On that note, Moonbase Commander was one of, (still is one of, I found out you can buy it online DRM-free now for a few bucks, totally worth it), my favorite strategy games I ever found as a kid. The concept is pretty unique, and well done, (at least for the time. The interface hasn't aged all that well, but it works.) It's also refreshingly different from many of the games you see nowadays that value actions-per-second/multitasking/multiple unit management and twitch reflexes above almost all else. *coughstarcraftcoughAoEcoughcoughetc.* The game is turn based and takes place on a wrap-around map. (Most) all of your regular units are buildings connected to each other via land-lines that spiral back to your central starting hub. If any of the buildings that dot the lines are destroyed, anything that now becomes un-connected to your central hub explodes. Anything you deploy is shot out of any hub or offensive center you own. Every round you get a set amount of energy based on any energy-gathering units you have, etc. The round goes until everyone either runs out of energy or skips their turn. (or dies), and then energy is re-allocated. You also get to keep any energy you skip. Really really easy to grock, not too many unit/weapons choices or anything, but that the complexity of the different strategies of unit deployment you can use together... I haven't even figured everything out. It also has multi-player, which is really fun on a LAN with friends. If anyone wants to have a hamachi match, hit me up.

I've done a similar thing. Turn off your wireless/internet connection entirely before launching. See if that works. It seems that for some reason if the launcher's requests are blocked by the network, the launcher throws a fit. Same thing happened with the FTB launcher. Not sure if it still does, but I know it used to, at the very least.

Pshhhaw, that's not a corruption of my wish. That's an intended consequence. Suddenly you realize that the arbitrary limitations of "time" that we as a society have imposed on ourselves have absolutely no real meaning. This ensues. And then society breaks down. Jeeze, thanks for that, I think I'll go hide up in the mountains for twenty years now until things cool off. I wish for a vhs/dvd/blu-ray/digital video player that will automatically censor movies and programs I watch to my liking, automatically compensating for the missing content by generating small clips of new non-perverted/obscene content that fits both stylistically and story-line wise on-the-fly.

You can, but the insane quality of the videos fills up your hard drive to the very last sector, squashing the space windows normally reserves for virtual memory, causing your OS to fail in a way beyond anything a BSOD can handle. As a result, the next time you foolishly attempt to power your machine up, a renegade kernel-mode thread goes careening like an out-of-control 16-wheeler on ice through a particular driver that controls the movement and power state of your hard-disk, as well as the microcode of your processor. Your machine is now so unbelievably messed up as to require complete replacement, and you have no money left for replacing it after paying for the operation required to remove the various bits of hard-disk platter from your face that were put there violently after your hard drive spun out of control. The surgery is a failure, leaving a bit of scar tissue behind unintentionally. That scar tissue unfortunately becomes cancerous and grows into your eye socket, further distorting your face and also leaving you blind in one eye with a large grotesque tumor where your eye used to be. The end. (I wish for the power to control the power news anchors are looking in while they talk.)

I wish I never forgot to wish for something after corrupting someone else's wish.

You suddenly become consumed with the desire to not procrastinate anything. Fueled with the thirst for productivity, you work yourself to death. After all, why sleep now when you can work more and sleep later?

You get paid to do nothing. LITERALLY nothing. If you do anything more than blink, pee, and eat occasionally, you lose your job. I wish for the ability sneeze out of other people's noses.

Gaming is a serious hobby. It becomes SERIOUS BUSINESS. Too serious. Many many rampant crimes are committed due to the seriousness which gaming now commands. Eventually you are murdered by the parents of the 12-year-old you were trash-talking on CoD. I wish for someone to corrupt my wish.

Basically redpower frames 3.0 The custom rendering for mod blocks and such is fairly impressive, and there is a new, (optional), "hard mode" in the works that will make it require power to move. It will also make the building of moving things much more interesting.

Like Neo said, Ars magica is a great mod for this. Ars magica 2 looks like it'll be taking the creativity > raw mindless dupe power thing even further by requiring you to create your own spells from scratch. Or you could show him RiM and challenge him to a superweapon/super mining machine building contest. Again, creativity > raw mindless power.

Bwahahahah. I suddenly wish there was a "like" button on your post. Anyways. You should do more Pokemon/other comics, Soupa. This one made me laugh a ton, your unique sense of humor never fails. *Awards little golden man statue*

Um. Uh. Are you okay?
