Otherworldly BUMP

Alternative BUMP!

Universal BUMP!

Fictional BUMP!

I remember my childhood. My favorite universe was "Blade Runner"(the movie), then i met "Syndicate". Oh i'm a Cyperpunk fan.

I'm in Darksider and Red Faction Armaggedon

And thanks to Zorder for donating these games.

Not in, I'd like to be in Philip K. Dicks' univers(es), Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep/Blade Runner.

Not in, but if I could live in Zelazny's Amber universe and walk the shadows, that would be very cool.

Also the world in Cory Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom has a lot of appeal to me, although I don't really remember the book so don't remember the negative sides. Still, most fictional futures, even utopian ones, have down sides.

There's another book whose future I find interesting, but I don't remember its name or the author (thought it was Brian Stableford, but apparently not), in which genetically engineered animals replace tech.

UPDATE:

tokisto has donated several games (thank you very much, mate!). As one of them is a copy of Love+, I've added it to the list of prizes, the other ones I reserve them for future GAs. :)

That reminds me of the Uplift stories by David Brin:

"In the Uplift universe an intergalactic civilization called the Five Galaxies, comprising a multitude of sentient races, has existed for billions of years. This civilization is perpetuated by the act of Uplift, in which a "patron" species genetically modifies a Pre-sapient "client" species until it is sapient. The client species is typically indentured to its patron species for 100,000 years. A patron species gains considerable status, and patrons and clients often unite into powerful clans. Patron status can be lost due to extermination, or gross crimes against the galactic civilization."

"It is generally accepted in this universe that the process of Uplift was initiated at least one billion years ago by a species known only as the Progenitors. Humanity is therefore a rare anomaly – a species with no apparent patron race. Whether humanity truly evolved independently, or whether it was criminally abandoned by an unknown patron early in its uplift, is a topic of fierce debate. Most of humanity believes itself to be a wolfling species that emerged into sapiency solely through natural evolution, without genetic manipulation of a patron species. This belief is considered heresy and ridiculous by most of the galactic civilization and has made most of the galactic powers enemies of EarthClan. The fact that Humanity had already uplifted two species (chimpanzees and bottlenose dolphins) when it encountered the galactic civilization gave Humanity patron status, which is one of the few lucky turns it has had in its difficult position as pariah in the galactic civilization. This saved humanity from the likely fate of becoming client to another race through forced adoption or being exterminated for the environmental damage done to the Earth and its native species."

Heroes of Might and Magic II, as a hero
or
Primordia, as an advanced AI with superhuman cognitive capabilities,
or
Eclipse Phase, as a regular citizen.

If we're talking metagame (what really happens vs what it's supposed to represent) then a WoW-like game (Secret World?), as a player character. It'd have been just WoW except I want to fight for Illidan.

Bumped through a wormhole, back to the top of the stack.

Reality BUMP

Last BUMP! I'll close the GA tomorrow, so hurry up if you wish to participate.

(Yeah, I'm looking at you, Stooner :D)

Thank you Thespian, and many thanks to all the donors too. Count me in for Two Worlds.

Regarding your question, I am a Trekker: science, exploration, research, the society, ... all in all, the 23th century on Earth seems to be a good place to live.

Not in but thank you Thespian* for these giveways. If I had to choose, I wish I could live in the Star Wars universe and travel to various planets, meet amazing people etc.
