International Association of Time Travelers: Members' Forum Subforum: Europe – Twentieth Century – Second World War (http://www.abyssandapex.com/200710-wikihistory.html?1)
This is really, really clever. :laugh2:

Crap. Even in 2104 we have trolls?

In 2104 we may only have trolls.
You know, the concept in that article would make a ---smurfing--- incredible concept for an episodic videogame series.
-
They could call it.....ummm...Wolfenstein!!
-
Eh, the Wolfenstein series was mostly about escaping from a Nazi camp. Nothing like this.
Expand the concept a little and you've got Time Travel Cops, going around history undoing stupid things that irresponsible time travellers had done. Even if you want to keep the scope narrow and keep unkilling Hitler the concept lends itself to quite a few ways that could be done compellingly. It's a little Quantum Leap but if you did it without being all preachy it wouldn't feel like that.
Or, you could just go back to the day of your best friend's wedding and put a banana in his tailpipe.

Couldn't pull up the story but Chad's last post reminded me of this show:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyagers%21
Not sure if you'd be old enough to remember it Chad, but it wasn't too bad.
-
Interesting. We didn't get NBC where I lived in 82-83.
-
Clever bit of humor there...I liked it! :applaud:
-
Oh, and I liked the Voyagers...i was only 11 or so when it aired though, so :dunno
-
I couldn't stop laughing after the 1907 paintings.
-
Finally got the link to work; that's some funny ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. Reminds me a few people here....
:angel:

I was halfway thru before I realized it was fiction. :laugh2:
If you have seen some of those Star Trek Wanna-be forums, you would think those guys were serious too.
-
So Chad you want a video based on the movie time cop?
Wouldnt going back in time and killing Hitler make you not go back in time and kill Hitler in the future?

wait, you thought people really WERE going back in time to kill hitler?
-
Getting back on topic, you guys should read "The End of Eternity" by Isaac Asimov. It's one of my favourite sci fi novels. Very thought provoking and much better than his robot books. As far as I am aware, Asimov was the first novelist to really explore the true implications of time travel.
-
That is funny, it helps that we're all forum junkies I'm sure.

You could always go back and fix that. ;)
P.S.
I actually went back in time to post this when it was a current topic but I saw bulletin 3295 stating that you can't go back and change the course of a thread already in progress.

Where is old Chad anyway? He hasn't been around in over a month (very unlike a guy with 29000 posts LOL)

He depressed so many people near him that the pure density of their outlooks on life created a black hole, sucking half of New England in?
-
He's alive and well - just taking time off from the hobby.
-
I corresponded via email with him yesterday. He ain't dead yet.

Whack!
Now hurry and put him on the cart -- I've still got to go to the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
(Yes, I know I adlibbed...)

Interestingly, he's only added ~9,000 posts since 2008.
