Ask any gamer why it is they play games for hours on end and they'll likely mention the fact that games, whether we're talking Metal Gear or Mario Bros., empower us gamers with the ability to do things and to play roles that we can't in real life. Imagine for a moment what you could accomplish if you were able to take those incredible game characters' powers out of the game itself and use them in real life. We've selected 9 video game super powers that we'd love to use in order to rule at real life.
Never Leave the Couch via Dhalsim's Yoga Stretch - Getting up to grab food and remote controls won't ever be a problem with a little yoga training.
Male Enhancement via Mario's Super Mushroom - There's an obvious pun to be made with that title, but we'll leave that up to your imagination.
Instant Ice-Cold Drinks via Subzero's Deep Freeze - Can you imagine NEVER dealing with warm beer for the rest of your life?
Eat Anything via Kirby's Inhale Ability - If you can make a living by being a speed eater, this power basically puts money AND free food in your pocket for life. Plus, you could impress your friends by being able to eat shit like car tires and ninja stars in one fell swoop.
Go Anywhere, Anytime via Crackdown's Superjump - Travel would never be cheaper, and more instantaneous, than with the ability to jump hundreds of feet into the air. Beat downtown traffic, do some equipment-free base jumping, or walk the pyramids of Egypt. With this power, the world is a playground.
Fix Your Past Screw-ups via Prince of Persia's Sands of Time - Who wouldn't want the ability to go back in time to reverse all your mistakes?
Sneak Around via Solid Snake's Octocam - Just think of all the places you've wanted to go, but were afraid to. Or maybe you're just avoiding a house chore, who knows?
Reach Any Part of Your Body via Samus' Morph-Ball - No longer will that spot in the center of your back be riddled with giant back zits that are brought on because the area is so damn hard to reach. No longer will you be denied access to any part of your body simply because your muscles and bones won't allow it.
Slow Down Good Times via Max Payne's Bullet Time - Hasn't every guy/girl wanted to make that five second first kiss last just a little bit longer? Or, you could easily turn that $20, one-song lap dance into a 4 hour skin feast.
