I seen this on some other forum when I was looking for something entirely different. Basically, what is is that someone says "I wish..." and then the next person says "Granted, but then so and so happens" and then they make a wish themselves. For instance:
Person 1: "I wish Rise Against lived in my house"
Person 2: "Granted. Unfortunately, fanboys and girls find out and take over your house. I wish for a perfect cheese sandwhcih". And so on.
I'll start off: I wish Tim McIlrath and Chester Bennington formed a band together to create the best band in existence - EVER!
Granted, but he finds a Death Note and... well, I'm sure you can imagine what Batman would be like with one of those.
I wish there was a movie focused on Deadpool.
granted, but with out his demented foes to fight all the time, people lose all interest in him and he loses all his powers/abilities and fame.
P.S. I wish my writers block would go away and never come back!
Granted, but you can't stop writing, even in your sleep. You write yourself to death.
I wish that I could will things into existence whenever I felt like it.
Granted, but using this power repeatedly causes a rip in space/time. (I know it's cliche, but all these reality warping powers can only lead to this conclusion).
I wish Marvel super heroes were real.
Granted but they all turn evil and destroy the world
I wish my favorite anime characters were real. (Edward Elric, Kyoya Ootori, L, ect.)
Granted, but they're real selves are nothing like their manga versions.
I wish Shonen Jump came out weekly in america.
Granted, but the prices are so extortionate no one can afford it.
I wish it rained chocolate.
granted but roaches begin to dominate the world and evnetually take over from the abundance of sweet food.
I wish I had a Keyblade.
which one would it be and what would you change about it? Also, why didnt you like the ending of the actual books? I'm just curious about people's answer to this one will be...
If I could change anything it would be the last book (breaking dawn) and make it so there was an acutal fight between the cullen's gang and the Volturi. I was really disappointed when there wasnt one.
116- Add 'and accidently staked Bella' to the end of your idea, and you've got the perfect ending.
OUCH!!! how could I have forgotten that?! Thank you...revising..."And Buffy staked Edward AND Bella, and then put a silver bullet in Jacob."
Sorry, I couldn't make it an accident, she doesn't deserve that courtesy..
I would make the ending of Twilight on the first page.
'Rocks fall, everyone dies. The end.'
They're really dense rocks, so even Edward with his sparkly fabulousness can't avoid being crushed by them. Also, they have veins of silver in them, in case the initial crushing doesn't end Jacob.
at the end of the first book, Edward would kill the girl and Jacob would be caught by a dog catcher and uh....the Doctor is sued for Malpractice and they're all burned at the stake for vampire-ism. Happily ever after
Problem: They can't be burned for vampire-ism...They're not vampire-y enough for it, they just wish they could be.
Fine, then they're burned at the stake because the whole world goes mad except for the vampires and werewolves but their power is weakened so they can't fight back when the humans capture them and burn them. BURN EDWARD BURN! YOU TOO JACOB! Is that better?
sorry, forgot to change the name back, in case you haven't noticed, that was me.
The ending is better. I guess as long as they all die, it's all good.
you know, I was just trying to have a pleasant chat about the ny anime fest. This was just as a way to find people to meet at that specific convention. I then get a reply saying: "wth is wrong with you there is a thread for conventions about an inch away jesus christ"
some pleasant chat. I am new to this website and I am looking to have pleasant chat. Excuse me for wanting to talk about a specific convention, asshole! If I had a penny for every person as over-reactive as that guy then I would be rich :)
well, i was mostly referring to people that comment solely to insult the person for something like not looking for a tread before creating a new one, or for ranting about someone who had done that (like in this case). As for people that actually have something productive, interesting, or not totally pointless to say, well, feel free to comment.
for example, >>3 his/her post was pretty much pointless and just sarcastic and slightly rude compared to >>4 who actually had something of interest to say. She was letting him know how the thread works instead of just yelling at Yoko's ignorance for being a new member.
I admit that it did seem hypocritical for me to say that without further explaining. Plus, I could have phrased it differently so it didn't seem like another pointless rant.
Why can't we all just get along?
'Slightly'? Tsk, tsk, must try harder...
Also, on the internet, people can't tell if one is nine, nineteen, or ninety-nine, so people will generally assume one is Old Enough To Know Better when one does something rather stupid. Newbs should be especially careful, because it's impossible to work out someone's age from their writing skill (or lack thereof) these days, and people don't have any other markers to go by. I use peoples' stubbornness as the main age-indicator, but it's not foolproof.
Hmmm, so you gauge a persons age mainly by his/her stubbornness? In that case, what would you guess my age to be? I'm curios.
@Marth- My consolations.
@13- Not very old, but older than some. I'd guess early-mid teens, but I have very little to base a guess on.
hmmmm, that's actually surprisingly accurate.
Is thread supposed to be a Joke or is it just accidental that someone posts a thread about the lack of 'pleasant' chat on the site and starts an 'unpleasant' argument.
The irony of this amuses me
just accidental. I bet this was originally meant to gain support for some fanbbs ettiquette...of course I could be wrong, or just missed the sarcasm somewhere.
Good news: He defeats the space monkeys and makes them his obedient minions for life. (and how the heck did I become the dad? I forfeit the title!)
Bad news: The Wicked Witch of the West likes the space monkeys better than her flying ones, and decides to steal them.
good news: The monkeys don't like the witch so they drop a house on her and go back to our main character (btw, what is his name?) and bring the flying monkeys along with them who also become life long minions to our yet-to-be-named-as-far-as-I-know main character
Bad news: His name is Edward. That means he is constantly harrassed by delusional Twilight fans.
Good News: He has a jetpack he uses whenever he needs to escape a Twihard.
Bad news: A particualrly intense Team Jacob fan has stolen a jetpack to chase after and kill him. With a butcher knife.
Good News: Being only fangirls of twilight, they have no capability of using jetpacks and end up either blowing up on takeoff, or running into each other and stabbing themselves.
Bad news: He's a blonde and his voice is similar to Vic Minyana's so he's also chased by delusional and crazed Fullmetal Alchemist fans (including my sister)
Bad news continued: He's also chased by Ouran Host Club fans, Tsubasa fans, and the occasional Vampire Knight fan. Am I forgetting any?
Good News: Being fullmetal alchemist fans, they actually have no knowledge of real science and still end up either blwoing up or stabbing themselves (only responding to the first one).
I am currently going through a bit of a Gondry (director) phase, and as beautiful as his films are, they're a very surreal and the endings are unclear.
So... out of curiousity, what is the most obscure/weird/unexplainable film you have ever watched?
The Fountain and Carolina ( which is also a book)
Ah, my favorite film of all time. I have to agree The Rocky Horror Picture Show is as strange as they come. However, who could resist a sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania?
It's a tie between 'The Attic Expeditions' (which I bet no on here has even heard of, but it's actually really good it just really messes with your head. I've watched it around 15 times over the last few years and shown it to several people...still don't get it, neither does anyone else) and 'Martyrs' (a French movie that I won't even bother to explain except that they misuse the word martyrs...not sure how you can do that, but they managed it). I recommend both, but be prepared to be scratching your head afterwards.
Oh and Deadgirl was weird, but also disturbing. Guys turn zombie girl into sex toy...wouldn't recommend if you're squeamish.
"Let the Right One Come In" is definitely the weirdest film I've ever seen. I actually enjoyed it, but I can't decide if the ending was happy or horrifying.
Anyway I'm looking forward to the remake.
I saw David Lynch's 'Blue Velvet' on Saturday...
What the hell?
It was a good film, but there are points where your mouth is hanging open, and you fear it will never close again. So very weird.
There was a film I watched when I was like eight...there were about twelve people trapped in a room with four doors. Old lady and some dude go through one door and are torn apart by spiky spinny thingy. Second door two lovers go through, make out and then turn into skeletons. Third door, evil mirror clones murder everyone else except guy and girl. Girl kills guy, escapes, gives gold thing to some people, and is then shot by them.
For the days when my parents didn't care what I watched.

>>71 The movie was rather good, though they left a few things out that I'd wanted to see in motion. Check out the book if you get a chance. (The ending is happy AND horrifying. Happy because it's happy, horrifying because of the implications.)
Weirdest movies:
I'm A Cyborg, But That's Okay
Donnie Darko
Mirrorworld (I think that was what it was called)
Deathbed: The Bed that Eats People (still trying to find a copy in the local rental places)
and a French movie in which a guy has no short term memories and his boss abuses that so she can have passionate sex with him in her office without him even knowing. They are literally screwing within the first five minutes. God bless the French.
I'm 17. I feel like a paedophile. But the games are so good and I can't just leave my neopet alone; she'd die! She's always hungry! She's hungry right now! I must feed her!
ITT: Things you're really too old for but can't help doing. But no use of the word 'lol' as self-conscious punctuation, please; it gets on my nerves.
Okay! Well, I don't have a Neopet, but I doubt you can be too old for anything...well, except for rides, but that's really it. But anything you do on the internet, no you can't be. So you aren't too old for Neopets.
17 is too old for Neopets........What the hell are neopets?
>>17 Neopets are virutal animals contained usually within a small keychain like electronic device. You basically care for them like you would a real pet, but take care of them from the comfort of the devince instead of actually buying food for the annoying dog, changing out the filter for fish, etc. etc. IN recent years though there are new venues to play with neopets such as game systems, online gaming etc.
Basically, think Pokemon or digimon.
Er... nope, that's Tamagotchi.
oops....I'm getting old....20, it's the new 80....
:P
So.....basically they're one of those teenage girl things that I will never understand, like Webmins.
Mostly, that's about right.
you're just everywhere aren't you?
Not everywhere...just most places.
close enough
If guys think girls are psycho and girls think guys are retarded, than this statesmen is assumed true: Girls are psycho and guys are retarded. Alright?
Nope, I genuinely think you're six years old. Prove me wrong, if you can.
sorry, but you're not aggravating enough to make me feel obliged to prove you wrong.
Sure. Whatever you say. We believe you.
Fine, believe me, don't believe me, honestly I don't really care because obviously unlike you, I am above this stupid game of "prove it". It's both annoying and pointless
Wow this thread went from wierd, to wierder, to angry, to just plain ugly...oops, sorry, that's just my mirror.
don't look at me, I might be the one who created this threat but I'm not the one with the bad attitude that has to result to petty name calling (for example, calling me six years old which isn't exactly name calling but you get the point)
@ 7 & 6: Might I point out that anonymous comment number 4 (me) and anonymous comment number 2 are different people, so your comment that I ignored your insult makes no sense.
You should also probably re-read what I said. I do not believe that all girls are smarter than guys. But in the situation you put forward (if every girl in the world DID think guys were retarded - which they obviously do not), then there would have to be a good reason for it and the most logical reason would be that girls would be smarter than guys.
Just thought I should clarify.
>>15 Kid, I'm just teasing you. Chill. Little boys are fun to wind up. If you have an older sibling, they've been slacking off.
I have something worse than an older sibling, I have a sibling the same age as me! You do not know the horrors!
And sorry, I don't pay much attention to the IP address ID thing, though I probably should start noticing that I admit.
OKay, some say life on Earth was an accident, Some say, we were created by a god or multiple gods, some explain it with science. With all these theories, no one knows for sure how we got here, so who's to say that whatever caused us to end up here, didn't sprout life on another planet? They did find frozen bacteria on Mars, suggesting the existence of previous life or hinting at future life.
I personally find it hard to believe that there isn't life on other planets. I mean, what are the odds that we're the only planet with any form of life in the entire expanse of this never ending universe?
oh wow, candy! Of course, I'll just do anything for candy. I'll take a guess that you're about ten.
First off, Anon's just being funny (I hope), no need to bash on him.
Secondly, I'll take a candy if you're offering.
Also, Vagrant summer was boring and on to the actual thread topic, of course there's life on other planets, just probably not within our current abilities to reach them.
Anyone who really thinks about it should realize it. Life might happen by accident, but happening once, means it's very plausible to happen somewhere else if the same conditions are met, heck, even if the conditions are different, it's possible.
I have a van with some puppies in it. Would you like to see the puppies?
I don't like puppies, or dogs in general for that matter.
Finally! Someone actually posts in this thread because of the actual topic!!! I've been sitting and waiting forever, who knew it would take so long?
Anyway, I totally agree with you on the life on other planet thing.
As for the book, I find it very good so far, but each person has their own opinion so I'll let it drop.
Here's one thing about other life to think of though. If other life reaches us first, what would that mean for us then?
Well, I think there is some scraps of evidence that they already have visited us but then again, it isn't exactly 100% reliable evidence.
I talked about it with other sci-fi nerds and we agreed that if we were visited, it could be bad on multiple levels.
1) As proven on this site, we can barely tolerate each other, how would we tolerate other sentient life that wasn't human, or not from Earth.
2)Being able to reach us implies high levels of technology and therefore they could wipe us out in a matter of hours.
Of course this is cynical thinking. Other ways of thinking could be that they come to beign enlightenment to us and bring peace on Earth.
There was an interesting article in the paper this morning about how humans are very close to being able to create black holes, and that there is new evidence pointing towards the long upheld sci-fi belief that a black hole is a portal to...somewhere. In this case, it could be to another universe. Therefore, even if there is no life in this particular universe, there may be another universe with life in... and our universe may have been created by them.
hmm, you know, that made me wonder about something. What if each universe is ultimately created for only one planet to be inhabited at a time? What if, when we finally kill this planet (which is bound to happen at the rate we're going) Life sprouts on another planet? And what if this has happened before?
What if Pluto used to be thriving with life but the life killed the planet and it ultimately froze over? Or maybe it was Mars since they found the frozen bacteria, or maybe Mars will be the planet to replace us. Maybe the universe is giving life multiple chances, in our case, eight (or nine) chances to achieve a balanced life that will thrive and not live at the expense of the planet.
The evidence is all circumstantial and I admit it's a pretty out-there idea but it's still a possibility.
so what are some of your favorite quotes from your favorite fandoms?
This one comes from the manga "History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi":
"Why can't the world just be more ero and peaceful..." Ma Kensei, Chapter 390.
'Deep down, they're just evil people.' Grandpa, Fruits Basket.

"A rose, can never be a lily, it will always be a rose"
Andre said that to Oscar when she said to him that "from now on I'll live like a man" in both Anime and Manga of Rose of the Versailles
"Ha, sanity, what would I do with something as useless as that? Lucky for me I never had any such thing!" Kempachi Zaraci from Bleech
"The day my father Odin banished me from Asgard, I was bitten by a vampire and had radioactive waste dumped into my eyes. To make matters worse, my mutant ability to control weather activated just as I was hit by a blast of gamma radiation. Nah, actually, I got this way by volunteering for the Weapon X program. They promised to cure my cancer. And they cured it all right, by giving me an outrageous healing factor. Then they labelled me psychotic and tossed me into a prison lab. So I escaped and became what some people might call a 'mercenary'. I prefer the title 'cleaner of the gene pool'." -Deadpool
>>6 you got right, I'll give you that, but you couldn't even get the series or character name right...but good quote nonetheless
>>7 Awesome quote from our favorite 4th wall character of Marvel in Ultimate Alliance 2 (I like his talk with the producer even more though).
"I recognize a quest for revenege when I see one. And revenge, I respect!" Samael, Darksiders.

"You're a bit premature."
"Kain!"
"Is there a crack in your omniscience after all, Moebius?"
uses staff, fails
"First your omniscience, and now your powers. You're slipping badly."
"This is not possible!"
"The part of me that staff affected is no longer in its place, but you already knew that, didn't you? I always was considered heartless...And now, Moebius, it is time."
"To kill me? Again? Your only solution, for every problem. Kill."
"This is NOT a debate. You see this time, you have nothing that I want."
impales Moebius
"You think this will matter? I serve one who has power over life and death."
Not from fandom, but a good quote nonetheless:
None so good that he has no faults,
None so wicked that he is worth naught.
-Norse proverb
"Even Fudou Yuusei killing me wouldn't kill me so easily." ~Plácido, from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. This shining gem came not long after he'd been torn in half by a crash.
Admittedly the /proper/ translation is more sensible, but it's also more boring.
"I laugh in the face of danger, then I hide until it goes away." Xander, Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
"I've got Black Magic, a hair trigger and a short fuse, bring it!" Black mage, 8 bit theater, episode 36.
Everyone has a show they absolutly worship! Mine's Bleach, beyond a doubt! I bow to an altar with my Seasons on it every day (not really, but i should...XD)
