Giving away one GOG copy of Technobabylon (Deluxe Edition so including the extras)

Topic of the thread: What would you do if you could spend 24 hours in full-feedback cyberspace (called "Trance" in the game)?

Describe in flowery detail and unapologetically what your day would look like, and try to be honest. Share your deepest desires! It's a simple task but not an easy one. Keep in mind that in cyberspace, pretty much anything goes. Also, let us know if you're going to activate full feedback or only partial - you can adjust depending on the activity. If you're going to spend your day as a window cleaner inside your local shark aquarium then you might want to not turn on full feedback in case you get eaten.

Please say if you're in for the giveaway or just participating in the topic. No minimum rep or join date requirements, redeem code for yourself please. Giveaway closes on Friday June 5th. You can edit your entries until then to add more details if you wish to do so.

Edit: The most interesting (as in entertaining/insightful/original/detailed) entry wins, so feel free to add as many details as you want to personalize your ideal cyberspace experience. Thank you!


Short review of the game here

Nope.
+1

It's been a long time since I entered a giveaway, but this game does look great. I'm in.

What would I do? What would I do. Oh, man, let me tell you....

First I would [REDACTED]. And I'm not talking about with just one... hell no! Five. NO. Ten! Ten at once, I mean, why not? I'd have one of 'em [REDACTED] while her sister [REDACTED - WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU] and the rest of them would be busy [REDACTED]. Then, after that, a nice relaxing dip in the pool to recharge, when suddenly the [REDACTED] [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] with huge [REDACTED] until [REDACTED] pretty much everywhere.

Yep. That's what I would do.

[EDIT] awalterj has asked for more detail. MORE? That wasn't enough for you? OK man, if you insist, I mean, strap in and get ready, because this is going to be one wild ride:

[The following wall of text (approximately 25,000 words) has been REDACTED in its entirety. In addition, the local authorities have been contacted and neighborhood schools, zoos, and pastry shops have been put on alert. The user's IP has been banned and may God have mercy on his soul.]

Not sure how this cyberspace works, but simply flying would be cool. If not possible, I'd go base jumping. Without the parachute hassle of course, well, and only partial feedback I guess ;-)
Limitless free-diving, that's without freezing and the need to breath, would be my next activity and afterwards I'd lie several hours in the sun without getting a sunburn or worse and in the evening I'd be out for a party, with loud music, smokes and lots of drinks, as long as the hair of the dog stays cyber.

Excellent review, awalterj! I've played all the mentioned games, so it gave me a good impression of what to expect from Technobabylon. Wadjet Eye has never let me down so far, neither as developer nor as publisher. Glad to see they're keeping it up.

Not in, but thanks for the giveaway! +1


EDIT: Um, being married seems to change ones point of view more than I expected :-)

I think someone may have edited my entry above... ;)

No STD's? If its Microsoft cloud we would all go home with RCOD - Red Cock Of Death!

Hehe, probably and in the Apple cloud you'd have to buy an extra app to have a cock at all. But hey, at least it'd come with a bitten apple tattoo.

Well, besides obvious sexy time with virtual versions of girls I'd probably never have sexy time with in real life (for a myriad of reasons, including lack of interest on their part or lack of interest in doing the necessary effort to achieve it), I'd probably spend quite some time living through extreme situations, you know, free fall, head on car collisions, atmosphere reentrance, being a survivor trying to escape a hellish invasion on one of the moons of Mars, etc.

Another possibility would be to discover what it is like to be in the body of a girl, though that would pretty much lead into more humongous amounts of sexy time.

Anyway, thanks for the giveaway. I'm in, of course. ;)

I laughed a bit too hard at this. Well done.

I'm in for the giveaway! Thanks for the chance!

Now, 24 hours in a virtual world? Hmmmm...

I would probably be so overwhelmed with all the information, that i'd be to tired to even blink! XD

I would use full feedback.

Morning:

1. Work on the Enterprise (2009 film-verse), and go out with an Orion girl. Don't you judge me, they're awesome XD

2. Play as a courier carrying a vital package filled with brains across the Ishimura during the necromorph infestation (dead space)

3. Be in a light cycle race against Jeff Bridges, Jet from tron 2.0, and Scarlett Johansson, with her in a very tight cyber-suit.

Afternoon:

1. Spend a while on Pandora; its bioluminescence is beautiful, and would make me feel calm. Plus, SPACE DRAGONS. :D

2. Have fun at a fully functioning Jurassic Park; dinosaurs NEVER get old. I would love to see the t-rex or velociraptors in glorious, high-def detail.

3. Play in a simulation of Tomorrowland (the location in the film, picture included), and build some stuff (jetpacks, robot dogs, robot dogs with built-in jetpacks, etc.)

Night:

1. Go to a simulation of the Citadel, and dance with an Asari. Actually, make that 2 asari XD

2. Go to dagobah, and talk with yoda, maybe about how to be calm and focused in a totally digital world (he could be a therapy AI)

That's it!

Thanks for the giveaway and +1. I'm in.

Am I really the only one who would look for the thrill of monster hunting in a virtual fantasy RPG world?

Virtual sex is no replacement for the real thing. We should all know that from Demolition Man. :-)

What an incredible giveaway! Thanks very much for the opportunity and the creative exercise - I may or may not be in depending how many people ultimately enter. I'm spending some time creating my entry, and I had some questions about the way virtual reality works in the game's world.

Is the virtual world all connected (like if 2 real people are in the virtual world, can they meet each other, or are they in 2 separate yet identical virtual worlds that don't impact each other?) Are there other people? If so are all the people present in the real world copied into the digital copy of world? If there are people (I'd imagine there'd have to be), how are they programmed to behave? Does the all-powerful AI read everyone's personalities/behavior traits and then replicate them with extreme accuracy so when you chew out your boss in VR he behaves as he would in RL? Or does the user's brain influence the happenings (like one entrant said they'd have sex with people who normally he wouldn't be able to, is that feasible in this VR because his brain makes it happen or, how does it work?!)

Looking forward to creating mine, the juices are flowing.

Oh, the ratings seem good, so I'm in, thanks.

24 hours in full-feedback cyberspace??
LOL, probably only games & porn.

However, If there were a system to learn things easily like in the Matrix movie, I would surely use it as much as possible instead of the above.
