Really Bad Idea. The explosion may propel you further than the ramp alone, but it will also incinerate you.

Second-person shooters.

Ummm... How is that even possible? Good idea, I guess. It would be... Different.

Good idea, more bang for yer buck.

Bad idea. It smells terrible.

@Darth Vada: You'd see from the point of view of whatever you're shooting.

Apple deliberately designing their computers to burst into flames at random.

Passable idea, but it would be bad if the average Mac user knew the computer wasn't supposed to do that.

Making a combat free JRPG.
 Alkonium
05-25-2011, 7:54 AM
#1506
Bad idea. Is there any actual choice involved at all then?

@Hal: With my idea, it is supposed to do that.

Building computers out of thermite.

4D glasses.

Insane idea. You'd be seeing time.

Steve Jobs justifying the lack of Flash on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad by saying it's too proletarian for people as bourgeois as Apple's consumer base.
 Darth Avlectus

Bad idea for apple, those who tend to to keep up with the new trend, are left behind in the end.

Using a hard to find "AC flyback transformer" on the power supply for a "home made plasma globe". (trust me search relevant terms and you probably will find your answer fairly easy, hint "Greg's")
 Alkonium

Anything involving a home made plasma globe is a really bad idea.

Any action that follows the phrase "Hold my beer and watch this!"

Good and bad, maybe even simultaneously.

Spending your afternoons near a liberal university fleecing students of their drinking money by pretending to be a filthy homeless beggar and then finishing the evening off at your local watering hole laughing w/your friends at their gullibility.

It's a scam, so automatic Good Idea.

Using lemons to burn someone's house down.
 Ferc Kast

neutral idea: it wouldn't set off the smoke detectors & would smell good. :p


some company creating real lightsabers
 Alkonium
06-04-2011, 12:00 AM
#1514
Bad Idea. They're clearly not toys, but most people are too dumb to realise that.

@Ferc: You don't get the reference, do you?

Buying any product endorsed by Cave Johnson.
 Darth Avlectus
06-04-2011, 4:27 AM
#1515
Could be good, could be bad. The hammer could swing either way on this. What I'm definitively gonna say is good or bad, it sure is an awesome idea (http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Cave_Johnson).

Shaving...Mr. Bean style...while your face is like that of a matted frizzled filthy wookiee.
 Alkonium

Good idea. There's usually a method to his madness.

Inventing a combustible lemon THAT BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN!
 Ferc Kast
06-05-2011, 8:31 AM
#1517
neutral idea; it'd be bad for people inside the house, but no one would see that coming.

@Alkonium: Nope, I don't get the reference.

Inventing a device to get rid of feelings towards other people.
 Alkonium
06-05-2011, 9:32 AM
#1518
Bad idea. Any technology that can mess directly with people's minds is too inherently dangerous.

@Ferc: Look up "Cave Johnson Lemon Rant" on Youtube

Batteries that can be recharged in the microwave.
 Darth Avlectus
06-05-2011, 5:00 PM
#1519
Good idea so long as they don't either explode or damage the microwave.

"Slide Fail" for a kid's birthday. (look up on YT) Hint: Failblog.

Bad idea, that's more of a Mother's Day thing.

Renaming every day of the week 'Saturday'.
 Alkonium
06-05-2011, 7:02 PM
#1521
Bad idea. That would defeat the purpose of the week.

Building a life-size working model of Destiny from Stargate Universe.
 Darth Avlectus
06-05-2011, 10:16 PM
#1522
Awesome idea, but half impossible: Life sized yes, working no--not with current technology anyway.

Getting drunk when you are clearly afraid to experiment (with what is up to your interpretation).
 Alkonium
06-05-2011, 11:08 PM
#1523
Good idea. The booze is a great way to eliminate that fear.

Attempting to actually make a Flaming Homer.
 Darth Avlectus
06-05-2011, 11:17 PM
#1524
Awesome so long as you're not the one who catches on fire.

 Alkonium
06-08-2011, 5:57 PM

Really bad idea that needs no explanation.

Painting a painting of a painting in a painting.
 Darth Avlectus
06-08-2011, 7:18 PM
#1526
Neutral but hillarious idea. Reminds me of that episode of Beavis and Butt-Head, where butthead wanted a tatoo on his butt of a butt with a butt shaped tattoo on it.

@ above...bawww, even if those projectiles and moving machinery aren't deadly? :D

Getting drunky on teh booze and experimenting with licking 9V batteries.
 Alkonium
06-08-2011, 7:55 PM
#1527
Neutral. Licking 9V batteries is surprisingly safe.

Apple making PC viruses.
 Darth Avlectus
06-20-2011, 4:56 AM
#1528
Good idea. Your machine isn't susceptible. Just don't get caught.

 Alkonium
06-20-2011, 7:34 AM
#1530
Bad idea, If it doesn't break your teeth, you'll probably get electrocuted. If that doesn't happen, it'll probably rip up your insides.

Eating a live cow.
 Darth Avlectus
06-20-2011, 8:54 AM
#1531
Good idea: Nothin' says rare like when it's still moo-ing. :dev9:

Making sno-cones out of heavy water.
 Alkonium
06-20-2011, 10:19 AM
#1532
Bad idea. It'll cause problems for on the cellular level.

 Darth Avlectus
06-21-2011, 10:30 PM
#1533
Bad idea: from a tech (with engineer aspirations) point of view, that sounds like a complete and utter waste of time.


Playing baseball with a nerd while near the parking lot of an electronics store.
 HockeyGoalie35
06-21-2011, 11:11 PM
#1534
Bad idea, if you hit the ball into the store, he won't come back out.

Hiding a PSP in your roll of fat
 Darth Avlectus
06-21-2011, 11:54 PM
#1535

06-22-2011, 12:10 AM
#1536
Bad idea. I don't know what it is exactly, but it's probably really dangerous.

Using transporter technology to beam tumours out of people.
 Darth Avlectus
06-22-2011, 1:41 AM
#1537
Interesting idea, and I'd be curious to see if it'd work. Supposing it could be isolated safely.


Using deep infrared wavelengths of lasers to cut copper.
 HockeyGoalie35
06-22-2011, 6:38 AM
#1538
bad idea, it'll reflect back. that wont be pretty...

using talc to cut dimonds.
 Darth Avlectus
06-28-2011, 7:23 PM
#1539
Unproductive idea: That's like using butter to cut a katana as it would completely work in the opposite way you intended.


Finding out Mai Shiranui is Purifier's mom ...and 'touching' her when she wants it. :naughty:
 HockeyGoalie35
06-28-2011, 9:02 PM
#1540
good idea if you were a light bulb.

Eating/drinking something called Eggspresso.

#1543
Bad idea. Taste combo too odd. Btw, w/ or w/o the splash of salmonella....... :xp:

Give up on video games forever and finding a more productive use of your time.
 Alkonium

#1544
Bad idea. Where's the fun in that?

Eating something known to burst into flames when microwaved, regardless of whether or not you're actually microwaving it.
 Darth Avlectus
07-04-2011, 1:29 AM
#1545
Neutral: sounds like it could go either way, nothing happen or spontaneous combustion with a cause.

Finding out who your secret stalker hacker is and sending Alkonium with a crew of Alk's hand-picked thugs to dude's house to "share the love", with your regards.
 Ulmont
07-04-2011, 1:47 AM
#1546
Good idea. Sharing is caring.

Arming bears. (Or, if you don't have any spare guns, knives, sling-shots, barrels of rancid water, plutonium, radioactive waste, bears, or industrial grade toast, supporting the right to arm bears)
 Alkonium
07-04-2011, 7:57 AM
#1547
Good idea. Reminds me of an idea I had for a sequel to Snakes on a Plane.

Building Frankensteinesque animals from parts stolen from a slaughterhouse and bringing them to life in an attempt to impress PETA.
 Darth Avlectus
07-06-2011, 3:28 AM

Good idea: the gift of life is always a wonderful thing. you would be doing all the deceased animals a favor sewing them together as one and bringing the new being to life.

Taking Lloyd and Harry as roommates.
 Alkonium
07-08-2011, 12:12 AM
#1549
Bad idea. I could just start a fire in the apartment and achieve the same end result.

Vaporising a police officer because he used "frittata" as a verb.
 Darth Avlectus
07-08-2011, 1:54 AM
#1550
