Marginal unless you actually have the HDTV that goes with it.

"Using" a funnyns bag in light of a proper substitute.

Good idea. Go for the real thing when you can.

Children's toys that are supposed to catch fire.

Good idea: today's youth are far too sheltered and have it far too easy.


Continuing to leave ambiguous the fates of certain past GTA characters--suffice it to say they, the ones I have in mind from the GTA 3 era are confirmed to be dead anyway, so essentially leave the details blurry.

Good idea. Leaves them open to return.

Bethesda deliberately making The Elder Scrolls VI needlessly complicated to appease the whiners.
 Totenkopf

#1805
Good idea.....if the whinging whiners are their core market for that game, otherwise it'd probably be a mistake.

Forcing high tax advocates to have to give most of their millions+ to the govt before demanding it of the rest of us.

Good idea. I resent that my parents, whose retirement is everything they put into their house, should have to face an increase in capital gains taxes SO CLOSE TO RETIREMENT, simply on account that it is considered an "investment"...hence I think OWS should really try to educate itself a little better.

Making it so that certain people (Emperor George) who want oil from Canada shipped here via their trains as opposed to a pipeline, should have to pay a stiff penalty for being selfish and tyrannous.
 Totenkopf

Good idea......though hangin' might be too good for him. :devsmoke: I think perhaps we should get him to answer "what?" to a question posed by a Jules Winfield lookalike. ;)

Restricting cosplaying to the more attractive of the fairer sex.
 Hallucination
02-22-2012, 2:10 AM
#1808
Bad idea, that mean mean half the non-cat jokes on the internet would die out.

Trying to burn down the sun.

@Avlectus: It's too late, the oil's going to China if King Steve has his way (that is, if he manages to talk the B.C. government, Haida, Nisga'a, and whoever else is between the oilsands and Vancouver).

Pointless...enough said...

would be @ Totenkopf: Neutral...aww c'mon, you don't find it hilarious when some naive guy starts getting hot and bothered for a trap only to be told it's a trap and have a freakout afterwards?

Telling lady gaga to get out while the getting is good, because like forgetting to take out the garbage, it really gets old after awhile. (No offense to any fans, I just don't think she's all that good, and it looks like she is desperate for attention so I am compelled to ignore her until points where I have no choice, then my only reaction to it is disgust.)

@ Hal. >_< Well, S***. There goes any hope of our economy in the U.S. recovering in the next 25 years. :disaprove
Thanks Mr. President.

Bad idea. That motivate her to get even weirder.

The makers of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic forgetting about their original target audience and catering exclusively to bronies.
 Totenkopf
02-22-2012, 2:09 PM
#1811
Bad idea......the tent is big enough for both groups.

Replacing career pols w/people who actually give a **** about their country.
 Alkonium
02-22-2012, 3:57 PM
#1812
Good idea, provided they can get past the election process.

As an employer, making a point of hiring the most amusing applicant instead of the most qualified.
 Hallucination
02-22-2012, 6:30 PM
#1813
Possibly paradoxical idea: If you work in an entertainment company, the most amusing applicant would often be the most qualified, so who do you hire instead of him?

As an employer, hiring the person with the shortest coverletter and resumé instead of the most qualified applicant.
 Alkonium
02-22-2012, 6:34 PM
#1814
Good idea. Then you can mark everyone else's with TL;DR.

As a musician, faking your death whenever you release a new album.
 Hallucination
02-22-2012, 8:34 PM
#1815
Great idea, that way it builds hype for the first 6 or 7 albums, and when you actually die people will be totally stoked for a week or two before being bummed out and feeling ashamed.

Faking being an interesting person for your whole life.
 Alkonium
02-22-2012, 8:39 PM
#1816
Good idea. Faking being interesting is pretty interesting in and of itself.

Using Combustible Lemons to make Lemonade.
 Darth Avlectus
02-22-2012, 10:01 PM
#1817
Excellent idea: "explosive flavors" sell in droves.

Replacing matches with laser ignition in general
 Totenkopf
02-23-2012, 4:05 PM
#1818
Depends on how cumbersome the laser ignition device is.

Knowing everything important about everyone else.
 Alkonium
02-23-2012, 4:13 PM
#1819
Bad idea. There's plenty of important stuff you don't want to know.

An official crossover between My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Game of Thrones.
 Darth Avlectus
03-01-2012, 9:07 PM
#1820
Good idea: I mean, at least it isn't being mixed with Barbie's horse adventure or something.

Getting Nintendo to STOP having Princess Peach sound so perverted all the time.
 Alkonium
03-01-2012, 9:50 PM
#1821
Bad idea. They'll oblige, but she'll sound worse than perverted instead.

Lampooning your critics.
 Darth Avlectus
03-01-2012, 10:49 PM
#1822
Good idea: Trolling ass clowns deserve to be given $*** in a most playful manner. F*** them if they can't take a joke.

Using parts from a defunct stereo amplifier to make a high current capacitor charging power supply on the cheap because buying new is ridiculously expensive.
 Alkonium
03-01-2012, 11:02 PM
#1823
Bad idea. Defunct can be a pretty vague term.

Reenacting the boom box scene from "Say Anything...", but with "Big Time" instead of "In Your Eyes".
 Darth Avlectus
03-02-2012, 12:40 AM
#1824
Good Idea: If I don't get it after watching it and attempting to substitute the words like you direct then it has to be a good thing...right?

Making a freeware, epically fun flash game with somewhat customizable characters, and a number of appearances among unique ones are mild knockoffs of popular characters--just shy of gimmick infringement. (I.E. a fighting RPG and characters resemble those of street fighter, KOF, final fantasy 7 thru 10, bleach, naruto, etc.)
 Alkonium
03-03-2012, 1:30 PM

Isn't that Mugen?

Hiring squirrelking to write for your video game/film/TV show.
 Totenkopf
03-03-2012, 5:07 PM
#1826
A really squirrely idea. :xp:

Banning DA from playing with lasers.
 Darth Avlectus
03-03-2012, 8:03 PM
#1827
Neutral Idea: Good luck with that.

@Alk: Could be, I suppose that's close enough. I was referring to something else though.

Banning Totenkopf from blue cars.
 purifier
03-04-2012, 1:34 PM
#1828
Good idea: He now drives a fuzzy pretty pink car, but has better luck with it, not one problem from here on out and it gets 100 miles to the gallon. (well I guess you haft to make a sacrifice in someway, Tot :D)





Banning "screw you out of your money and making bad promises" politicians from government.
 Alkonium
03-04-2012, 5:47 PM
#1829
Good idea, but don't expect it to go smoothly.

Playing Minecraft while hopped up on pain pills.
 Totenkopf
03-05-2012, 3:04 AM
#1830
Good idea....if the game gives you a headache.

Getting purifier a better pair of glasses so he can see that "I'm" not actually driving the car (I had to commandeer a hot Mary Kay cosmetics salewoman in her fuzzy pink cadillac while chasing my prey ;) ).
 Darth Avlectus
03-05-2012, 3:56 AM
#1831
Good idea, except the money came from your credit. I'm sure he appreciates the charity though.

Using a trash compactor to downsize all that troublesome styrofoam.
 Alkonium
03-05-2012, 3:55 PM
#1832
Good idea. For once I see no harm in it.

Putting the heating on Yogscast-style.
 Darth Avlectus
03-09-2012, 5:33 AM
#1833
Good idea: any creative way to heat things up in this cold, cold galaxy has to be good, right? Certainly from a gaming perspective. :p Whatever with 2 strange people with British accents...Not sure I get it but it's pretty funny. Come to think of it I have watched them before...


Making your own pulsed multigas laser, with flatulence as the lasing medium obtained by suction cup funnel around your arse similar to the way fat@$$ Preston did on jackass the movie 2 farting into it, except the vacuum pump sends it to a reservoir which can hold it and slow release the reserves as needed.

Actually, a video on physics at an American university had a several minute segment on this very thing.
 Alkonium
03-09-2012, 3:19 PM
#1834
Good idea. It's not like you'll run out fuel anytime soon.

@DA: It's basically setting a hard wood floor on fire.

Turning your toilet into a replica of the Iron Throne.
 Darth Avlectus
03-12-2012, 1:01 AM
#1835
Good idea. Toilets are one of the greatest inventions ever, just like garbage bags. Versatility is a side benefit and you're only utilizing the orignal invention to its fullest potential.

Gifting Beavis with his very own tool shed so he'll leave yours alone (if you are Tom Anderson).
 purifier
03-12-2012, 2:49 AM
#1836
Beneficial idea.Then Beavis could polish his own tool instead of Tom's.






Making our Presidential Candidates fight to the death to win the U.S. Presidency of our country, instead of the usual way with campaigns, debates, and voting.
 Alkonium
03-12-2012, 10:12 AM
#1837
Good idea. We should be able to weed out a few idiots and nutjobs that way.

Fighting bullying with cannibalism.
 Darth Avlectus
03-12-2012, 11:57 PM
#1838
Great idea: we'd solve a lot of starvation issues, discourage bullying behavior (ot just the brutish kind either), and PETA wouldn't have to complain as much that we kill innocent animals for our meat, since humans are classified differently.

Punishing racially motivated sexual assaults by forcibly pouring 1 quart of molten lead down the perpetrators' gullets.
 Alkonium
03-13-2012, 2:03 PM
#1839
Good idea. Why restrict it to that one type of crime.

Dealing drugs for charity.
 Hallucination
03-13-2012, 3:48 PM
#1840
Excellent idea, that way you get people addicted to giving.

Selling a diet plan that involves regular use of activated charcoal.
 Alkonium
03-13-2012, 6:01 PM
#1841
Good idea, especially if the diet plan also includes poison.

A cheap knockoff of Shreddies called Shredders.
 Darth Avlectus
03-13-2012, 9:03 PM
#1842
Bad idea: People who made Shredder for TMNT will come after you for gimmick infringement.


Throwing excess food out your back door, knowing bunnies are living in your woodpile in the back yard.
 Alkonium
03-16-2012, 12:04 PM
#1843
Good idea. They need food to.

Shooting a policeman, stealing his helmet, going to the toilet in his helmet, sending it to his grieving widow, and then stealing it again.
 Darth Avlectus
03-16-2012, 9:51 PM
#1844
Excellent idea: you should write background stories and missions for games like GTA or Saint's Row, or something like that.

Stealing something stealthily to gift for prospective hoebag conquests (claiming you bought it for them, of course), then when you are done defiling them for all they are worth, stealing it back.

"Bitch I didn't buy you that, I *stole* you that, then I stole it back" (--Violent J, ICP) :devsmoke:
 Totenkopf
03-17-2012, 7:41 AM
#1845
Good idea if you like being an evil prick and are shtupping a wallfolwer and not some psycho.

Forcing EA and Bioware to "fix" ME3.
 Alkonium
03-17-2012, 9:15 AM
#1846
Bad idea. Anything that could convince them probably counts as terrorism.

My last post was a reference to this (http://youtu.be/ALZZx1xmAzg).

Using a fire extinguisher marked "Made in Britain".
 Darth Avlectus
03-17-2012, 1:50 PM
#1847
Neutral: I'm not one to necessarily prejudge a product...umm, I'll say good if it has been properly maintained and bad if it hasn't...

@Alk: :rofl:

This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj1heGiIehU) as a ringtone.
 Alkonium
03-17-2012, 3:03 PM
#1848
Good idea, if you want several fists to the face every time you need to take a call.

And my last post was a reference to this (http://youtu.be/1EBfxjSFAxQ)

Using this (http://youtu.be/wblE8YYLyQ0) as a ringtone.
 Darth Avlectus
03-17-2012, 6:35 PM
#1849
Good idea: Nothing lets people know that you care like a good time.


Buying a hacked NES cartridge for the sake of having your favorite rom hack on console and to call it a collectible of a special kind.
 Alkonium
03-20-2012, 9:11 PM
#1850
Bad idea. I'm pretty sure that doesn't constitute a collector's item.

Shouting "Prepare yourself, Narnia!" whenever you open a wardrobe.
