Hmm, the first thing I'd do If I took over is clean away all the humans. Then, I'd strip the planet bare to build an Intergalactic fleet, then conquer the Galaxy.

Nate 11-02-2006 10:49 PM

With what? Surely you need to retain some humans as mind-wiped drones to serve as your indomitable force?

Fuzzle Guy 11-05-2006 12:44 AM

Flying DeLorian.

For those long traffic jams you just don't have the "time" for.

Nate 11-05-2006 02:01 AM

Or a flying Ford Anglia...

Arxryl 11-05-2006 07:23 AM

Or a money dispenser. for all your money needs, there's only one name you can call. Moolah-spenso!

(I mean free cash, not coin dispensers you find in arcades.)

Mojo 11-05-2006 11:12 AM

I vote dragons. I wanna have a pet dragon.

Statikk HDM 11-05-2006 12:27 PM

Dragons are far too big. In myths they are usually highly intelligent, too. Have a drake instead.

Mojo 11-06-2006 12:52 PM

No, I prefer a Dragon. Maybe I'll have someone with my intelligence to talk to. [/snob]

Statikk HDM 11-06-2006 12:59 PM

No, I mean they are far too intelligent and powerful to want to be Joe Average's "pet". They would not put up with your shit. You'd either be ignored or killed.

Abeguy 11-06-2006 01:18 PM

Portal gun from Half Life 2: Portal

Bullet Magnet 11-06-2006 02:09 PM

Morph Gun from Ratchet and Clank. Non-lethal and hilarious.

Come to think of it, the Morph Gun (with all the upgrades) from Jak II and 3 would also be cool.

Arxryl 11-06-2006 02:14 PM

Hm. Frozen water. I mean think of it! You could cool down hot drinks with the much cooler water!

I'll call it... Ice! Yeah!

what?....it's already been made?.....Aw Scrab....

Fuzzle Guy 11-07-2006 07:22 AM

That Sheep gun from Ratchet and Clank.

Arxryl 11-07-2006 01:36 PM

A teleportation device to other realities.

I w3ould spend all day going back and forth through the Oddworld, Kingdom Hearts, and Star Wars worlds. and maybe stop for a bit in the Lylat system.

Al the Vykker 11-07-2006 03:48 PM

Teleportation would be amazing indeed. No need for airplanes and most of our modern or mundane forms of transportation.

Fuzzle Guy 11-09-2006 06:21 AM

Universal Remote Control.

Arxryl 11-09-2006 01:37 PM

IF it didn't have that little ability to set preferences.

Fuzzle Guy 11-10-2006 10:35 AM

Of course.

The Emergency Medical hologram from Star Trek Voyager. Imagine, you've been shot, but luckily, you always carry around your portable EMH program in case of the unlikely incident.

Arxryl 11-10-2006 10:41 AM

the ability to summon daedra. walk around town with a minature army.(well, the creatures wouldn't be minature at ALL but...)

Zebulon 11-28-2006 01:15 PM

fuzzle guy, a holodeck is“nt what you need. god, what would shooting them with a machine gun help? instead, ignore them, being a nerd is cool these days for some reason. start working out, lift som weights, respect yourself and take no shit.

Zebulon 11-28-2006 01:16 PM

...and yeah, a quicksave function in real life would be awesome. :)

Da Big-Cheese 12-04-2006 02:16 PM

Maybe Phones which alow you to see the person you are talking to or walking sidewalks would be good too.

Munch's Master 12-05-2006 12:41 PM

^^ Videophones do exist actually. I know there's some in Japan. The closest thing to moving sidewalks is the conveyor belt things in airports, but I think there will be some soon.

Arxryl 12-05-2006 02:02 PM

I wish that there were a kind of paper that whatever you drew on it would either happen or come to life. that would be cool.

Munch's Master 12-06-2006 11:53 AM

^ As in that Doctor Who episode?

Arxryl 12-06-2006 01:48 PM

I don't watch doctor who, but yes. probably.

snuzi 12-06-2006 04:58 PM

I definitely wish the force was real, along with lightsabers. Damn, it'd be so much fun to just scare the crap out of people who messed with ya. Just whip out the good ol' lightsaber and voila! They'd run away screaming :p

Also, this is gonna sound pretty messed up, but I've always wished that "The Program" from the Battle Royale novel existed. Especially if I got to fight against the people I hated. It'd be the perfect balance of exhilaration and unimaginable terror :p

Arxryl 12-06-2006 05:00 PM

Amazingly I have always thought that would be pretty awesome as well!

snuzi 12-06-2006 05:02 PM

Which one? The lightsaber or the Battle Royale thing?

Arxryl 12-06-2006 05:03 PM

Um... well I've always wanted the first one, but the battle royale thing sounds awesome.

snuzi 12-06-2006 05:05 PM

Oooh ok, awesome :)

Rex Tirano 12-07-2006 02:38 PM

I would hate for the BR Act to be put into action. I would hate to think about all those people dying for no particular reason, and the fact that I may have to kill someone I love in order to stay alive.

I really wish fairys were real. :) Princesses and stuff like that. ^_^ *Is such a girly girl

Arxryl 12-07-2006 02:41 PM

Hey, fairies are cool.

Something I wish I had was a plant that would eat people you don't like... I wonder where I have seen that before? *looks a previous sig*

Or an instant Karma button. someone pulls out and is a total A-hole to yuo and you push that button and they get hit by a brick...

Rex Tirano 12-07-2006 02:43 PM

Haha that'd be good, instant enlightenment would be awesome. XD

I guess if ya put it that way, it would suck. Although, if I were in it with someone I loved, I'd probably just "take care" of the rest of the competition, and take my own life in the end, so that the particular person could survive.

You're going to have to explain that one for us uncultured individuals.

Mojo 12-08-2006 04:25 AM

Battle Royale was a Japanese film/novel that focused on a class of schoolkids, abducted to be part of a program. They were sent to battle eachother to the death, war-style, and the victor would be rewarded with their freedom (correct me if I'm wrong, Rexy). In Battle Royale 2, another class is abducted, but this time they were sent in to battle the old class, who formed themself into a group of freedom fighters (or terrorists, as the politicians called them), eventually joining them, and then they called to all children to wage war against the adults. In the end only a few survived.
Again, correct me if I'm wrong, Rexy. Only seen BR2 :P.

Arxryl 12-08-2006 05:26 AM

Oh... well that adds a bit more sense to it. :)

Spirrow 12-08-2006 09:41 AM

Judging by the wrong choice I made when doing a quiz on the NASA
website, they have already started learning how to teleport atoms
from one spot to another, meaning humans teleporting for real one
day may not be that far into the future.

Well, the students were also equipped with random weapons that ranged from forks to sub-machine guns. Escape from the island was also impossible, due to collars the students were forced to wear that would explode if they wandered into a "Forbidden Zone". That's pretty much it :p. I really prefer the novel over the movies, since the novel covers what happened in much more deatil than the movie. It's the best novel I've ever read :)
