okay, I wasn't as busy as I thought, but I haven't drawn the first picture yet, so I'll just label things to do with ugly bird's ideas, changing his quote to include numbers:

13. that's brilliant, yay!
14. can do.
15. probably, but beyond my control.:D
16. sorry, no.
so, that's that.
see you when I've started now.
start off with a logo, and then...
you are face down on the floor, your leg is broken, but you are otherwise unharmed, what do you do?

(by the way, Mouldcube, I tallied it all up and it seems you had NEGATIVE feelings about the majority of my ideas. Oh well, maybe I'll have better luck with the next batch.
PS: sensory conflict is one of the big reasons why people experience motion sickness. When what they see and what their inner ear (or vestibular system) is telling them doesn't match up with what they would normally associate with what is normal, the brain believes its senses are not working properly and concludes that this is because it has been poisoned. The brain's natural reaction to this is to induce nausea and vomiting, to get rid of the poison. Pretty cool, huh?)
there you go, that was easy. there is nothing for miles, not even the building you fell from. there are things on the ground that you REALLY don't want to see. what now?

sorry about that, I do try to take ideas, but some just don't fit together to make a short episode, maybe I'll use the leftover ideas in episode 3.
on an unrelated note, I like how you've included me in your signature, RED COFFEE!
EDIT:I just tallied the results too, and 8 of them were positive, 4 were negative, and 4 were unsure.
positive were: 1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 13, 14 and 15.
negative were: 8, 10, 11 and 16.
unsure were: 2, 4, 5 and 12.
some may seem diferent than what I just said, but I assure you that they were mostly positive.

indeed.
I'm quite scared that I managed to understand that.:D
((In my tallying, I counted all the unsures as negatives, and I counted #15 as a neutral. That makes the tally 8 negatives and 7 positives.
And by the way, those ones you were unsure about... I mainly put those there either as jokes, or as deliberately vague ideas. Since you're the mastermind behind it all, I just thought some of it might spark an idea that you could take and run with as far as you wanted. I know that's how it works with MY writing... someone says something that sparks a thought which sparks another thought and so on and so on until I've got a fully cognitive, functioning idea in my head.
And I look forward to seeing that boat with the unusual source of propulsion.))
You turn on the laptop. Your desktop is cluttered with things that should be in the recycling bin. it also has "Internet Explorer," "Minesweeper," all the episodes of "Sam & Max" and "SBCG4AP," and "RPG Maker VX."
What now?
(also, "VX" is not a real roman numeral. If you mean fifteen, the letters should be switched. If you mean five, just take off the "X" entirely, since "V" on its own means five anyway.)
(also, "VX" is not a real roman numeral. If you mean fifteen, the letters should be switched. If you mean five, just take off the "X" entirely, since "V" on its own means five anyway.)
nothing to do with roman numerals, it's a version of the RPG Maker series, type it in on google or something, I've put a video of a game I made with it up on youtube, ask if you want a link.

you find a word document called "spoilersthestoryplot" just sitting there, doing nothing. you don't put anything in the recycling bin, or empty it.

JUST KIDDING!

there are none, not even one that comes with it or one that teaches you how to play, you can only start a new one, or do something else, you still have that paper.
> if unimportant, tear it to pieces and burn it with your mind.
yeah, it probably is unimportant, you memorise it anyway, befor destroying it, setting the remains on fire and throwing it to the ground, while it's still on fire...
...oops, that was pretty stupid.
how did all that get there when it set on fire though?
> open up internet explorer and go to qwantz.com, I mean... the website for the guide.
you go to the website for the guide, on it it shows all you had to do in episode 1, and everything up to now in episode 2, including setting the place on fire. it's unfinished, and the only thing on there that you haven't already done is "use cool teleporty powers to go to a hospital and fix your broken leg".
>Use cool teleporty powers to go to a hospital and fix your broken leg
you do so, just before an explosion happens.
The hospital is run by turtles that keep on about fractions.
The hospital is built on floating platforms. (hah, I just used 4 of Ugly Bird's ideas in one post!) your leg is fixed and you can now go, what do you do?

"yeah, there are a few, about an eighth of them are in the exit hut, another sixth we locked up in the storage room, half of them are in that field down there that exploded, and we don't know where the other 4.8 of them are. the password to the storage room is the same as how many portals there are, can you work it out?"

You try, but all you can see is ground, try finding a way of getting up first.

Maybe you should get up first.
seriously, you shouldn't, YOU haven't seen the birds eye veiw of the area yet (at least I think you haven't, you might have when my back was turned)
That would probably be a bad idea, but if you still want to, I would reccomend saving first.
there you go, that was easy. there is nothing for miles, not even the building you fell from. there are things on the ground that you REALLY don't want to see. what now?

you have nothing...exept that peice of paper has been undeleted, and you now somehow have a laptop.
...you sure? Hmm...YOU ALSO HAVE A BOAT IN YOUR POCKET!:D:D:D
((and you weren't serious about the boat, right?))
You turn on the laptop. Your desktop is cluttered with things that should be in the recycling bin. it also has "Internet Explorer," "Minesweeper," all the episodes of "Sam & Max" and "SBCG4AP," and "RPG Maker VX."
What now?
Yes, I was extremely serious, you DO have a boat in your pocket.
(and by that I mean, take it out of your pocket.)
(also, "VX" is not a real roman numeral. If you mean fifteen, the letters should be switched. If you mean five, just take off the "X" entirely, since "V" on its own means five anyway.)
not yet, there is no water nearby that you can put it in.
nothing to do with roman numerals, it's a version of the RPG Maker series, type it in on google or something, I've put a video of a game I made with it up on youtube, ask if you want a link.
anyway, what now?
> If recycling bin has nothing in it, fill it with the things on your desktop that should be in there, then empty the recycling bin.

> Hum obnoxiously while reading it.
"ERROR=Word not installed!"
"ERROR=File corrupted!"
"ERROR=There wasn't even a recyling bin on your computer for this file to be in!"
"ERROR=World going to explode if you try again!"
JUST KIDDING!

there are none, not even one that comes with it or one that teaches you how to play, you can only start a new one, or do something else, you still have that paper.
> if unimportant, tear it to pieces and burn it with your mind.
it's the paper from episode 1, it has the website for the guide on it.
yeah, it probably is unimportant, you memorise it anyway, befor destroying it, setting the remains on fire and throwing it to the ground, while it's still on fire...
...oops, that was pretty stupid.
how did all that get there when it set on fire though?
> open up internet explorer and go to qwantz.com, I mean... the website for the guide.
you look at the trees and plants that suddenly sprang from no-where when the place set on fire...maybe you should think about moving.
you go to the website for the guide, on it it shows all you had to do in episode 1, and everything up to now in episode 2, including setting the place on fire. it's unfinished, and the only thing on there that you haven't already done is "use cool teleporty powers to go to a hospital and fix your broken leg".
you do so, just before an explosion happens.
The hospital is run by turtles that keep on about fractions.
The hospital is built on floating platforms. (hah, I just used 4 of Ugly Bird's ideas in one post!) your leg is fixed and you can now go, what do you do?
"yeah, there are a few, about an eighth of them are in the exit hut, another sixth we locked up in the storage room, half of them are in that field down there that exploded, and we don't know where the other 4.8 of them are. the password to the storage room is the same as how many portals there are, can you work it out?"
> Goto "exit hut".
> Do an elaborate dance involving lots of high leg kicks, just to demonstrate to yourself how great it feels to have a fixed leg.
"That's half of a rude comment, but i'll look three fifths of the way past it."
The hospital is not attached to it in any way, it doesn't like it.
You decide not to, as it will break again at any sudden movements.
You try, but you seem to have lost the cool teleporty powers, I wonder how.
> Attempt to enter the storage room, using the password "Twenty-three and two fifths".
you save, then attempt to open the storage shed, but it's the wrong password, who says the total is a fraction? you do have an answer card.
(PS: if the answer is 23, then I'm scared. The number is after me!)
> also, steal one of the turtles little hats.
