    I got this idea from comic books, but how about we start doing articles on "What if?" scenarios?



    I think that it would be a clever twist and people would be highly interested in some of the things that we could come up with.
    I just submitted an article about What if the Pokemon craze never happened?

    The possibilities are endless like- What if G.I. Joe was based in China? What if PBS was cancelled? Or what if MAC computers outsold Windows?

    Changes in the past would have a huge impact on our development and the current world that we live in today.

      It sounds like an interesting idea. What If? scenarios can provide you with a lot of thought...So, I look forward to the article. I hope it does well.

            Some of those What If comics were pretty cool.

              What if? It was Nintendo instead of Sega who gave up console support?

              What if? Digimon was more popular than Pokemon?

              What if? *insert famous artist here* hadn't killed himself?

              Yeah the possibilities are endless on this one. Good luck finding the most interesting ones!

                What if Crispin Glover were in the sequels to Back to the Future? I always thought George McFly wouldn't have been shot, would've had a bigger role, and Crispin would play other relatives such as Seamus.

                  Hey, thanks!
                  Well, they don't have to be the most interesting just a little thought provoking and as long as they make for a good read that's all that matters

                  Yeah, I was thinking about artists too- if Kurt Cobain was still alive would the grunge movement become a worldwide phenomenon?

                    Is it okay if I kinda borrow you "What If" idea though. I've got a really great one concerning Sega and their steady decline but if you're already on to something like that I'll refrain from writing it. So basically I'm asking permission as this was your idea and all.

                      Definitely dude, that's the reason why I posted the idea, to have others join in too.

                      You Sega article sounds really cool! I did write an article that should pop up any day now about what if the Dreamcast won the console wars. You probably could pull off one on Sega just fine though!

                      Pokemon and Dreamcast are the only topics i've done so far, everything else is totally free game!

                        Mine goes a bit deeper than that, starting at the Genesis era. If it's too similar in ideas I'll just drop the idea and write about something else. Looking forward to you article.

                          I was thinking of making a "What If?" article. It would have been something like "What If American Idol Existed from 1967-2001?" It was going to list possible artists who would have won and what their winning single would have been. I'd still have to do a lot of research on it and find out what solo artists in the rock and pop world launched their debut albums every year from 1967-2001. I would appreciate a little help from any music experts on here.

                              Well with the 80's and 90's you could consider the contemporary artists of those days. The boybands of the 90's for example, what if they had an American Idol focused on boybands in those days? Or what if someone like Madonna started on American Idol? It's a really good idea though. Can't wait to see what you make of it.

                                      Care to elaborate? Do you mean something like "What if Spider-man was never created" or something like that? Well whatever. if you have an idea go for it!

                                      Incidentally, I just submitted my What If article about Sega, expect it soon enough! It gets pretty tongue-in-cheek after a while though, not that there's anything wrong with that. Anxious to hearing what you all think of it.

                                        I should do one on wrestling with a bunch of senerios, what if Andre beat Hogan at WMIII? What if the montreal screwjob never happened? What if Sting was the third man in the nWo as originaly planned? What if ECW didn't go out of business? What if the Invasion didn't suck? The possibilites are almost endless with this one.

                                          This really is great that a lot of people are showing interest in doing their own What if? articles! We should have a couple of them (done by other people) coming in pretty soon!
                                          I just found a new idea for one but it will require some research and due to the fact that I have tests coming up, it might take a while but it will be worth it
