Microsoft Sam didn't actually turn into a zombie?!
== Lore Description ==
With Sam actually fulfilling the request, Edgar is now 99% sure that Sam is actually a zombie. But then, Sam reveals that he was never a zombie, and Mr. B conveniently changes his colors back to normal. With Edgar off his guard, Sam quickly uses the Killing Machine to end this madness. With that, Sam prepares to live a peaceful life in Mike’s…no, HIS house, while continuing to make content for the YouTube channel.
Error 1: Windows tells Sam that there is an audio driver available for use…that has not even been downloaded yet.
Error 2: Windows trolls Sam by installing a single virus by itself.
Error 3: Mr. B informs Sam that there have been some budget cuts. A single pixel had to be shaved off of the 1080p metadata. Truly downgrading!
Error 4: The developers behind Microsoft Flight Simulator have recently added Master Chief into the game. Since Sam is a fan of this character, probably because of a version of Master Chief having his voice in a separate universe, Sam decides to actually play the game.
Error 5: Unfortunately, Microsoft Flight Simulator is not supported on Windows XP, so Sam opts to try and run the first ever Call of Duty instead.
Error 6: Sam finds out that the file for Call of Duty 1 has been reduced to zero bytes of data. He decides to give up trying to play any games for now.
Error 7: Windows tries to move a file somewhere, but the wrong diskette is in the drive. They decide to try and take their anger out on Sam’s SD card, but Sam tells them no. Apparently, the contents of his SD card are precious.
Error 8: Internet Explorer and Google Chrome are at war! Their forces accidentally shatter the error just as Sam jinxes it.
Error 9: Mr. B and Sam continue the conversation about niche Internet communities.
Error 10: A recent fatal exception has gotten Windows so confused that they claim they are having a stroke.
Meanwhile in the Afterlife, Mike plays dumb by asking where he is. Mary correctly guesses that this is supposed to be the Afterlife. Before Mike can think carefully about what to do or say next, Dr. Zomboss says that he died because of Sam, too, and now he wants to join them for revenge. Mike finds this incredibly suspicious, because he knew that he didn’t come to his house just to chat. Edgar states that it is in the past, and addresses Mr. Afterlife directly before Mike can say anything else, asking for revival.
Mr. Afterlife chooses not to show himself for the invisible cameras, as he wants to leave his appearance as a surprise. He even tells the audience not to question why he sounds almost exactly like Mike, as a direct reference to who he actually is. Anyways, things in Mr. Afterlife’s plans are falling into place, as he revives Mike, Mary and Edgar with seemingly no further thought. The episode ends there, and Mr. B finishes the editing on July 2nd. However, these events still take place the day before.
== 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, I think it's obvious by now that during these first 7 episodes, I was just winging the story since this series was made out of boredom. That's why it's no surprise that in this part of the story, Sam is revealed to have actually not turned into a zombie, because I didn't want to leave him like that forever. As you may have seen in the lore, this has created an interesting implication. Sam and Mr. B knew that Zomboss would come to attack beforehand, so they made Zomboss believe that he turned into a zombie before catching him off-guard, and this was also an excuse to kill Mike and Mary. Happy accidents create good storylines!
By the way, even though Sam had an official look as of the first numbered video I uploaded on this channel, I chose to represent Sam as the Epic Face instead. Why? Well, in the last episode, Zombie(?) Sam was laughing maniacally, so I guess I wanted to use the Epic Face to represent Sam whenever he's feeling evil. And for this episode, I chose to use it again, probably because of the big reveal. Now let's review the errors, shall we?
Error 1: This was based on a post from r/softwaregore, back when I still used that subreddit as error inspiration. I started doing that as of the 2023 Errory Errors series, I believe. And Sam's response is pretty obvious based on the error, so it's nothing special.
Error 2: Yes, Windows is feeling evil today. 'Nuff said.
Error 3: I still like this joke, and how shaving off one pixel counts as a budget cut for this error lmao. Maybe someone has done this joke before me; I don't really know. Also, Sam's "It's just one pixel" quote may have been a cryptic reference to how people are so used to 60 FPS that even dropping to 50 FPS feels wrong. I'm not sure if that's what I was thinking at the time, but right now, I see it that way.
Error 4: Hello I am Master Chief lololololololololololololololololol! Sorry, had to make a reference to "Master Chief Sucks at Halo" there. Other than that, I think I was planning on having Master Chief (the one voiced by Windows XP's version of Microsoft Sam) be a character in the Zushi Films channel, so maybe that's why I was thinking of him at the time? Not sure.
Error 5: Ah yes, the first error that is a continuation of another error! And I believe you could realistically run Call of Duty 1 on Windows XP, but I could be wrong. The reason why I was thinking of Call of Duty 1 was, at one point in the past I browsed the Call of Duty Wiki because I was bored, and I was watching the campaign of the first ever game. Maybe that memory came up at the time of this error, and this is Windows XP, so I think that's why I mentioned this.
Error 6: This is based off another r/softwaregore post, if it wasn't obvious by the absurd nature of the error. I believe Sam's response puts it best here.
Error 7: You guessed it; based off another r/softwaregore post. I still have no idea if putting the wrong diskette in a drive actually corrupts SD cards, but hey, it made interesting content for an error, and I guess that was the takeaway when I looked at whatever that post was. Oh yeah, and when Sam said "don't you dare corrupt my SD card! It's too precious to me!' I was thinking of that one line in nkrs200's Funny Windows Errors Season 1 Episode 2, where Microsoft Will tells an error not to spam his email account because it is too precious. Fun fact, that scene was inspired by a scene in Thunderbirds101's Funny Windows Errors S1EP5, where an error tells Sam to shut up or else they will waste fourteen days of his life with maintenance. Both series pretty much did the maintenance joke, although nkrs200's series threatened to spam the email instead of adding more days to maintenance.
Error 8: Surprisingly, I believe this was based on a post on you-know-where, too. My memory of the post is fuzzy, though. All I remember is browser icons. And you know that glass break sound effect? Well, I downloaded it near the end of October 2022, when I was making The Tale of AWK - Chapter 3: Homing In on the Subject on Zushi Films. And I decided to reuse it here because, you guessed it, it was an easy source for a glass break sound effect at the time! Go figure.
Error 9: You already know the Orb Community, but what in blue blazes (haha obscure CSV title reference) is the IHE Parody Community? IHE stands for a YouTube channel called I Hate Everything, which has a series where he explains why he personally dislikes certain things at the time of making those videos. Well, someone decided to make a parody channel of IHE, and like with Orb Games, it started a whole trend. Such parody names included I Widely Dislike Everything, I Have a Slight Aversion to Everything, I Fuck Everything (yes, that was a real IHE Parody), I Hate Green, and many more. Like with every trend, it died down, but there wasn't actually that much toxicity. Some of the people who participated in it made fun of the trend after it died, but I believe it was more lighthearted, and much less toxic. Though, the reason why Sam chose the IHE Parodies is because it's way more dead than the Orb Community. I do not know a single IHE Parody that's still uploading, though I have not researched into that for a while now.
Error 10: I originally didn't believe that this error could possibly be describing the previous error, and I didn't intend for it. anyway. Later on, I can honestly say that I can't unsee it now lmao, no matter how hard I try. Oh yeah, wanna know why the title says "HOLU CRAP" instead of "HOLY CRAP"? Yeah, it isn't just a typo, surprisingly! I was thinking of a line from one of megadawson100's videos, which is now known as "THIS VIDEO IS FULL OF SHIT" due to the channel being hacked by the owners of Murkekow, who was a random Mario OC created during the heyday of the Weegee Fad. Yeah, they were huge trolls to anyone they personally disliked, especially if it's because of overreacting due to people copying and "stealing" their work.
And how about the epilogue scene? I decided to introduce the concept of the Afterlife. W O W! And I also introduced the concept of Mr. Afterlife, who can revive anybody he pleases. Yup, totally not OP at all. And we got quite the unlikely trio, as Zomboss cares about nothing but himself, his zombies, and his zombie empire. By the way, Zomboss saying "Hey, man, that was in the past" was a cryptic reference to Sadman saying the exact same thing in a Roblox game called The Tech Orb: Down to the Core. Yes, that's one of the Orb Games I was talking about. It's pretty recent, too, although it's not as "crappy" as a traditional Orb Game made by Tinfoilbot and his copies. Instead, it just qualifies as your average quality obstacle course/obby game, except with more story and cutscenes.
I like how I made Mr. Afterlife say "Do not question why I sound like Microsoft Mike." I think I was actually intending for there to be a twist later, although I didn't really know what twist it would be until S1EP5 was finished. Like I said, I was winging it. The reason why I chose "Mike in Hall" as Mr. Afterlife's voice is because davemadson popularized the concept of "Mike in Space" being the voice of God, so I got inspired by that and chose Mike in Hall instead, because it sounded more godlike to me. That could be the reason, too. That's basically all I need to say for this episode.
