Terrifying horror-movie-like geekness not withstanding...supposing that life really is a game, what are your power-ups? What do they enable you to do and how rare are they?
My life's health bar's fullness is directly proportionate to how much down-time(sleep+recreation) I have versus how many hours I spend doing things I would rather not do. To add time to my down-time, for instance, a smoke. To ease the amount of damage each hour of work does, my medication. To speed up the progress of my work, a cup of coffee. To increase my health bar, a package of Ramen noodles.
So far I have:
Medication(every day)
Cigarettes(once or twice a week)
Coffee(whenever I get time to make a pot)
Ramen Noodles(whenever I make money and buy food)
See, not that hard.

Fear not, this is not...the end of this world.
"I'm just a soul whose intentions are good..."
Let's see
Cigarettes(one every 2-3 hours to calm my mind)
1-3 joints a day((depends on if I'm working or not)to help me chill, eat, sleep, or get my mind off shit)
1-2 beers(aides the weed)
3 monsters a day(to counteract the sleepies and the muchies during the daytime)
Ramen(for obvious reasons)
Sometimes Tequila(plays a big role in me getting my ass kicked or laid depending on who I"m drinking with. XD)

Lawlz Sephy so Smaht!!
This is where my name comes from for anyone who cares. Btw please don't get the wrong idea. I love Final Fantasy more than any other game series in the whole world.
"Good things don't come to those who wait. Good things come to those who want it bad enough to take it."
Me, I've got myself a constant mana drain effect. The longer I go without sleep, the faster it drains. Gets kind of annoying at times, once I run out I go crash in a heap. Luckily I have a near endless supply various Mana restoration potions, Amp, Monster, Venom, Nuclear, and Nos to name a few. They also fortify my speed substats for a few hours, and increase twitchiness. THen of course I have Jack Daniel's around, that foritifies sarcasm, argessiveness, and humor for a while, but decreases hand-eye coordination, reaction time, and speeds up my mana drain, so I use it sparingly. Mainly for boss fights.
For Our Lord Sheogorath, without Whom all Thought would be linear and all Feeling would be fleeting. Blessed are the Madmen, for they hold the keys to secret knowledge. Blessed are the Phobic, always wary of that which would do them harm. Blessed are the Obsessed, for their courses are clear. Blessed are the Addicts, may they quench the thirst that never ebbs. Blessed are the Murderous, for they have found beauty in the grotesque. Blessed are the Firelovers, for their hearts are always warm. Blessed are the Artists, for in their hands the impossible is made real. Blessed are the Musicians, for in their ears they hear the music of the soul. Blessed are the Sleepless, as they bask in wakeful dreaming. Blessed are the Paranoid, ever-watchful for our enemies. Blessed are the Visionaries, for their eyes see what might be. Blessed are the Painlovers, for in their suffering, we grow stronger. Blessed is the Madgod, who tricks us when we are foolish, punishes us when we are wrong, tortures us when we are unmindful, and loves us in our imperfection.
Juice. Minor health raiser and lowers dehydration meter.
Dehydration isn't an option. Water is also an option, but get's boring after the second glass.
Tea. Acts as a remedy.
It makes things better.
Super Noodles. Raises health.
Filling, and tastes good with steamed broccoli.
Alcamahols. Raises health but lowers intelligence.
Rarely. But it makes me giggly.
Showers. Revives from KO, gives full heath, depletes dehydration meter.
I don't care if it's not an edible power-up. Cleanliness is next to godliness. Toan in Dark Cloud felt better after sticking his head in a waterfall when in dungeons, so why can't I?
Lovings. Casts Protect, Shell, Reflect, Bravery, Faith, Esuna, and Regain.
Feels good. <3

Dave and Buster's Game Card: allows me to play the different mini-games which give me the chance to buy hidden items only available to the DnB store if I win enough tickets.
Hair Gel: +charm with the fauxhawk hairstyle.
Chocolate candy: +health, I have Twix favorited so it gives me a small extra bonus to my health stat.
Astro A40 headphones: big bonus to perception/reaction/communication/leadership skills. The 5.1 dolby surround sound works wonders! When equipped with the Astro Mixamp, it allows me to tweak and pool the stats to my desire.
Glasses: bonus to perception/wisdom/charm. If these are equipped without the hair gel, I can disguise myself as Harry Potter. If they're not equipped with hair gel, I can disguise myself as Jimmy Neutron.
Old Wallet: small bonus to luck, sometimes I find extra money in there that I thought was missing.

hahas, updated July 28th (oldie but goodie!):
Junk Food- Eaten in moderation. Provides quick supply of energy.
Downside: Effect doesn't last long, and if eaten too much, experiences the dreaded "sugar crash" before long, which leaves the user feeling lethargic.
Rarity: Very common (at least one a day)
Daily Multivitamin- To supplement the user with nutrients that may have been missed in one's daily diet. Adds to overall health.
Downside: Must be consumed with meal. Easy to forget to take.
Rarity: Somewhat common (try to do one a day, but it's more like two a week)
Water- Re-hydrates and refreshes the user.
Downside: Rather boring to the taste, but this can be remedied by adding some lemon juice.
Rarity: Extremely common. (When thirsty, this is what I tend to drink)
Sweet Iced Tea- Same effects as water, though with added benefits of flavor and caffeine, the latter of which boosts awareness and stamina.
Downside: Increases rate of urination for the user.
Rarity: Very common (Maybe one glass a day)
Click at your own risk.:
Waffles- Satiates Hunger
Usually keeps me satisfied for a few hours before I'm hungry again.
Milk- Thirst Quencher
My favorite thing to drink with any food that's filling.
Water- Dehydration Cure
Whenever I'm feeling nauseas or weak, I guzzle down cups of water and I feel all healthy and replenished.
Pepsi- Energy Booster
When I'm playing a game or watching a movie.. or doing anything fun, Pepsi is what I want to drink.
The Sun- Vitamin D
Even on a hot day, just sitting in the backyard early in the morning feels great on the skin.
