comment |
A Let's Play of The Oregon Trail by Chewbot, who's known for also creating The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing.Cyrus Neckebard, a dimwitted banker, gets swept up in the patriotic dreams of the new frontier and drags his wife and children along on a family road trip to Oregon. Coming along with him is his promiscuous and unhappy wife Susan Neckebard, his piggish and hydrophobic daughter Sarah-Jane, his unusually black-skinned son Cyrus Jr. (AKA "Waffles" after the waffle incident), and Baby, a deformed infant born without a face who is of undetermined gender.And it all goes downhill from there.Notable for being interactive while he was making the story, including asking forum users on Something Awful to vote and choose what happened next, along with the names and personalities of the characters. Needless to say, Hilarity Ensues.Can be found here. |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Considering they spend virtually the entire story hating each other, moments where they get along are usually a solemn moment. |

Rasputinian Death: All of the family becomes infected with many layers of deadly diseases that would kill a strong man in a dim hospital room, but this wagon full of feces-covered, emaciated lunatics crawling through a desert manages to shrug it off, to the point where they're all shocked when they do start dying. |

Even Evil Has Standards: When the Neckebards reach Snake River, they hire a tribe of Native Americans to help them cross the river, only to realize too late that they'd fallen victim of a trap that the natives set to steal their belongings. When the wagon capsized in the water and a massive emotional meltdown ensued, though, the chief felt guilty enough to order the tribe to fix their wagon for them. |

Off the Rails: When Chewbot suggested the forum goons to vote via haiku (suggestions as to what to do next would be counted as two votes). They wouldn't stop posting new river crossing poems, even long after the voting was done and the results posted. Eventually they stopped haikus altogether and started writing full-length ballads and love songs based on the characters. Chewbot was flabbergasted. Updates 17 and 19 are when the story completely loses all handle on reality and turns into a high-stakes, explosive, bullet-riddled chase sequence, among several other unexpected plot twists. |

Living Prop: The Neckebards wouldn't quite consider Baby a part of the family so much as it is ... some kind of divine punishment, and its passing would be a mixed blessing for them. |

Forgotten Fallen Friend: It doesn't take long for the family to stop mentioning Baby Neckebard, not that they really seemed to care much in the first place. |

Shout-Out: The "peperony and chease" tombstone was of course a reference to the old "What do you want on your Tombstone?" pizza commercials. Anyone who played this game in school will know how often kids typed that in for an epitaph. "NOBODY PUTS BABY IN A CORNER!" |

Chandler's Law: The first edition Oregon Trail game is, quite frankly, boring to play and boring to watch. Hence why, whenever things get particularly dull, Chewbot gets a little... creative with his storytelling, like adding more Stuff Blowing Up |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge |
| | Plague and Treachery on the Oregon Trail (Lets Play) / int_ceec4df5 |
comment |
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: When Cyrus finds out that Susan cheated on him, he immediately grabs his rifle and storms off to shoot anything that moves (and a few things that don't.) He even calls the spoils his "revenge meat." When Waffles is killed by colonial soldiers, Susan's response is to raze the nearby Fort Walla Walla to the ground. And when Susan dies too, Cyrus goes apeshit on the British soldiers that come after them. |
