Mine is currently one of these:

Now if only I could justify the price for a custom-made one plus postage and handling from Norway.

Haha, I can't stop laughing. I seriously think the guy who made that one is my neighbour back home. He's always working on some Star Wars costumes (and apparently others as well) in his back yard, and the first picture is taken downtown in my hometown. On New Years eve last year, he was walking around in a Darth Vader costume outside, and this (http://ab24.no/default.asp?page=5349,5554,5987&item=35155,1&lang=1) is him and his kid, I think.
Awesome.
As for geeky desires, I have a whole goddamn folder of them, but I haven't imported it after a reinstall of OS X. Might get back to the thread.
ETA: Most definitely him. Our house and boat are in one of the photos on page 40 :p
-
Most everything I do has some degree of geekery to it. I could be gettin' blown by three godesses and see, already, how I related this to myth and fantasy?

(http://www.coldwarshooters.net/images/PSL.jpg)
The romanian PSL Dragunov clone. Not exactly like a Dragunov, but very similar. I've seen them in a magazine for $700 and I really think I want one.
-
I thought that was a Zastava M76 at first, Troll. I wish EAA would start importing them. I hear the PSLs are nice, though.
I have a lot of them, but I think the biggest one, though the geekiness could be argued, is to get a bunch of land up in the mountains, someplace where it rains and fogs a lot, and have a big house built, gothic architecture mixed with not being horribly drafty like buildings old enough to be original gothic architecture would be. Also would have enough room for a rifle range at least 1000 meters long (not inside, on the property). Making it more geeky, I would store up supplies for the zombie apocalypse. Everyone has a hobby. And yeah, burt gummer is kind of my idol.
-
I want to move to California and work at Amoeba. DAMN YOU FOR TAKING ME THERE, PATRICK.
(actually my secret secret dorky desire is to go on a date with Amalie Benjamin, the Sox beat writer for the Boston Globe)
-

Want one now, right now. My ultimate geeky desire.
-
You're all being dreadfully boring about this.
Me? I want working webshooters.
-
I want the Archimedes.
Wait, what kind of mileage would it get? Shit, I could be paying a fortune! Eh, it's worth it.
-
I want to understand Timecube.
-
I want to have The Force.
-
Sex with Kari from Mythbusters.
Although, I think that is one many dudes have.
-
Right now just WotLK. It's considered a secret desire because my boyfriend did offer to buy it for me, but I said no because I had just gotten a job and knew wouldn't have time/energy to play it. And I really don't. Yesterday was my day off and I spent almost all day sleeping. But I've have watched my boyfriend play it and it looks so awesome. >_< They have walrus guys that ride turtles!
-
Have enough money not to travel the world and live in luxury, just enough to have a flat and not need to work so I could spend all day every day playing through all the video games to completion I never did then lost my saves.
-
I want to live in the future!
-
Be patient - you'll get there.
-
But where are the rocket cars I was promised?
-
I want to live in the future!
And now you do.
-
A fully working Dalek costume I can terrorise kids in
-
I want this complete collection. (http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/6708/images/) Sadly I am broke.
I would also enjoy having every issue of X-Men since the 1980s...In particular, complete collections of Xtreme X-Men and Ultimate X-Men, but also Uncanny, since that is where all of the awesomeness stemmed from. (I would say every issue ever, but the original comics were kind of lame and repetative...I also don't like how every sentence ended in either ! or ? and sometimes both...grrrrrr)
-
I want to understand Timecube.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU WANT TO POSSESS HARMONIC CUBE WISDOM LIKE DR. GENE RAY, CUBIC, KING OF GENIUS?
-
all i ever want is a thermostat-like dial in my house that adjusts gravity instead of temperture.
-
That would be so awesome.
-
It's great until you leave a window open and your dog floats out, only to hit normal gravity and plummet to the ground.
-
i'm actually not as geeky as i may seem sometimes. i'm not into sci-fi or fantasy, i don't read comics, and i'm not a serious gamer.
i would want to write/publish a book someday. yes, i consider this a "secret geeky desire" as opposed to an actual goal, because i'm not actively pursuing it.
-
I want to understand Timecube.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU WANT TO POSSESS HARMONIC CUBE WISDOM LIKE DR. GENE RAY, CUBIC, KING OF GENIUS?
YES.
ONE OF THESE FOUR SIMULTANEOUS 24-HOUR DAYS, I AND I ALONE WILL BE THE WISEST HUMAN.
-
It's great until you leave a window open and your dog floats out, only to hit normal gravity and plummet to the ground.
Or possibly have to re-arrange your entire house every time. :\
-
i just want to be loved...
-
(I am of the mind this thread should be locked, stickied and these last two posts should be deleted. I think it peaked with Matt)
-
Tommy, you make me so sad.
-
Yvonne Strahowski.
But that's not a secret.
-
Not really a secret desire at all, but when the 160GB version of the Intel x18m drive comes out, I am going to be all over it. Laptop-sized drive that's faster than the fastest desktop hard drive, silent, energy efficient, and shock resistant? Yesplz.
-

first of all: i have an Australian Shepherd, she'd be fine.
second of all: obviously, i would bolt everything to the floor that i didn't want floating around. also, things would be bolted to ceiling/walls as necessary.
see? it's perfect. also; i could invite people over who didn't know about it, put on some ankle weights or something under my pants, and slowly reduce the gravity when they weren't looking to freak them out.
they'd be all "did i just get lighter?" and i'd be all "naw"
-
You all just wish you were LedHendrix.
-
<<< pshh Ledhendrix ain't got shit on me. i just don't take pictures of it because i don't wanna steal his glory.
also i'm pretty lazy and not sure where my camera even is.

Magnets would be better because then you could move your furniture if you wanted to.
But yeah, my secret geeky desire is to own and run one of the epicest Pokemon RPGs in existance. Yes. That is incredibly sad. I know.

Your secret geeky desire is to have an MLC SSD? Intel are releasing superior SLC-based SSDs next year.
Anyway, my secret geeky desire would be to write these books I have in my head, then have a decent development studio approach me about releasing them in game format. I would advise the initial design process and then oversee QA when it was near completion. After the games were done the dev company would keep me on to do similar things with other projects because I'd be fucking rad at it.
THE END.
-
I guess what I am saying is that I am tops at telling other people what to do and being really judgemental.
Somebody hire me already.

I don't care that I'm color blind and need glasses! I don't care that I'm not a Warrant Officer!
I. Just. Want. To. Fly. It.
Excuse me, I have to go find a corner now.

Warhammer armor
How hot would one of those get on a summer day?
-
So hot that you'd pour a cup of McDonald's coffee in your lap to cool off.
Johnny Carson said it.

If you can't tell, that's a camera.
-
there are a million films and television shows i adore but i never actually watch television in the literal sense, so one day i'd like to obtain all of the aforementioned films + television shows on disc and then, instead of a tv room, have a room set up to be a little home theatre room with an lcd projector and massive screen and surround sound system and everything. i would sit in that room and watch stuff every day until my eyeballs and eardrums exploded everywhere. it would be so great.
-
Ditto what she said, plus all the video games I've got backlogged. And maybe get my super arthouse zombie movie idea financed.
-
But yeah, my secret geeky desire is to own and run one of the epicest Pokemon RPGs in existance. Yes. That is incredibly sad. I know.
Incredibly sad or incredibly awesome?
-
I wouldn't mind owning a giant battle robot. That'd be pretty excellent.
Maybe I'd ride it down to the shops of a Sunday.
-
I want to GM a steampunk rpg
Shit, I already do that.
Um. I want to live in a sci-fi/fantasy world. Actually scratch that, I wish I was a wizard in Harry Potter.
I cried when I didn't get a letter from hogwarts as a kid. I wish I was joking.
-

It's a render of a camera? Why don't they photograph the thing, I know those exist.
-
I wish I had a tame/rideable dragon and/or polar bear. Also, I want Neil Peart's drums.

I'm fairly certain that is a picture of the camera. The plastic feeling of the pictures is part of the marketing campaign. I could be wrong though, since they are not available for purchase yet, and won't be for a while. If you want more information, check here. (http://www.red.com/epic_scarlet/)
UPDATE: Now that I look at it, that could very possibly be a render. The cameras don't start coming out for public use until next summer, but I do know that at least for most of the brains, they are already being used on feature films.
-

Both.
At the same time.
I'm sort of halfway working on one right now. With the fake Pokemons!

Well, you could just live in a cupboard under some stairs.
Actually, that reminds me...I had this idea once to save space where I'd put my wardrobe in front of the door to my bedroom, cut out the back of it, and then I'd exit and enter my room all Narnia stylin'.
-
Dude, fuckin' do it. That would be so fabulous.
-
I'll do it if you get me a talking lion to put in my lounge room.
-
Get one of these (http://i1.iofferphoto.com/img/item/573/159/51/o_IMRN2WNwYuyR40C.jpg)
-
It would be funnier if the the wardrobe led into your room, so when you bring ladies back to your place you can "take them to Narnia."
-
Dear KK, I want this so much,

Man, I have a couple of big textbook sized uncanny collections. Sadly, they are falling apart.

If only...
-
Man is that seriously a bloody chainsaw Game Cube controller?
That's awesome except for I fail to see what kind of game you would play it with considering the GC has primarily kid-friendly games.
-
It was made to go with Resident Evil 4.
-
oh, also, I need one of these.

Jesus christ, nerf guns have really gotten out of hand. Like, why did they not have this shit when I was little?
-
Oh, man, that reminds me of the office nerf war video. So funny.
You know, when I was playing with nerf, you had to load one at a time for most of them, it was a big deal when they made one that you could load four at once, and had an action that took most of a 10-year-old boy's strength to work. Goddamn kids off my lawn!

Irradiated inhuman wang?

Which will cost a bleedin' fortune. This one is a desire I can reasonably expect to fulfill in the next 12 months :)
-
I want to be in a power metal band with extreme elements.
We will only ever hold outdoor gigs, as I will always enter stage by plummeting to the ground on the back of a great black dragon, laughing manically while pulling off licks of such technical virtuosity that lesser listeners will have their temporal lobes melted.
Throughout this I am wearing bits and pieces of medieval armour. The dragon does vocals.
-
I want to be the Kwisatz Haderach.
(c'mon people, two pages about geeky desires and no one mentions Dune yet?)
Edit: What? 400th Post? What?
-
Um. I want to live in a sci-fi/fantasy world. Actually scratch that, I wish I was a wizard in Harry Potter.
I cried when I didn't get a letter from hogwarts as a kid. I wish I was joking.
To this day, I routinely stop and ponder how much I wish I were a Jedi/wizard/superhero.
-
I want to be married to Galadriel.
-
I wish I were a spy. Like, I actually checked out the potential recruitment avenues into the intelligence services once I graduate. Even though I know I would be the worst spy.
-
i wish i had all the animorph books.
i also wish i had a unicorn friend. :(

Little late to this party and starting a quote tunnel to boot, but that's pretty much it, as far as unachievable geeky desires go for me. Any of those three and I'd be good, though I guess I'd also want to be in shape to be any of those things, as it stands a fat geeky kid with glasses wanting to be a jedi has got plenty of competition with the internet as it is.
Now, as far as other geeky desires that go beyond the ^ obvious, I want to simultaneously be a writer/director/producer/editor/artist/lead video game developer/rock star. I-I think, but I'm not sure about this, that not only are my expectations of life are a bit high but also slightly, only slightly mind you, unrealistic.
-
i wish i had all the animorph books.
i also wish i had a unicorn friend. :(
actually wait who am i kidding. i wish i WAS an animorph. but without the two hour time limit.
an animorph with a unicorn friend and then i could morph into a unicorn
also i wish i was a pokemon master.
-
I want my own AT-ST.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/49/Atst.jpg)
I mean, I'd settle for an AT-AT, but I think an AT-ST would be a lot easier to maneuver in traffic. And it looks like it would go faster, and probably have better MPG.
-
YEESSSSS
Or one of those sweet-ass speeders.
-
Bad spies are all dead spies. food for thought
Man, why you gotta go stamp on my dreams?
Interestingly enough, dead spies are also all bad spies.
-
I dunno. I think a dead body with a wire shoved down its throat could make an effective method of discreetly listening in certain settings.
-
A biiig ugly spaceship would be awesome.
-
Not true Taylor! Good spies can die of natural causes. They're not immortal.

Oh God, I actively WORKED to be an animorph.
ONE DAY, ONE DAY IT WILL HAPPEN.

first of all: i have an Australian Shepherd, she'd be fine.
Dog five!
Aussies are hand-knit from threads of awesome and delightful.
-
I want a Commodore 64, just so I know what some of the first geeks felt like.
-
I have one.
OH BURRRNNNN

Kinda smooshy.
badum-ching!
-

They might've been good once, but after they're dead, they're not much good at spying anymore.
-
Precisely. Who says you'd make a bad spy? Reading comprehension is a facet of good espionage, right?
-
How cruel, Taylor. Sending him out to die and he doesn't even know it.
-
I want a Commodore 64, just so I know what some of the first geeks felt like.
The first geeks were getting old when that came out. I was a geek with a Flexowriter (http://www.blinkenlights.com/classiccmp/friden/) used with an English Electric Leo Marconi KDF9 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Electric_KDF9).
-
I have an healthy fixation for action sports and Halo....

-
I want a Commodore 64, just so I know what some of the first geeks felt like.
I have one too, somewhere in my attic... unless one of my brother's stole it! Ah, I remember playing on that, even though I was tinie tiny when we used it. We did manage to get it to work a couple of years ago though which was fantastic. And I have Rampage for the Wii now, which has the old versions on it!
Now my geeky/slightly strange desires...
Whenever I get one book of a series I always want to buy the rest, just to have the whole series on my bookcase. If there's one missing I have to get it!
And I would love to be in one of those great iconic films, Star Wars for example, or anything that people years later still love. Not even acting in it, but just to be a part of it. I want to be part of something great!! (But then I guess most people do...)
-
I want a Star Trek transporter. I want to be able to step onto a glowing circle on the floor and three seconds later be at work, or at the store, or at my friend's house, or back home when I'm done. All without stepping outside, because I don't like the outdoors.
-
Ooo, that's better than mine. I want that one!

I want a hearthstone, but a bunch of them so if I wanna go somewhere I hold it and 10sec cast time later I am there.
-
Astral Recall. 15 min Cooldown, makes that that trip to the shops all the easier.
-
Man. Life would be so much easier if I at least had a Hearthstone.

Warhammer armor
How hot would one of those get on a summer day?
they can survive the vacuum of space and intense heat, i'm pretty sure they're temperature controlled.
-

-
Excrements are being recycled by the armour to provide emergency rations. (Yes, I read Warhammer 40K novels)
-
i'd use the armor to travel the world on foot.
-
What the fuck is an Australian Shepherd
-
I've been debating between teleportation or Iron Man's armor. Really, I wouldn't complain either way.
-
Man are we talking about superpowers now then? Because I want paradoxless time travel.
-
Well, keeping my geekiness secret in any way is kind of a losing battle, and I don't really see the point in dreaming small.
-
Man are we talking about superpowers now then? Because I want paradoxless time travel.
Okay, and I will take the power to teleport. We can work together and do amazing things.
-
I want mind control, or sylar's power. Brains are delicious.
-
I wanna read MINDS.
-
Urrg, geeky desire?
Dragons, unicorns, kelpies, magic, the whole lot.
I love all of that.
Screw cars.
Give me castles and swords.
That would made me happy.
-
Unrealistic geeky desires, I agree with TwistedRemedy.
In fact, I have a theory that most programmers secretly want to be wizards. What better field for a would-be wizard than one where you can create your own realities with obscure magic words? :)
Maybe that's just me though.

I want to be able to communicate telepathically with fish.
-
That's gotten me thinking, what would fish say? I mean they can't remember what they had for breakfast, what would be on a fish's mind?
-
I have a feeling it'd be just train of thought.
waterwaterwaterwaterohlookfoodohheywhat'sawormdoingouthereohgodpainowithurtshaigotawaywaterwaterwater... and it'd be slower of faster depending on the size of the fish. underwater mammal's might be a bit more sophisticated. Sponges and other invertebrates would say their name translated into English, like Pokemon.
-
I think it would be more like OH GOD GLASS (turn) OH GOD TREE (turn) OH GOD CASTLE (turn) OH GOD GLASS (turn) FOOOOOOD (eats) OH GOD GLASS
etc etc etc
-
Well yeah that might be in captivity, like in Finding Nemo, the captured ones just lose it after a while. I was talking more open water. Unless fish are actually geniuses, and I could be the scribe of fishes and their fishy philosophy and share it with the rest of the world. True fact, fishes figured out global warming and cancer ages ago.
-
"FOLLOW ME, THE TRUE FAITH IS IN THE WATER!!"
so many lives lost that day
-
If we're going superpowers than right now I'd have to go with teleportation but only via shadow. As in the ability to drop through a shadow in one place and materialise out of a shadow in another place. It would go so well with my Nightmare costume that I would be forced to become a super hero...or villain. Depends on the day I guess.
Alternately, my geeky desire would be to write an awesome paper on how sexual attraction develops in a non-visual/visually-limited setting (chat rooms, forums etc...), get my Master's degree and eventually work as a private practise Sex Therapist. Though as this is kind of my life-goal I guess it isn't much of a secret? Maybe I'd fight crime on the side.

Or you could combine these two and be like a version of Trauma who instead of nightmares turns into people's sex-mares.
-
I'd just go for normal teleportation and then pretend it's limited to shadow. That way you reserve the option of surprising the hell out of your nemesis with a snappy one liner and a severe ass kicking.
-
I have an idea for a superhero who starts out one day waking up, only to find that he is slowly turning into paint. Over time, he realizes he has paint powers and can do such cool things as make giant murals through acts of will, hide himself in works of art, and in one case a terrible pun where he shoots out a jet of black paint, on which pursuers proceed to slip on. Another similarly underpowered and misfit hero yells out "Slick! Oil paint!". His true power is the Power of Ideas, one of the methods to defeat an evil force that threatens to destroy the City.
he will NOT be able to paint the future. fuck you Heroes.
-
That's gotten me thinking, what would fish say? I mean they can't remember what they had for breakfast, what would be on a fish's mind?
I am pretty sure my fish is constantly thinking "I hate you," but that is sometimes broken up with "Oh, food! I love you!"
Annnnd, secret geeky desire? A full set of Mandalorian armor.
-
My geeky desire is to own and run a drinking establishment called the "ħ" (h-bar)
Edit: The symbol didn't come out too well.
-
When you're looking for employees, give me a call. I am always up for being at places where geeky boys will also be.
-
I want to move to California and work at Amoeba. DAMN YOU FOR TAKING ME THERE, PATRICK.
You know, I don't appreciate your tone, Shane. :B
-
I have lived in australia all of my life and I have never seen a dog that looks like that nor heard of the breed Australian Shepherd before. Can one of the other aussies help me out here?
My secret geeky desire is to be in a loud, violent, abrasive pigfucking post-hardcore band that cunts the crowd for sheets of noise until the second-last song, when we do an entirely faithful cover of Ween's "Your Party (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=O0ISF95axZQ)"
-
I have lived in australia all of my life and I have never seen a dog that looks like that nor heard of the breed Australian Shepherd before. Can one of the other aussies help me out here?
I've seen them before, but they don't actually originate from Australia. They were a stock dog bred in the USA. I think they got their name from Australian immigrant farmers who used them, or something odd like that.
-
Hahaha, I was almost named Aslan.
Parents is dumb.
My sister is called Menolly, after the character in the Harper Hall trilogy by Anne McAffery.
but my (not so) secret geeky desire is to own a dirigible airship and travel Miyazaki's world(s?).
Something somewhat vaguely attainable is to obtain a mint condition Nikon FM3A, along with a good Zeiss lens.
-

Actually it was my sister (Obsessed with the chronicles of narnia) who wanted it to be my name, my parents seriously considered it.
-
I know a girl named Galadriel. Her sister's name is Rhapsody. Her parents were stoned. Probably still are. They considered naming one of them the sound that you get when you put your thumb in your mouth and pop the cheek, but have it spelled Onomatopoeia.

Man, regardless of how cool the kid actually is, the kind of people who would do that should not be breeding.
My secret geeky desire is to own a ridiculously large shop chock full of gorgeous vintage instruments. I would never allow anybody under the age of 18 inside. No fucking kid deserves a $150,000 original '58 ES-335, I don't fucking care what anybody says.

You would likely have to frequently clean drool off of the windows.
-
I would put rat poison on the windows.

My sister is called Menolly, after the character in the Harper Hall trilogy by Anne McAffery.
Oh shit I read those books when I was little! With the tiny fire-lizards and all?

Guys, think about this.
Sex with a gnome.
Okay, now think further. They're half our size.
So is that half the vagina?
Or double your dick? :-D

Gnome sex??

Intense boob-smoosh on the left side. I think her bra might be getting a bit small.
-
A gnome is giving her oral and you are concerned about her bra sizings?
-
He already has a girlfriend so he doesn't realize what women look like anymore.
-
THE GIRL'S BOOB IS GETTING SMOOSHED! BOOBS SHOULD NOT BE SMOOSHED THEY SHOULD BE GENTLY CARESSED AND POSSIBLY NIBBLED UPON
-
Is it a geeky desire to want lots of websites?

Oh man fuck I change my goddamn choices! I want a pair of bronze fire lizards, I'd name them Poncho and Lefty.
-
I always wanted be in that big brother game but here is the tricky bit, I'l walk with the suitcase and never open it when others are around and when its night i will open it and take out two foot dil*o and beat everyone to death with it.

The very same, my family is such a bunch of various nerds (myself very included).
I read them when I was little too, thay still hold up well upon re-reading too, damn good bokks the lot of them.

I want a pocket sized digital camera and an eee pc so I'll have a mobile blogging assault kit.

Warhammer armor
How hot would one of those get on a summer day?
Adeptus Astartes Issue Power Armour is fully enclosed, allowing it's wearer to operate in everything from blistering heat to arctic winter. Only the Mk. I "Thunder" suits are unenclosed, but these suits were only used on Terra, during the tail end of The Dark Age of Technology and the Age Of Strife. When the Great Crusade began, Mk. II "Crusade" suits were implemented in The Emperor's first Astartes legions.
Yeah, I totally want a suit of that too, including the full Space Marine genetic upgrade.
-
I want one of those tube-powered computer sound cards. How fucking radical would it be to process homemade recordings on that thing?
Especially since I plan on having at least one tube-powered guitar effects pedal within the next year. FUCK YEAH 12AX7
-
Don't you have a solid state amp, so putting a tube pedal through it would be near pointless?
-
The idea is that I'd only be using the amp's clean channel (which, with the tube emulation turned off, sends a perfectly unaltered signal [excepting EQ] through the effects loop circuitry). And I'm getting the Tri-Mode pedal (bypass/od1/od2), meaning that I can have a super clean tube channel and a tube crunch channel.
Besides, I plan on selling that amp and using the money to get a Fender Blues Deluxe. I have used such an amp before and holy fuck, what an experience. When I combine it all, I'll be able to have a clean channel, an overdrive channel, and a FUCK YOU channel.
-
I've found that putting a tube amp into a solid state - even on clean - loses a lot of the effect, because the tube sound can't really be reproduced through a signal, it needs to be produced by pushing the tubes. But hey, Blues Deluxe means problem solved (more than that, those things are fantastic).

I'm bumping this thread just to say want (http://www.ecogeek.org/content/view/945/)
-
I want to live in the future!
How's this for the future?
-
HE SAID FEAR ME AGAIN, KNOW I'M YOUR FATHER
REMEMBER THAT NO ONE CAN BREATHE UNDERWATER
BLACH BLAH BLAH BLAH HERE'S YOUR FUTURE
YEAH HERE'S YOUR FUTURE
-
How's this for the future?
I was hoping for a time of worldwide prosperity and technological and cultural enlightenment. But this future's got potential.

I want a Star Trek transporter. I want to be able to step onto a glowing circle on the floor and three seconds later be at work, or at the store, or at my friend's house, or back home when I'm done. All without stepping outside, because I don't like the outdoors.
Star Trek transporters scared the shit out of me since I was little. No continuity of consciousness, as demonstrated by numerous accidents they've had with the damn things on like every series. Same thing with cloning experiments a la Sixth Day, or going back in time to fix your past (cause you're really fixing someone else's past at that point)
I just want to be an astronaut! A dream currently shattered when I got type 1 diabetes at 14. I still plan on doing it, if I have to get rich and pay my way I will. Oh, and I want to build the worlds fastest piston driven, single engine sea plane. A record currently held by the Macchi M.C. 72 set in 1939 at 709km/h.
