So you are walking on the side walk one day....

[dsau]

id wait for the next genius idea that makes a shit load of money(like what bill gates did) and find the guy who came up with the idea. go back in time and find the project he is making. then id steal it while time is frozen. then send time back so the dude i stole it from thinks i was first. GENIUS

 

[TheMadTypist]

I might mess with some people, but I'd avoid giving away the fact I can mess with time ('cause then people will want the watch for themselves, yeah?) and mostly just use it to get extra time on pre-calc quizzes. She calls five minutes, I think I'd rather have... hmm... another hour.

That, and stay up all night computing, then freeze time and go to sleep. Wake up, start time up again, and go about my business.

I could save the world, make poverty and homelessness things of the past, and bring the cure for cancer back to my present, but I'd rather make my life more convenient in many small ways.

 

[crimsonshrouds]

A lot of things i've seen so far are petty and in bad taste.

I might pull a prank on someone but not something rediculous.

I must be the only person here with a conscious because i wouldn't steal but i don't know about being a hero...

 

[Superhyperactiveman]

I would rewind myself to kindergarten and relive my childhood, but use my knowledge of the future to avoid being awkward and constantly telling jokes that aren't funny. I would also stop every man-made disaster between now and then, somehow. I'd also make sure I did not date a certain woman who has made my life a living HELL!!!

 

[lasherman]

First, I would freeze time, then go to a department store, steal all the mannequins, take their clothes off (not in a kinky way, mind you) cover them in chunky tomato sauce, and hang them from the ceiling upside down. Unfreeze time for about 2 seconds, just long enough for people to notice, then freeze time again, take down the mannequins, clean everything back up and put the mannequins back where you took them from. Everyone in that store will be questioning their own sanity.

Also, a bunch of really simple things just to confuse people, like freeze time when a huge crowd of people are walking one way, and turn them all around, or go to a restaurant and mess with the busboys; as soon as they finish cleaning up a table put everything back exactly the way it was, over and over again.

 

[ubercow29]

I'm going to steal and eat all the pie in the world.

 

[lasherman]

Kill all Republicans, steal Left 4 Dead 2, Halo 3: ODST, Borderlands, go to the future and steal Mass Effect 2, Go to the future and play Star Wars: TOR, steal the PE Of MW2, and blow up all big corps. Oh, and take over Arete Seven (Doing business as Bungie, LLC)

Blow up big corporations? I'm pretty sure that would seriously screw your entire economy over.

 

[IxionIndustries]

Masturba----

...What?

OT: I'd probably kill some rich guy, and steal all of his stuff. I.D., money, car keys, everything..

 

[Pifflestick]

- Take whatever I want. Liquor, chocolate, diapers, videogames, books, clothing, etc.
- Find Vince Offers, pause time, and beat the crap out of him.
- Repaint the school in hot pink, violet, and baby blue.
- Repaint the principal in hot pink, violet, and baby blue.
- Drain all the liquor bottles in a liquor store and replace it with pee.
- Give Yahtzee a makeover.
- Fill a news anchors trousers with Jello while he's on live TV.

And lots more assorted mischief.

 

[CobaltBomber]

I'd screw with people on live television. I'd dye Oprah's hair 7 times in 3 minutes, replace the footballs with watermelon every kickoff, and just generally screw shit up. Oh, and I'd use it to go see five movies at once, while I'm also working, and playing Mass Effect 2 and 3.

 

[Housebroken Lunatic]

You've obviously never seen that episode of Twilight Zone where the guy got a watch that could control time. And having seen that episode, I would probably only use it when I absolutely HAD to screw with someone.

That reminds me of a mini series about the Author H.G Wells, where in one episode this scientist had created a tinticure that made him act faster than anyone else (a lot faster, which basically meant he stopped time all around him). The problem was that the effect of the tinticure increased every time, so once he used the tinticure too much the time stopped for too long around him and he began to grow really old but it all happened in the blink of an eye for eveyone else.

Sucks when you screw with time and time the proceeds to screw you back. : P

 

[Akai Shizuku]

I would simply resume playing video games. I would not press the button to resume time until I am on my death bed.

 

[A Weary Exile]

Stand on the grassy knoll at Kennedy's assassination with a gun and purposely have someone see me and take a picture, I'd also be wearing a clown suit. Then do the same at the MLK assassination, people will think there's some clown conspiracy.

 

[ddon]

I wouldn't do crimes. That's too damn predictable.
I would fuck with people.

I would take the guy's lawnmower and move it across the street. Then I would take the squirt guns and give them bananas instead.

same.

Blow up big corporations? I'm pretty sure that would seriously screw your entire economy over.

the thing about controlling time is you can do whatever you want and if something horrible happens from it you can just go back and do something else and all is well. so yea, it could ruin the economy but we could go back and change that.

 

[TheMadTypist]

I would simply resume playing video games. I would not press the button to resume time until I am on my death bed.

But you'd head forward to get the games of the future too, right? I can't imagine playing only the games I am now until the day I go.

And for me, most of those I play are multiplayer. Use the watch, get accused of speedhacking. Or some such thing. I'd use it for singleplayer games, though. I play those like I read books, it comes out as the same experience for me.

 

[Easily_Forgettable]

Do I age as I usually would?
If not then I would train myself to the the peak of human potential, and master every skill I ever wanted. If I do age find a way to stop my aging, but I'd still want to be able to be killed. Also play every Metal Gear game in one sitting

 

[Lexodus]

thank you for this thread! you've just reminded me of the best childhood programme ever! BERNARDS WATCH!

anyways ... i would rob a bank

I was friends with the son of the guy who wrote Bernard's Watch (Andrew Norriss, and his son was Johnny). That was cool

 

[edtroll]

I'd dominate at tag. I can see it now... they'd be running away and turn a corner... AND BAM! there I am

 

[Insanum]

I'd keep pressing the button at pedestrian crossings, Just to annoy the drivers.

Oh the fun i'd have with manakins.

And id go into a restraunt and swap all the plates round.

In a word, MISCHIEF.
