Pick Up the Phone Booth and Aisle (Video Game)	comment	Pick Up the Phone Booth and Aisle is a spinoff of the minimalist Interactive Fiction Pick Up the Phone Booth and Die and the differently minimalist Aisle. Just as in the latter, you can only make one move, and then the game ends. You have a host of other commands to choose from, and each one leads to hundreds of possible endings, each one sillier than the last.The game can be downloaded here, or played online here.It has also been "ported" to Uncyclopedia.

He returns safe years later, and there's a romantic scene where he tells her that he loves her, and that he's about to tell her something that will make her just as happy as he is: He's figured out that he's gay. Then there's the above Take That!, where a depressing paragraph about you, a poor man trying to sleep, actually having been the CEO of dot-com bubble company pets.com.

Pick Up the Phone Booth and Aisle (Video Game) / int_8c83208f	comment	You Can't Get Ye Flask: Most verbs (such as "get" or "kiss") resolve differently depending on the target you specify, either "phone booth" or "me". A few also have different endings depending on if you specify a target at all (such as "love" or "listen"). There are different responses for the cardinal directions (and up and down) depending on if you type "walk" or "look". Typing "sit on" with a subject results in the same response as "walk", for some reason. (For instance, "sit on floor" parses to "walk down".) A few actions, such as "hug" or "set", don't result in an ending but instead a snarky comment. This is also lampshaded if you type "waltz (subject)" rather than "waltz WITH (subject)".

Pick Up the Phone Booth and Aisle (Video Game) / int_bef696dd	comment	Mind Screw: Kick the phone booth, and it will beg you not do, and then shatter and sink into the mud, in a scene almost word-for-word from an early scene in the surreal 1998 IF game Losing Your Grip. Also, look southeast, and the booths will multiply until seemingly everything is phone booths. Could possibly be a reference to the IF game Shade. Try to undo without performing an action first, as described under Interface Screw. Typing "eat" will be interpreted as eating the phone booth, and will end with something so nonsensical the game itself will say "What the hell was that about?" Also try "waltz with me", in which the player character flies the "rocketbooth" to the centre of the universe, in order to dance with their counter-self.

Despite this, you're still around, but your pants still explode and kill you.

Pick Up the Phone Booth and Aisle (Video Game) / int_d24ed873	comment	Developer's Foresight: The whole point. If you can think of a verb, it probably does something here. There are over 200 endings to the game, most of which are documented in the ending archive. Remember how typing "inventory" causes your pants to explode? Try typing "disarm pants" (Pants don't have arms, they have legs), "disleg pants" (You take off the legs, but they're still exploding), "throw pants", "eat pants", both of which result in the game chastising you for using information from a previous playthrough, "remove pants" (The pants explode inside the phone booth and the you're killed by the debris), "wave pants" (You're killed by a random tsunami), and then "deactivate pants" (The game goes into detail about the alternate timeline created by the time machine you used to know to do this, and your pants explode during the exposition). If you try to perform an action with a direction, you get creative bug responses. "Waltz with (direction)", for example, gets you the response, "Your new name is Waltzes with Bugs." If you try to waltz without specifying "with", the text parser itself gets offended to think the player wouldn't try to elaborate past a two-word entry.
