Kill a random person just for a bag of chips? That's just too much.

PRESS! Battle Programmer Shirase never really got the proper ending it deserved anyway because its production was canceled early. A remake is needed so badly, I don't mind if it has to be licensed to some other company!

You get your own Ear Wormy Leitmotif!

BUT

the more often it's played, the less potent your power up becomes.

Fuck that. I've heard about people who can't feel any pain. Let's just say people feel pain for a reason. For example, stopping you from getting burns almost the size of your hand.


You now have a very stable and well-paying job with four weeks of paid vacation each year and on fridays, the cafeteria has sausages and burgers and beer.

BUT...

The job requires you to sit at a computer for ten hours every day, pushing buttons in response to orders on the screen. And over time, you'll slowly lose your mind and begin hearing a passive-aggressive voice narrating everything you're doing.

No, losing my mind is just scary.

You get to become a movie star.

It's a M. Night Shyamalan movie,

As much as I hate Shyamalan for making a stain on Avatar's reputation, I think I'd make a good Robert Pattinson out of this.

You can fly

BUT

There has to be music in the background for you to do so.

Do we get to choose the music? If so, I'm definitely going with this. That there's flying music if I've ever heard it. In short, it depends.


Your favourite video game series receives a movie adaptation, and it's excellent, adored by critics and audiences alike and making tonnes of money at the box office, proving once and for all that video game movies don't have to be bad.

BUT...

Your favourite movie series receives a game adaptation that's even worse than Ride to Hell: Retribution, and completely torpedoes its franchise-of-origin's reputation for years to come.

I'd appreciate it if you don't answer if you don't play video games or something like that. I hate to sound like the fun police, but it's real annoying when I type up one of these on any thread and I get what might as well say 'not applicable' in response.

Fallout New Vegas gets an awesome movie adaptation while Terminator gets even more boned after Genesis. Maybe that'll finally keep it in the grave. Press.

I would press it, but I don't even like any shows any more.

Press! You'd be surprised how true that actually is among musicians. Each sound is a potential note. Every moment becomes measured in beats and rhythms.

You become Immune to Bullets

BUT

You become more susceptible to cuts from all sources. These cuts will hurt and cripple you much more than they would an average person.

Have to pass on that one. Sure, being immune to bullets would be nice, but I like drawing too much to accept that hitch. (Pass)

There are so many mistakes I can think of that I'd have to live nearly my entire life all over again. Although that sounds interesting, I think it's better to let the past stay in the past.
