enslaved by our robot overlords, or living in a post apocalyptic nuclear holocaust

dejawolf · Nov 2009

which future do you prefer?

Paul Pepera · Nov 2009

can't it be both?

eld · Nov 2009

both sounds so cool, I cant pick

seforin · Nov 2009

Robot overlords, Maybe we might get cool USB ports in our heads in live in a fake dream world versus our skin melting and constant radiation pain of nuclear Holocaust

ZacD · Nov 2009

Living in a nuclear holocaust? I've played Fallout3, it wasn't too bad.

rolfness · Nov 2009

nuclear holocaust.. mm chicks with 6 breasts...

Zwebbie · Nov 2009

How nice are these robots?

Josh_Singh · Nov 2009

Living in a nuclear holocaust. I am a slave to no man. or robot.

Autocon · Nov 2009

i chose holocaust because i want a leather jacket with only one sleeve!

Ged · Nov 2009

I take robot overlords because I would join the rebels and overthrow them whereas in a nuclear holocaust your enemy is radiation and thats not easy to overthrow

Yeah, but we all know how badass Terminators are, and let's face it - if you did survive the initial blasts and subsequent fallout, it'd be like rolling a D20 on the random mutations table!

Uncanny. I came into this post with these EXACT words at the ready.

So? :P

Shogun3d · Nov 2009

I gotta go with post apocalyptic. Something about running through shopping malls and scavenging free stuff like nuka cola bottle caps sound fun.

Ferg · Nov 2009

yah gotta go nuke apoc... just gotta to have my wasteland empire complete with my very own master blaster

What an awesome poll question.

Nuclear Wasteland Hands down.

Robot chicks are totally overrated. Everyone knows that they mechanically starfish in bed.

Radioactive chicks? Well DAMN! They make me wish I had 3 hands!!

oXYnary · Nov 2009

I dont know. I think Robot Overlords can be defined in a variety of ways more than Terminator. From Matrix to Cyberpunk. Who knows, maybe they could make more rational decisions than our current. And wont decide to use the human race as joint grease.

Anyhow, I think of robot overlords via Deus Ex with the option to join with Helios and becoming a new god.

Oh, and where was the option of Zombie infestation?

Firebert · Nov 2009

no dude... that shits a steampunk model kp made

brandoom · Nov 2009

Robots.

I'm the One.

Slum · Nov 2009

Depends. If its like the matrix, I take robots. Otherwise, I played Stalker...seemed ok. I'm down for whacking mutant dogs with pipes.

Em. · Nov 2009

Well, I WAS all for nuclear holocaust but now that I see my robot overlords....

Shogun3d · Nov 2009

This should have included a zombie holocaust option seriously. Milla

rube · Nov 2009

I chose my robot overlords. I think it's going to happen anyway so I may as well get used to it.

Zack Fowler · Nov 2009

I choose robot overlords because, in terms of recent games, it's definitely not getting enough love. Nuclear wastelands are also awesome, though.

Mezz · Nov 2009

I'm going with nuclear holocaust.
If it's robot enslaving, than it could be really powerful robots that make it really hard to rebel, it could be mind-fuck, out-of-body expereinces like in the Matrix, or yeah, I guess it could be hot robot chicks, but still, where does that leave me?

With post-apocalyptic, you KNOW what you're getting. It won't be pretty, but at least you can smash windows on weapon depots and grab your weapon of choice. And hey, if you're lucky, the nuclear mutation will be cool, like a third arm or superpowers!

Dude, I got original glass negatives from 1880's of women doing rather tame stuff by today's standards. "Perversion" has been around since man.

I choose post apocalyptic, you got wanna-be bad-asses trying to be the boss, endless fighting and people trying to take your shit. You don't wanna add robots trying to kill you to the mix.

We can form the Toronto Resistance Faction!

crazyfingers · Nov 2009

sorry to brake it to you guys but the odds of us being "enslaved" by robots or at least at their mercy in our lifetime is pretty darned good.

Considering the fact that (apparently) IBM achieved a cat-level intelligence with the use of super computers, and the fact that a programmable quantum chip with 2 qbits (1 qbit chip was made a few months ago I believe) already exists, I wouldn't me amazed if by year 2020 or so (provided the world doesn't end in 2012) we will have artificial intelligence comparable to the generic bot from I, Robot.

Too bad my dice tend to roll ones.

Can't I go with crystal spires and togas and immense telepathic and telekinetic powers for everyone?

Well a little over a year ago the total computing power on the internet was greater than that of one human brain. By now it should be close to or over the power of two human brains... by 2025 it should be greater than the total population of the US.

holocaust clearly won for the possibility of mutating

bugo · Nov 2009

I'm sure it wouldnt be like Fallout or I robot, but lets say nuclear holocaust would be cool

Still, even a one would probably give you a pretty mean facial disfigurement....

Does that mean a 20 would give you a little friend on your chest who goes "Quaaaaiiiidddd..."?

brandoom · Nov 2009

Have you guys considered the possibility of both?

The nuke thing could happen, and THEN the robots come out from middle earth to enslave us.

Orrrrrrr maybe. The robots in middle earth cause the nuclear holocaust!

Keep your electromagnets beside you just incase

Or as a result of the nuclear holocaust everyone goes insane and believe we are being enslaved by robots. But their just squirrels wearing tin cans

danr · Nov 2009

fucking hell ... a post-apocalyptic nuclear holocaust?

You survive the apocalypse, and then someone drops a holocaust on you? Thats really sticking the knife in and breaking it off.

Robots, please.

Frump · Nov 2009

Robot Overlords. I like the different possiblities of it. plus I am much more of a whore for sci-fi than simple post-nuclear holocaust stuff. Besides, we probably would have all died in said apocalypse. At least if we just get overlords we have a better chance of staying alive. And yeah, you don't know how strong their grip is. They could be benevolent overlord robots like armies of asimos and hot chicks. You could get robotic implants and become a cyborg and maybe be let into their robotic society. If they were evil overlords you could always escape or rebel and live in a shitty colony somewhere which would be a lot like the pose-holocaust stuff anyway.

t4paN · Nov 2009

Man this poll isl ike the ending of Deus Ex 2. Way too constricted options with no middle ground. I abstain.

nuku-leyar apocalypse all the way! I've been preparing for the inevitable zombie holocaust for years, so those skills will serve me well in the wastes.
