foleyfanforever88 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2007 Ok so..you are being held captive for 10 years in a room that contains only a TV (w/o cable), a DVD player, a CD player, and a universal video game console. You will be fed regularly, but otherwise you get nothing from the outside world. You are allowed to bring with you the following things: 10 DVDs 10 Video Games 10 Books 10 CDs What do you bring?

foleyfanforever88 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2007 By the way, bringing an artist's ultimate collection of 12 CDs or something like the complete Wrestlemania Anthology counts as more than one CD or DVD. But if you wanted to bring an extended edition of a DVD that is on 3 disks or something thats ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2007 World of Warcraft. It seems intent on wasting ten years of your life anyway and it's loophole to the no contact with the outside world because it's a video game. Course, it would involve me playing World of Warcraft.... I'd slit my wrists with a Linkin Park DVD (it seems fitting) while Sinatra's angry ass played my out of the scene.

Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 You're being held captive. Stop complaining, atleast they are giving you something. But if it's 10 years, I need to get the newest version of whatever sports game I have (Madden, NBA 2K series, whatever MLB game I decide on, FIFA), and i'll add GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, Bully, Mario Party 4 since it's a universal console, and Smackdown vs. RAW (updated if it's 10 years). For CDs, i'd go with Wu-Tang CDs (36 Chambers, Wu-Tang Forever, The W), Liquid Swords, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, System of a Down (Toxicity), Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem Show, and Illmatic (Nas). For DVDs, i'd go with Fight Club, Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary, The Departed, Batman Begins, Home Alone, A Christmas Story, Chappelle's Show Season 2, WrestleMania The Complete Anthology, and um eh, Malcolm in the Middle Season 1. As far as books, just give me the Harry Potter set and i'll stretch it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
