Yeah, the sleep one. That would double my life. I'd get sooooo much more done! I could work a full time job and still have the vast majority of my day left to do whatever I want!

I'm the sort of person who is usually tired. I need rather annoying amounts of sleep to feel good (about 10 hours), and I rarely actually get enough. Some of the best moments of my life have been when I actually had energy. If I could have that amount of mental and physical energy all the time, my life would be beyond awesome.

Edit: And anyone who votes for immortality at the expense of their loved ones doesn't actually have any loved ones.

The immortality option sounds horrible! lol I'm all for never aging, but indestructible too?

Eventually you will go insane. I doubt very much our minds are designed to go on for eternity without breaking down. Besides, you may go on forever, but the earth, sun, and the human race wont. You'd eventually find yourself alone and in the dark for all eternity.

You are 50% faster, stronger, smarter, and wiser is my choice.
Secondary: You do not need to sleep, your body and mind are always at 100%.
Tertiary: No insects/spiders/rats/pest would ever come near you, they are always 100 yards away.

I chose the never age/indestructable one, assuming that "love ones die" means that they die after a normal course of life, not death as a result of my choosing it. Also it never says you can not die, just that you are indestructible and don't age. For example susceptibility to disease is still an issue, or lack of oxygen.

Otherwise the 50% better at everything.

Everything else (except the murder one) would be nice to have, but not not as good as the previous two.

Immortality, invincibility, thanks :)

Making me 50% better might just tip me into 'average'. Meh.

Immortality, I'm just so unbelievably curious about how humanity will change and how it will all end.


And when it ends, what will i do? Well by planning ahead i would have a some kind of spacecraft (with terabytes upon terabytes of games) and fly through the void of space until i reach the next planet with life on it.

The bottom three are the best.

But i'd probably go with 150% version of me.

Cause then i would stop being a lazy shit and get a helicopter pilot *****. I could buy all the games/movies i wanted.

Took the 50% better option, It just seems like it has the most potential, the never having to sleep option would be my second choice

Was leaning on the no-sleep one for a minute, but eh...

I think I'd take the 50% bonus to mental abilities. Better to earn one's own money, immortality has never really appealed to me, the killing one is heinous, inspects aren't that bad, the helicopter and infinite games are a corollary of my previous point; I'll just earn the money with my awesomesauce new brain capacity.

This way my unfair advantage over everyone else would be less glaring as tirelessness would be.

Lack of sleep. I do not need extra speed or strength - I really don't care about that stuff. The intelligence would be great, but not being tired would increase my relative intelligence by far more than a mere 50%. Most of my problem is that I am not alert, or too tired to concentrate on something, yet I understand everything fully. That extra 50% would lead me to still understand everything fully, still not be alert, and still too tired to concentrate. As such, I would not see as much benefit from it. Being 100% awake at all times however... That would net me a massive increase in all aspects of my life.
It was a toss up between that and Immortality. I chose this as it will technically extend my lifespan for me, as I spend 0 time sleeping now, and am living life all the time. Hopefully I'll use that time to come up with a way to live forever. If not, Cryostasis, and get woken up when I can live forever.

Hard to pick between not needing sleep and being stronger, but more hours in the day means more time for games and my novel.

150% of all my capabilities, hands down. I did like choosing "Almost Perfect" in Fallout 3.
Now I can do whatever I want easier, and do more than I ever could possibly do before better and in shorter amounts of time.
Screw pests, now I'm 50% stronger and no longer afraid.
Kill anyone? Pfft, I don't need to kill them in public. I'll plan a trap with my better intel--and leave no traces.
Immortality? Might get boring after a while. Life's great because it's so short, am I right?
No sleep-- No. I like sleeping. I like warm beds. I like dreams that are reminiscent of acid trips (I was a Nazi last night...)
$40 a day? I could probably earn more. I mean, on a standard 8 hour job, that's $5 an hour, which isn't that much.
Free movies and games--Steam Sales make them feel like I'm getting them for free, and then there's GoG and Humble Indie Bundles.
Helicopter? Meh. Soi soi soi, and all that, but I don't need to go that many places. I like my home.

So yeah. That's all about that.

I'll go for the killer one. Because apparently that means I can use threats of lethal violence against someone as leverage without any chance of legal retribution. This is basically an intimidation success that could get me...anything I want.

50% better at everything is my cup of tea1

Then more intellect, strength AND wiseness?

That perk would make you a Übermensch.

I'd pick this one if it made me 50% more attractive too
50% more strength would make your potential attractiveness go up, since you would be wiser and know what attracts more and make less mistakes that turn off people. Think about it.
