A Wish List for Real Life


Gamer Life General Discussion

1 to 50 of 51 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | next > last >>

With the coming of our Paizo wish list, I've been inspired to make this thread.

Mine: Every time I'd yell "STEL-LA!", my woman would bring me a beer.

Spoiler:
Seriously, never gonna happen. But like I said, it's a WISH list.

So, what's yours? Rub the magic thread and post.

Sovereign Court

Autumn leaves would instantly disintegrate when they landed on my lawn.


My house would magically clean itself every night.

Liberty's Edge

I wish I could instantly know which females of the species were interested in me.

Every 100th autumn leave landing on Callous Jack's lawn would explode with window shaking force ... just to keep him on his toes.


He says real life and you all employ magic.

Gamers.

Then again, he did say rub the magic thre... HEY! What's the magic thread that we're all rubbing refer to?!

I would never know when a female of the species was interested in me. ... Being married is hard work.

Pssst. Which species are we talking about, BTW?

Hey, wishing I was Mel Gibson in ...that movie isn't magic!


Like Tennessee Williams I wish for a glass ménage à trois.

What?

It's what, you say?

What's a menagerie?

OH!

<:| Nevermind.

That Gary Teter finds a way to enchant the Paizo site so that it appears to be very serious work when any non-gamer looks at it.

Dark Archive

That Paizo hires me to write modules and short stories.

Yes I said "MODULES"!

I'm old.

Get over it!!

Get off my lawn too!!

Creepy coincidence. I'm currently in rehearsals for a local theatre production of "The Glass Menagerie."

Are you acting or crew? If you're acting, are you playing Jim or Tom?

No you won't. You are you're own worst critic, remember. We all have faith in you. And if we lived closer we'd come sit in the audience and throw peanuts at all the other actors.

Jade - I'm in the process of sending a missive once the web(site) in which I'm tangled gets cut free. :)

EDIT for on-topic: Wishing there were more than 24 hours in a day.

I wish that Jim Morrison would write some new songs.


I wish I had the ability to send files to myself through time.

Grand Lodge

Having some form of musical talent would have been nice.

If I may, why do you think you'll suck? Is your line retention good?

I'm a director. If you like we can probably accomplish some very attainable goals through conversation. I'm happy to send you my phone number.

That I could translate my 8 week old son's crying into English.

Cheers! :D

Pssst. Shiney, watch out for Jade's casting couch.

Also, don't be surprised if he asks to be called Mr. DeVille the whole time.

I was going to say Mr. Demille, but I suppose I do my best actor molestin' in a DeVille, so that works too.

Not being in the room with the actors doesn't make for easy direction, but I have a few tricks that might help him lock into the role confidently.

Son: "Gurble gurble blah wah... Um, father... Real estate is still a good investment if you know what you're doing. In today's troubled world markets one need be prudent and keep a diverse portfolio. I truly hope you are saving for my future responsibly... and if you aren't well then I suggest you begin because University won't pay for itself and I'm going to be so much smarter than you. I do hope you're happy about that and don't get into a pissing contest with me. You're supposed to want that for me. What? You don't want that for me?"

You: "I didn't say anything!"

Wife: "Why are you talking to the baby, Michal?"

You: "He started it!"

Wife: "Take out the trash, Michal."

Son: (whispering taunts) "Yeah... take out the trash, Michal."

You're not old. You're vintage! :p

(for what it's worth I call 'em modules too - my players hate it :D)

EDIT: Oh. Wish. Right!

Hmm... I wish I could just stay home all the time and work on various gaming related stuff without having to worry about having a job to pay for living.

I'll keep the request simple: I would like people to actually stop at stop signs again. It's always mass confusion at four way stops around here.

California stops, they call 'em. Slowing down and rolling through past the sign.

I remember one kid telling our driver, "When stop signs have that white line framing the red, they're optional."

Idiot. Hahaha, I tricked you into killing us.

I wish my Wife would get Pregnant.

You all should feel the coming doom of a little me.... MUAHAHAHAHAHA


I wish my wife's period would end.


Funny, I always thought of the porn version of that show as the Ass Menagerie...


I wish I were debt free and back on the 8am to 5pm shift again. ~grins~ Or the 7am to 4pm shift, just to sweeten the pot.


I wish STDs didn't exist so I would have one less excuse when screening dates.

Ah! I thought he wasn't talking about the political situation in China and North Korea... Do you want a job as a translator? ;)

Cheers! :D

Actually that was another conversation:

Son: Damn! Look at my hair! I look like Kim Jong-Il. Tufts stickin' up all over the place. Say, I hear Kim Jong-Il is planning to turn the country over to his younger son when he dies. So, "dad", what are you gonna give me? That punk's getting 1000 kisaeng girls and a 1,000,000 man army. What am I gonna get? ... And while we're on the subject of North Korean dictators, have you heard about what the UN Bioweapons Inspectors discovered in North Korea? Kimchi! The average North Korean apparatchik has two or three pots of this vile stuff buried in their front yard. How are you going to disarm a country that is willing to eat that crap? I tell ya ...

1) I wish my wife could get a good paying job

2) I wish my "Opa" (Grandpa) wasn't going to die

Thats it...


I wish paizo would take a que from Green Ronin and lower the cost of PDF back issues of Dungeon magazine to $2.00 a pop. Then maybe I could afford all the Age of Worms issues!

I miss-read it as periodS and was about to say congratulations! :S

Next time I'll read more thoroughly...

Cheers! :D


I wish I had a couple of million bucks lying around. Early retirement sounds pretty good right about now.

I know that feeling. At 2-yrs, I've just realised that the similar sequence of sounds that follow "Hiya" or "Herro" (Hello) are not "ha ra ru" but "How are you?" He's been saying it for months and I feel a total tool for not realising sooner and responding to his polite enquiry :)

I wish ... that I had the energy and motivation to take my telescope out under the lovely stars more often.
