3.) Random musings
1.) The Game
In this section are all the questions relating to the commander Keen games in general.
1.)Where did Keen's pogo stick come from? Clearly it is no mortal pogo.
Indeed it is not. Keen's pogo was an experimental model developed by NASA to aid astronauts in their exploration of alien landscapes. It has been specially constructed from durable materials to withstand even the most damaging of shocks. A small nub of kenetiofusive material in the base allows a person to pogo several times their height with a single bound, massively increasing their range.
The pogo in question, an experimental prototype was stolen by a group on Ninja Yorps known as the Go-Getim, on one of their many trips to earth to steal toys. It was then taken to the Wat De Hec holy shrine and blessed, imparting it with strange magical properties [it is now chrome plated]
2.) What keeps the points up in the air?
To understand this you need to have an understanding of basic Game theory, a ridiculously complex theory of the computer game multiverse involving 29-dimensional warped spacetime. To avoid this, we can say that points float due to particles known [rather imagineitively] as Itons. These particles are responsible for the floating, hovering, slow movement or sparkling, etc of collectable point items and any other items, such as health, that do not have a special effect. They are also responsible for the sparkles, point number, or sound these items make when 'got'.
3.) Does Commander Keen play any instruments (Musical, not instruments of tortore, death... just music)?
Yes, Keen plays the Clarinet, and rather well. He tried to learn piano, but wasn't very good at it. Besides, pianoes are large and expensive.
4.) Does Mortimer McMire ever rest?
No, he's insomniac, something that may have driven him to take over the universe.
5.) Is this smiley the result of an affair between Sonic's daughter, and keen - 
?
Of course not! Keens underage. The child in question was fathered by Mr Blaze when he accidentally used his sons transdimentionizer thinking it was a washing machine. The whole affair was confusing for both participants, but after the famous Mr Blaze forked over a few thousand and a car, all differences were settled.
6.) Who is this smiley supposed to be - 
?
That is Keens antipodean cousin. He's not really rastifarian, he just acts like it to pull chicks. [And as an excuse for dope smoking.] He and Keen have never met.
7.) Does 
+ 
= 
? Does + 
= 
?
Sadly, Keens father slept around a lot when younger.
8.) 4. What's up with this smilie 
?
Keen is a 'keen' football fan. He doesn't support the Packers you know.
9.) 1: How far along is Keen's education?
Keen is 8 and therefore in 3rd grade. However, in real terms Keen is far more advanced. He is currently taking a joint astrophysics and chemistry-engineering degree at Stanford Universtiy under the pseudonym Keen Werner [pronounced Keen Verner, a paradoy of Keen learner, just one of the puns Keen inserts into everyday speech, just to see how many people spot.] So far he has significantly contributed to humanities sum total of knowledge, with over two hundred papers written by 'Aykeen Stödent'
2.) Commander Keen 1: Invasion of the Vorticons!
1.) How the heck did pizza get to Mars? And what does it taste like?
Despite humanity's belief that pizza origionated on Earth, Martian pizza goes back almost twice as long, invented by the Garg philospoher Hu Wen Whai in M.D 2240 when, after ascending one of the peaks of Mars, he looked apon the face of the planet and thought of tomato sauce. Pizza has been made ever since, and makes up a staple part of the Martian diet.
As for flavour, Martian pizza is made with diced pat-pat, martian spices and Vleet [a cheese like fungus] It tastes rather like anchovy pizza on Earth, but with less sauce.
2.) How many cc's is the BWB's battery?
It is a standard 22500cc Lead-acid battery.
2.5) Commander Keen 4: Goodbye Galaxy!
1.) Are the dounuts in K4 from Dunkin Doughnuts, Honey Dipped Doughnuts, or some other brand?
They are produced by Vitacorp, along with most of the galaxies candy, from their base on Chungella IV.
2.)Is three-tooth lake really named after trident gum? I mean... a whole lake dedicated to that chewy, and delicous bubble gum?
Yes, yes it is. The trident company, after cornering the market in chewy-deliciousness, entered into an advertising contract with Vitacorp. In exchange for selling Sugar Stoopies on Earth, a major appropriate landmark on another planet would be named in their honour. Also, there was some legend about a water god who carried a pitchfork or something.
3.) . Why is the dopefish so impolite?(burp. )
Because its too stupid to remember table manners.
2.6) Commander Keen 5
1.) Why don't those little scot guys have arms?
It is an interesting fact that absolutely no form of life on Korath has ever evolved arms; nor ever needed to,making use of finger like toes and a prehensitile tounge.
2.8) Keen GBC
1.) Why is keen's shirt red in Keen GBC edition (was his pink shirt in the wash)?
No, however, Keen does have more than one shirt. Granted, most of his shirts are pink [He is not in the closet!] but he does have some others. His other shirt is a fetching blue color.
