"I'm only here because gamers would be posting all sorts of complaints if we didn't include SOME kind of ending."

"You beat the game, you're feelin' pretty cool
You stayed up all night and missed a day of school
You played like a champ, so what do you get?
37 pounds of Jack Shit"

"You know, there's really no point in going on. It's not like there's a reward, like there's a pot of gold sitting on top of the TV. If you beat the game, it probably just says 'The End', and that's it. So in order to keep playing it, you gotta be a fucking nerd." [beat] [continues playing]
"I'm not restarting this shitty game just to see Suckbitch Sam roll by on a wheelbarrow while some pixelated assholes stare at me from under credits!"

Gabriel: I bet [the ending] is a single line of disappointing text.
Yahtzee: Aw, I wish you hadn't said that.
Yahtzee: Aw, I wish you hadn't said that.
Nerd: You know what? I don't expect a good ending, either. Why work hard on creating an elaborate ending when you've made the game so hard to figure out that there's not a chance in hell anyone would get that far? In fact, I expect a shitty ending. A fucking loathsome, ass-sucking shit-heap of an ending!
Grandma: Oh! My dear Little Red Hood! Thank you for your coming!
Nerd: [drops controller and untwists a beer] You did not disappoint.

I sat around leveling for hours, spent eons waiting to heal, and all you do for the ending is say "Congratulations!"? More like "Congratulations! It's over!", or "Congratulations! You never have to play Hydlide again!", or "CONGRATULATIONS! Throw this cartridge into a garbage disposal!"

By the way, that text is the closest you're going to get to a satisfying ending around here.

Strong Bad: I made it, in 82 moves! And there was absolutely no reward! Are you freakin' kidding me?! There's nothing killer about that maze! That is the safest maze I've ever been inside of! Can't I at least get, like, a ASCII cackledemon as a reward? That would've been enough. I'm playing DOS games here, my expectations are only, like, ankle high!

It's done.
You finally, utterly, completely bested my training simulation.
As promised...
Here's your greatest reward:
My eternal gratitude.

Now...
Get out.
