Planes can fly, but humans can't.

And we never will be able to fly (on our own). When I said "geek dream" I meant something that could be a possibility. Human beings sprouting wings and flying is impossible.

Stop harshin' our dreams, yo.
Individual flight is certainly possible, given a small/safe enough power source, personal jet-packs are within the realm of possibility. As is some sort of personal anti-gravity. Not any time soon, per se, but if we crack cold fusion (or make an unrelated yet still awesome discovery) it's there.

Little Big Planet 2 today!!!!!!!!!
Collector's edition of course.
In Feb, Marvel vs Capcom 3...now if they would just say Mega man is going to be in it and stop making me wait. Oh and Dante from DMC has 40 special moves...that is absurd. I will master him and he will love me. Love his Demon form Super combo

I just got back from seeing The Green Hornet. It was okay, I guess. Kind of reminded me of the movie "Kick Ass". Hmm, I wonder who would win, Kick Ass and Hit Girl vs. The Green Hornet and Kato. lol

Live-in and I picked it up after work last night. I like the story levels, he likes the created levels. I made it through the first full level only because he wanted to play some of the created ones, and we were actually responsible and went to bed at 11pm instead of staying up all night like we both probably wanted to.
Tonight I have work stuff to do but I will probably play it a little more through the week (although Live-in just got a couple of games that he wants to play, too), but he works on Saturday so I'm planning on scooting through as much as I can.
What I really love:
I can play with my friends without meeting up with them in person (read: I want to wear my rattiest PJs ever while playing this game). I didn't have an account while playing the first one, so I'm not 100% sure if you could do that before, but I love the "join the players" aspect of 2.
Also, the story aspect is more interesting so far.
CG I think you might actually like Little Big Planet. The "story" levels (if you can call what's in the first version an actual story) are kindof similar to Super Mario Bros, but you collect items that help you build your own worlds and you can play the worlds that other players are creating. It's got a social networking aspect that's really quite interesting.
Plus, the sackboy is cute. Well, mine is a sackgirl right now. And she's freaking a-dorable.

The story is MUCH better this time. I had limited time to play because of 2 dogs last night but I'm in love with the grappling hook. I'll probably check out some user created stuff as well since some people make some really great stuff.
My sackboy was Cole from iNfamous. Now he's the Human Torch lol. He may be the Green Goblin later...or Gonzo.

I have trouble managing the grappling hook - I think it's because I want swinging with the grappling hook to be just like swinging by holding on, but with longer "arms," and it's just not the same.
The hook is awesome, I just need to work on figuring out how to use it. I left a lot of items because I got so frustrated and just wanted to move on, but I figure at least there's something else for me to gain by going back and playing those levels again.
My sackgirl is 100% created by me right now - I was thinking about going with a theme of some sort and I love how I can use the costumes from the first game in the second game, I just need to be feeling a little more creative when I do it.
Do I remember Cole had some sort of something awesome attached to his arm in Infamous? The grappling hook would make a nice accessory in that case.

(I'm like a Death Knight for you WoW people. Unholy spec) I can give death a new life and manipulate it as a main power. Secondary power would be being able to know one's fears.
Maybe I am evil lol

Worth is an understatement. Easily one of the most creative games I've played in a long time with all of the stuff you end up being able to do. Plus it has Sackboys.

and I am still sticking with my answer.
Haven't we all seen enough Buck Rogers / James Bond flicks to wish it possible?

I wasn't trying to get you to change your answer, it's just that we've already accomplished flight.
