If you could hack real life what aspects of it would you change? For what purposes? For yourself? For a greater good? I realize that this is similar to a few posts before this but I want people to describe how they would go about hacking the world and in what form would it closely resemble something you saw in a video game/movie/book?

I'd do everything for me. I'd make myself appear better to people, or depending on what level of hacking we're going to, I'd make myself thinner, better looking, more muscular, all that jazz. I'd get myself large amounts of money, because everyone likes money, then finally I'd make it so I could influence peoples thought, and see what they were thinking, but only at will. So yeah, the world would revolve around me... And Starcraft 2 would be released instantly.

So those few obscure 3D movies that use purple and green instead of blue and red would just become PURPLE VISION! ... awesome

I'd remove the word 'like' from the English language, it would be interesting to see the results of that.

If I had to limit myself to one hack, it would be the ability to read people's minds.

But if we're talking unlimited hacks...the ability to fly, immortality, the ability to look like anyone, the ability to no longer require eating and breathing to live, the ability to move up to the speed of light (without relativistic consequences or gaining further mass), eternal youth, photographic memory, the ability to travel back in time, the strength to lift up to a 1000 tons, and a continuously curious mind.

Hm. Hacking life...
Does that mean it'll be like something out of the Matrix? If that's so, I will totally download all of the world's martial arts abilities into my body. While I'm at it, why not download all the knowledge the world has to offer me?

After an eternity of doing what so many others suggest, I'd begin to wonder what the point of it all was.

Then I might restart all of reality anew, and maybe have a go at creating a planet where a bunch of giant lizards rule the world. Before I get bored some millions of years later and decide that Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies.

Basically, after messing around with omnipotence that the ability to hack real life would imply for some odd billions of years (let's hack away Heat Death [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_death_of_the_universe], that's always a downer at parties), I'd spend a nearly incomprehensible amount of time, even compared to the geological scale, just being bored.

I would probably then attempt to reset everything, and wipe myself of all memories of my triumphs and the futility of untold aeons of perfect (and cognizant) reality manipulation, up to and including engineering the rise and fall of no less than four intergalactic religions based off of drunken ramblings I told to some alien on a hill. But then I would stop at just that point, and decide to carry my memories as proof of my folly and a reminder never again to usurp the station of Godhead with my magical reality-hacking powers. Instead, I would undo all of my mistakes and return reality to its rightful place.

And after I'd reset all of reality to where it was before my meddling with the unwritten laws of the universe had shattered all notions of causality in this space-time continuum, I'd post about my experiences on The Escapist's forums in order to warn any other would-be godlings against seeking the fate of facing the cold, brutal insanity of an entire universe at their beck and call.

Also, my genitalia would be suspiciously larger since before this topic's creation.

And I'm sure we all know that hacking real life is easy, all you need to do is learn Python.
