As a personal chastisement, I cleared a huge part of the perimeter, Sir!


I'm a big fan of personal chastisement.







Excellent work, everyone, we've made it to the end. Wait, what the... what's that?



Let's see how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Palpy: We appear to be safe, for now, and our treasure is still intact. But this does not appear to be the Secret Catacombs Of CanadaTM



Palpy: *sigh* A brilliant deduction.





Palpy: Good one, Sherlock. Again, brilliant deduction. But where exactly is "here?" What dimension are we in? Who exactly are these people? Why are they fighting in stupid looking robots?
Trooper: I'm not certain, sir.
Palpy: Hmm... I sense great anger in this one. Anger such as this I have not felt in a long time.
Trooper: Sir?
Palpy: Still, if you have the technology to build giant robots, why arm them with swords and hammers? Give me a good ol'turbolaser cannon any day.





Palpy: That was a close call--now, back to business.

Aaaaand we're back. Well, that was certainly strange.
You could say that again, sir!
No. I could, but I will not. Instead, let us bask in the glory that is the Secret Catacombs Of CanadaTM



Uhhh--



Oh hey, will you look at that. The portal appears to have acted as some sort of shortcut. We are now on the fifth level of the Catacombs.
How deep do they go, sir?
Well, we got in here one way, we'll find a way out another. Where to, Troopers? Lead us onward.

Oh dear. Well, it's a good thing we had a shield. Trooper Captain Bravo is okay, but needs to stop wasting our precious resources.

Ah, but it seems we've lost Trooper JT Jag to that saw blade (and poor path-finding AI). We now seem to be boxed in by mines. I expect the way to be clear promptly, Troopers.

Sir, I very much agree with Trooper radintorov's plan.

...as well as general excavation in the sites as marked below, blue for clearing and red for marking as dangerous:


...please ignore the marked out red space on the far right, sir. My targeting programs don't allow for individual correction of a mark, only operating in a sequence, and I input the blue spaces after the red ones.

Okay, sounds go--oh no! Did Trooper Oblivion4568238 just get killed by a giant spiked rolling pin due to poor path-finding?!



Uh, no, sir. Trooper Oblivion4568238 is right over there. They're a little scuffed up, but otherwise fine.
Then whose dead body is that?
Uh--

I don't know?
Then we've only lost Trooper JT Jag?
No, sir, same situation.
Then the body--

Who are these people?!
They appear to be some of the locals from that other dimension we crossed through.
Strange. I wonder what that could mean and if it will have any bearing at all on our quest to escape the Catacombs.

Yes, yes, let's do this. We could always use more treasure to fund my glorious war campaign.

Question sir, before I return to charting our next large excavation: why the hell is there pathfinding in a Minesweeper game? Why the hell is there even a character on the field, surely a disembodied mouse cursor descending from above as in old days would be better?

I suppose a better question is, who do we blame for the above? And will we find them at the end of this ~Adventure~ mode?

Uh, here, move, I'll clear some of the way. Surely this minesweeping thing can't be too hard.



Huh, wow. Look at that. I barely did anything and the screen cleared right up. This, uh, this isn't as challenging as it used to be. Uh, Troopers, you go on ahead. Clear the route. We're almost at the exit.

Sir, you have to press the button. Here, allow me.



Ahh! Excellent. I think it's starting!



"E For Everyone?" Goodness, a video that even a Sith Lord such as myself would enjoy?



*gasp* Solitaire! I love Solitaire! It is truly the only game a lonely Sith Lord could enjoy!



Oh, and Spider Solitaire too! Truly, this is a Golden Age. You like Solitaire, don't you, Trooper?
Uh, sure.



Goodness, the colours! The options! The variety!



Surely this is greater than any Sith treasure?
Sir??



I love it. I must have it.



Oh, and Daily Challenges!! Who doesn't like challenging themselves? And for GOLD no less! I know of no word that could describe this amazing video. It's, its--oh, what's the word I'm looking for--



Yes! That's it! It's perfect! Oh, the video even knew what word I was searching for, how charming!

No, sir. The wrong kind of questions.
Dear me. Well, uh, we better distract them. Quick, what were going to do? Ah yes, grab that mouse pointer once and for all. Troopers! Look! Over here! Look at me! I'm going to grab the mouse pointer! Pay no attention to the discrepancy in our health meter, but look over here! A ha! I got it--



Oh gods, what have I done!?
Sir, you appear to have opened up another portal!
Where to this time? Another LP?
Not exactly, sir.
What do you mean "not exactly"?
You haven't opened up a portal to one other LP, sir. You've opened up a portal to ALL the LPs!
Noooooo!



It's happening. I didn't intend for it to happen, but it's here!
What is, sir?
The LP Convergence!
Sir?
The LP Convergence!
What's that?
When too many LPs gather in one place, they trigger an LP Convergence Event.
Sir, I don't understand
These Catacombs, they must be beneath the LP Subforum. That could be the only explanation for it.
Sir, I still don't understand what a Convergence Event is.
It's simple, really. Horrific, horrible, and horrendous, but simple. You see, an LP Convergence Event is--
Um, hello there, excuse me?

Hi, could I have a word with you?
Don't I know you?
I'm with Microsoft. I represent them in cases involving Let's Plays of their products.
Do you mind? I'm trying to have a moment here. It's big stuff.
I understand, but you understand that you've broken the rules regarding Let's Plays of Microsoft games?
Uh, what now?
The Game Content Usage Rules. Here, read this.
Uh, I don't have my glasses.
Sir.
Thank you. Uh, let's see now. Hmmm. Uh huh. Oh, okay, I see what you mean.
I'm glad.
Uh, Minesweeper © Microsoft Corporation. That's right, isn't it? Let's Play Canadian Military Simulator 2001 was created under Microsoft's "Game Content Usage Rules" using assets from Minesweeper, and it is not endorsed by or affiliated with Microsoft..
Uh, heh, I'm, uh, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
What do you mean? I did the thing in the thing!
No, no, you see, this LP is being hosted on a pay-to-use website. Thus, it infringes on our rules.
Wait, but--
Cuff'em boys.
No, nooooooooo!
