== Lore Description ==
Sam prepares to read errors in peace for the rest of the series, but he forgets one thing… Mike and Mary are still infected, and now they want to kill him. They still hate Sam because of his personality, although this is obviously amplified due to the Zombie Virus. Their plan is to make Sam run away so he doesn’t get infected too, and hope that he leaves the Killing Machine behind so they can use it against him. However, since basic zombies are generally slower, Sam has enough time to taunt them and kill them instantly for the third time. Thinking that it’s finally over with, Sam reads errors for the umpteenth time.
Error 1: Windows has somehow locked themself out of the information about why a fatal exception has just occurred.
Error 2: Windows XP has disowned Internet Explorer. Either that, or the program just contains an error.
Error 3: Windows attempts to tell a fun fact about the German language.
Error 4: The price of Golden Screws have crashed so much that they are practically free.
Error 5: An error is still under construction. However, Sam points out that Mr. B intentionally left it this way.
Error 6: The Microsoft Store is still selling a broken program in a floppy disk for some reason.
Error 7: A new Minecraft clone called Minceraft has been released, and it already won Game of the Year for its stellar gameplay and concepts.
Error 8: Mr. B points out the existence of the nerdy emoticon icon in the error generator, and assumes that other TTS creators are gonna use it for the nerd emoji meme.
Error 9: Mr. B reminds Sam that it’s almost the 4th of July, and asks Sam if he wants to have a special made for the channel. Mr. B promises freedom fries, fireworks, and burritos. Sam wonders if it will be AWE S1EP6 or a standalone video.
Error 10: The 50th error of the series! Mr. B decides to tell Sam about this. But at the same time, Mr. Afterlife goes back to the real world and plants a bomb next to Sam. Mr. B warns him about this, and Sam tries to run, but he runs into the bomb itself and it explodes. The bomb was not near the computer, so it is intact. Mr. Afterlife knew that destroying the computer would be unwise since as far as he knows, it’s the only place where the code of the universe is at, so he had to be careful where he placed it. Luckily, thanks to the timeline, he knew exactly where Sam would run.
Mr. Afterlife tells the viewers that he told them that he would do things himself, as a little nod to how it was never about Edgar. He declares that he will revive Mike and Mary, and keep Sam in the Afterlife forever. Of course, he knows this won’t happen exactly as he says it will. Meanwhile, this episode of AWE is aired on July 3rd.
== Director's Commentary ==
NOTE: After all the lore revamps on the document are done, I am going to actually tend to this wiki the way I should've done in the beginning. I'm also going to remake the director's commentary bits. So, as a little disclaimer, the following isn't the final version and may even contain outdated information in some cases.
So, Sam's design was finally used last episode, and now here, I'm consistently using it…whenever he feels normal, I guess. Also, the reason why Mike and Mary never got their own designs is because I was too lazy to make them, so their canon designs at this time might as well be the Epic Faces. In the thumbnail of the Arc 1 Episodes 1-7 compilation, I interpreted their designs as two Epic Faces, with one tinted green and one tinted yellow, so I guess those are official now lmao. And you can tell I was running out of ideas, because I made Sam just kill these zombies so he can read errors in peace. Speaking of, let's review them as always.
Error 1: A simple error I made up. I don't remember if it was inspired or not, and this joke might have been done before. I like Sam's response to this, though!
Error 2: Now this one was definitely inspired by r/softwaregore. Just the typical "Internet Explorer was outdated at birth" joke lol
Error 3: I don't remember what post inspired this error message. Maybe it was from Twitter instead, but that seems unlikely.
Error 4: The [NaN] thing was definitely inspired by r/softwaregore. And the Golden Screw joke was done before in other TTS videos. It's funny that the Golden Screw ended up as this rare artifact that's actually worth something during Arc 2, so I guess times have changed since this error lol
Error 5: I remember thinking of this error myself, and I think Sam's response really adds to the joke. Because why would the error message be written like that, if not for this series? xD
Error 6: The glitchy floppy disk was probably inspired. I don't know about the "on sale" thing. That might've either come from my brain or it was from the post. So yeah, store manager is stupid, apparently.
Error 7: Someone has definitely made this joke before, but I think whoever came up with it is pretty clever, and I'm still proud of putting it as an error. The Minceraft joke surprisingly makes a return later, so that's something.
Error 8: Being self-aware is good, yus. Also, I don't actually mind the bacon and taco jokes. I just prefer not to use them.
Error 9: Ah yes, this is the origin of the "are you going to make a [blank] special" thing. I made this episode a day before July 4th, and I was pretty confident about making such a thing, so why not mention the idea? I was right about the special being short. In fact, it's the shortest canon video! There were 2 errors short of 5, though. And it pretty much was the first "skit" of the series. The Halloween special and the Cultural Appropriation video helped normalize this type of video, where errors and stuff aren't the main focus. Oh yeah, and I got the "freedom fries" thing from Thunderbirds101, although that joke may very well be from somewhere else.
Error 10: The thing about Sam not caring about milestones actually came from a series on a channel formerly known as "Zushi Fukato" (not to be confused with the Zushi Films channel I was working on, which also had its name changed to something random). It was called Sam's Microsigns, and it was unique compared to the rest of my series, in that there was background music. For some reason, that really appealed to me then. Not so much now, though, which is why I have not done it in CSV yet.
Again, I was running out of ideas, so as a last ditch effort, I made Mr. Afterlife kill Sam. I was pretty much setting up the part where Sam kills him, and then as you know, all hell broke loose, but more on that later. What Mr. Afterlife says here is actually an interesting twist. He says "I told you I would do things myself" even though the earlier scene implied that he was talking about Zomboss. Well, no, he still wanted Sam dead. And this little plot hole is one of the things that helped me solve the entire Arc 1 storyline when I decided to write the Strange Tale, while I was waiting for my Christmas special to premiere on its designated date. It's interesting how my later plot choices helped fix the earlier plot holes, and I didn't even notice that until then. During the final Arc 1 episodes, I was still making these because I was bored, and while a part of that is still true today, I'm still doing this because I'm passionate about the story, which funnily enough, all started because I was bored. As usual, that's all for this episode.
