ulitimate amibition

As the title says, what is yours.
i seem to have achieved most of mine, though I would still say I am not satisfied.
Such ambitons as working on tombraider or jak and daxter have already passed me by.

In fact I probably only got in to games because I enjoyed playing games like tombraider so much. I would have proably still been a commercial artist other wise.

I suppose this isnt my 'ultimate' ambition, but to finish my game that I'm working on would be nice. (considering the difficulty of the project)

To set up a 1950s style American diner...and to get a Buddy Holly autograph!

Are they really rare, or something?

To start my own software development studio.

To be a successful, professional filmmaker and actor. I guess if we're going for ultimate ambition, then to get an Oscar... Actually, ultimate ambition would be to own a jet pack. With lasers! And a talking guidance system with a dry sense of humour!

My only goal in life is for my gran to finally die without me resorting to kill her. Thus leaving me to live in absolute happiness.

I suppose it is not an ambition as such - but it is the most important thing in my life for her to die - preferrably in a slow and painful way (slow being a maximum of 2 weeks of intense pain, then death).

Are you Paul Merton?

* note to self: no-one is going to get that 'joke'! :P

does paul merton own a jet pack?

lol. No, but he's always going on about them on Have I Got News For You. :)

Well i saw one in America for $2,500.

My ultimate dream is to figure out what my ultimate dream is and then persue it.... had enough of drifting :)

--------------------
"Those people who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with a life of mediocrity"

To have loads of money coming in from previous projects so I hardly need to work and if I do work it's on my favourite thing, game design! yeah. Then I can live anywhere in the world as long as it has fast Internet connections.

1. To net myself a beautiful girlfriend
2. To build a fully operational flying saucer
3. To write a world famous computer game

In that order.

Aston Martin Vanquish.

1. Someday being able to set-up and run my own (succesfull!) 3Dsoft/model company...
2. Buy mid-80's Porsche 911 Turbo
3. Building a house I have designed for me and my family (I have BA in Architecture)
3. Having so much money that I can travel around the globe with my wife.

These are not impossible dreams at all - in fact I know that every one of them is doable within next 5-10 years... but my dreams have always been modest; no "going to the moon" here! :)

- Become President of the United States after finally getting a successful game studio running itself for me and winning a lifetime achievement award from my peers in the game industry. Afterall who better to become president than someone who organizes huge systems of variables for millions of people to have fun?

Of course that would be on top of a bunch of other things ...

- Make my first million by the age of 30

- Create the Leadfoot Productions campus, complete with development house, school, video game museum, and racetrack out back

- Win the US Open Tennis Tournament

- Create an Alessi GT 500 sports car

- Run a full marathon

- Be the lead singer in a band

- Knock out Mike Tyson in a heavyweight boxing match (would have to put those 40 lbs + some I just lost back on though :( )

- Fly in a space shuttle to the Mars or the Moon

- Surf the North Shore of Oahu

- Write a successful series of fiction novels

- Create a movie based on my life, my fiction novels, my sport aspirations, etc...

- Own a sky scraper

- Marry a Victoria's Secret Model ... or Jessica Alba

- Create and prove a physics theory ... like on how gravity actually works

- Live to 150 years old at least

- Appear on the Tonight Show ... a lot!

So basically ... I would like to run business like Donald Trump, dazzle people with intelligence like Stephen Hawking, entertain people like some sort of Shigeru Miyamoto/Steven Spielberg super hybrid, make cars that spank Ferraris, run circles around Lance Armstrong ... while he's on his bike, open for Aerosmith, and then lead the free world to peace and the final frontier!

Wow ... I could go on an on with this but it's 6:30 AM and I haven't been to sleep yet!

Jeremy "Make my first million by the age of 30" How old are you now?

Hello.

Ideally, I'd have no ultimate dream because that suggests a last sleep and I really don't want one of those. I'd like to dream, every night, forever if that's ok with you.

Goodbye.

"My dream.. is to have a dream.."

hey, Thats ????> @#!* <???? easy. You dont even have to be able to sing!

Just get a cheesy smile, a snazzy hair do, and a slight beard, and youl get through the next X Factor no problem.


(or, since you didnt mention you had to be in a KNOWN band, how bout popping down to your local school?)

To be in control.

Craig: I have a printout in front of my PC that says "I am in control of my life". Well I was once, then I had kids, now they control EVERYTHING!

26

JA: 250K a year then for 4 years, or a ramp up so maybe yo earn 500K in the last year? Good luck.

My ultimate ambition is to watch my son grow.

I'd like to have children, but my Doctor says I need a boyfriend first.

hehe

My ultimate ambition is to be happy but failing that I'm quite happy being sad although not as happy as I would have been had I been happy which is a bit sad.

My ultimate ambition is to revolutionize the universe at least twice.

Hehe, me too ^^

To make lots of money while doing as little work as possible.

Some of my other less noble but cool ambitions are to meet Jackie Chan and the (remaining) cast of Star Trek.

I want to grow my own food...maybe get a couple of pigs, few chickens...build my own house...supply my own electricity with a wind generator...and keep away from everybody...maybe write a few books and take up painting and sculpture....I reckon I'm going to end up somewhere towards Moldova in the mountains.

Yeah but will you hoard guns and ammo in the event of civil unrest?

Yep, be a fool not to.

anyone say "win the lotto" yet?

It seems you need to be one of the following to win the lotto:
1 - Old
2 - A criminal
3 - Loaded anyway

I don't quite fit any of those so I've given up buying tickets. :P

LOL, that's something I forgot to put in my list ... I want kids bad! It's really strange but in the last few months pregnant women are really attractive and also if I see a girl that's really good with kids ... treating them nicely etc... they become like 10 points more attractive. I haven't found Ms. Right yet though ... I think she hit her head and is wondering about all dizzy and can't find me.

I don't think I ever considered it like an ultimate ambition though ... it's definitely an ambition but I don't consider it to be anything crazy since just about everything on the planet reproduces and only a few build their own sky scraper etc... So I'd be happy just being able to live off of my game development career and have a family but if we're talking ultimate ... then I've got to go nuts because that's the kind of stuff I think about.

Now that's totally inaccurate... "second opinion":

:)



That's just pure luck... I'd rather make it happen by myself, feels much better to achieve my dreams through hard work than pure luck.

Curiously given some of our previous exchanges on the threads that shall not be named, that's not far from my dream too.

JA Yeah, but wait until she gets them in the supermarket and they see the chocolate aisle. That's the true test.

Get a second opinion. (doh, someone already made that joke)


Yeah, I've noticed that too. Isn't it weird?

My ultimate ambition is to change society's perception of technology. I'm trying to do that through game development.

Other than that my ambitions are more modest. For example, it would be great if my girlfriend and I could find jobs near each other so that we can finally live together again.

one of my ambitions is to make a tactical espionage action game that's better than metal gear solid or splinter cell.

Nope - it's just your hormone levels dropping... :) Around 20 you wouldn't give rats a** if the girl was good with kids, but if she had big boobs and blond hair... later, say around 30, your hormones ease up and you start to look good mother / wife material and THEN (sadly) most big breasted blondes don't seem that attractive (mentally etc).

Yeah you're so right ... although this one I know is a BBB and she was being really cool with kids ... which just made her like 1000 points more attractive ;)

That explanation makes sense, except that I've kind of always been this way. My theory is that I make an unconcious generalization that if a girl likes kids then she's more likely to be fun.
