i tried to make extreme sports more extreme by adding fire

That only work for nicks, dude.. sorry...

Well, without the extreme sport part it is still often bound to fail... Damn it is always so embarrassing to run around with eyebrows missing :-S

The entire city of New Orleans. Let's build a city way below sea level, and just hope these levees hold. Seriously? Who the hell came up with that idea?

Those guys from the Netherlands I believe

i haven't actually failed this yet, but i feel like i am destined to. i am attempting to learn Japanese through watching anime.

i'm doing ok right now, but i'm unable to watch much more anime without paying for it.

Where to start...

pogo stick crutches
Gyroscope shoes
the iJesus
edible staples

and many more crushed ideas I'm forgetting.

I think the iJesus one just made my day.

Ehhm true ~ talking about New Orleans. What I meant was that the Dutch build almost a whole country below sea level. So they are the oldest culture that came up with that "nonsense" and didn´t get washed away till now - at least google couldn´t tell me about older examples.

But this thread is about failed attempts and Amsterdam seems to be holding up pretty good

In 1985 I tried to learn Japanese as part of my training to become a ninja... That just didn't pan out, but I can still say "underwear, frying pan, and toilet in Japanese."

That'd be because Ninjas are Chinese. They hate it when you mix them up. In fact, THERE'S ONE BEHIND YOU RIGHT NOW!

If history had tough us anything is that we don't learn the lessons history teaches us.

How did the Ninja part go?

About as well as my idea to be a travelling archaeologist, discovering ancient ruins and foiling ancient traps with my excellent whipping skills.

Well? We're all waiting to hear Underwear, frying pan and toilet. In the same sentence preferably.

You Learn all 1080 rules of true ninjaism at your second day. Unfortunately, I caught myself a splinter from my bamboo blowtube on the third day and decided that becoming a ninja wasn´t worth all that pain ~

which causes a dependency loop, so the constraints cancel themselves. I have no idea how to make it work.

Want to build this thing in real life? Hmmm.... I have it! The solution is to make the hot part hotter, the cold part colder, and then add some fins, flame decals, and a minigun.

*At Chernobyl:
"I know, let's see what this button do"*BOOM*

I don't think it went down quite like that, it was a bit more complex. That's more like what you would see in a Polish Chernobyl. Sorry.

Actually it was kinda like that. There were two buttons. They knew that button 1 does it right and button 2 does it wrong. Some guy pressed button 1 but for some reason the button 2 scenario happened.

Far Cry 2, really good ideas, shitty execution

That's not how it happened, it was because of bad design choices, enough water didn't get in to cool the radiation and...BOOM

I once tried to make custom content for Halo Custom Edition for PC. It didn't work out so well...

Spoiler: Screenshot

Funny enough, what I was trying to do had nothing to do with the character model so I have no idea what I did or how I did it.

Now, because I want to pick on someone other than me, I'd like to point out one of the failures of Mattel. The Power Glove. It may have been an innovative idea, but it didn't work on all games, and even the games it did work with didn't make adequate use of the technology. It was a bad idea to try to mix motion sensing controls and video games.

*awkward silence*

Err...what I mean is, I love the Wii. It's so bad.

The power glove is cool just for its sheer uselessness, how many videogames can you play with a glove while looking cool?

Really? They had a "wrong" button? I told them not to hire those Polish engineers. Sorry. But I really don't think they had a "wrong" button and I don't think it was as simple as someone pressing a button. Spartan Bannana confirms this.
