It's nothing but the death pages from Choose Your Own Adventure-type books

I love how fucked-up some of those can be

    I always intentionally tried to get all of the Bad Ends first, and was always disappointed when my other, better judgments led me to the good stuff before the end. But yeah agreed.

    See, I was the kind of kid who always found the "bad" endings more entertaining than the "good" endings.

  • My dreams exceed my real life
    (from Choose Your Own Adventure #10: The Lost Jewels of Nabooti, 1981)  If by “horrible,” you mean “truly epic.”

  • I remember these.

    I sat down, read the first page, flipped through to find the good end, then that was it

    I mean, I can understand not wanting to bother with them, but at least cheat to the bad endings...

    i'm not going to waste my time meandering about trying to figure things out, this is a book damn it and if they're going to try and make me work for the ending I'm gonna damn well cheat

    That's...that's not how crocodiles work.  They're physically incapable of chewing or breaking off small pieces (on purpose anyway).

    EDIT: Ugh, I forgot how completely random and arbitrary most of these are.  If you're going to traumatize kids, at least have it make sense.

    Like, this?

    You just got killed doing something completely mundane that had jack all to do with anything threatening in the story.  This is the CYOA equivalent of tripping in Smash Bros.
