What would you do with it?

Am I the only person interested in some quality alone time?

Can you eat in a holodeck?

Three words: Dinosaurs, Ninjas, and Flamethrowers.

Larenxis:

You can do anything you'd normally be able to. It's simulated reality.

Considering all of the problems that Holodecks have had over the years, I'd pull out a good book and read it. Outside the holodeck.

Why would you that when you can read a holomatter book?

Sex and Battletech. Always wanted to play Battletech from a 'Mech cockpit instead of just a computer screen.

Amen... yes whores & 'Mechs. It's not cheating if they're not real is it??? ;)

General Mostly Electrified Steel:

Because it might malfunction and try to attack me, that's why. I prefer books that don't break your spine.

I'd be more worried about the security protocol not considering a papercut dangerous...

And then you don't turn into sick bay, get staph, and die.

i would probably put myself and some friends in a zombie/resident evil situation. just to settle that universal "what would you do if zombies attacked?" arguement. (if not that then whores )

Something to do with red hair and freckles.. or.. no, I think I have a list. Yet. Wouldn't that leave content creators in a marvelous position? Sculpting perfect realities for people.

It's a bit weird, though, that I feel mentioning sex makes me sound slightly immature whereas answering 'ninja's' or 'zombies' would be normal. Though then again I do think that when I ask non-games the sex answer would be quite common and normal and zombies would be immature.

Almost feel like a Peter F. Hamilton type of future now.

I'd probably put myself in CoD4 or any other game i have.

Racing at 100mph in burnout and then crashing, flying 200ft across and smashing down on the ground, skidding along the pavement and surviving would seriuosly be awesome.

And virtual sex...obviuosly.

I'd create deathcamps for idiots,forum trolls,Emos,etc. basically people I can't stand and laugh Evilly while wearing a monocle, top hat, and with a curly thin mustache as my automatic guillotine makes short work of them all.

Then I'd have an army of pirates fighting an army of ninja(s?).

See, here's where it gets freaky.

I'd write myself a program that lets me walk around in space. But special, empty space. EVE space, only without the planets and structures and ships.

Real people don't really figure in where I'd like to be, but I wouldn't really consider myself an introvert.

Am I so cold and alone?

Because it could malfunction and you would be stuck in the holodeck for all eternity with the books eternally out of focus.

If I could, I would drive every car that I have ever dreamed of. Then, when I had a favorite, I would drive it on every track, through every city, and in every country. Maybe a little virtual sex after I had played all of my favorite games in full 3D

Darth Mobius:

Or you could be reading Bee-Wolf, and well, Voyager taught us the outcome of those situations.

Id make a holodeck in the holodeck, and then make another holodeck in that holodeck, just to see how many holodecks I could put in the holodeck.

I'd use it for general relaxation, gaming, and obviously, sex. prefferaby, combo the sex with the gaming.

I'd re-create some of my favorite RPG worlds, mostly fantasy and Science Fiction. It would be the near-perfect form of non-pen-and-paper D&D. Larping, but not...lame.

Zombie Apocalypse scenarios would be tremendous fun as well.

Sex. Definitely. I'm thinking thick dark hair, medium height, big hips, big eyes, round face. As intelligent as the AI can manage. Generic pale skin/red hair/green eyes would also be acceptable.

I'd make an enormous HabiTrail for myself and then run around in it naked.

General Mostly Electrified Steel:

Satan, young Schwarzenneager and I would travel through time destroying facist troll pigs such as yourself.

Then, after we have slain Hitler we would pause for man-sex just before beginning the mass slaying of everyone's virtual mothers and or sisters.
After about a good seven hours I would grow bored, make a virtual copy of myself three times. Command two of the copies to make love to each other while the last copy and I battle Mortal Kombat style wearing nothing but speedos emblazoned with Swastikas.

A good eighteen hours would pass and I'd then simply create holodecks inside said holodeck until the universe collapsed.
If I was still alive I would drift through emptyness in a maddening, lonely, peace.
I am he who is called "I am."

Aside from sex, venting anger on simulated cats, and the aforementioned Battletech reinactments, I think the next most enjoyable thing for a holodeck would be to play "Godzilla" for hours on end. I'd be Godzilla, and there's no military to oppose me, just civies.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Seriously, fun idea.

I'd kill if that's what it took to get hold of a holodeck... The possibilities are endless- I'd simulate a huge place like in Oblivion and just hunt and generally have fun. It's like making every possible game come true! Imagine the fun you can have using the Portal Gun... ^_^

Khell_Sennet:

First of all, thank you for the RoboCop reference. I'll say this and nobody will get it even though they've watched the film, it's ridiculous.

Okay, now to the virtual reality. I would make a duplicate of myself and together we would discover a world of culinary delights, as well as make a really great band with all the keytars I want (they don't sell them anymore, and I want one), and of course, make out. I'm not gay, but it wouldn't matter. I really like reality, so I would just use it to get the resources I can't get in real life, like a tutor or a giant trampoline. Oh! And I'd like to experience flying over downtown on a rainy night.

The day that yahtzee fears would finally arrive, where virtual sex replaces real sex and the human race is gone within one generation.

I'd play XBOX

Who cares? Humanity sucks, and VR sex is awesome.

Yeah im staying the hell away from VR...

I dont go outside enough as it is

I think only the generation of cool people is gone within one generation, leaving behind a mass of religious opposed and people who couldn't afford spending the rest of their firtile lives in the virtual arms of pleasure.

We'll all download into ANA in the end. Que another Peter F Hamilton reference.

zen5887:

What's an outside?

I'd play D&D. Maybe do some Die Hard or Resident Evil style play. But mostly, just hang out with my virtual or real friends, play D&D, work out in a place where everybody says I have a great body and really thinks it.

Oh, and I'd create my own Legend of Zelda adventure. Heck yeah.

I'd probably start by running some crazy "what-if" scenarios, like "what if I were president?", or "what if I ran the biggest corporation in the world?", or "what if I were an intelligent super potato?" Wait, that last one is just plain silly.

Barring that, I'd probably just make a D&D like fantasy world and explore. Or recreate some of my favorite games and play around in those.
