Every kids dream!

Continuing my Humongous Summer Games block, I return to the Pajama Sam series with "You are what you eat from your head to your feet".

We see Pajama Sam eating... a shit load of cookies... too many cookies. Oh yeah he's a kid. Of course. Apparently he was collecting box tops to get a free action figure. Go... figure. But suddenly... the cookies from the last box jump out and run off... because that's somehow possible? After finding Sam's cake, we head to the pantry. I guess all the food talks here. Once the pantry door shuts, Sam is suddenly taken to a food party. A party... with food. No... really... Giant food partying on the ground. I don't think those were just regular chocolate chip cookies. After eating a big ass cake in front of the food, and finding out the welcome banner wasn't a typo, it seems all the other food got pissed at Sam for wanting to leave to eat broccoli. Yeah I can see why. And if you like broccoli, then quite frankly, you are a fucking loser. And that's the cold hard truth. (Okay I can put a pass on cooked broccoli). Anyways, Sam is put in a candy jail, joining a... well... piece of broccoli! Oh yeah the collectables in this game are box tops. How they somehow got scattered around this food world is beyond me.

I collect a bon bon before talking to Florette. The piece of broccoli. Seems like the sweet foods don't get along with the healthy foods. I can see why. So they jail bars... yeah they're made of candy cane. Which are easily breakable. I grab a good sized piece. After throwing a bon bon at the key and then collecting it with the cane, I'm able to let myself and Florette out. Turns out Florette is supposed to be at a delicates peace conference at the food pyramid. Which I also head over to... okay that is my only choice since the other path is guarded by little sweet rolls. In the food pyramid, I seem to approach some war room with a carrot and the general. So apparently the island of mop top is in trouble. So much fatty and sweety is taking over. And the general wants to declare war. And the peace group is made up of one food from each category. Where hopefully they can discuss and agree differences. However... only 2 of the 6 showed up. They need my help to find Chuck Cheddar, Bean 47, Granny Smith, and Pierre... some last name I won't try to spell.

The next room is the peace conference. Currently holding Florette and Luke, part of the sweets group. There's not much to do there so far besides just talk to the 2. Moving on. There's a library with... what I assume is an onion. Given that they're crying about a book they're reading. A sad story. Named Passion in Pittsburgh. Which almost sounds like a pornographic. Oh wait... it is... wait... huh? Okay well there's a real book called "Artistically Bound: Passion in Pittsburgh". Which is a sexually explicit story. Obviously I don't believe there was intent and I think it was more of a coincidence. Also plus Pajama Sam 3 was released in 2000 and the book was published in 2008. So yeah. A coincidence. Although the onion does mention love in the novel... ahem... so... the candy roll guards have head off so I am able to head into the forest. Where I come across a donut rope swing! And yes, the donut talks. There's also a sign with eyes that track your mouse. Which to me... is stupidly creepy. To the left is this big... machine looking thing with binocular eyes, guarded by gourds. They won't easily let me in. it's gourds only... or guards only... Potato Patato. The gourds don't seem to be the brightest in the toolshed. But they're smart enough to not let me in.

Going in the opposite path, I seem to come across these little fruit gummy candies doing mining. Their progress seems to be very slow. However I seem to end their misery by blowing the train horn to let them quit for the day. Cool! Now that I can go up, I meet some wise elder fortune cookie dude. Okay I don't know if I could call him wise. He's more of a ponderer. He also possesses a horn that... has seen better days. But still works. Given that when Sam blew into it, it was quite loud. Though the fortune cookie, or Syllabus didn't seem to like that. To the right is a Gondola which Sam rides over to discover Chuck Cheddar. Whose balloon got stuck in a cotton candy cloud and needs weight to set it down. Can I just jump into the balloon? Nope. This cheese prick literally calls Sam fat... okay to be fair Sam did eat like 19 boxes of cookies, a big ass cake, and a candy cane... yeah Sam is fat. At the end of the path is a self service ski station. There is a map of the routes but they all go the same finish. I enjoy my ride down the mountain and Sam finds himself head first after the ride. At least it was a soft landing.

After that however, like some other Humongous games I've played, I am once again in a "where in the absolute fuck do I go?" situation. No, skiing down the mountain over and over and over again didn't do a damn thing. And yes I could've looked it up. But this is a Humongous game for crying out loud. It turns out it was as fucking easy as disconnecting the rope from the donut swing so I could get to the condiments tree. Which contains a big variety. But I can only carry one at a time. And it's unclear which specific one I need. After circling around a little more, I stumble upon an area to the right in the lake which I just accidentally found. There seems to be an egg... thing guarding a dead end made of what I assume are french fries. And this was where I ended off for the night. Thankfully once you know what to do, it's actually pretty easy to speedrun the game since that's what I had to do actually. Since during my playthrough, I came across some weird ass bug where I couldn't access my menu at the bottom. Typically by putting my cursor at the bottom of the screen to reveal my inventory and menu. But suddenly it just... wouldn't show up. And I had no choice but to restart the game.

And now every time I advance a scene I will be saving because now I am horrified of it just not showing up again someday.
