You might want to try books instead. Easier to read. Better stories.

While true, cheating at a solitary (single-player) game and admitting it
doesn't seem to have any dishonor to me. Now, if you bragged you beat it
and didn't mention you cheated, that's different.
Is God mode more or less cheating than asking people online how to get
past the problem area? :-)

Having read the first Myst novel, I'm willing to assert the game was
better. ;-)

Thanks; I do read, but I also like other forms of entertainment as well.
I don't need to be lectured by someone who doesn't know me about what is
and isn't entertaining.

So we're supposed to be excluded from an entire medium of story telling,
just because we're not l337 hax0r 13yo's, but instead we have real jobs
(not to mention, other hobbies)?
There's nothing wrong with wanting to play through a game for fun,
rather than for bragging rights (haha, I beat Doom 14 on "Final
Nightmare Elite" mode in 31 hours, w/o taking a potty break!). After
all, it IS a "game".

If the game lets you do it, it's not really cheating :)
