If that 48 hours was rigid and could not be changed then i would perform a mass ritualistic suicide in a place like trafalger square. then if i a alive after would i would do the cliche thing and kill other people especially if i was immortal for that 48 hours.

Hmm, it's a tough question! If I had 48 hours to live, I'd probably say I was going away for a while - not get into many details, and have a huge leaving party. All friends and family would be invited, and generally just have an awesome night! I know this sounds a little crappy, seeing as I'm lieing to them, but if I said I had 48 hours to live I doubt it'd be too much fun.
Just chill out, listen to music, and go out with a smile on my face. :)

Eat all the chocolate and greasy foods I could while in front of the computer (yeah, can you tell that I don't like to live healthily?), then I'd kill myself just before I was about to die. I mean, it's much better to do it yourself... I guess?

i would borrow as much money from the bank as i could and then donate it to help 3rd world countrys (and save some for a great party)

Take out as many loans as possible, in as many countries as possible in a day; give it all to charity. Have a rocking party, with friends in the evening. Next day go out and assassinate some evil bastard like Mugabe or the Burmese leaders or someone-will be remembered in history, effectively still be alive :D

Alternatively do an adaptation of the Top Gear road trip to America; driving round the southern states with stuff like 'Nascar sucks' and 'Man Love Rules OK' written on my car, see how long it takes to get killed.

Break all the laws I've ever been tempted to break.

I'd also go to Oxford University... There's a bit of grass that you can get expelled for walking on. I'd take a dump there. Just because it's such a stupid rule.

That journey'd take a fair bit of my remaining time, so I'd probably do something weird on the train, just to freak everyone else out... or possibly brighten up their journey, depending on how soulless they are.

Oh yeah. And I'd punch Hugh Jackman.

SEX...with Asian women.

Finnaly get use out of the Tzvaihander sitting boredly next to the book case grab the cheapest vodka and convert it into a molotov that flies towards the annoying gas station that woke me up every morning in 5am for past 20 years. As for the sword let's say I'm not much of a fan of people. If someone tries to take me down I use the always fatefull Harakiri knife.

I don't really know. I guess I'd do one of two things.

Lock myself up in my room and panic.

Or I'd still have some sense. If that was the case I'd start doing all sorts of silly and offensive things. I'd strip naked and run around town, I'd steal things (just to see if I could get away), I'd dance on people's cars if they're stopped at any intersection that I'm near, I'd try out all manner of illegal drugs (were I able to procure them within the time frame), etc.

Oh, and if I could get my hands on a firearm, I'd go to a bank, get a bunch of hostages, chat with them for a bit, and then leave without doing anything. I've always really wanted to do that one.

And if I had time left, I'd post about how it all went.

EDIT: I'm finished editing now.

hot air balloon, sky dive, go swimming in the sea, play a game of football, watch the shawshank redemption, have dinner with family, spend time with them

I would purchase a DeLorean, fill it up with crates of nitroglicerine (or some other unstable chemical compound) and drive myself off a cliff.

Ya know, go out with a bang.

Dispense justice unto those who have evaded it. A swift kick in the nuts to those who have made the world a worse place. Feel my steel cap of justice. I'd also fortify myself in a news station and broadcast my feelings on whats wrong with the world, ie. insult every religion, race, gender, etc. on the planet, no one will be spared. I'll be quoted for years to come, "You're all a bunch of unreasonable dicks", obviously not you fine people here at the Escapist, though.

In my last hours, I would go and take my girlfriend and travel the world with her. And I would go and do everything that I have been wanting to do, like skydiving, bungee jumping, etc.

I would want to blow up something by pressing large red buttons.

I would try and make a Fireball, just to see if man did have magic once.

i dont know why you people think mass murder in a situation like this is childish, if the gore is like/better than resident evil 4 head smashing fun then bring it on! (lol)
ether that or continue to kill myself on this computer playing the game of sin.... WORLD OF WARCRAFT!
or do something silly (if you have seen the film called "accepted" then.... ask me about my wiener!)
^^

48 hours?

No, I need more time. I need to finish GTA IV? I mean, what happens to Niko? Does he finally get revenge? Will Roman or another close friend bite it? Will Roman ever pop the question to Mallorie?

I need to know!

i havent really put any thought into it, i mean im just going to respawn at the nearest hospital with 10% of my money removed aren't i?

Many Escapists here are more wasteful or muderous than I anticipated. The Latter being more surprising, while PurpleRain comes at a total lack thereof.

And if I would kill someone, it would be Ben Croshaw just to make stupid kids cry.

Voodoo Child:
I'd tell the people closest to me, get my affairs in order, and then find a way to be the scheduled centre of attention at a major public event at the end of the 48 hours.

"I'd like to thank each and every one of you for coming together with us on the most historic and prestigious day. Now, check this out!"

Probably that. Pull out an AK-47 and a couple of grenades and kill EVERYONE in the crowd. Besides that, I'd get my finances in order to insure my close ones's well being, and tell a crush I met a while ago about my true feelings. After my mass killing spree though, I'd douse myself in gasoline, light myself on fire and jump of a building with fireworks strapped to my back. AWESOME!!!!

PaintChips:
I would purchase a DeLorean, fill it up with crates of nitroglicerine (or some other unstable chemical compound) and drive myself off a cliff

Why off a cliff? Don't waste chemicals: drive into a crowded city area and KABAAAAAM!!!!

Edit: wait, sorry for this, but I forgot I had 48 hours. It wouldn't take that long to do all that. Before I go out in a big flame, I would be helpful. Y'know, nuke any country with a non-pronounceable name, pay some third world country $10,000 to rename itself "<Myname> loves Tits!" Also, do every kind of drug possible for me to get and (OK, actually only helpful thing here) sign up for every kind of testing possible. For products on humans. But before that, grab about $100,000,000, donate half to charity and pay hookers with the rest. I'm sorry, it's true.

I re-thought it. Y'know that glitch in Amazon that allowed you to see the names of the reviewers? Do that here and KILL YOU ALL!! Except Khell, I need to borrow his bomber.

EDIT: OK, this is all just BS, really, I'd tell all my loved ones I loved them, and get a tank with a lot of extra fuel. Some poor little boy's last words will be: "Mommy, can we go see the big green car? Mommy, can w---," BOOM!!!!!

Or make a company that sells "Dr>Breen's Private Reserve"

I would go on a nihilistic rampage and topple every center of religion in the world, ushering in an age of question that either brings ultimate enlightenment or sets civilization back two thousand years.

That or get laid.

Unless you KILL TOMORROW

But if we've learned anything from James Bond, tomorrow never dies

No, It's just that people don't die on tommorrow because then tomorrow is today, or yester day or cake... I do so enjoy cake!

but, THE CAKE IS A LIE! Don't tell me you didn't see that coming

Actually there really was cake, I just ate all of it before anyone else found it.

(It was lemon)

I actually thought you were making a reference to Cake, the band. More specifically, 'Building A Religion'.

Why have so few people suggested a party?! I'd throw a party on my last day alive!

Anarchemitis:
Or make a company that sells "Dr>Breen's Private Reserve"

Not really that private, though, is it?

firstly id sort things out with my mate. then id spend the first day with my friends and the second with my fammily.

honestly, i'd probably spend it with my girlfriend.

Get ridiculously smashed have an awesome time with my friends and probably end up taking home some girl that I would think twice about shaking hands with sober, the "I love you and goodbyes"'s to the appropriate people the next day, beat the living hell out of this ass hole at college, and go sky diving without a parachute at 5:59am on the last day. All while listening to various metal bands.

I would pretty much spend about 6 hours calling everyone I know and inviting them to a party at 8pm. I would empty my bank account and go rent a venue for the party. I would probably have an open dj booth where anyone could go in and put anything on, followed by an open, wellstocked bar (at this point Im probably out of money). I don't tell anyone what the party is for, or why Im throwing it. Just give everyone an awesome bash before I leave.

I'd steal the worlds priceless jewels, art, and artifacts and,

Make love to the woman I've dreamed of.

NOT sex. To be honest, there's something about impending death that's a huge turnoff (I'm no necropheliac).

I would do a whole lot of soul searching. I would find my friends from the past who I have had falling outs with and probably attempt to achieve forgiveness, as well as extending the olive branch.
I would go and meet up again with the girl who made my past, and tell her everything. Extend my thoughts, ask for hers. Get forgiveness, say goodbye.

The Girl who i hope will make my future however...
I would rent out a beautiful room (remember i said no sex) and ask her to meet me there in the last four or five hours of my life. I would ask her to preach to me. She is a very deep christian, while I myself am not, Though I am very spiritual. I think that me lying peacefully on the couch while she preaches to me from the bed in a beautiful room would be a great time to reflect on life, on my situation, and where I'm going. My last words would be very simple. I haven't thought exactly what they would be, but whatever they would be, they would be unique, they would be memorable by the only person that matters. They would be mine. The moment would be mine as I pass away.

I'm in the wrong country. Since I don't really have any loved ones in Japan and I probably wouldn't be able to visit them elsewhere on such short notice I'd just wreak utter mayhem here. (This decision may be influenced by the banality of my job and my boredom at the moment.) I'd steal something fast. It's easy here, people just leave their cars running. Or I could steal a new GTR from the Nissan dealership. Crash right through the big window. Mountain roads, little to no fear considering my time's up anyway. The Japanese police are pretty incompetent, so I could probably last 48 hours evading them.

first I would tell the love of my life how I feel about her, then I'd take the first non-stop back to my home town and see my family, and then to top it off I'd get SUPER out-of-my-mind stoned and sky dive with no parachute.

Well, as much fun as bombing major religious centers sound, or killing myself beforehand (on one tells me when I die and gets away with it), or general killing sprees, or sex, or the few actual reactions people threw out of denial and putting my affairs in order, screw all that, there's a Lamborghini dealership three miles up the road from me, and the interstate isn't much further. I don't have a destination in mind (I usually never do when it comes to road trips), but dammit, I'd get there quickly, and in style. Unless I pick a place too far away, in which case I'll probably glide into something (hopefully explosive) at 200 mph trying to get there, and that'd be awesome too.

Take acid and fly to California.

Seriously, that is the most enjoyable and logical option available to me, given my current life circumstances.

Now I just want to do it anyway :D
