Using the Force

Do you ever try to use the Force? I often do when I'm either too lazy to go get something or I'm under a blanket with a cat and don't want to get up. I also try to use Jedi mind tricks sometimes. Occasionally the person happens to do what I want, but it's usually a coincidence. Or is it???????

NOOOO!

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I read the Walking Dead comic books and watch the TV show (I highly recommend them). The new episode last  night was the mid-season finale, so now I'm all mad because I don't think the next episode comes out until February. I don't wanna wait till February! I don't want to spoil what happened in the most recent episode if you haven't seen it yet, but it was big, so I want to see what happens next.

Some Stuff I Want To Do

• Slowly walk away from an explosion
• Throw a lighter into a gasoline-soaked pile of something
• Shoot something with 2 pistols while falling through the air
• Crash through a window
• Drive a truck through the wall of a building
• Drive a car up a ramp and into the air, then land and keep going

Nightwing

I find the character of Nightwing very interesting. As the first Robin, he was by far the lamest of the lame, as far as the bat family is concerned (I'm sorry but it's true). But then he grew up and realized that it's cooler to dress in mostly black and call himself Nightwing than to dress in primary colors, a short cape and a speedo, and name himself after a cheerful bird. And now as Nightwing, he's one of my favorite Batman allies.
                                

IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ALL OF BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, DO NOT READ THIS!

Since they landed in Africa in Daybreak (the last episode), what happened to all the Raptors? Did they destroy them, or are they still there somewhere? And what's the deal with Starbuck? Also, are the Cylon Centurions still out there in their Basestar? One more thing: was Anders actually not all brain dead the whole time, or did he just sort of come back at the end? And that piano player was never really there, was he? I just realized that after watching the whole show for the 3rd time (that's right - the 3rd time).

Kung Fu Panda

I recently watched the movie Kung Fu Panda (I don't know why), and I noticed a ton of references to other movies. The training scenes reminded me of Pai Mei, and the turtle even did a version of the five point palm exploding heart technique. The two fight scenes between the Panda and the evil guy and the little master dude and the evil guy were both very reminiscent of Neo and Agent Smith at the end of Matrix 3. Jack Black also mentioned the invisible trident of destiny....Pick of Destiny reference?

Sound Effects

I want there to be sound effects for things I do. Especially that whooshing one that movies use a lot for when I do things like turn my head quickly or something like that. I also want a variety of narrational music for whatever I'm doing that everyone can hear. It would be good to be able to turn it off though, in case I either get tired of it, or it would reveal my thoughts when I wish to conceal them.

What kind of underwear does Superman wear?

This is actually a serious question. Is there some kind of Kryptonian underwear that he wears, does he wear earth underwear to fit in better, or is his innermost layer his supersuit? Or is there some other option that I'm not considering?

Smoke Wings

I want to be able to fly, and any style would be awesome, but there are some that I like more than others. The one I want most is to generate some sort of enchanted black smoke-like substance and shape it into wings, with which I would fly. I would also enjoy eagle or demon wings, but what I really want is for wisps of black smoke to thicken and form wings that I could dissipate and reform at will. I also want to be able to make other things out of it, like a cloak or a shield, or tentacles.

Another Power I Want

In my earlier post about powers I want, I was referring to preexisting, traditional types of powers. But now I'm going to talk about a weirder and more unusual power I want. I want to create and control trains. I would want track to appear a couple feet in front of the trains I summon, and disintegrate once the back car had passed. I also want the track to be able to levitate and/or float on water as well as just sitting on the ground. It would be good for running stuff over, transportation, creating a barrier, and lots of other stuff! the possibilities are endless...well maybe not endless, but there are a lot.

Vehicles I Want

Here is a list of vehicles that I want (in no particular order): the Batmobile*, the Owlship from Watchmen, a STAP or landspeeder with guns, Ghost Rider's Flame Bike, the Batwing, a Cylon heavy Raider, any vehicle Halo besides a Mongoose, an APU from the Matrix (or one of those knockoffs from Avatar), General Greivous' wheel bike, the Silver Surfer's board, and a bunch of others that I can't think of right now.

Werewolves

Sorry, I know I've been talking about Skyrim a lot, but I just thought I needed to share some cool stuff. My nord, Bjorn, is now a werewolf who kills for cash (dark brotherhood and companions). Lycanthropy one of my favorite things / abilities that he has because there are no major disadvantages when you're in human form, and you're so powerful in beast form. It's also cool because you can change once a day and the duration is extended when you feed. And for those of you wondering how to become a werewolf, here it is in 3 easy steps: 1. join the companions in whiterun 2. do a couple  quests until the bald dude tells you to meet him in the underforge 3. go meet him, then he and Aela the Huntress will turn you.
            

Skyrim

Excuse the expression, but Skyrim is frackin' awesome! I'm a Nord named Bjorn, in the Theives' Guild, and plan on joining the Companions, the Dark Brotherhood, the Imperial Legion (if possible) and the College of Winterhold. And I just used a forge to make some cool armor, including an iron helmet and a banded iron shield, so now I look almost exactly like this guy:
      

Harry Potter: It All Ends

The slogan on the Deathly Hallows part 2 posters was "It all ends" and now it has. Yesterday, I bought and watched it, so now I have no more Harry Potter stuff to look forward to. I'm kinda sad about that, since between the books and the movies, I've spent a lot of time waiting for the next Harry Potter to come out, and now it's over. The last step was for the last movie to come out on DVD and to watch it at home.

IT'S OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They now have acted; It's finally here. Bethesda told of the Elder Scrolls's return. The Fallout games were merely a delay. That in the time after Oblivion was released, the sons of Skyrim would get their own game. Few wanted to believe; to believe a new Elder Scrolls game could even exist, but when the gameplay trailer was released, the truth dawned in fire! There is one that other games fear - one that will steal many of their would-be customers. It is known as The Elder Scrolls V........Skyrim!

PS: I applaud you if you understand that last bit.

Powers I want

I think some of the coolest powers to have would be really fast teleportation, creating and controlling huge storms, shapeshifting in the style I talked about in an earlier post, and super powerful telekinesis. So basically something like Movie Azazel,Thor, Clayface, and Jean Grey. If I could pick four powers to have, those would probably be my choices.

2 Days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THERE. ARE. TWO. DAYS. UNTIL. SKYRIM. COMES OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so so so so so excited! I have been since I first heard they were making it, and that was long ago. Of course, I was just reading a book that used the words sky's rim. Internally, I was in agony when I read that. 

Glidey Cape

As you can probably tell if you've read a lot of my earlier posts, I really like Batman and I  really want a lot of his stuff (primarily his Batman stuff, but also his Bruce Wayne stuff). One of the things he has that  I want most is his cape, or as I call it, his "glidey cape". Not only do I think I would look awesome with a big black cape, but I would love to glide around with it! It's also a good safety device that makes falling off a high place into a fun opportunity to do some gliding!
 

Mjolnir

Getting Mjolnir* (and being able to use it) would be one of the coolest things ever. Turning into a god, flying, smashing stuff, controlling storms - it would be so much fun! Sadly though, I doubt I'll ever get it. Not because it's fictional or anything like that, but because I know right now that I would be really irresponsible with it. I wouldn't kill anyone, and I doubt I would even seriously injure anyone, but I can easily see myself flying around and destroying rocks and stuff, or making it rain on people I don't like.
*Shame on you if you didn't know that Mjolnir is Thor's hammer!

Batmobiles

I really want a batmobile, but I'm kinda picky when it comes to which one I want. The old Adam West version is basically just a regular car with some bells and whistles welded on and with all due respect, is pretty lame. I'm also not a huge fan of the old comic book one with the face on the front and the one fin on the back. It just somehow seems too narrow or something. The only other comic book version that I don't love is the one from the Jeph Loeb / Tim Sale trilogy (Haunted Knight, The Long Halloween, Dark victory - read those if you haven't). Besides that, I like pretty much all the other comic book versions (especially the ones from Batman: Hush - Jeph Loeb / Jim Lee - also read that if you haven't). I also like the one from the relatively old movie with (I think) Michael Keaton, where it has a cockpit near the back and it does that thing where it deploys all that armor on it. Then of course, I also like the new one from Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and soon, The Dark Knight Rises.
 

November 5th

Remember, remember the fifth of November; the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot!
I just remembered what day it is today and wanted to wish everyone reading this a happy Guy Fawkes Day!

                 

Shape shifting

I think shape shifting would be one of the coolest powers to have. Ideally, I would be like a combination of Clayface and Odo from DS9, where I'm usually human, but I could also turn into other people, animals, or things. I also want to be able to turn into a big blobby monster form like Clayface. Some shape shifters can copy voices and some can't, so I would hope to have that ability. I would probably imitate Shao Kahn and the Halo announcer guy's voices the most.          

         

                                                         

Video Game Power

In a very early post of mine, I said I wanted the power of a cartoon character (http://geniusideasandstuffiwant.blogspot.com/2011/09/cartoon-power.html). I was recently thinking along similar lines and I also think it would be cool to have the power of  a stereotypical video game character. They respawn after dying, being injured, or even on the verge of death, never seems to hinder their ability to fight, beating enemies restores health and power, and have lots of other little advantages. I also think it would be to have a video game made starring me.

On Liquid Metal

I don't know if you've read my earlier post about wanting liquid metal that I could control (http://geniusideasandstuffiwant.blogspot.com/2011/09/t-1000.html), but a friend of mine thought of something almost identical at about the same time before I ever mentioned my idea to him, so I thought I should give him some credit. I also just realized that I forgot to mention that I would want to make it go from solid to liquid and vice versa at will.
