What item in a video game would you buy in real life?

[Seydaman]

Mesmetron would be kinda fun too....

Wonder how many people you could hit with it at a rave before anyone noticed.

oh god...the hilarity

I like the idea of the Portal gun = infinite energy or a lucrative smuggling or military career.

North Korea launch a missile? Mr. Kim taken out the next day. Plus for every ransom by the Somali pirates I could offer recovery for less than half their ransom - a few surprise portal attacks and the piracy would end. That may be more convenient with some of the teleportation gimmicks in some video games.

Really though the item that makes the most sense to buy would be the save sphere (in whichever incarnation you wish). Have a bad day? Reset. Missed the lottery? Reset. Try to bum rush a world leader and become a bullet ridden ragdoll? Reset. You would always have a good day and be able to explore whichever possibilities ya wanted.

Even better - buy the savesphere and become a quantum physicist. (bad uncertainty principle joke here)

You wouldn't be able to access your file though. RL has no menu.

I'd make sure to get the IRL mod version then. It doesn't need a savefile it just goes back to where you last saved if you die or reset. Seeing that this is hypothetical I'd assume things would work as intended in our mental exercise.

You must remember that the Internet is Serious Business and there is no room for humor anywhere.

Anyways, this mod of yours intrests me, where can I fand the tools to get started, because I want tomorrow to start of with a chinchilla rugby game.

Hmmm one version of the mod involves tampering with the hard/wetware of the user- the user side of the user interface as it were- usually sufficient biochemical tampering would allow one to play whatever game they wanted to perceive themselves playing irl.

chinchilla rugby - hmmm could do that without mods if ya had the money - PETA would grief the game though.

That's why you need the mods, the chinchillas would be doing it of their own free will and PETA would have to let it continue. Pus, you wouldn't need to spend all the money on traning them.

I misunderstood chinchilla rugby- I assumed the chinchillas would be in lieu of the ball not the players.

You could have it both ways, it's a mod after all.

 

[Seydaman]

Auto-life from Final Fantasy.



...What else do you need?


And to whomever mentioned the Portal gun: While the Portal gun IS awesome, keep in mind you're not in the game, and gravity DOES hurt... A shitload.

of coarse it hurts! ...fucking gravity **shakes fist**

 

[similar.squirrel]

Samus Aran. Power Suit. Need I say more?
Also, her gender and physique. Allright, I've said it. I want to be Samus Aran.

 

[Nageck]

I would only take the portal gun if it came with those feet things that kept falls from hurting, otherwise I would probably kill myself (accidentally). So if I can't have that I guess I would want power armor from Fallout. Or Lincoln's hat.

 

[Agayek]

I'd definitely go with either the Dagger of Time, or a Dreadnaught from Warhammer 40k

 

[Shrubery]

Pokéballs anyone ?
and ofc the portal gun

 

[Avatar Roku]

Buffout, Jet, Psycho, Med X, Mentats, Healing Powder, Hypo.

Why would I need anything else ?

You know that those were all originally real drugs that they had to change the names of, right? (i.e, Jet is crack, Med X is morphine, etc)

Varia suit (male version with less boobage)

Yes. Definitely yes. Samus is badass, I'd love to be able to do the same thing.

 

[Syntax Man]

HK47 probably the funniest droid thing ever

or perhaps 1ups

 

[The Great JT]

In this order:

1. Supercharged Gravity Gun (Half-Life 2) (There is no Great JT...there is only The Claw.)
2. Red Drake mount (World of Warcraft) (Yeah, well I get to school ON THE WINGS OF A DRAGON!)
3. Tesla Power Armor & Helmet (Fallout 3) (Tesla Death Ray sold seperately.)

Honorable Mention: Ubersaw (Team Fortress 2) (SAW-ry!)

 

[Grayjack]

The Dark Energy Gravity Gun, Tesla Armor, Ragnaid, and the Portal Gun.

 

[Ghostkai]

an X-Wing


or a refilling health bar (which has become an essential part of any FPS )

 

[LockHeart]

The Darwinia network. I just think that having my own green little digital worshippers would be awesome, just have to train them up and unleash them on an unsuspecting internet....

Oh, and possibly FF7's Black Materia, just for a reeeaaalllly pissy day.

 

[Squeaksx]

Not sure if anyone has said this, but you know what? Fairies...I would buy fairies...You know why I would buy fairies? Because they fucking bring you back from the dead! By that equation fairies>BFG even.

Isn't a save sphere much like an infinite continue?

Yes, but you can't buy a save sphere STOOPID! :3
