If Life Was A Video Game...

[PuckishOne]

Another thread, plus an earlier converation with a co-worker, inspired me to pose this question:

If real life was a video game, what's the one (and only one) video-game thing that you'd most want to be able to do?

I was talking to my co-worker earlier about how cool the "polymorph" spell in World of Warcraft is. You get to turn a bad guy into a sheep for a certain amount of time, during which he wanders harmlessly nearby going "baah." I would definitely love to be able to "sheep" people for real!! :D

So, CS gamers and assorted others...your turn!

The gravity gun from Half-Life 2 would be pretty cool to have. Someone parks in your driveway, just blast their car out of the way. Or if some customer gives you attitude, use it to shoot a watermelon at them. :devil:

[ArenaBoy]

The Ultima spell from the Final Fantasy games would be nice. Disintegrate people that are acting like idiots. :devil:

[Sphinx]

aww, you beat me to it :lol:

[NightWolf]

I'd like to be able to use health potions whenever I was either sick or my health was failing. Wouldn't it be nice to just drink a potion whenever you feel ill, and poof! all your ails are gone. :D

[Ryu]

turning into a dragon a la ryu from breath of fire, in particular number 3, would be mighty cool
so is stealthing a la rogues in world of warcraft to have devastating attacks with no consequences :D

If life was a video game, a senator would want to pass a bill to ban it.

When I've been playing Legend of Zelda for any length of time, and I need to get somewhere, my first thought is usually, "Is there anything I can hookshot on to, to get me there faster?"

So yeah, wouldn't mind having a hookshot, if that counts. :D

(Related note: I saw a great t-shirt today. I forget the exact wording, but the gist of it was - "Some people think video games have an influence on our behaviour. If that were true, anyone who played Pacman in the 80s would spend all their time running around in the dark, listening to repetitive beepy music and eating funny round pills." :lol: )

[MystyGlyttyr]

X-Men Legends 2, Scarlet Witch's spell to turn enemies into boxes that contain power-ups. If I could turn irritants into boxes of pizza, I would be very happy.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour

I could play golf forever.

Although San Andreas sounds appealing, I'd rather not be walking down the street then all of a sudden beat by a baseball bat. But that could just be me.

[Greenday]

Well, since the Ultima spell from Final Fantasy was used, I'll use something different. This may seem a little cheap, but my roommate likes it too. The Force, from any of the Star Wars games. Cause then I could use Force Choke, Force Lightning, etc. just to amuse myself when customers piss me off.

UMMM... Can we say RAVER CANDY KIDS! :baby: :drink: :roll:

On topic, I would have to say Final Fantasy X-2, where just changing clothes gives you innumerable super powers. Put on some leather and kick some ass! (warrior job)

[Ringtail Z28]

Punchmania: Fist of the North Star

I would use Nanto Suichoken to slice customers up into bloody, twitching piles of meat. :devil:

[Acolyte]

I would totally hop in a 'Mech and bust some heads.

[Confuzed-Monkey]

Two Words - CHEAT CODES

*Infinite Health
*Infinite Ammo
*Infinite Money

I'm good to go.

[RogueOne]

I'd get a TIE Defender from "TIE Fighter"

[Greenday]

I'd get a TIE Defender from "TIE Fighter"

Heh, now if only I can get my hands on a Super Star Destroyer complete with a few Tie Defender wings...

[Jaden]

I'd totally go for the Final Fantasy Airship! :D

I'd have to say that would be good. *Waves hand* "You WILL be quiet and show me your ID.":angel:

[RogueOne]

I'll be your CAG.:D

They have that-it's known as delicious alcohol. :D

I'd like a spell or something, but I'd probably go for the Gran Turismo cheat: I have a virtually unlimited garage. Late for work? Take the Viper! Feel like a relaxed Sunday cruise? Here's the keys to the Mustang. Want to blow off some steam from a bad day? Attack a dirt road in a Subaru, or just blow tire smoke in the 'Vette.

I'd also have to do this every time I got out of bed:
Up, Up, Down, Down. Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start

[stormtreader]

Ive always known what mine would be: Save Game.
I decided to try rearranging my bedroom last night, and actually thought "Ok, ill save now, and then if i dont like it i can restore it".:o

[Broomjockey]

This is a really hard question. A lot of good ones have already been taken. I'd have to go with Metroid Prime's different visors. I could switch between normal, heat vision, scanning, and night vision.

[lordlundar]

Hmm, cheat codes are taken, so I'd have to go with my next choice.

Respawn ability.

Muahahaha! you can't get rid of me that easily! After all, death is only a temporary solution to the problem at hand.:devil:

[Crosshair]

....I could switch between normal, heat vision, scanning, and night vision.
Don't forget "IQ vision". That could come in handy.

Broomjockey: *Aw crap, got some dumb ones in line with a cart of clearance clothing. Better take break sooner.* Hey CSM, can I take my break early???
