ok i'll revise my action, just to see what happens,
i summon gman and board the ship

The Gman is not a low-level memetic being. The more widespread and powerful the meme is, the higher it's level. King Harkinan is a very low-level memetic being, Weegee is mid-level, and Chuck Norris is high level. The highest level would be something akin to god.

I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.

Qwertyuiopas: 3

On board King Harkinan's ship, you switch your macguffin detector on and scan for plot elements.

Dragnar:  4

You attempt to integrate the Protoss technology with TOAST Industries technology. You set off the anti-tamper, causing an ASCII rendition of a middle finger to appear on your implant screen, but you manage to make it work.
Your Item Magnet now has an increased range. But only when there's a pylon around.

Typoman: 2

You attempt to use your new powers to call upon the famed Half-Life 2 character, but he is too strong to call upon with your low levels.

You board the King's ship. Aboard, you decide to gather some information about the surrounding area. You receive a map from Gwonam.

Text:

Qwertyuiopas uses his scriptgun to scan for plot-related entities. There appears to be a plot-related object at the location marked on the map as "Thomas & Alfred's Pizza Hut". The main source of corruption appears to be located somewhere around Gamelon, as the King said.
Tehstefan: "You say there's something over in that Pizza Hut?"
Qwertyuiopas: "Something important. Typo, what can you make of this data?"
Typoman: "It feels like a weapon... Very powefull. A book or something."
Tehstefan: "Well, this boat is headed to that Gamelon place... I suppose we'll head there to take a look at the entity we're going to have to kill, then head over to collect that weapon. We're probably going to need it to destroy the entity..."
Typoman: "I bet that wizard guy knows alot about powerful books and stuff. Where is he?"
Tehstefan: "Ummm... ExKirby killed him."
*awkward pause*

What? TOAST is in this world too? I thought they were just part of that one world. Hmm...

I summon a protoss plasma turret on the ship.(should be possible, as long as I have a nearby pylon... though pylons usually aren't mobile.)

Well, they are a corporation. Having one store and selling things through a catalog might work for Cabellas, but TOAST has to go and sell their stuff. Whose going to order nukes from a catalog?

Oops.
They always looked humanoid in the Google image search.

Ah, it seems I have underestimated the degree to which the worlds interact. I had thought our reality hopping was something out of the ordinary and rare.

Occasionally, have a cake preceede the user exiting, but the cake disappears shortly after, because everyone knows that The Cake Is A Lie.

Well, let me write some stuff.

A few hundred years after the simulation was started, Risus was having a hard time keeping everyone entertained.
Risus: "Ordo."
Ordo: "What?"
Risus: "I need to ask you something."
Ordo: "No."
Risus: "I'm having trouble keeping everyone entertained..."
Ordo: "No."
Animos: "Listen to him."
Ordo: "Fine..."
Risus: "I was thinking, you know how everyone's always saying that since the simulation isn't really "real" we can just feed everybody for free and stuff?"
Ordo: "..."
Risus: "Well, I was thinking, since everything's a simulation and all, why don't we make all those fictional universes that everyone already daydreams about..."
Abeo: ":D"
Risus: "And make them "real", so they can explore them. And I can do my job."
Ordo: *grumble*
Animos: "I think it's a good idea."
Ordo: "Oh fine..."
Animos: "I'll sort out all the infrastructure problems."

And from that point on you could just enter another universe by going far enough in any direction.

EDIT:

And there's also the fact that TOAST has the Awesome Portals.

Well geez, don't overreact. I'm sarcastic, it's my nature. Just how my communications form. Inherent in my nature. I'm not trying to be offensive. It's like, humorous and stuff. You're the most interesting character in this game :(.

well use some emoticons or something to signify it as such, my end it just looked like you were being an ass (i reccomend :P )

i revoke my action while i think of a new one

hmm it seems my action before reforged my powers.  because i assumed all that had happened is my neck was better, i didn't want to go near yellow vans, and i had failed to do what i wanted. i had no other injuries, i didn't read my status as i didn't think anything significant had changed

ok if sains stare is what i think it is (this?)... i have no idea what it would actually do, lets find out :D

i stains stare at gamelon
