* ThisLoserIsYou: In classic GYG manner, one of the bad endings have you choosing to stay on earth to observe extraterrestrial life from the comfort of your home, rather than going to space to meet the aliens your grandma told you about. The book then says you're really unsuited for ''Give Yourself Goosebumps'', telling you to stick to ''nursery rhymes'' and come back when you stop being a wimp!
