I used to love Choose Your Own Adventure books. I think I read 20 of those things when I was a kid.
I used to put a bunch of fingers in between the pages to save the locations in those books, so that I can see what the other choices went to. I found that I did the same thing here with saving the links, until I found out that every "bad" choice seems to kill you. It suffers from a few common flaws that I found in some of those CYOA books: only one right path with every one killing you, and some of the choice descriptions aren't completely accurate.
Overall, a great experiment, but I wish they made it longer.

I actually saw a Choose Your Own Adventure DVD on sale at Blockbuster. It was in the $5 bin and I almost got it. I loved the books when I was a kid (still have a bunch of them) and I think it's a brilliant idea for the DVD format. Particularly Blu-Ray where they could do even more with it.
This is a great idea for YouTube. I hope it gets popular enough for a whole string of them to pop up. It would be neat to see how creative people get even if I have to wade through the tons of utter shit that's bound to pop up

I had a ton of them, too, and used to stick toilet paper at all the junctions. My mom donated all my old childrens books and toys, though.
