Alright, Liberty fair enough you win. I really didn't know that they could make fluorescent bulbs that look like the old ones so I guess that works.
A Global Warming video game
author=Link_2112lol is that because of Global Warming deniers? Yeah unfortunately some people think it's a political issue but it's not.
A portion of the population will claim that the game is unplayable.
Everyone should want to protect the environment. We'll likely lose most of the world's coastal cities from flooding if we don't try to change things.

Dude, anything that contains mercury is NOT environmentally friendly. Maybe as a humorist commentary on modernization someone could do a modern lightbulb over a modern cartoon character.
"Using compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) is an effective way to reduce energy consumption and prevent greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change.
CFLs use up to 75 percent less energy than traditional incandescent light bulbs, last up to ten times longer and can save about $30 or more in electricity costs over each bulb’s lifetime.
The use of less electricity, in turn, puts less demand on power plants, thus reducing the amount of greenhouse gases, mercury, and other pollutants released into the air. Each CFL can prevent more than 450 pounds of emissions from a power plant over its operating life.
Using CFLs can also help to reduce cooling costs in your home. They emit about 75 percent less heat than traditional bulbs. About 90 percent of the energy emitted by incandescent bulbs is heat, compared with the 30 percent released by CFLs.
If every American home replaced just one light bulb with a CFL, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, reduce more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to that of more than 800,000 cars."
That's a qoute from Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
An idea I had for a Pokemon game
The only Pokemon games I ever finished was Blue and Yellow version but I do know a bit about how the series has progressed and months ago when X and Y released I saw that the main character seemed to live in a very wealthy area.
So, I thought maybe they should do a Pokemon game that's the exact opposite where you play a kid who grew up in a ghetto and instead of a goal of beating the elite four his goal is to open up his own gym which could bring tourism and commerce to his neighborhood. The game would basically focus on raising money for the poor through the use of your pokemon.
Let me know if you like or hate the idea.

...you do realise that there are versions of the new, enviro-friendly light-bulb that look exactly the same as the old one, right?
Can't say I've ever seen a fluorescent bulb that has that shape or are you talking about LED or some other type?

Why should it when it's still recognisable? It's like the answer icon on a lot of phones are still the old phone icon. Nobody questions it because it's become more than just 'that thing'. It's now a symbol synonymous with 'phone' in general. Besides, don't know about you but I still have normal light bulbs. They ain't exactly gone yet, dude.
Well I like the old phone icon and don't have a problem with that staying. But, basically my reason for wanting to see the new light bulb instead of the old one is because the new ones are better for the environment. And it could be a subtle way of showing that people should be more concerned with environmental protection.
But, here's perhaps a more direct reason for switching the light bulb idea icon. By using the fluorescent bulb's imagery it shows an idea that's better and new. Whereas using the incandescent bulb icon nowadays might feel like what ever idea that character is having might not be a good idea.
I realize some people still have the old bulbs but they are being phased out around the world for good reason.
Anyway, despite all this I do see where you are coming from though cause at the end of the day you can say that the old bulb is more of just a symbol now that is synonymous with having an idea.
A Global Warming video game
I already found the answer to the first part of this question.
How do you think a global warming game should play?

When a cartoon character get's an idea sometimes they get a little light bulb over there head. I haven't seen this iconography used in a while. I'm wondering if it were used in a modern cartoon, game, or etc. would the incandescent bulb be replaced with a fluorescent bulb or do you think the old icon will stay the same? Personally, I think it should change with the times.

Prepare to die!
...sorry.
Welcome to RMN! I was classically trained as well, on the NES.
Dang, I wanted to say it.
Speaking of Princess Bride I wish they made movies like that again and I don't mean remakes we have way too many remakes these days. I'm just saying I wish there were more new movies that had the same kind of spirit that this film had. Although, my favorite 80's film is the Neverending Story.
