If It Was Real: Quick Save

Everybody has those situations in life where you wish you could go back and stop yourself saying something or do something slightly differently. Well, now you're in luck with the all new quick save function! Here are the top 5 things that I'd do with the quick save.

1. Trying the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion
For those of you whom are unaware, the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion is currently the world's hottest chilli coming in at a whooping 2,000,000 on the Scoville rating (to put that in perspective, a jalapeno comings in around 3,500 and the ghost pepper at around 500,000).

From what I have experienced with spicy substances, it's not necessarily the first hit that hurts the most. It's the constant burning afterwards and as the flames build, it only gets worse. A simple quick save prior to eating the chilli could prevent the majority of this whilst you still experience the chilli.

2. Skydive without a parachute
I realise that by using a quick save here somewhat removes a lot of the adrenaline but I am sure the sense of panic would still sink in whilst you're falling, slowly reaching terminal velocity towards the ground with no safety gear and you'd get a massive adrenaline kick from it.

I suppose the thought may cross your mind "is this quick save malarkey really real?" so best to test it out on a few smaller stunts first.

We're not all Mel Gibson from Lethal Weapon 4. If you get shot, you're going down. None of this fancy glowing red stuff, you'd be on the floor, tears in the eyes and wishing you'd never picked the gun up in the first place.

3. Try every scenario
Have you ever wondered what might happen if you'd taken a left rather than a right? Well, now you can. Simply use the quick save and try every possible route imaginable!

Then again, would you using the quick save alter the path itself? Would you taking the left, using the quick save and then taking the right mean that taking the right is actually different to the original right hand turn? Are you willing to take that risk? Does your brain kind of hurt too?

4. Slap your boss
I mean this literally. None of those silly euphemisms here thank you very much.

5. Attempt to rob a bank
I'm really against all of the opinions floating around that playing violent video games influence me in a certain way and make me do bad things but I think it looks pretty easy to rob a bank now due to the likes of PayDay. I think I'd like to try it but with no consequences, of course.

Drop a quick save outside the bank, rob the joint, wait for the feeling of guilt to settle in and then return to outside the bank.

However, would the feeling of guilt remain or would you just forget it ever happened? Would you still have an adrenaline buzz still or have never experienced it at all? If it never happened then how would you remember that you'd used the quick save in the first place? You'd get stuck in an endless loop of using the quick save option but always doing the same thing over and over again.

Do you know what? I don't want to use the quick save option anymore.
