Title: Pipe Dreams
Post by: Laina on March 13, 2016, 11:41:39 PM
Y'all got any of those? Sure ya do, you filthy human scum, you. Let's share 'em!

One of mine is to have a CVDF convention actually. Get all the gang together for a face to face meet & greet, have some venders selling sweet CV & other VG & anime/Japanese related swag, possibly get a few panel guests, write vaguely threatening letters to Konami in our own blood, the well holding this dread ink drawn from our very veins being a cursed Sumerian urn baked in the piss of a virgin goat eons ago - you know, just a have a real gay old time.

I'm interested in hearing what lurks deep in your souls everyone!

みなさん、始めましょう!

I can remember when I was very young saying that I wanted to become a starship captain. Don't know why I said it. But given the way things are going here on earth, then yeah, that's a real pipe dream right there.

I always had a dream to buy a mansion with a library recessed into a cliff side with a library which cantilevers over a clashing of waves and looks something like this (https://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fvideochums.com%2Ftop10%2Fuseless-castlevania-secrets-3.jpg&hash=54f2e8a8f3450a7491a04698dc631542242a10db)

Step 1: Buy Braham's Mansion
Step 2: Retire
Step 3: Insert said library
Step 4: ????
Step 5: You now prossess Dracula's Swag  8)

I want to be a bestselling author with at least one movie franchise deal based on my work.

I always wanted a real life Pokemon/Digimon companion.... Pokemon Go does not count. Pets don't count.

Just don't sign on to anything Hollywood promises you or anything remotely related to them. They'll f@#k you over and over again.

Say what you will about her writing but Stephanie Meyer made out like a BANDIT with the Twilight films. Her business savvy is impressive, even if almost nothing else is.

And if she can do it with writing of a quality I surpassed years ago, why can't I?

I wasn't talking about that, but the general ideology of Hollywood itself. Where did ^this^ come from anyways, lol?

It would be pretty simple, cliched, adolescent stuff for me. I'd want to be rich enough to have a huge house with dedicated rooms to my hobbies: a basement for gaming (yes, it HAS to be a basement) featuring a glass case for the nicer stuff in my CV collection (stop laughing); a "library" for comics and any books I'd want to collect/read; a room big enough for a gym with free weights, squat rack, etc.; an arcade separate from aforementioned game room filled with games from the mid 80s to the early 90s (and a full bar!); an entertainment room to watch movies/tv/etc (and another bar!); and what the hell, might as well throw in a racquetball court too, or something.

See? I told you it was adolescent.

I would just add the basement needs to be well ventilated and also have its own ensuite for gaming marathons.

The toilet should have the classic roll of toilet paper on one side while having having an adjustable arm/ cradle mechanism which can take any preferred handheld console. Of course there would be a wall mounted pump with hand sanitiser nearby so nobody could "dirty up" the classics.

Damn it, I REALLY want that Castlevania convention...could someone be a lamb & get a kickstarter going on that? We'll make a special financial reserve for getting Iga to come. I just wanna smell that cowboy hat of his...just one...good...time...

I've always wanted a home movie theater. Like, with an actual 35mm projector and prints of my favorite movies. That's literally never going to happen unless all my money goes toward nothing but that, but the next best thing is having a (smaller) room dedicated to a really swanky digital projector and surround sound setup for watching Blu-rays and, eventually, 4K UHD Blu-rays.

Not sure if I'd do bolted bucket seats or just comfy couches on a self-built stand with two or more levels so a good number of friends can cram in there comfortably and see the screen. Depends on the size of the room.

I'd wanna do it in a basement, of course, with low-level lighting on the stairs and walkway like they do in actual movie theaters. And there'd be a concessions stand with candy under glass and a fountain pop machine with some o' the faves. And an antique crank cash register just because.

Doing this would require me getting a house first, so yeah, that's a pretty big hurdle.

If you Google image search "home movie theater" you get a lot of fascinating work and designs people have done. I'd doubt I'd go that lavish or if I'd have a room that large, but it's cool to peruse.

Really? wow.
I just wanted his autograph.

I'd ask for his hat then you could smell it all the time.  :D

Honestly, you guys should just go to MAGFest.
I meet many of my old friends from both ICVD and from earlier times in the Dungeon.

I saw RichterX at the latest one, as well as Tweeter, SnappleMan, and Succubus.
Plus, you'd hear me and the MGSO perform music in the hallways! :D

I don't have pipe dreams that often, but my buddy Mario and his brother have them all the time.

I've thought about it. Perhaps one of these years I'll fly out there. Sounds like you and Sindra frequent; Tina and Snapps when they can.

I sometimes see Sindra, but I did not see her the last time I went.
It's a large festival, with lots of different events, so we just missed each other, this time.

MAGfest is kyool, but I want something dedicated to CV itself & us. :3

I think the majority of you are pretty neato, and would like the chance to know you in some sense beyond the compy screen. I think Castlevania AND Silent Hill deserve it too, something dedicated to them by people who remember & love them from way back when, what with the way Konami has been raping their corpses the last few years.

And the hat thing was me being humorous, guys. You know, pretending to be a crazed fan of Iga & his direction of Castlevania, like what them Mercury Steam folk dun thought we was...yes, pretending...mm, yes...
