Bad Idea: that's supposed to be taken in a different manner so it'd taste awful and you'd OD.

Daring to look upon the visage of Marylin Manson without his makeup.

Bad idea. A staring contest with Cthulhu is preferable.

Cancelling Jersey Shore and replacing it with a space opera.
 Totenkopf
10-17-2011, 1:36 AM
#1603
Decent idea. It'd have to be really bad to be worse than Jersey Shore.

Comedy Central roasting Ed O'Neill.

Good idea, but when is it a bad idea to roast someone?

A starting contest with Cthulhu.

Neutral idea: if you're going to compete with legendary sea creatures, go execute Poseidon.

Playing the son or daughter with a video camera and taking me to the grocery store while I am in tourettes guy mode. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNizX0PwyGs)

Really bad idea. The sooner you stop talking about Tourettes Guy, the better.

Father-son bonding over Crystal Meth.
 Darth Avlectus
10-22-2011, 9:30 PM
#1607
Horrible idea. Crystal meth. I needn't say more.

Pulling a derrick (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZcGKHC0Rh8) voice routine on someone named Alex IRL while dude is at work in a convenience shop in a casino.

I literally have no idea.

Locking someone in a room with their greatest fear until they overcome it.
 Darth Avlectus
11-07-2011, 10:35 PM
#1609
Good idea: Either they will overcome it and rationality will win, or they kill themselves off in a fit of neuroses. Either way, we have one less person being a dumbass about their phobia.

Getting an anti-MMO diehard revan fanboy to look at the resemblance

http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/67/files2/66315_2.jpg)
and take it seriously, expecting it will end well if it is even acknowledged at all.
(@ Alk: I can PM you more, you said this is confusing so I'd be happy to support my opinion, spoiler warning though!)

Bad idea. Fanboys are fickle morons even at the best of times.

Eating a heaping bowl of Wasabi.
 Darth Avlectus
11-09-2011, 8:01 PM
#1611
Good idea, provided you are prepared for it: I've actually burned out bugs and sickness by eating a lot of wasabi with sushi. In fact wasabi peas are an occasional favorite snack. (Or at least were until my digestive system began giving me hell).

An evacuated 1 gallon jar for a poor man's plasma display transported without any catcher mesh.
 Alkonium
11-14-2011, 4:13 PM
#1612
Depends on how thick the jar is.

Sega changing Knuckles' name to Fists.
 Darth Avlectus
11-27-2011, 5:51 PM
#1613
Neutral: Not sure exactly why anyone would do that but...whatev man.

Sega giving Beyonetta significantly more personality than a stereotypical librarian combined with a pronstar tease.
At least one would hope right?
 Alkonium
11-27-2011, 6:00 PM
#1614
Good idea. I've always thought she was just some sort of librarian-themed stripper.

Claiming that Justin Bieber is a brony.
 Totenkopf
11-27-2011, 10:35 PM
#1615
What?!? You mean he ain't?

Completing and announcing the long awaited K3 (no mmo bs, just straight-up SP) after having kept it in secret-dev for the past several years in time for Xmas, 2012.
 Alkonium
11-27-2011, 10:51 PM
#1616
Good idea, but that's just wishful thinking at this point.

@Totenkopf: Well, I hope he isn't.

Calling the Kardashians prostitutes at every opportunity.
 Totenkopf
11-27-2011, 11:12 PM
#1617
Sounds reasonable to me. That's usually what a publicity whore is anyway (almost seems like a tautology/meme in their case).

America adopting a more balanced energy policy where we continue to explore and develop "carbon" based fuels while continuing to work on their eventual replacement (vs what we've currently got now, sadly).

@Alk--yeah, ain't holding my breath either, just couldn't come up with a better idea at that moment.
 Darth Avlectus
11-27-2011, 11:51 PM
#1618
Sounds more reasonable than an archaic international shakedown tax that does little more than make the current economic gridlock into even more of a nightmare than it already is (you know rather than actually working on a solution).

Capcom deciding to not pull any more megaman legends 3 bull**** that they about face at the last minute and abandon after getting everyone amped up about it,
 Alkonium
11-27-2011, 11:58 PM
#1619
Good idea. What can the fans really do about it?

Game companies openly and admittedly spiting angry fans by cutting features.
 Totenkopf
11-28-2011, 12:14 AM
#1620
Bad idea, generally speaking....unless the feature/s they drop don't bother all the happy fans, then just neutral.

Growing and selling weed in Mendocino, CA.
 Darth Avlectus
11-28-2011, 12:30 AM
#1621
Neutral...that idea is still kinda catch 22 over here.

Producing a game that hypocritically portrays a significant number of your own fanbase, pro second amendment patriots, as the bad guys (such as rainbow six may be considering with its next installment) shown in the worst light possible, politicizing itself desperately attempting to regain relevance and sell copies.
 Totenkopf
11-28-2011, 12:33 AM
#1622
Sucks a$$. But, if it sells.........

Making the same game but portraying a cabal of progressive socialist globalists as your nemesis (w/Soros as a kind of Blofeld charachter).
 Darth Avlectus
11-28-2011, 12:53 AM
#1623
Good idea so far as I'm concerned...unfortunately they dominate the media in quantity and in campaign contributions (just look at analyses of the 1996 communications act and see which networks spent the most on political contributions) and will probably shut it down.

Finding shoulder pads with vent holes to spike up (think like Legion Of Doom) for part of your own original SW costume.
 Totenkopf
11-28-2011, 1:00 AM
#1624
It could work, as they look like potential sithlord wannabes (or would if they were cosplayers).

Auditioning to replace Flattus Maximus and succeeding.
 Darth Avlectus
11-28-2011, 1:08 AM
#1625
Actually that would be pretty awesome, if only I were to pursue playing my '69 Voxton again, or either my Fender Bass, or my bloody red half size Memphis bass. (yeah I know it's a shame to just let them sit in the closet but what 're you gonna do)

Adding some more crazy females in that band's lineup. (Currently only 1)
 Totenkopf
11-28-2011, 1:11 AM
#1626
With an act like that, why the hell not......the more the merrier. (always kinda liked it when Oderous showed up on Redeye....he was kinda wacky).

Getting paid good money just to show up and say nothing.
 Darth Avlectus
11-28-2011, 1:18 AM
#1627
Good idea: Red eye doesn't talk too much serious business anyway and yet you always come away with such irony of truth.

Making a lightsaber out of ultrasabers' LED module and a 45 degree curved plastic bell-ended electrician's pipe and whatever else is required. (One of my current projects.)
 Alkonium
11-28-2011, 1:18 PM
#1628
Good idea. It'd look great.

Using genetic manipulation to turn humanity into a monogendered race like the Asari from Mass Effect.
 Darth Avlectus
11-28-2011, 10:02 PM
#1629
Neutral: Guess I'm one of the minority here who has not given enough of a $#*% to pick up the game and play it to even know what in the blue hell you're talking about.

Buying Alk a cospayer for Christmas.
 Alkonium
11-28-2011, 10:03 PM

Bad idea. That sounds like slavery.

Reviving ReBoot.
 Darth Avlectus
11-28-2011, 10:07 PM
#1631
Depends on the demographics whether or not such a thing is a wise business investment.

Bleaching hair with actual bleach and not letting it touch the roots or the skin.
 Totenkopf
11-28-2011, 11:52 PM
#1632
Likely a bad idea (at least from the sound of it). Better to shave your head bald and bleach a "cool" rug that way and wear it instead.

Buying a shipment of Orion slave girls for your personal bemusement (to put it delicately).

Bad idea:

Gerri Gerbil says: I don't like where this is going.

Lead me not to temptation for I can find it myself thank you very much. :devsmoke:

@ Alk: I neglected to tell you that the cosplayer would only stick around for about a week.


Finding 101 uses for dead cats.
 Alkonium
11-29-2011, 6:17 PM
#1634
Good idea. Beats having them just lie there.

@DA: Well, "cosplayer" is still pretty vague.

Banning censorship of any kind.
 Darth Avlectus
11-29-2011, 6:26 PM
#1635
Good idea: People should be free to exercise discretion.

@Alk: use your imagination. Yes, even for that.

Leaving a little "thank you" present on some schmuck's front doorstep suitably matching the disfavor they have done for you.
 Totenkopf
11-29-2011, 6:34 PM

Bad idea, you shouldn't misrtreat Gerri Gerbil so shabbily.

Owning all the internets in the galaxy.
 purifier
11-29-2011, 9:43 PM

Great idea, you would have the ultimate domain.





Creating an internet that has physical wormholes to other internet users.
 Alkonium
11-29-2011, 10:34 PM
#1638
Bad idea. Think about how easy it is to make enemies on the internet.

Building a Stargate out of an old trampoline, a car battery, and some pipe cleaners.
 Totenkopf
11-30-2011, 1:36 AM
#1639
Bad idea for about the same reason.

Controlling all the Stargates and then going on a power trip of epic proportions.
 Darth Avlectus
11-30-2011, 4:13 AM
#1640
Bad idea: Lady luck is cruel when she finally walks out on you.

Bad idea, you shouldn't misrtreat Gerri Gerbil so shabbily. Oh I wasn't referring to excrement, rather I was referring to your trash on my front deck that somehow had pictures of your little island trip. Your wife must reallly get into the kinky $***. :devsmoke:


Using a jackhammer on your friend who roughly sort of resembles heffer from Rocko's Modern Life.
 Totenkopf
11-30-2011, 10:31 AM
#1641
Good idea if your intent is to lobotomize, but only if it's a micro-sized version of a jackhammer....

Oh I wasn't referring to excrement, rather I was referring to your trash on my front deck that somehow had pictures of your little island trip. Your wife must reallly get into the kinky $***. :devsmoke:

Ah, yes, the schmeming evil of photoshop devotees. Well, what's good for the goose... :devsmoke:

Getting an elite hacker who owes you a big favor to burn out the files of your bank's CC division so that there's no record of the $$ you still owe on your substantial balance, while scoring the bonus of "helping" other's liberate their debt monkey as well and then leaving no smoking gun/clues as to your involvement.

Good idea, maybe, if hacker is up to snuff for it.

Taming a black leopard.

Metaphorically would be good. Literally would be cool (except I can't quite figure how that'd work).
