Before you die...

Okay, I'm sure we all have a list of things we'd like to do before we inevitably die and go.... wherever it is we're going.

So, what's your list?

1. Lose my virginity to someone I truly love (A woman, preferably)
2. Play Doom 3
3. Visit Europe (Germany and Denmark in particular)
4. Help delevop a video game (My desired future career)
5. Have a look at the rest of America (Washington in particular)
6. Embarass someone on worldwide television
7. Moon someone famous
8. Go to a KISS Concert

2. Play Doom 3

Is this pathetic or just a joke?

Are you pathetic or just a joke?

OMG the goal of my life is to play a computer game.

Well, why not. Doom 3 is the greatest event in the history of mankind since Jesus Christ.

- Travel
- Become wiser
- Fall in love again
- Live on my own
- Write a book

I deathmatched with Jesus.

It's on my list because I'm sure as fuck not gonna be able to do it anytime soon after it comes out. maybe in a few years, but not soon.

The things I want to do before I die are too myriad to list, but I can list a few things I hope I live long enough to see:

-Alien visitation
-Anti-gravity used for space exploration
-Colonization on the moon/other planets
-The end of superpowers vs. the UN
-Decriminalization of illicit drugs/prison system reform
-Spiritual/cultural revolution
-The RIAA dissolved due to unlawful practices
-Censorship law reform
-Great-grandchildren
-Less dependency on paper currency

Who knows? I might have a hand in effecting all of these.

Dan's semi-revised list of stuff he wants to do:

1. Go down on a woman
2. Have kids
3. Make music for a living

Word. :)

Though D.C. is a pretty awesome city, at least if you visit at least a couple of the Smithsonian museums.

See The Ring

Except we get chastised for reviving threads more than a week old.

Or chastised for asking a question someone else finds obvious.
Or chastised for making a blog about something bad that happened to you.
Or chastised for being a furry.
Or chastised for not laughing at someone's joke they thought was hilarious.
Or chastised for thinking of new ideas for projects.
Or sometimes chastised just because.

The solution is to find new interesting things to discuss.

OMG ORANGE JUICE!!!!!

I was liked ALMOND JEUS

Wow, that's an interesting title.

Oh, and no one was being chastised. Isn't it relevant to the discussion here that there was a similar thread recently, where lots of people gave their answers to this same question? It might also explain the small number of on-topic responses.

Note that "the hell of it" has a highly literal meaning.

Well, except when it comes to FORTRAN, which is still used for actual programs. I'm not sure if the DoD still uses Ada

- Write an autobiography, and direct the big screen version.
- Kill the following people: Dolph Lundgren, Doom-Child, Ralphis, Grazza (he's on my 'to-kill' list but i cant remember why, but i wont let that stop me), Fred Durst, Matt Dillon, Jeremy Irons, Eugene Levy, George Bush (both junior and senior), Isle, Phil Vischer, Mike Nawrocki, John Romero (why? Daikatana.), Mel Gibson, Gene Hackman, Steve Martin, Owen Wilson, Phillip Anselmo, Tom Berenger, Sylvester Stallone (wtf FIVE Rocky movies? jesus fuck), Johnny Depp, Martha Stewart, Buckshot, Canada, Frankie Muniz, Rose Mcgowan, Steve Jobs, Mordeth (FUCK RELEASE THE GODDAMN EPISODE ALREADY JESUS), Paul Verhoeven, Dylan Mcdermott, Neil Patrick Harris, Matthew Perry, David Lee Roth, Colin Farrel, Vince Vaughn (YOU FUCKED UP THE PSYCHO REMAKE ASSHOLE), Andy Richter (Conan has sucked a lot since you left please return), Toto, Rob Schneider (YOUR MOVIES HAVE SUCKED ASS FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS NOW)

EDIT: I also kinda want to meet Stephen King someday.

I suspect Fredrik was referring to hell-related stuff like this about Algol:

Some common names for Algol are The Demon, the Demon Star, the Blinking Demon, the Ghoul, and the Spectre's Head. ... The earliest known maligning of this star is from the Arabian name Ri'B al Ohill, the Demon's Head. We also have Al Ghul meaning Mischief-maker. In Hebrew it is called Rosh ha Sitan, Satan's Head ... The Chinese referred to it as Tseih She, the Piled-up Corpses.

Maybe because I deleted your goatse link, rather than just banning you on the spot? Yeah, real mean that was. :p

No, it wasnt that (i dont remember that actually, mind refreshing my memory?). Something like that wouldn't really piss me off anyway.
