  • Several endings of the "Can You Survive A Night on the Town With the Rat Pack?" Clickventure are surprisingly heartwarming.
You never end up seeing any Rat Pack members again, but you wish you do. You’d tell them that although they think they only lived for themselves, their impact on you was enormous. What they said just before the JFK assassination changed you for the best. You survived a night on the town with them, and it was the most important night of your life.

On your last day on earth, the day Joe DiMaggio dies, a piece of paper is slipped underneath your nursing room door. You never open it, but you can wager a guess as to what is contained inside:

“Nice job.”

You die, as any human is wont to do, but you die with the knowledge that your life meant something, not only to yourself, but to countless others. And that’s thanks to a certain famous, horrific group of showbiz men.

The Rat Pack.
  • "Legendary Collaboration: The Kid Who Plays 'Runes: The Card Game' And The Kid Who Eats Orange Peels Are Sitting Together In The Library" closely observes the actions of two young losers who are seemingly finding their First Friend in each other.
    So far, it seems like they've secured two seats at the table in the back of the reading area far away from anyone else, and they're really taking their time with an Eyewitness Book about reptiles. The kid who plays Runes seems to be steering the ship in terms of page-turning, while the kid who eats orange peels is doing a lot of pointing and whispering. Both of them are chewing on their sweatshirt drawstrings, and one of the Runes kid’s sandals is on the table for some reason, along with what appears to be an encyclopedia of Tintin that they haven't even cracked yet. And lunch just started. From the looks of it, they're in it for the long haul.

  • The love interest endings of You Are the World's Greatest Hacker, while clearly less than sincere, do have this:
    Congratulations, you have realized that love is more important than moneycredits! Before, you were merely the world’s greatest hacker, but now you’re also the world’s happiest hacker.

  • The uncharacteristically (comparatively) straightforward "It's Halloween! Can You Trick or Treat Your Way to a Massive Candy Haul?" has this as one of the possible endings:
    "Congratulations! You managed to trick-or-treat your way to a massive candy haul, but even better, you got on good terms with your sister. Candy comes and goes, but family is forever."

  • Your interactions with Pimento in "Sharpen Your Knives! Can You Beat the World's Greatest Chef In A Cooking Competition?"

  • The Oral History of Abbey Road:
    John Lennon: ...We grew up together. We fought a lot and we laughed a lot, and in the end the fighting won, but that doesn’t mean the laughing didn’t happen. And it’s the laughing I remember the most.
  • 5 Times I Went On Another Date With the Headless Guy Even Though I Promised My Friends I Wouldn't. The protagonist's friends are prejudiced against the (otherwise very prosaic) headless man she's seeing, but it becomes clear that their attitude is really the only thing getting in the way of the relationship, and she ultimately decides their opinions don't matter.
    He showed that there’s a lot more to him than just not having a head—he’s thoughtful, sincere, fun to be around, and surprisingly romantic. And, honestly, that’s pretty much all I’ve ever wanted in a potential partner. The whole not-having-a-head thing has turned out to be a non-issue, and I wish I hadn’t listened to my friends’ concerns about it for so long. I should’ve just listened to my heart, which feels very full whenever the Headless Guy is around.
