I don't intend for this to become the new "Smile" thread, for just increasing your post count.

Post a single reply with a list of 10 things you want to do or accomplish or experience before you die.

Mine follows (not in any particular order):


1. Paraglide
2. Win a substantial Lottery
3. Visit an active Volcano one more time in my life.
4. Visit Alaska
5. Visit New Zealand
6. Design, complete, and publish my own computer game.
7. Do some Special FX for a well known movie, and get credit for it.
8. Get High Bandwidth Internet connection in this little town without having to be a millionaire.
9. Retire without worry.
10. Travel, travel, travel...

  • RandyRandy Master Storyteller
    My number 11., which should have been in among the first 10:

    Convince the world of the worth of 'Interactive Drama'.
  • RhettRhett (Not even a monkey)
    Lets see, this is really hard and I these arent really in any particular order (other than the order I think of them).

    1) Be remembered for doing good.
    2) Go to space (another planet, ect.)
    3) Take down Micro$ft
    4) Serve
    5) Create a really good PC Game
    6) Make a movie that noone knows anything about before going to see it (they dont know the plot, the characters, anything), Impossible,but...
    I'll think of more and post them. I think #1, 3, and 4 are the most important to me though.
