World Hopping

[Enne]

Do you ever find yourself watching a movie / anime / TV show or playing an MMORPG or console game and wishing that you could live in a world like that, or just 'step in' at will? If so, what world? Mine are usually a mixture of Star Wars and N'AGE.

 

[Felan]

I do that with lots of things, books, games, roleplay, television, and movies.

I might do it too much actually.

 

[Sugarpop]

Lord of the Rings.

I think I'd go to live with elves/ents/hobbits. Possibly I'd just cruise about on my steed.

Well, if someone would ask me this in reallife my reaction would be "Well, d'uh!"
So, yes, of course i would love to visit different worlds

Which ones specifically would depend upon if i would be able to join just as a 'ethereal' visitor (meaning an observer that just observes and would not be subject to the world. So no deamons or magicians or Dark Sith could harm me ). 'Cause i'd be interested to observe (and interact in communication, but not 'physically'/bodily) many worlds, but i don't have a death wish or wish to be tortured or anything like that, lol.
If i couldn't choose to just be immaterial observer (like a ghost or something floating around like will and tlak with people), i would choose much mroe harmless worlds

I wish I could step into the world created by Fatal Frame 3. I would go into the Manor of Sleep, and would seek out people who are special to me.

When I read fantasy or watch films, this happens automatically for me. I sometimes dream very vividly of being in those worlds as well. I read Lord of the Rings when I was around 10 or 11 and spent a lot of time in the woods behind the house imagining I was a part of the story, not a specific character, but myself transplanted in that world. I even dug a hobbit house into the side of a hill and used a trash-can lid for the door. The Forgotten Realms world was also the subject of a lot of my fantasy adventures. As I've gotten older I don't play at being in the worlds anymore, but I still catching myself fantasizing about being in all kinds of different worlds.. most recently they've mostly been of my own creation though (I've been developing an idea for a fantasy epic for as long as I can remember). I'm always myself though.. I don't try to pretend to be something/body I'm not, but imagine how I would react to those worlds.

i've created a pretty extensive world that i've always wanted to use in a book (or even series) that i'd want to visit. the nice thing is, since its my own creation, i can visit it in my own head and change it on whim (which i do almost everyday when i'm at work).

 

[Waterstiller]

Any of the Team Ico games.

 

[snowqueen]

Waterstiller!!!!!

Yay!!!

[snowqueen is truly happy to see you]

this has made my day.


oh and I want to be in the Tomb Raider Egyptian worlds and Myst/Riven

 

[DynamicMind]

Oh, I do this all the time! I kind of visit other worlds in my head all the time, though, I guess.

If I could choose any world to be a part of, I'd actually like to be in Harry Potter. Silly, I know, but Harry Potter lives in a very quirky world...and I like that. I've also wanted to be a part of Brave New World, just so I could observe their society more closely. I have occasionally caught myself wishing I could be my character in Runescape, but the I remember the alarming frequency of my death and am forced to reconsider. I pretty much do it with any fantasy world, though.

I spend a lot of time living lives in other worlds, though. Acting out scenarios in my mind keeps me occupied quite well, the problem being that I can't turn my brain off when it's time to sleep. (but, hey, who needs sleep?)

 

[Vegard Pompey]

As often as I do imagine myself being somewhere else, I'm content with this world, just give me a Death Note.

 

[Fleur]

Yes, and a lot.
When I was younger, I was always mentally living somewhere else. The settings and themes eventually changed (there have been so much that it is hard to remember each of them, right now I only recall some "spy world"), and currently I am doing it to lesser extend than before, but I don't think I would ever be able to cut it off: everytime I try, my mind struggles against it.

Actually, there was a period when I was conviced that I have schizophrenia.
