only one to think this....

> Scribble reminder on back of comic to stab some internet people in the face should you run into them at some point in future.

Oh sorry xD
Totally not intended that way.
Oh well, which ever way you want to take it...

This thread needs a NSFW tag.

I can come here if I want to. I have freedom!

It's been more than three weeks since the latest post before yours...Why bother bumping the thread when, clearly, nobody's interested in it any more?

here's another way of looking at it: the last post in this thread was only four days after zero posted his most recent comic, and nobody else posted because they were waiting for another comic before commenting. now it's possible that zero has given up on this thread, but i'd at least like some closure.

i really like how just because you don't care means that "nobody is interested"

Fine. Here is the fixed version of my post:

Why bother bumping the thread when apparently Zero's no longer interested in it any more?
EDIT: It isn't really that I'm not interested in it; in fact, I would like to see it continue. It just seemed strange that the latest post (before bumping) was three weeks ago. That's why I made my comment.

HEY! ZEOR! COMIX! NOW! :mad::mad:

Thread will be reopened if Zero asks.
