Ok as a replacement for the funny picture posts heres a forum game.

the rules are quite simple. the person poses a question that starts with 'What if...?' and then the person who posts after them answers and makes their own 'What if...?' question.

No complaining about the answer you get and dont be offensive with this.

I'll start: What if you had to choose between PC or a Console system to play games on for the rest of your life?

I'd pick a PC, because even 10 years after you can still get better graphic cards, RAM, and so on. . . Consoles die after the next generation is released (why PS2 survived that is a mystery to me).

What if there were only four people left on Earth, and all had the same religion (to avoid any sidetracking on this thread)?

I choose the woman.

 

What if you were chosen for a cryogenic deep space exploratory mission which would take a century to complete?

I would take the opportunity to make history and go for it.

What if you had to choose between saving your one-true love or something and saving 50 people. (and you can ONLY save one)

I would kill Hitler in WW1. (honestly he was in a gas attack just deny him medical treatment or something)

What if you could go do your dream job for pay in another city but you had to leave everything behind including friends and family who feel that you're abandoning them and don't want to talk to you anymore. (like get a job doing nothing but testing games and giving an opinion for a major gaming company with lots of pay)

I would do it anyway. I already (kinda) plan on moving to California when I grow up, this is just a little harsher than that.

What if you could have anybody in the world fall in love with you, BUT if you made too many people fall in love with you, EVERYBODY started to love you (of the opposite gender, of course) (Anybody catch the Code: Geass reference?)

I'd have this one girl I like (details of which I'm not going into) fall in love with me gradually so it ends up as a kind of 'high-school sweetheart' thing through college and so on.

HA! Not only have I forced something flirty out of you (finally- ) BUT! You didn't come up with a "What If" scenario... +2 pts for me!

OK, try this:

What if... you were the President?

I would fund education and health care and fix the economy and just push these bills through. (you can't make everyone happy but honestly do you want things to get better or not?)

What if you could conquer the world?

I would be Hitler, and it wouldn't work. No, but if I could, I'd leave things as it is, just no war... and I'd start terraforming Mars to prepare for overpopulation. yay! Happy martian ending!

What if you could be anybody, alive or dead... who would it be?

I'd be the husband of a supermodel.

What if you had to choose between destroying L.A. or destroying New York

L.A. More crime, more resource-straining, less people dead.

What if you were in a Saw movie, and you couldn't be John (jigsaw) or Amanda, who would you be?

Hmm.. good answer, but not a good "what if" (+1 for me!)

What if you fell asleep watching something on the internet your parents didn't want you to watch, and then got caught? (like me and Naruto Shippuden)

I'd lie about what it was and remove traces of it later

What if you had an unobstructed view of a girl-on-girl pillow fight?

I'd get my video camera, record it, and watch it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and then put if on YouTube.

What if you were invited to a party at your crushes house, and you were the only guy there, and then the party gets cancelled because your crush got grounded? (Again, from xp do I say this... *sigh*)

Ha! I've got you beat by 2 years! (Not that that's something to be bragging about...) Come here to cry about it? (that's what I did... cree-py)

Ah, well. Cast away your heartbroken and lovesick spirits and watch this:

Ummm... we already have BOTH male and female hormones (my mom works in Health Care, so yeah.) Umm... sheesh this is tough. I guess a Girly man? I mean, how far are we going here? Like, dudes have breasts and chicks have a 'stache or what?

What if you could have the fastest internet ever, but only for 1/2 an hour a day?

 Then freedom, as we know it in this world, would likely cease to exist and it wouldnt be long before a retailitory strike would be carried out that would annhilate the USSR and the USA destroying the human race as the members of NATO and the Warsaw Pact became targets as well.

What if the events of 'Turning Point: Fall of Liberty' (this video) actually happened.

Isn't that the game where Japan never attacks America and the Nazi's invade once they've successfully overrun Britain and the USSR?

I was hoping you would've included the Star Wars project in your answer... I found your answer to be pessimistic, honestly. No offense, I'm just too American to accept defeat, be it by Nuclear Holocaust or the hand of commies.

Anyway, to answer your question, the already strained Nazi war-machine would fail to successfully occupy America, and we would counter-attack their fleet, followed by Britain, and then France and into Germany itself.

What if WWIII were to happen soon? As in N.A.T.O./India/South America/Australia vs. Russia/China/Middle East (not Isreal)/ Africa? (I think we'd win, since Canada and the U.S. from N.A.T.O. could just starve all of those countries to death anyway... but it's up to you, really)

Well then quite frankly I'd regret that we never put the Star Wars defense project into place. All that would destory Earth several times over thus ruining the fragile economy and rendering Earth lifeless more or less.

oh and if you didnt notice, Star Wars was a space-based missile defense system. They never LAUNCHED a nuke they snuck it in and detonated it.

What if the Beatles had never broken up and John and Paul were still alive today?
