A Futurama MMO. It's the best idea I've ever had. Even better than the superliquid waterslide.

Bad idea!
Everyone would want to be Dr Zoidberg, obviously.
It just wouldn't work.

This is one of those things that wouldn't survive the transition from television to gaming very well.

And yes, everyone would play as Dr. Zoidberg.

Quite simply, no one can.

Yeah, may not work. But I think the novelty of being able to play as Dr. Zoidberg would probably carry it at least through the first few weeks of release!

Zoidberg is my least favourite character, I really don't find him funny. I just don't get him I suppose.

Oh, you don't play as the actual characters. You choose from human, mutant, robot, Decapodian (Zoidberg's race), etc.

Or a Neutral! That'd be pretty awesome.

Meh.

I think what really needs to be made is a zombie-based MMO. Heavily pvp oriented, you could play as a zombie, or a survivor...

The ability to play as a zombie doesn't sound very tempting to me...

You spot a surviror.
You walk slowly towards the survivor.
Survivor spots you.
Survior blows your head off with his shotgun.
You respawn at a certain point of the map.
You start searching for survivors again.

You mean something along the lines of Urban Dead (http://www.urbandead.com/)?

I forgot about that. It lost it's jazz way too quickly. Only kept me entertained for a few days before it got repetetive.

I just recently found UD, and like it a lot. However, broswer based MMO's aren't my thing. A full-out, UD-esque MMO could be great.

Ok, every liquid has a certain amount of thickness; even water. A superliquid has no thickness, and thus, when moved, will never stop moving.
