Title: Good idea for a game
Post by: X123 on 10 April 2003, 00:23
Here is a good idea for a game:

Your mission is to obtain the windows source code. You will complete missions all over the world and more. You will be armed with a laptop (with linux on it) and some automatic weapons.

Who wants to make a game about this?

If anyone does then here are some ideas for the levels:

Microsoft HQ (Well duh)
Bill Gates' mansion
FBI HQ
A secret Pacific Island base run by microsoft

Sort of a nerdy James Bond?

My game involves 3 of the 4:
Some evil baddass's mansion
CIA HQ
Random Island run by evil badass.

If you substituted "Bill Gates" for Evil Badass, you'd love my game   (http://smile.gif)

Your plan assumes Microsoft source code is valuable, that is highly debatable.

How about your mission is to remove windows from every computer in the world, and destroy the source code, and every other binary copy.

I like this one better.  The back could say "rid the world of evil, destroy windows.  But it cannot be destroyed by any means we here posess.  It was made in the dark chasms of MS HQ in redmond, only there can it be unmade"

OK, that is a blatant copy from Lord of the Rings, not a quote, but a copy.  But you get the idea.

Not true. I'm sure Microsoft has copies of the source code in different countries in safes and what-not.

It doesn't have to be realistic, you guys. It's a game. The character could have different weapons, like the Tux Bomb or something.

The Tux Bomb eh? Maybe a virus carrying a barebones kernel and small fat32 file for working space that erases windows from the computer and downloads linux components?

still, i don't think i could get personally involved in the storyline if the aim was to get windows' source code. who wants that anyway?

Well if you show it to the public then microsoft will lose a lot of money and people wil find out that microsoft has been spying on them.

what you mean the real source code? i thought this was just a game. also i doubt people would be able to find the spyware in the windows source code all that easily. you are assuming it's all neatly commented and all the functions are called sensible names and so on. remember who you are talking about.

No, I mean a physical bomb that looks like a penguin that can be dropped on targets from the air.

My story line is better, because I rule.

Have it you can play as Tux.

You have a big rocket launcher.

Lots of guns.

The most gory graphics.

And have a wolfenstien style fight with a robotic bill gates at the end. (Of cource not Wolfensine style graphics).

Actually, it would be a nice nethack mod.

How about:
You go back to your 6th grade English class, and have your teacher teach you commonly misspelled words and proper English.

THEN you can come back here. But I'll flame you for being an impersonating, idiotic little cunt.

Have a nice day motherfucker!

Ok, here's my game idea, you are a giant penguin and you walk around and talk to people and convince them to not use windows, you can also sneak into office buildings and install linux on all the computers at night and stuff.  Its a social game.  sometimes though you will encounter stupid people who just won't change from windows, then you have to kill them.  If you kill them with a handgun, you get 10 points, a knife is 15, 40 for a machine gun, 55 for cutting off their head with a samurai sword, and 70 for cutting them to pieces with a chainsaw.

That game was sounding really boring right up until the end of your post.  ;)
