If Real Life had cheat codes...

[cbailey78]

What would they have? Just like doom has cheat codes like iddqd, idspispopd, etc.

I don't know and I don't care, really. I'd just be happy if we could quicksave, 'cause then we'd be able to do anything and then take it back.

Yeah. :) Better yet, save states. Just go from one to another for whatever you,d like to know or do, assuming your current knowledge carried over with you.

I'd like to Hex edit reality. Someone tell me the address for Bush's IQ level...

The world would be destroyed.

[The_Amaster]

Seriously, though, a Save function would rule. There are a lot of thing's I haven't done that I would if I knew that when it turned sour I could go to my backup.

[Brasel]

I'd want a new game + feature. After I died, I'd go back and do it all over again with all the knowledge that I had when I died.

Mortality and error are what make humans human. If we were able to redo things in any way, shape, or form, we'd become so possessed with leading the "perfect" life that I believe we'd just inflict a new misery upon ourselves.

With the ability to augment reality, happiness would be impossible because no matter what you obtain you can always desire more.

With a "save state" ability, you would spend months going over the same moments over and over again. "Gee, maybe if I just try a different pickup line the girl will go out with me" while she is simultaneously "Ugh, maybe if I'm more rude this time he'll go away". When you do manage to succeed at accomplishing some task, there will be no feeling of pride because everyone will assume you simply repeated the task until successful, just like everyone else does.

With a "New Game +" ability, you would find yourself constantly committing suicide so that you could redo a rough part that you think you didn't handle well.

Pretty much any kind of immortality would ruin your ability to enjoy life. It's probably better to wish for things like flight or be able to climb walls like Spider-Man.

The only codes of any use would be the ones like that Game Genie code that made Mega Man moonwalk on MM2. How'd you like to moonwalk everywhere you go? That would be the pinnacle of living.

[Beldaran]

I completely disagree with Atmaweapon. I want all kinds of reality altering superpowers because I know I would enjoy improving my life constantly.

[MottZilla]

Well it wouldn't be any fun or work at all if "everyone could save state". If only you could simple go to any point in your life and do whatever you want and bail out whenver to some other instance it's be interesting though I think you'd risk going insane. :p

I think wall clipping and invisibility would be totally awesome. You could haunt people. =)

Let's see, I'd go with the ability to fly, teleportation, super speed, super strength, the ability to speak and understand all languages, have an army of super-powered catgirls at my command, and to round off my skills list, power poots.
