Listing
I think we all remember, as last year drew to a close we were all writing lists. Like an epidemic. Everyone was writing lists, all I want for Christmas, resolutions for the new year, the best of the 2005 for every medium conceivable and so forth. I too, wrote a list. This is... yeah... my I Must Have This Thing award list, which could be considered a sort of obsessive extension of the regular Christmas list. In no particular order,
- A shiny new computer, jammed to the brim with the most cutting-edge technology money can buy. Double OS Windows and Macintosh, insanely expensive peripherals that would make any computer nerd cry, fully immersive surround sound, the casemod that launched a thousand ships.
- My own pool table. This is something that should be on everyone's wish lists.
- An arcade machine. One of the good ones though, something with full motion detectors.
- A massive, wall-mounted iPod with a 60 inch screen. The clickwheel, of course, stays small enough to be manageable.
- Comic books. Every existing and future volume in the Ultimate Marvel Universe, as well as the Clone Wars series.
- Every next generation console known to man, including but not restricted to, the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Revolution. Also every breakthrough game ever released for Xbox versions 2 though 359.
- Clothes. Rooms and rooms of clothes of every imaginable fashion and design, enough for anyone to play supermodel in for months.
- A double-storey penthouse to put all that stuff in, where else but the most expensive location in the whole city which would be... what? The Twin Towers skybridge? Sounds like a plan.
- Superpowers. Anything from flight to energy redistribution to teleportation, super speed, telepathy, probability manipulation and back again. Maybe reality warping would be the best.
- Her. And in retrospect, that's all I really need.
