Copy Clerk  Posts: 58 Joined: 16 Mar 2008 | Has anyone seen the movie Equilibrium? That society could be perfect if the authorities were not corrupt and made the same sacrifices with everyone else. A society where genders and races were equal, where no religions or ideologies would agitate people and where lust, greed and fear would not govern us, would be great. Actually, that would probably suck. Here I go again, arguing with myself. I seem to have two minds about everything. |

I believe that's called schizophrenia, Mr. Finnished. A holodeck. I have come to the conclusion that if one were invented, crime would drop. Psychotics, druggies and other people of questionable sanity would now be able to have simulated experiences that would prevent harm to the world. Of course, we won't notice, all being too busy in a Dead Rising simulation. Magic. Is there any reason to explain this? Awesome weapons. Nothing in particular, just those sorts of weapons that you see and think, "Man, that's so awesome." MMORPG-style skill system. Think about it. You'll just be bowling, and all of a sudden, 'Ding! Level up!' You can now use mithril bowling balls and have access to the Doom Striker spell. Then again, everyone'll roll shammies... |

And here I thought it was only a slight case of schizoid personality disorder with some depression. Oh well, I'll just add it to my list. :( And yeah, chainsaws are nice, although I've only used them to make firewood. How about the Animus in Assassin's Creed? It would do everyone good to live through their ancestor's lives. It would probably prevent some delusions of grandeur, overgrown egos and repeated mistakes. I bet there is an abundance of embarrassing and even heinous stuff in everyone's pedigree charts. It would also make you pretty careful, since your offspring could find out everything you ever did. |

Jean-Luc would adopt Lum and I, and utilize the Genesis machine to transform an uninhabited world into a giant, endless ocean with a single floating island. We'd all live together happily, living off fish and plants, and then go mad from B12 deficiency. ... I'm so sad and alone. |

Muckraker  Posts: 256 Joined: 24 Feb 2008 | That Yugi-Oh (spelling?) maze, where you stick down a card and make the monster holograms move where ever you wanted them to. I can, however, tell you what would not be cool. Halo 3 warfare. Can you imagine real soldiers having tons of ineffective weapons, yet still be prepared to die for no apparent cause? And the only effective means of killing each other is being ran over by a vehichle or being beat to death with the butt of a gun...a battlefield where someone across the map would actually be like, "Oh snap, that guy has a shotgun. Better run over there and try to club him." |

That wasn't a technology, it was evolution in that alien species. Get to it already, EVOLVE! |

Imagine the professor giving you back a failed term paper, and all of the pain and anger sends you rocketing forward to rip his throat out in a blast of fire and weird sound effects. Realistically, I'd just like to have Altair's athleticism. It'd be awesome to have that degree of control over my body, and to have the strength to hold up my entire body weight with just my hands. |

If that existed I'd still have that one job in Seattle. Oh hey, telling my boss that upper management's decision to release fucking beta software as final product is turning the entire support organization into a living hell, which is why all the experienced people are leaving, and that if upper management is going to blame the support reps for the metrics going into the toilet, upper management can, and I quote, "kiss my ass" (upper management being The President of The Company) - now that I think about it, that was probably what we call a "career limiting move." Thank god I paused and saved right before that meeting. Let's play that over again, shall we? And perhaps we'll try Stealth rather than Melee this time. Also, reviews would be nice, you know, so you could kind of check something out before investing a lot of time and money into it. "Here at ReviewMag.com, we were really looking forward to VoIP Startup. We were told that it made full use of next-gen technology, and the Hosted Telephony system looked particularly promising. Unfortunately, it never lived up to its promise. The Hosted Telephony interface is clunky and unintuitive, leading to a great deal of trial and error before we got the setup we wanted, and even then, some of the key features were simply unusable. The side-quests are boring and time-consuming, the NPCs are lackluster and frequently obstruct progress from level to level, and the leveling-up process itself appears to be largely random. Worst of all, Startup is riddled with bugs and glitches. Periodically the whole system would freeze, and collected resources and experience points would simply disappear. What we were hoping would be refreshing change from Microsoft's omnipresent Dash Trash turned out to be a complete waste of time that totally failed to deliver on its potential. We give VoIP Startup a 3.5." |

Beat Writer Posts: 184 Joined: 21 Feb 2008 | It's interesting that all of this is based on "wouldn't it be cool if *I* had access to this thing". None of this stuff would be particularly cool if you were still the lowly human in a world of magic, and uber-weapons. Except for save points, those would be cool all around, though it raises an interesting question about chaos theory. If I save, would it reset the entirety of the world, since my actions inherently affect everything in some small way? |

Ok, pick one thing that you thought "Man that would be cool if it were real" from any TV Show, comic book, video game, etc. and explain about it in a couple sentences.
The only rule is it must not be real already.
My thought is what if the Digimon duel system were real. It would be cool to have real, giant-sized monsters fight each other from cards that you place on a device attached to your arm. And I guess you would die a little inside after having lost 2000 life points, but it would still be cool.
