           DEATH STAR
Special Selection June 2009 This spherical moon size battle station produces the mother of all laser beams. The Death Star is capable of moving throughout the galaxy, destroying entire planets and spreading fear like a shadow of impending doom. 75 miles in diameter it has a surface like a metropolis full of detention blocks and interrogation cells. The death star is capable of housing a billion people and requires a million personnel to operate.

     CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE BOOKS
These books were popular in the 80's and early 90's, selling over 250 million copies between 1979-1998. Every book is packed with action and the reader is the star. Every couple of pages the reader needs to decide what he/she should do next.
Depending on the reader's choices a CYOA book can have a happy ending or one of many others. There is even a CYOA book that has an ending that can only be reached by cheating. Choose your own Adventure.

Back before The Brick Testament launched my career to the heights of minor internet celebrity, my first brush with infamy was in 1997 as the creator of BRAD: the game, the internet's most perverted text-based Choose Your Own Adventure, loosely based on the exploits of my uncle Brad. http://www.bradthegame.com
reply
I see Brad bringing you a second championship ring.
reply
i like to pretend that you are not actually a person.
reply
but some sort of super intelligent robot or program
reply
If only.
reply
Oh hells, you should relase BRAD: the game as an iPhone app. That shizz would KILL!

Books that would have been better if they had been "Choose Your Own Adventure":
1) The Motorcycle Diaries 2) James Joyce's Ulysses 3) To Kill a Mockingbird 4) The Grapes of Wrath 5) Gravity's Rainbow 6) Anne Frank's Diary reply
3.) You stand at Boo Radley's house. To go in, turn to page #23. To leave, turn to page #43. To leave a burning bag of dog poo, turn to page #99.
4.) To stay in Oklahoma, turn to page #59. To go to California, turn to page #102. To battle the Zombie Invasion in Tulsa, go to page, #408.
reply
I turn to page #99!
reply
I would totally turn to page #408.
reply
6.) The Nazi's are down stairs. To wish them a happy Hanukkah turn to page 29. To hide in the attic turn to page 107. To call in airstrike using telepathy turn to page 91.
reply
You need to write this!!!!!
reply
Anne Frank's Choose Your Own Diary, in a Borders near you summer 2010 :)
reply
I smell a Disney Presents "Anne Franke's CYOD" On Ice!!!

I think you had to be a kid in the early 80's to appreciate Choose Your Own Adventure. They were video games before video games. The whole concept of a book was taken to a whole different place, where you were the hero making the choices. There were different worlds to be explored, based on the choices you made. I bought every new one as soon as it hit the shelves.

+1! That's exactly how I described CYOA books when I nominated them! Totally revolutionary, when you think that back then the term "interactive" didn't apply to absolutely everything. I think they helped foster my love of books - kinda like training wheels in a way - because they sorta helped spark your imagination with simply the words on the pages.
Not to mention that, back then, I'd imagine they were also rather tricky to write. Plus, the supposed origin of the genre was a man who wrote his own bedtime story to read to his kids - and made it so they could decide what happened next. Super awesome to me, but I do understand how it could be lost on people who never read them
reply
The Death Star could have destroyed the planet of the Jar Jar Binkses, but didn't.
reply
It should have...
reply
I know! That's an epic fail!
reply
Totally, epic epic fail
reply
I think the fact that a bunch of personafied catfish were able to take down that many droids and not get blown up only increases a giant laser's awesomeness.
reply
If it did, it would have been even more awesome.
reply
yea lets all vote for queen of the mist now
reply
You people are voting for something that is used to efficiently kill billions of innocent people at a time. Sure, it is fictional, but you are still voting for a fictional floating planetwide holocaust device. Think about it.
reply
Sorry, much like Yorky, I have to vote against religious fanatic terrorists like Luke Skywalker, so the Death Star has my vote.
reply
Your logic has won me over. A vote for the Death Star is a vote for peace, justice, law, order, and the American way. A vote for Che Guevara is a vote for Luke Skywalker, Osama bin Laden, and the families of the victims of 9/11 who don't support the Iraq War.
reply
This is suddenly the best political debate I have heard in 10 years
reply
I actually noticed that there are no legit Death Star pictures in this slideshow. It must be so awesome, everyone just know what that is.
reply
Oooh, the first candidate I've ever nominated - do I need to recuse myself from voting?
Naah, CYOA books are just way too awesome!
