Your Own Personal Holodeck

[Matt]

I'd have my own private island where it's always 75 degrees and sunny outside. The scotch would flow freely as I experience a continuous massage from my harem.

[Ed Hocken]

Replicating every major battle of the last 2000 years with the safety protocols turned off...

Even the invasion of Greneda?

As for my holodeck?

On some days, I'd get to exercise my fantasies of being a hot shot homicide dectective.

Other days, I'd be an intersetellar traveler wandering space and time while being adventurous.

On occasion, I hold my own version of Prime Minister's Questions.

I'd invite a few of you over and we can see how far we get using Worf's Klingon calisthenics program...

[Ed Hocken]

I'd be dead in less than half a second.

My World Program #2 would be CONAN world, with me as the ultimate pit fighter. I would crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentation of the women.

Crom is pleased.

Holodeck #2 would have me living and working in a Blade Runner style place. I want my glowing towers and neon night life. Kinds of like the 2020 level in Turtle in Time.

And he wants sushi from a pushcart...

"NO! Two... two. FOUR! And noodles!"

You've got one. In a secret area at the back of your house/apartment, you've got a holodeck. It's for your own personal use and enjoyment, and you'll never have to share it with anyone else. Also, you'll never have to share what you DO with it with anyone else.

Here are the keys to the door. The computer is standing by to create your holodeck experience.

What do you do?

1. Jam live with Hüsker Dü (circa '87.)
2. Re-imagine certain key moments in Ireland's history.
3. The Death Star trench run.
4. Captain Northern Ireland to a sensational World Cup win, claiming the Golden Boot (for top scorer) and Golden Ball (for best overall player) titles in the process.
5. Romance Isla Fisher.
6. Romance Winona Ryder, possibly by jamming live with a sensationally re-formed Hüsker Dü.
7. Shoot it with James Joyce in Dublin (circa 1940.)
8. Insert myself into Gilmore Girls as Jess, remove Logan from the show, then romance Rory.
9. Win the Treble with United in '99. Play alongside greats like Keaneo, Schmeichs, Scholesy, Giggsy, Ole, et al along the way.

I love this thread. Bravo, Matt!

Pretty much, just combine the homicide cop fantasy with the techno city.

It'll be the only time where you could get away with having long hair and being in law enforcement.

And Bobby, you could be the opposition lead in my Prime Minister's Question program.

[Matt]

no decadent enough, Bobby.

Simulation:

Complete exploration of the known universe, being able to "walk" along the face of newborn and dying stars, truly see the scope of things as an insignificant inhabitant, and maybe even witness the sheer gravitational and temporal destruction/distortion of a black hole.

And then saying "fuck it" and proceed with everything like Galactus.

But only after I play pool with the planets.

You know, a little perspective from both ends of the spectrum.

Sounds more like Dr. Manhattan than Galactus, but yeah...that'd be cool.

I neglected to mention the safety protocols would be off during all football simulations. Hoping that was a given.

Do you, Timothy225, take this Earth girl Dale Arden...to be your empress of the hour?

Amazing!

When I saw the words "World Program", it wasn't long 'til I started thinking along these lines.

Bobby's World Program #2: a universe inspired by the film Arena. The conceit is not dissimilar to Matt's Conan scenario, but the combatants are: a galaxy of alien and robotic pugilists (each more grotesque than the last) vie for my fists - I am, essentially, Space Rocky after all.

And Bobby, you could be the opposition lead in my Prime Minister's Question program.

*toasts*

no decadent enough, Bobby.

The Ulstermen's World Cup victory party would be pretty heady. By which, of course, I mean Winona would make another appearance...

Simulation 2:

Front-row ticket to a show at the Ink & Paint Club, followed by a Toontown-wide after party.
