Check this out. A guy playing KSP inside of Minecraft.

I wouldn't even bother getting it checked unless the BSoD is recurring.

Andy Weir did say that he is writing another book unrelated to The Martian and it uses more traditional (unexplainable by actual science) sci-fi technologies. I'm looking forward to this! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/andy-weir-new-book_us_56731588e4b0648fe302a63c

and then you kept it past it's due date and owe a bunch of money. i clicked it because i always fall for click bait :-(

Nostalgia for me is Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor. This is the game that I was playing through college and is the reason I'm finally completing my degree...15 years later...

3/10 completely confused. and your laziness.

6/10 gotta say too many quotes that run together. i thought it was one, long quote initially. but they are quality quotes so you've got that going for you!

you get it. everything is now nothing. you don't exist. the universe doesn't exist. you have wished into existence the absence of everything. i wish for it all to come back.

Granted. But then your avatar eats you. I wish that time travel was real.

the "Mathematics" article is also an infinite loop. Mathematics -> Quantity -> Magnitude

Your wish is granted, but nobody else gets their wishes granted no matter how beneficial they are. I wish that I could play computer games at the same time that I built scale models.

Sure thing! The winds decrease by .01% in velocity. I wish that Netflix had every show immediately after it aired on TV.

Believe it or not, Scott Manley has approached the topic:

Granted, but your autonomous systems stop working and you are forced to focus exclusively on mentally moving your heart and lungs for the remainder of time just to stay alive. I wish that I were able to buy the parts I need in order to complete my RC airplane.

You are given the keyboard of your dreams and subsequently lose both of your hands. I wish that summer semesters didn't exist.

Granted. They are now arguing about dresses. I wish they would remake The Princess Bride.

Absolutely. max_creative bursts into flames and as he is trying to put the flames out, he burns down your house. I wish that this day would move a little faster.

Granted, it's 42. I wish to possess all knowledge of all time.

Going to have to go with the ENTIRE solution to the problem in the movie "The Core".

You'd be surprised at the tensile strength of quality paper.

An unclear origin does not imply that the first documented source is not the origin. We're not going to agree on this :-) I can agree, however, that the word "literal" is used many times when it isn't actually a literal case. I think that was your point all along.

The earliest source I found was clearly a financial topic. However, in time it has grown to include all of the topics you mentioned. Literally, everything under the sun.

I'm literally the king of the word literal. I only use it when I feel it is appropriate because I too literally cringe when people use it too loosely. However, I wasn't referencing the stock market when I used the word stock, only a generic capital venture (which is why I changed my term in my last post). I could have been clearer and used a different word since the context clearly pointed to the modern stock market. Also, the original source of this phrase is unclear so we cannot be sure of its intended purpose. All we have is that its documented uses have always been in reference to capital ventures.

I'm pretty sure it is a very old phrase that was created to caution people to not invest everything they have into one source of capital gain.

SpaceX is not a public company so you can't buy stock yet. Be careful putting all of your money into one stock. It is literally where the phrase "all of your eggs in one basket" comes from. You could come off a huge winner if it does well but it could also do poorly and you'll lose a ton of money.
