Three years on... what would be your three wishes?

[JoJo]

Good evening Escapists, today it is a full three years since I joined the Escapist and so as is customary here is my three year thread. Little did I know on 31st March 2010 when I joined the Escapist forums to comment on a "three wishes" thread that this site would become such a great part of my life. You have all given this old diving suit a second home online and so thank you for that.

Okay, enough about me. In the spirit of the first thread I ever posted in, I ask you: what would be your three wishes if offered them by a genie / lepracharm / mod etc? There are just two rules:

1) No wishing for more wishes!

2) You must wish for something which could be hypothetically possible in real life, i.e. no wishing to become a super-powered god. Something ridiculous but possible like bringing a allosarus back to life using science(!) is permittable.

So, what would be your wishes Escapists?

 

[Keoul]

What about wishing for all the powers of said genie/lepracharm/mod? That considered super-powered god?

If so then give me the power to have eyes like a hawk, perfect vision and able to notice even subtle changes. Total, complete control over every single function of my body, which would be pretty damn handy. And finally I'll just wish to be the luckiest guy in the world, that's an okay wish right?

The eagle thing can totally be done with science and bio-technology!

EDIT: Holy shit I just realized I've had this account for about 3 years as well now... made it on the 4th of April.

Okay captain I'll bite. Here are my wishes.

1.) Abolishment of rules limiting the scope of my wishes

2.) A peanut butter and jelly sandwhich... THE BEST DAMN PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWHICH!

3.) More wishes!

...Come at me bro XD

Anyway, congratulations on Disguising your landmark/post count/circle jerk thread your accomplishments while here. You're the best damn big daddy I ever met and I hope to see you here gracing us with your insightful and funny posts for three more years.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I doubt it's really possible (very much so), but that drug from Limitless? Yeah. get me that. The other two wishes don't really matter. Say, a new bass?

 

[PsychicTaco115]

1. Infinite money!

2. Immortality! (It's possible, slow down the aging process!)

3. I'd keep this one on the backburner, in case some interstellar s**t went down

Three years? Damn, time flies when you're under the ocean >.>

 

[lRookiel]

1: Enhanced senses

2: Infinite wealth so I can live a comfortable life without the need to work.

3: Immortality or atleast an extended lifespan

 

[Random Argument Man]

Well if we wish for more wishes, can we wish to have means to so we can get other wishes? (If a genie said "No infinite wishes", I'm going to "infinite genies")

No? Oh well...

1. A large sum of money with no one questioning about it. Don't want those pesky authorities getting to me.
2. The ability to convince anyone when I will it.
3. When I die, I want to relive my life knowing all the stuff that I've learned from this one. Yes, including how to get those two previous wishes to begin with.


Extra:
-Firefly was not cancelled.
-I'd get the hair that I lost back. (Seriously, I'm 23 and I loss a lot).
-A possibility to create my own movie with a big budget.
-"Selected hollywood crush" as my girlfriend.
-A cure for jealousy issues.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

1. I would wish to never sustain an injury or be party to any illness or disease again.

2. The ability to automatically get any job which I apply for.

3. Intense charisma.

 

[Evil Smurf]

1. I'd like a kitten
2. I'd like a coffee date with lisa Foiles
3. I'd like to go to the next Escapist Expo

I WANT TO SE ALL MY ESCAPIST FRIENDS IRL

 

[SirPlindington]

Omniscience. Ya see, Through theoretically possible infinite research, we discover all that is possible to know, including (theoretically possible!) time travel, at which point we go back in time and upload it into my brain using the aforementioned technology made from magic future knowledge. I then solve all the world's problems, colonize space, resurrect dinosaurs, Jesus, Dinosaur-Jesus, Liberace, and Dinosaur-Liberace, and become a nigh-immortal God-King who has space parties all day with flamboyant pianists, divine messiahs, and the giant reptilian counterparts of the aforementioned pianists and messiahs. So suck it.

Oh, and I guess I use the other two wishes to...

Create a bag of the most delicious popcorn that refills infinitely and teach myself how to dance Sarabandes. I dunno.

 

[excalipoor]

1. To attain world peace.

2. To cure world hunger.

3. To become a beauty queen.

I just realized that my account is a day older than yours

OT: My 3 wishes would be:
1. Stop procrastinating
2. ...
I'll think of some more wishes later.

 

[BathorysGraveland2]

Hmm, there is one wish that will be set in fucking stone for me, no matter what.

1: To never fall ill or become sick again. This would range from common annoyances such as stomach aches and colds, to greater things like STDs. < That would be one amazing wish to turn into reality.

2: To be granted the level of charm that is required to sweet-talk pretty much any woman on the planet, from celebrity to a chick down the road, to... well, you know. < Yes it's perverted and I'm a horrible person and all that, but it would be too damn amazing to pass up.

As for the third wish, I dunno. Maybe something generic like an absolute fucktonne of money? Money brings pleasure and happiness into the world for they who own it. So I guess it would be the smart choice. So yeah, probably money being my third wish.

 

[SD-Fiend]

1. Have amazing artistic ability.
2. Get reality bending computer programs that look suspiciously like faeries.
3. Screw the genie I have magic! science so advanced it's indistinguishable from magic!

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

1) The opportunity to make enough money to live a comfortable life literally just playing video games that I want to play.
2) An ideal partner with whom I can spend my life.
3) The ability to fall asleep and dream lucidly whenever and however long I please, down to the second.

Let's see... That gives me money, affection, free time, comfort and sleep in which I can act out my wildest fantasies. I think I'm set.

 

[norashepard]

I would wish for a completely functioning space ship that runs on an easy to find and renewable fuel source.

And then I would wish for a completely functioning space suit that would allow me to withstand the worst of what the universe can throw at it (minus black holes of course).

Lastly, I would wish for more non white people on the front page of this site. Seriously. Every single person is white. Except the Rock? He's basically white so he doesn't count. Even Isabela from Da2 has been whitewashed and it kind of bothers me a lot.

And if I could have that last one, I would wish I knew how to change my voice to whatever I wanted to at any time, so I could mess with people.

EDIT: The Rock is Samoan, so there is in fact one PoC on the frontpage!

 

[excalipoor]

Except the Rock? He's basically white so he doesn't count.

EDIT: The Rock is Samoan, so there is in fact one PoC on the frontpage!

Half Samoan/half Black Canadian actually.

Spoiler: Meet Rocky Sr.

First off: Wow. Would not want to fight that guy.

Second: Groovy! My wish has been double granted. Kind of! (Triple if you count Canadians as PoCs. Which some places do for some reason.)

 

[Alex Graves]

Lots of money going around in here, gratz on the 3 years ya nautical bastard. As for wishes hmm....

1. I'll get the selfish one out of the way first, At-fucking-lantis whatever it was it's mine now either they had great knowledge on seafaring/agricultural technology (for their time) which will be nice to document and have in the history books. That, or they were aliens and have technology that dwarfs (and will dwarf for some time) all the tech we have today.

2. Screw world peace because as we all now "war, war never changes". I'd go for a social/technological jump in the average human mind (so the cave-dwelling majority can be somewhat on par with the rest of us), mostly to get backwards morons to at least stop killing people, I don't care about the funny looks you give me or the name calling just leave the shooting/stabing/andsomeotherthirdthing at your house away from the innocent please. Also the tech jump so we can, A. colonize space already, seriously how is that not done yet? B. Get medical, surgical, and other such things to a point were you no longer even have a "chance" of dying on the table (also more research into stem cells sounds nice). C. Better knowledge of the human body to allow correction of birth defects ranging from physical/mental deformation to the incomplete or incorrect gene wash of the mind or body during pregnancy.

3. Well....I sort of rambled off on 2 and lost track of what 3 was going to be...I'll save it for later then I guess...wait has anyone said it? No really? (Gonna be ninja'd when I refresh I'm sure) It's mine then motherfucking Iron-Man with the tech jump from wish 2 we would be more then advanced enough for an armored suit like that. Mine, mine, mine not yours mine. Give it, give it now. Gimme the suit.
