Dr. Zomboss, Mike, and Mary attempt to kill Sam. What will happen next?
== Lore Description ==
When they are back in the land of the living, Edgar says that there is one thing to be done first before killing Sam…and that is to infect Mike and Mary with the Zombie Virus. With the creator himself and his sister by his side, his actual next step is to infect Sam instead of killing him, so he can have thrice the power to start an apocalypse. Sam sees the commotion outside and goes outside to taunt them before he kills them all again. But while Sam is busy doing his evil laugh, Mike manages to bite Sam’s finger, and the siblings are instantly killed by Sam again in retaliation.
Sam asks Zomboss what’s next, and he explains that it is too late for Sam. Sure enough, Sam goes through the actual effects of the Zombie Virus, changing his look to your average zombie in the process. With Sam now under orders from Edgar, he decides to wait to hear his first mission. In the meantime, he decides to read errors for the series once again, despite what just happened!
Error 1: Windows XP is revealed to be scared of actual zombies and forces Sam to upgrade to Windows 11. Mr. B made sure to say “downgrade” in the error instead, for the reason you’re about to know in the next error.
Error 2: Windows 11 is basically Windows but they’re a zombie of their former self, given the bland look of the errors here. Also, apparently, the only game one can play in this OS is Microsoft Flight Simulator. As a zombie, Sam’s all-time favorite game is the “I, Zombie” minigame from Plants vs. Zombies 1. So, he opts for Windows 98 instead, because it is also not as lively as Windows XP and he believes that he can run the game on it.
Error 3: Mr. B disallows Sam from downgrading by saying that the downgrade machine broke. This is because he didn’t want Sam to waste time playing games, and he didn’t want to have more OS switching in one episode than necessary.
Error 4: Windows cannot take all these tasks anymore and wants Sam to commit a memory dump. Sam mistakes this for a physical dump and states that he cannot do so due to the effects of the Zombie Virus.
Error 5: Windows clarifies what they actually meant, but they do state that they relate with the ghost thing. Sam is too lazy to open up Task Manager.
Error 6: Windows 11 can now have 1 exabyte of RAM, which is considerably larger than 2 terabytes. Sam decides that he will replace all of the contents of the Homework Folder with zombie hentai.
Error 7: Apple, the rival company of Microsoft, tries to tell Sam that he approved for a 500 year membership to Apple Computers without his own knowledge. They also assume that he is a robot, since he has lived for over 10,000 years.
Error 8: Basically an advertisement about Wi-Fi Man and how he can overclock Wi-Fi speeds to unimaginable lengths. In Linux, though, there is the side-effect of file size upgrades. Sam asks how those two concepts are related.
Error 9: Even though Sam is a zombie, he is still interested in talking about niche Internet communities with Mr. B. The TTS community is especially notable because it is the sole reason why ClassicSamVideos exists.
Error 10: Windows 11 supports Coca Cola products as the main source of thirst-quenching liquids, because water does not fit in the eyes of tomorrow.
With that, Dr. Zomboss gives Sam his first mission, which is to kill his old arch-nemesis, Crazy Dave. Since he only has one zombie instead of three, the apocalypse will start much slower, and Crazy Dave will be alerted of it faster. So, in his mind, the only logical direction is to attack the source of his problems, hoping that Crazy Dave will have his guard down long enough to be killed by Sam’s Killing Machine. Unfortunately, when Sam gets to Dave’s farm, he proudly introduces himself instead of doing the job immediately, and Dave just so happens to have a Doom-shroom right near him. Since each Doom-shroom is of equal power to the Killing Machine, Sam is sent to the Afterlife along with the weapon itself.
== 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.
Yup, because of Mike's reluctance, Dr. Zomboss decides to infect them both in the end. As you may know, once one becomes a zombie, they are in Zomboss's control. I decided to use the classic browncoat zombie variant for the picture because once again, it's an easy option. So yes, Sam kills them both again, but I also made Sam get infected by the zombie virus for real this time, since I thought it would progress the story best. I still like the way I wrote this scene. It's funny how the sound effect used for the Killing Machine is the same one used for when Mike bites Sam's finger. Laziness intensifies xD
Error 1: Windows XP's lively soul is scared of zombies. I wanted to use Windows 11 because haha funny corporate zombies. 'Nuff said.
Error 2: Ah yes, this is the first time that another Operating System is used besides XP! I still like the "zombie of our former self" quote, and the fact that I exaggerated this by claiming that Microsoft Flight Simulator is the only game they have. After all, it was mentioned in the previous episode, so of course I would mention it again here lol. And it's no surprise that Zombie Sam would want to play a minigame in Plants vs. Zombies where you play as the zombies. As for why Sam thinks of Windows 98 as second best to Windows 11 in zombie terms? Not sure, honestly. Maybe because in this form, he still thinks that Windows Vista, Windows 8, Mac OS, and Linux are bad, so he chooses a bland-looking OS like 98.
Error 3: Understandable, have a nice day. Sorry, had to make that meme reference lol. This is also the first appearance of the classic profanity line from the oldest of Microsoft Sam videos. And as you can tell, Zombie Sam decides to cut his losses.
Error 4: I most likely have gotten the idea of this error from r/softwaregore, but I'm not sure. I like how Sam misinterprets "memory dump" as a literal dump, and starts going into detail about what the zombie virus does to someone's body.
Error 5: I like the "corporate zombie" insult, and how Windows 11 relates to the ghost thing.
Error 6: Imagine if exabytes became the meta for most computers. That will be a long time before that happens, and it also depends on if luck is still on our side. And here's proof that I was thinking about Sam having actual homework in that folder rather than porn. If I was making this episode today, I probably wouldn't have mentioned "zombie hentai" as a joke. I'm feeling uncomfortable thinking about it. Oh well. That's just how I feel nowadays.
Error 7: I say 500 years here, meanwhile my ass in the future thought up the idea of the universe existing for over 10,000 years lmao. So yeah, 500 years means nothing to Sam at this point. Although that's just the timeframe of this universe. I have already said in lore concepts that during the entire storyline of CSV, which will take years to complete, only three months would pass in the Mushroom Kingdom universe. So, give or take, 500 years in the CSV world would probably be a few years in that world. Oh yeah, and I made this funny error about Apple because ha ha Apple bad Windows good etc. etc.
Error 8: This one was definitely inspired by a r/softwaregore post, especially the "accidental file size upgrades in Linux" part. I still find it funny that I decided to make these two topics correlate with each other. Sam puts it best here.
Error 9: The TTSC is obviously shorthand for the TTS Community, which is where the traditional Microsoft Sam videos come from. However, I also know about the Plushtuber community, which has people like MarioMario8989 (Cute Mario Bros.), SuperMarioRichie, SuperDentBros, goomzilla, Travis Plush Productions, Five Nights at Froakies, and SLYP1E, to name a few Mario-related and FNAF-related creators. These communities are similar in that there are often collabs between users, which can change the storylines of their respective channels (nkrs200 and TheROFL98 come to mind, as with SLYP1E and Neo Plush Films). Sam chooses the Plushtubers as having the most complicated storylines, because the lore of the FNAFroakies channel has influenced countless FNAF and other Plushtubers for years to come, so much so that it's way more complicated than lore in series by the TTSC.
Error 10: I still like this error, and Sam's response. I think I came up with this myself. Also, the "COCA COLA SOY" option is a reference to the Soyjak meme, and not Sam's pronunciation glitch. Because ha ha funny "we use Soyjaks to represent when people are mindless sheep."
So, in the 2023 Errory Errors series, Crazy Dave appeared in it, too, because again, I was influenced by Zack Max's AGK Adventures. And here, I figured it would make sense that Dr. Zomboss's mission for Sam would be to kill Crazy Dave, so he is promptly reused here. Of course, Doom-shroom makes sense as the one that brings Zombie Sam's downfall. You might think I wrote myself into a corner here, but if you remember the fact that Mr. Afterlife revived people so easily, you know that it's not the end. And yes, the fire preset from VEGAS Pro and Collapsing Platform 2 was the easiest choice to indicate Zombie Sam's death. That's all I need to say for this one.
