it's the revival of the corrupt wish game (II)

[civman2000]

Granted. Now you have to hear my corruptions, MWAHAHAHAHA!

I wish it was Friday

[OzzyKP]

Granted. But you're now too disoriented to know I'm lying.

I wish people wouldn't thread-jack my threads: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...3&pagenumber=3

[Shogun Gunner]

People stop thread-jacking or even reading your threads.

I wish the Atari's CEO tripled the development budget for Civ4.

[OzzyKP]

The budget triples, which drives up the cost of the finished game. And it still sucks anyways.

I wish I could find a great way to download stuff online.

[Mr. Harley]

You do. You discover a security hole in your workplace's firewall, and download gleefully at megaBYTES per second. The RIAA finds out, tracks you down, sues you for $250,000, and the local federal prosecutor decides YOU are going to be the test case for criminal penalties. Did I mention you lose your job?

I hope the Civ 4 is released open source, with easily identifiable modules, resulting in dozens of variants and a great commercial success for Atari, completely revitalizing turn-based strategy games.

[civman2000]

Granted. Unfortunately, you suddenly lose your job and can't find another one as as a result can't afford it.

I wish temperatures where I live ranged only from 40 to 90 degrees farenheit.

[Shogun Gunner]

The temperatures now range between 40 and 90 F. Too bad it's only 40 OR 90, never inbetween. Enjoy!

I wish I always had interesting reading material when in the bathroom.

[Mr. Harley]

You have a stock of, ahem, INTERESTING magazines that your GF finds. She calls the police, you are arrested as a pervert, and even though you are eventually found innocent, your life is in shambles and you're black listed.

I wish a could translate "yeh, ehh ehh ehh" and all the other fascinating things my 10 month old says.

Granted. You can now understand everything he says. It turns out he hates you and is merely waiting for his motor functions to develop to the extent that he can pick up a knife and stab you with it repeatedly.

I wish I could run UFO Aftermath on my PC without it crashing. Ever.

[Shogun Gunner]

You run UFO Aftermath just fine on your PC, but a real UFO lands in your house and "crashes" your PC.

I wish there were more synomyns for "wish" than the five Bill Gates offers me through SHIFT-F7 in Microsoft Word.

[Mr. Harley]

You get the Oxford English Dictionary on disk. You realize the terrible things Gates is doing to business letter formats, dictionaries, and encyclopedias. You start a trend that eventually challenges the Windows hegenomy. With the loss of de facto standards, the Linux takles over and PC's become a geek thing again. Network televsion regains popularity, and an entire 1950's retro thing starts. Because of this "Leave it to Beaver, the Grandkids" becomes a new CBS hit. Realizing this is all your fault, you retire to a Shao-lin monastery.

I wish the Linux crowd would get there act together and make a common graphical interface my wife could use.

[self biased]

granted. microsoft buys linux.

i wish i had more free time to paint.

[self biased]

granted, but now i'll never actually finish anything.

i wish more people would participate in this thread.

[Ben Kenobi]

Granted.

So many people participate, that the cross-posts confuse everyone as to who wished for what and when. People later leave the thread in frusteration.

I wish Markos would allow us to post a babe thread.

[self biased]

granted. he already does, but it's the hot or not thread.

i wish more people understood the 100-0 game.
