Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1544 Joined: 7 Sep 2008    | Yes, I'd do it... I'd get to have a much fuller previous ten years that way... |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 427 Joined: 7 May 2008 | Hell to the yes. Why wouldn't I? I mean, who cares about all the crap you have to wait for. You get to reshape your life, undo all the mistakes you've ever made and(in my case) become one of the smartest six-year-olds on the planet. Also, I want to be short again. Being short was fun. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1582 Joined: 29 Mar 2008  | i'd love the chance to fix myself up at my age, but then again it's because i got so badly messed up at that time i grew into the insane dude i am. thats a pass |

Being short was awesome. You could sneak through crowds, get into small spaces, etc. Also, because you are a kid, nobody thinks twice about you. They just think "What on earth is- oh it's just some kid" |

Well, now you have to wait another 10 years for Fallout 3. I think I would. I mean I really could inrich my life once again. You would basically be the smartest, smoothest, coolest kid in school. I know I would feel selfish, but if I can create proper movements and begin aknew in my childhood stages, more doors would become open to me later on to actually have a proper word in life. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3107 Joined: 13 Aug 2008  | In truth, going back and doing things again would be pretty awesome, there are plenty of minor incidents where I ended up embarassing myself, I would redo said situations. |

Exactly! Only I didn't appreciate it at the time because I was ridiculously short for my age. I wanted to be level with all my friends and at the tender age of thirteen, I shot up. Now I'm taller than most of them, and I miss being short so damn much. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 148 Joined: 18 Mar 2008   | Wow thats a tough one. On one hand the countless mistakes and screw-ups that make up the majority of my past could be fixed, but on the other hand, all the good things I've done will be erased for me to have to do all over again. Plus I'd feel really guilty if I didn't try to save everyone from every disaster that has occured in the past 10 years, so I'm going to have to say no. I'd go back one year ago, maybe two, but thats as far as I would go. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3846 Joined: 29 Nov 2007  | Well, I would. And I would kill the living shit out of myself. Teach me to become me. |
Press Junketeer Posts: 488 Joined: 29 Jul 2008 | Am I the only one who wants to make the world better/make a profit? Do you all really just want to be the cool kid in your old school? |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 59 Joined: 29 Aug 2008  | i would totally do it... i could stop myself from getting addicted to heroin... |

You were addicted at age 10? EDIT: Crap, forget about that. Read something wrong. Argh... |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3846 Joined: 29 Nov 2007 |
No. I want to go back, and kill myself. I will kill myself so hard for what I will have done. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3107 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 | I could join the escapist so much sooner and not feel the shame of joining after the whole Yahtzee epidemic. Also I would use my apparent childhood genius to get tonnes of money through government grants and the like, then waste it all for an army of crabs. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1130 Joined: 8 Apr 2008    | Through no fault of my own, the last ten years of my life were a complete nightmare... no, I wouldn't relive them at all. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2181 Joined: 4 Nov 2007 | I've actually thought about this and my answer is: like a shot. How cool would it be to just regain ten of the most irresponsible years of my life, but with what I know now? Hell fucking cool. We only get perspective on our lives when it's too late to use that knowledge; going back in time would let me fix up a whole bunch of mistakes. |
Muckraker  Posts: 237 Joined: 7 Mar 2008  | wow that would be awesome... I would be thin and pretty again! I would stay in karate, join the school track team, keep up with my swimming to get my lifeguard qualification thing, I would get a job as soon as possible, I would study hard in school, I would make friends with all the people I had snubbed, I would do nothing to warn people of the dissasters that befall them, for they affect me not... I would be able to see Rolands attraction to me, and I would not have ended up breaking his poor heart... do all the things I regret not doing, don't do any of the things I do... |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 920 Joined: 14 May 2008 | I would go back in time 10 years. Wait 9 years and then tell Yahtzee about every single video he will post before he posts it to make him think there is someone stalking him outside his window watching his every move. An example could be something like, "You will then make a tomb raider review video. You will use the songs fat bottomed girls and going underground. You ask people to ask you how long it has been since you have known the touch of a woman. Then you will get run over by a kangaroo." Then I'll probably add some ghost sounds or something. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 672 Joined: 15 Jun 2008 | I would go back and just fuck with peoples heads. Make cryptic comments about things I know will happen. I would be so excited to predict 9/11. I would get my parents to take me there, and stand outside and wait until 30 seconds till the first plane hits and scream, "FEEL MY WRATH FOR I AM THE ANTICHRIST!!!" And then the first plane would hit and I would laugh maniacally and scream, "IT'S NOT ENOUGH!! DO IT AGAIN!!!" |

That's it...You're getting a friend request. |

I hope you don't get reported for that, because it made me laugh. I would probably miss the ability to drink as much as I can now if I went ten years back. I could still drink, but a drunken ten year old would probably get my parents in all kinds of trouble with social services and stuff. |

no, i was addicted at six, crack followed at the age of eight... man, those were the days! |
Press Junketeer Posts: 427 Joined: 7 May 2008 |
Ahahaha! Awesome! |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 561 Joined: 27 Aug 2008 | I'd do it, but only if I can go back 20 years--but my concern is entirely with myself. Who cares about being "cool" or messing with peoples' heads? I'd rather get a jump on the writing and drawing and have the sense to stay in shape. Life's a lot more enjoyable when you see it from the perspective of knowing what's actually important and what you can ignore. |

Well this idea won't suprise you at all, but I vote for a crab induced appocalypse |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 800 Joined: 1 Jun 2008 | Do it again?! Why on Earth would I want to do it again?!?!? Why suffer through another decade of schools designed for the criminally stupid? (seriously, I've never been to a school I found satisfying. Ever. And if I had to go through all of 2nd grade and up again well, quite frankly, I'm not sure I would.) Why suffer through another decade of being treated like a second class citizen? (It's always annoyed me that I'm not yet a legal adult. I'm more mature than most of them godsdammit!) Why suffer through another decade of being too intellectual for your age group and too young for your intellectual peers? (Seriously, who would you date. The booger eaters of your age group or the pedophiles of your actual age group.) I've got no regrets. None. I'm looking to the future. That's where the action is. |

... Ok seriously this is getting out of hand. We need to do something about this guy and his crabs. |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 561 Joined: 27 Aug 2008 |
Um . . . yeah. You keep thinking that. |
Press Junketeer Posts: 427 Joined: 7 May 2008 |
Actualy, I am surprised. Why? Because I choose to be. Take that! By the way, meatloaf, you make it sound like he has parasites on his crotch. I applaud you. |

Hang youself as you blow your head off via a shotgun. I could see that.
But you've made ten years worth, now you can fix 'em.
Crabs did something to you as a child, right? |

If you could, by means of Wizards and Science (or Wizards of Science), go back in time to your former self 10 years ago, yet still retain your knowledge and mind of now, would you?
You could correct all your mistakes of the past, set things right, predicte the future, make $$$. If I was to do it, I would be 8 years old, probably in grade 3. I could write poems and epic stories during class that would the teachers to awe. In drawing, while everyone else is going crazy with the cryaons, I could fuck with people's minds drawing all sort of screwed up pictures.
Although, this of course means you will have to relive everything again. I would have to wait another 8-10 years for the Escapist, at least a good 5-7 years for a good internet, relive all the games I've already beaten, rewatch all the latest movies and sit through all the trendy fads again.
Also, you would feel obliged to set things right in the world. Warn people of 9-11, earthquakes and the like. You would feel oblidged to act otherwise seem overly selfish.
So would you do it? If so what would you correct, do? And if not, why not?
