Wish granted, but it is in monopoly money. Also, you broke your legs to get ahold of it.
I wish I had some more stuff to do. It is too boring around here.
Granted, in the form of a 6-month ban from the EVE Online forums. This should give you plenty of time to think up new things!
I wish my Pilgrim was dark like my Curse.

I wish they would make another Homeworld game
It's being made. It won't come out until 2018. Maybe.
I wish time would go by faster.
Granted! Sort of. You are abducted by a brilliant but misguided amateur pharmacologist who was kicked out of med school in his second year. Something about ethics. And watching way too much of the Hueco Mundo stuff in Bleach, but we'll get to that momentarily.
Anyway, he pulls a Dexter on you with a syringe and next thing you know you're in a sterile white room, strapped to a gurney, and unable to move or feel your extremities. Unbeknownst to you, the sociopath who abducted you also pithed you while you were under - as done with frogs "back in the day". Most unfortunate.
This is where Bleach comes in. He injects you with a chemical of his own creation that makes you hypersensitive to the passing of time. So, in a sense, your mind and its perception of time is moving a thousand times faster than the rest of us. The experience, then, is that every real second seems to pass one thousand times slower for you. Your thoughts quite literally running circles around everyone and everything around you at hyperspeed. Only for you, we speak and move at an impossibly slow pace. "Why does it take the syringe guy an hour to blink?!"
You live a healthy life to the age of 73, your sustenance provided by your deviant benefactor, but your experience of that life is roughly 73,000 years (minus your current age that passed with normal perceptions) strapped to a gurney in a sterile white room looking at the ceiling.
I wish I could find Jack Daniel's & Cola sold by the bottle in Shanghai. Wait! I did. But I haven't opened it yet so that's not to blame for the corrupted wish above. That's just how I am.
So then... I wish that life for us knuckle-dragging humans advanced to become like life in the Culture (in the Iain M. Banks novels).
