The Quest to Destroy the Fake Mac Guy

"The Quest to Destroy the Fake Mac Guy (?)" is one of Mac Guy3135's Side Quests in his part of The Adventure Series. Unlike the main adventures, this quest does not have an episode number, as it is considered a side story and is not part of any of his Seasons. The quest takes place between PC Guy's Prison and The Adventure to Destroy the Empire of the PC Guys, during which the First PC Guy Castle is in a ruinous state due to the events of "PC Guy's Prison." In this adventure, Mac Guy3135 and Dilys embark on a mission to confront The PC Guy Empire, which has attempted to create a copy of Mac Guy3135, resulting in a horrendous imitation that threatens to replace him.

## Plot

The quest begins in The Cream Room of Mac Guy's Mansion, where Mac Guy3135 explains the situation to Dilys. The PC Guy Empire has created a Fake Mac Guy with the intent to destroy Mac Guy3135, using another Mac Guy3135 as a weapon. Determined to thwart this plot, Mac Guy3135 and Dilys set out on their quest, beginning with a journey to the Falkirk Portal and then to The Gorge of Eternal Peril.

At The Bridge of Death, which crosses The Gorge, the protagonists encounter The Troll, a formidable guardian who imposes his regular challenge. In order to proceed, Mac Guy3135 and Dilys must correctly answer three questions posed by The Troll. Fortunately, the questions posed by The Troll prove to be rather straightforward, allowing the protagonists to cross The Bridge of Death. After making it to the other side. Mac Guy3135 decides to use The Witch to make the Troll's next third question extremely challenging. Dilys agrees and her and Mac Guy3135 travel to The Witch's Cottage, Upon reaching The Witch's Cottage, they present their case and request The Witch assistance. The Witch's abilities enable her to cast a spell that involves the ingrediants of three question marks, which The Witch has to hand, and a 64kg weight. Dilys, with her strength, easily contributes the 64kg weight, and the spell is casted.

The next step takes them to the ruined First PC Guy Castle, where they need to retrieve the Fake Mac Guy from the cellar. They discover the courtyard occupied by three PC Guys, but the PC Guys are so absorbed in their argument that Mac Guy3135 and Dilys slip past them unnoticed. They successfully lure the Fake Mac Guy to follow them out of the PC Guy Empire, which forces it to confront the Bridge of Death.

As anticipated, The Troll awaits their arrival at the Bridge of Death, prepared to pose an insurmountable mathematical question to any who dare cross. The Fake Mac Guy falls victim to The Troll's challenging query, for it is an impossible mathematical conundrum. With no hope of a correct answer, The Fake Mac Guy meets its demise, cast into The Gorge below, thus destroying The Fake Mac Guy and ending the quest.

## Production

The adventure was made in a single day during the production of the longer quest The Adventure to Destroy Linux Guy5313, which is the third episode of Season 1 of Mac Guy3135's Adventures. The decision to create this side quest arose from Mac Guy3135 wanting a break from the painfully slow production process of Season 1. The adventure was animated using the classic Adventure Series style, which features drawn characters overlaid on real-life photographs. Mac Guy3135 and Krobbizoid took most of the photographs used in the adventure, with various locations serving as filming spots, including Raglan Castle, several areas in Scotland and Wales, and other UK locations. Only The Witch's Kitchen and the base of The Gorge are stock photos.

One notable aspect of this adventure is its use of songs composed entirely by Krobbizoid, originally created for Krobbizoid's series of adventures, "TQTDTME." This choice was made to avoid copyright strikes and gave the adventure a distinct musical backdrop. However, viewers should be aware that the video is notably loud.

"The Quest to Destroy the Fake Mac Guy" was designed to have a similar production level to TQTDTME, but with less complex movements. Additionally, unlike most of Mac Guy3135's Adventure Videos, this quest was created entirely in Keynote, without any post-editing or subtitles, save for one explosion greenscreen. This streamlined production allowed the adventure to be completed in a single day, preventing any delays to the more important adventure, "The Adventure to Destroy Linux Guy5313." However, this did mean that the characters could not move at the same time the subtitles were fading in or out. Some subtitles were also not centred and some were exceptionally long.

Contrary to most of Mac Guy3135's side quests, "The Quest to Destroy the Fake Mac Guy" uses the same thumbnail format as the main adventures of Season 1, (1), (2), and (3). This format is shared with only two other side quests, Invasion of the PC Guys and The Adventure to Destroy the Lion's Heart Stone.
