Granted.
You share the dreams of mortal women.

I wish I had an extra week to get all my uni stuff done in.

Granted, but your teachers decide to give you additional homework and papers and exams to compensate for the added time you now have.

I wish I could make some of my 'friends' in real life not treat me like such shit.

They ditch you.

I wish Blizzard had competent tech support and return times.

I did. They stop treating you like shit. Instead, they ignore you.

I didn't intend to be spiteful.

Granted. You succeed in not being spiteful. You end up awakening Dusk's inner Tommy DeVito.

I wish every trace of Internet Explorer 6 would suddenly and inexplicably vanish.

IE6 Disappears. Somehow that erases the existence of IE7 AND IE8 as well, forcing everyone back down to IE5, and IE won't work on XP (or >) and thus everyone and their dog (that doesn't use firefox) downgrades to Windows 95, and virus makers have a hayday.


I wish someone ELSE would pay my visa bill for me.

Done. You now have a large billboard in Time Square stating how much money you owe Hugh Hefner with live feed to when his Mob Men beat it out of you every week.

I wish I could find my start-up disc to get that hunk a junk in the corner up and running.

Done, you find it and it works! But your computer refuses to start anyways.

I wish I could teleport up north instead of having to drive 13 hours.

Done. Teleport successful (In best Starcraft voice) Your upper body winds up home and your ass end in the Zelphi-Beta-9 Quadrant.

Granted, teleporters have rendered aeronautics an obsolete technology. Here is a bucket if you feel sick.

I wish Nintendo would stop churning out mediocre shovelware designed to swoon little girls and lonely middle aged women.

Every decent game is now stamped with the Nintendo Seal of Approval and are all now 100% Nintendo Hard. AotZ now requires you have superhuman reflexes to avoid instant death, the computer in Half-Life 2 cheats like a twinker, Team Fortress 2 now comes with 1000% extra traps like that damn ceiling one in Egypt, the opposing team can throw across the field in Madden...

I wish Backtrack 4 actually worked.

Granted. It works, but you end up outing yourself as a failed script kid.

I wish plan 9 from bell labs had a decent desktop environment.

Granted, but the only way to actually have made it happen is to make all other desktop environments suck, recently in such a drop of standards for desktop environments that plan 9s is what is considered as state of the art.

I wish I knew what happened to both my Arcanum and Bakdur's Gate discs so I could actually play them.

EDIT: New Wish since the previous hadn't been granted yet.

I wish my hard drive had not decided to up and die for no reason what so ever, losing ever picture, video, music file, document, and game I ever had saved to my computer (Approx. 132 GB)

Your hard drive magically begins to spin again, your data magically restored. Weird thing though, you're computers not even on. Hell, it won't even TURN on anymore. Whoops :? :?


I wish I had a pet zombie. That wouldn't eat me.
