Granted, it now sucks harder than a 10.000 watt vacuum cleaner. God feels pity on you though, and kills you - ironically by being sucked into the drainage of a swimming pool that was accidently emptied while you use it.

I wish someone else than aliblabla2007 would be the next poster.

Proposition 8 is forgotten after it turns out Obama is Gay and chose to get out of the closet right after becoming President. He uses his power to change the laws fundamentally. It is now allowed to marry anyone and anything you want. Nerds marry their computers, pet lovers marry their pets and your mum gets a divorce and marries you. Muslim countries are provoked though, and send wave after wave ofterrorist attacks which eventually leads to a full blown nuclear war ending civilization as we know it.

I wish every new day would be a little bit better than the last, until I die of old age as a very happy man.

Upon closer inspection of the particle, you find its actually a tiny wooden voodoo doll. And it resembles you! Suddenly a gust of wind blows on it, and you are thrown forcefully into the wall. When you raise up and look at it again, a drop of sweat from your own forehead falls on it, and you gasp as you nearly drown! Everything happening to the particle happens to you instead!

You are quick to react though, and to keep it safe you decide to bring it to the most secure safe deposit box in your town! You successfully put it into a box, to ensure nothing can ever happen to it again. As you return home you feel a great relief as it rests safely without any disturbance whatsoever. What a crazy story to tell your buddies you think, as a smile forms on your face. You roll up the window to get some fresh air. But it is still feels kind of dull. Damn pollution you think, as you roll up the other windows as well. No change though. No air. Cant breathe! You slowly lose conciousness while you suffocate, the world turns black around you, coal black like the inside of a safe deposit box...

I wish I had some of my favorite ice cream.

My contribution is my review of Red Alert 3, in a special TWL season edition:

GAME DRESSED AS A CLOWN, PLAYING ITSELF

I'm a huge RTS fan, and wasted too many hours/days/weeks playing these kinds of games. I was truly looking forward to RA3 for a long time. And finally it arrived, in all its candy colored glory. It's hard for a game like this to match the big expectations created by the massive hype surrounding it, but in this case, I'm quite confident to say...it didn't.

One of the big news this time around is the co-op mode. That's a nice feature, but spoiling the niceness is the fact its not an additional feature, you are stuck with having another player together with you in every mission whether you want it or not. If you have no real friends, the CPU volunteers, but I found it to be quite unsatisfying to be stuck with an AI controlled sidekick. The game only gets hard enough when he is finally wiped out of his misery, up to that point the game virtually plays by itself, and you do not really need to do much at all, just sit back and watch the numerous poorly acted cut scenes that sometimes clutter your radar or drags the camera away from what you are doing. These cut scenes are annoying but forgivable due to the humorous tone.

The AI surely has improved a lot from previous CC/RA games. You can only truly appreciate this in the Skirmish modes though, as the campaign mode is far too easy even on the highest difficulty level. In skirmish mode I had to struggle even facing only one enemy on Brutal setting, while in CC I had to face several before having to struggle. In particular I found the enemy now intelligently withdraws when facing too many of your forces, and it also seems to try to avoid spots where you done a massive amount of destruction earlier.

Better AI should mean better game experience, but frankly I'm not sure if that is the case. A lot of times I found myself very annoyed seeing enemies withdraw at the exact perfect time leaving them with one pixel left in the healthbar. In fact, building up defenses seeing the enemy being ripped apart in wave after wave is kind of satisfying, but do not expect this in RA3. It's an improvement in challenge, but perhaps not in the satisfaction department. The main annoyance is the AI is heavily capitalizing on the fact a computer is is able to micromanage each and every unit as it is not slowed down by having only two arms and a sluggish user interface. I would like to see an AI which improves by actually applying some clever and dynamically changing tactics instead.

Units seems quite balanced this time. There is no longer any unit that can be spammed out and deal with everything when in huge numbers, perhaps with the exception of the rocket infantry unless they are facing the Russians who has very efficient superweapons that will wipe out entire platoons of soldiers easily. You basically are forced to combine your forces in smart ways, to deal with sea, air and ground threats. You will find water in every map by the way, so expect to be building a lot of sea vessels.

There's plenty of new superweapons in the game, ranging from the just slightly super superweapons on the level of the super hero Aquaman, to the real super stuff which your enemies nightmares are made of. Frankly speaking, I never really liked superweapons much. They are only designed to force players to finish quickly, while I enjoy a long, well thought out battle without any sudden imbalances thrown in. Superweapons are especially annoying when trying to fight many AI opponents at a time to test your skills to the max in skirmish mode. Once you finally managed to keep all the enemy fractions in check, you suddenly have a dozen nuclear bombs raining over your base as each enemy has their own arsenal of these unfair weapons, while you only have one set.

RA3 is a fast game, it offers a lot of action all the time, keeping you busy. The economy is quite generous, allowing you to focus on building and fighting a lot rather than on resource management. So, its definitively an emphasis on "real-time" here, and the life span on each unit is very short. Personally I prefer a bit tougher units which you do not need to be replaced every second, pushing the game more into the "strategic" section, but RA3 seems to enjoy blowing up things quickly and conveniently, so gone are any super units that are hard to build and hard to destroy. It's better to think of your units as intelligent bullets, which you can guide to the enemy's forces and which will then quickly blow up after delivering some damage. Perfect for people with ADHD I guess, but unsatisfying if you are into real strategy.

All in all the game is a welcomed sight, but neither revolutionary nor very memorable. I doubt I will keep playing this for long, I'll probably revert to CC instead next time I need a dose of RTS.

You now have a gini. To be more accurate, you have the gini coefficient of Denmark, which is 23%. It leaves you feeling somewhat empty though...

I wish every person doing great evil would have to live the lives of all their victims.

No one corrupts your wishes from now on, unfortunately the person who corrupts them is the same who grants them, so you are left with nothing at all...

I wish everyone in this forum would sing a christmas song together and exchange presents.

Michael Jackson makes a deal with the devil, and he is again granted the ability to make good music. Unfortunately noone wants to publish it because of the past child molesting accusations and the fact he now looks like a sad, middle aged woman. The devil is soon to collect his debt by making him terminally ill from an uncurable lung disease which will be the end of him.

I wish I knew what to buy for Xmas presents...

You have the most comfortable chair int he world, but unfortunately it's also the most flimsy, and when you sat on it, it broke and impaled you where you slowly bled to death in perfect comfort.

I wish De Blob was nominated for GOTY.

Foolz3h

De Blob gets nominated as Game of the Year, in the category of games that make two year old babies laugh and then poop.  It loses, and a game which colors the screen in a different bright color and say MOOO every time a button is clicked wins instead.

I wish we had no more double posts to corrupt the same wish so that cosmic balance can be restored to the universe.

You have the most comfortable chair in the world. It's made of some kind of gel which shapes itself after your body. Unfortunately its sticky, so once settled you cant get out of it. You eventually starve to death, but in a comfortable way.

I wish I did not become bored with most games.

You can fly! You realise this after you find your stomach is abnormally elastic, and by pumping it full of helium you are able to lift off into the sky. You can move back and forth by burping or farting, and if the wind blows hard enough, you can actually move faster than you can walk! You become famous national wide as the Helium Fart Boy, and scores of people gather and point at you as you crawl slowly over the skies. All joy until a bunch of kids makes a bet on who can hit you with a pellet gun first. Long story short, imagine a balloon just pumped full of air, which someone suddenly lets go of without tying a knot first. Well, that's you in your last flight, including the funny sound, and with an additional THUD in the end.

I wish my life had a load/save function.
