Time Travel
 

If you were given access to a time machine, what would you do with it?

travel back in time to prevent myself from discorvering gravity with a stonebrick in kindergarden D:

Probably travel back or forwards in time and do some other stupidities than those I've done t'll now.

1.21 Gigawatts!

Destroy it.

i'd go buy some picasso's "amateur" pictures

If I had a time machine....... ?????

I would wonder how the temporal mechanics work out and how things get screwed up if I decided to alter certain events.
And wonder IF I'm able to alter certain events..

Cause... If things didn't happened anymore the way that made you WANT to change them.
Then you don't want to change them in the "New" time line..
Causing you Not to change the event when getting the time machine in the "New" time line, resulting in the "Old" Time line.......

Damn... Sometimes Temporal mechanics Suck... :suspicious:

I'd clearly try to stop myself from my car accident. :-/

And then I'd go back to that holiday in Portugal when I met this lovely Irishwoman... :cool:

You should Definitely read my previous post again.
Cause it could Apply to your car accident quite well... :notrust:

Make sure she calls YOU. ;)

I want to travel back to the point... where my parents lost thier winning lotery ticket (100000 euros :mad:, we only got 10000)

Now that I think 'bout it .... I would probably go back to late 70'ies early 80'ies and give myself some extremely violent buttkicks.

Then I would tell myself to sell my car -(and if needed my house)- and buy a 1% share in that new Cie Microsoft, when we first heard of it on the BBSs we all thought it wouldn't last long, seriously, who needed a bootable disk when you have all that space on ROMs ...... what a weird idea, bootable disks ....

Not to interfere or anything, just to get that 1%.

If I had access to a working time machine, I'd destroy it.
With things so tempting and incalculably dangerous, any hands are wrong hands.

well, altering your own history could be dangerous, making you parents rich or helping yourself find that girl you fell in love with again (see Back to the Future series for examples) could change too much of it to completely screw it up. I myself would go back to 1979 and buy like 10 copies of the original Akalabeth from Richard Garriott, couldnt be too much risk in that :)

Those 10 missing copies will be the reason the AppleII will never become popular, cause those 10 gamers that otherwise had play it will never know it.
One of those 10 would become a gaming addict and a major investor in Unix/Linux/Mac.

So your little incursion in the past will be the reason that we ALL are on Windows now..... :mad:

I hate you.

Yeah. My family call my Mac a 'Cr'apple computer. Damn Windows.

I'd travel forward in time one milisecond after I traveled back in time, yes back, by back I mean I traveled back in time then at the exact milisecond after I traveled back in time I'd travel forward in time inside the time machine where I am currently using it in the future one milisecond into it. Therefore I'd be stuck in an infinite loop.

Ka'swish Negroes, next please.

what if one of guys seen you and said "jesus christ what a loser buys this game, i'm not gonna buy it", then nobody'd buy that game, richard gorriot'd commit a suicide, then everybody who seen it'd commit a suicide too, cause it was really really ugly. and you have 12 DEATHS ON YOUR HANDS


edit: wow, actually 4 people managed to make a post while i was writing mine

I don't think it'd matter much since like 10 copies of Akalabeth were sold in plastic baggies in a nearby hardware store close to his home. You'd probably just buy the ones that he sold before anyone else did which might inflate his ego a little more than it already became back then.

Or maybe it would have prevented him from creating the atrocities that were U8 and U9.

You never know.

Also, no time travel theory in this thread. It's crap, it's not even fun to read or argue about, every body argues about the Donnie Darko retard theory or the Back to the Future buttcakes theory or the Terminator shitnanny theory. No one cares, the only theory there is is the one that Einstein made while taking salvia and chewing on quids of processed fetal syrups.

or maybe you overagrued about it. for a newbie it'd be fun =P

I'm a simple person. I'd go back in time and ride on the back of a dinosaur, then I'd go forward in time and ride on a laser-shooting robot. I'd also probably stop off in between and go dancing at a smoky jazz bar in Berlin during in the Wiemar republic, and perhaps make a detour in Aquitaine to tell Eleanor that she rocked.

That's because they were using the time machine.

Nope.
I deny everything.

_r.u.s.s. was the one who used it, but he screwed up the dial-up and jumped 10 mins in the future.

This just proves that Broadband Time Machines are superior.

:D

Hmmmm, let us not degrade this high quality topic.

Hmmmm, I will debate on the topic starter, verek_22.

0010 If verek_22 would travel back in time
0020 And he would kill both his parents before they ... euuu ... create verek_22
0030 Then verek_22 would never exist
0040 So verek_22 would never travel back in time
0050 And he would not kill his parents before they ... euuu ... create verek_22
0060 So verek_22 would be ... euuu ... created
0070 You may GOTO 0010 now, thank you, have a nice day.

Fags.

^see, blood piggy went back in time and made his mother sleep with a dog

Well, I could use time machine so I will not die from quick, physical hazards. Then I'll use it to travel... to the future which is either post-nuclear or just awesome. And since I am a gamer, I might try to change the World War 2 a bit. Save Anne Frank (could be a few problems there), My grandmother, e.t.c.

Well, then again. Thats is not a greatest idea, even for the good reasons.

Gammer!? I don't want your radiation!

"It will be a silent spring..."

Yuri can eat my waste products.

well if i could save those 2 disasters that where U8 and U9 by just go back in time and buying 10 copies of Akalabeth i would prob seen as a hero to the Ultima community forever on. If they even notice what i did that is, cuz the timeline i get back to isnt the same timeline that i started from.

so the best deal for us all would be that i went back in time and bought just 1 copy of Akalabeth and Ultima: Escape from Mount Drash. And some PET computers for my hardware collection.

That makes no sense your theories are preposterous and I refuse to believe them good day.

If I had a time machine, I'd travel back in time to fix... well some of my BIG mistakes. Especially during my High School days. I've already gone through a lot of reprimands and bullying and whatever bull**** you can think of.

You can't have a time machine.

Some stupid bloke will always be bent on jumping to the original jump and destroy you and the machine or prevent it from working, preventing whatever attemps which could be successfull... :p

To war!

must... resist... wanting... to say.. it...

I take my pc... then travel back in time to 2 days before the Apple 1 pc was invented (the first desktop) then introduce it to the world ;) hopefully the pc's these days are mutch beter then

Secretly... i have a time-machine in my cellar... called a



















Pc... you can search on wikipedia for events that happened back in time

watch silicon valley. and don't double post=/

.......meh, fine with me. Take care.

Hmm... Now that I think about it...
I would start @ looking @ the Old wares list...
Write down EVERY game this site still wants.
Check wikipedia for ALL Gold sites during the gold prospectors age
Go to the past where the Gold prospectors haven't arrived to the USA yet.

Get some of the Easy pickup gold from those sites.
Exchange the gold for cash out of several years according to the written down games in the Old wares list.

Buy 2 copy's of EACH of those games.
Go to the present day.
Make Hard disk copy's of each game (iso's etc.)

Sell one copy of each game on E-bay. For BIG bucks.
Upload the Hardware copies to Abandonia.

And be a Super Rich Abandonian Hero. :)

Also I would travel to the Future first to buy a "crappy" PC/Laptop that would still easily beat every PC/Laptop currently in existence.
And Some (or a lot) very Cheap ass 500Gb USB External Hard Disks..
Cause there would probably be no one who want to buy such small Hard Disk Drives those days....

First of all, I'd get some plutonium to get 1.21 Gigawatts.
Secondly, modify it so it looks like a Delorean.
Third, attach the Flux Capacitor.
Lastly, stop all of you from using the time machine.

Maybe you should reconsider your plans.

Fire destroys fat guy's electronic chair.

Jesus christ, Pigggy, I just watched your AB video, I think you took your voice-box into the future.

Send out the terrorists on the vans!

Huh? What's wrong with my voice jackrabbit?

she means you sound older

Yes. And soaked in whiskey and bathed in cigars. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I’d go back and prevent myself from doing all the stupid things I did when I was younger.

And an older you would appear and prevent yourself from doing this stupid thing.



...... to be continued ....? :wacko:

Thanks for hurting my feelings Lulu, I think I'm going to go have a night of wild unprotected sex and then jump off a bridge. :love:

You Leave That Bridge Alone!

I'm sure you'll love this. Probably Not Safe For Work

Yuagh! No.

har har har, just what i want to look at :P

jesus christ, your genitals should be deattached for posting that

I found it by accident.

Stop insulting Jesus.

SURE :notrust:

You can find it in the info box in this vid.

W/E,
I would go back in time... to get kugerfang a girl :nuts:

Stop turning this into your video thread Kugerfang.

Hm, stop the columbine by blowing up the car before they get to school... Hm...

Theres not much point in rehashing the past in my opinion... but i definately reckon id have a bit of a stickybeak at the future... maybe bring a future operating system back and release it for free to knock microsoft on its arse! :D

And don't forget to bring the needed hardware with you, I doubt the future OSs will run swell on our todays configs.

And the needed software applics...
And a power gen from the future, great chances our VA won't do...
....
And ...
....
You get the point, you gonna need a big truck ....

geez man... your such a killjoy... lmao... how bout i just bring back a slightly newer version of windows... say a year or two... that might work... except they probably already have that

in fact id guess they've already got the next 20 years worth of systems and are dumping the glitchy f'ed up versions slowly but surely in an effort to maximise profits :(

even with a time machine i dont think we could ever win

-depressed more than ever-

you'd get sued for copyright infrigement cause you developed a OS in their name without permission :P

you are also a killjoy... i could change the name to "Doors" maybe :P

how bout "Portholes" or "Wormholes"... although since its a microsoft product "Blackholes" would be more appropriate :)

No need fro that, ysorian, there is Linux ya know.
All you can do in Win you can in Linux, and all for free, just grab it.
Now yeah, you'll have to learn a bit, but that's no problem isn't it?

And for gaming, buy a Sony console, that will hurt MS.
:D

[Edit]
And about changing the name to 'doors', LOL ànd LMAO, really, do you have any idea howmany times the word WINDOWS is coded in the OS ?

[Edit²]
YAY me loves being a killjoy. :nuts:

i dont know.. maybe i could use somethin like an old xtree gold hex editor and zap em all in one go? :oh:

ahhh... xtree gold... how useful u were for old TSR games... 18s for all attributes thank you very much... or messin with dune2... max money, max units...

-sigh- the gold old days...

I'd just divorce her with Father Tully. OR shoot her with my H&KG11E using Burst.

As revenge, I'd go to the day you got laid, and hide your condom. I'm sure you'll understand.

You're determined to be SINGLE, now aren't you? Tsk tsk tsk. Even I wouldn't go too far by trying to forget there was an opposite gender. :)

Then I'd hit his child in the groin with a super sledge.

That was hyperbole.

You're quite desperate to exact revenge. :cheesy:

And yet it didn't sound like it.

Forget about it. Okay?

I'd give Jesus a wedgie.

I'd start a shrimping company with Forrest Gump :idea:

After a little music discussion, I finally decided that, If I had change, I would go back to the 80's.

Ysorian-Gump Shrimping Corporation? That doesn't sound nice.

Lieutenant Ysorian!

yeah... hafta drop the gump part :)
