The Cliche "So You're Stuck on an Island" Expanded!
By k4tzm4n 33 Comments
Scenario: You're stuck on a tropical island. The island is free of dangerous wildlife and the weather will remain moderate, with no variables in the weather at all. Despite you being able to bring all of the below, there is absolutely no means of escape. 10 meters from the shore, an impenetrable shield blocks any method of escape or enter. The world knows this, and do you. Assume all technology you bring will have unlimited energy / battery life. Also, all of the devices will work without the required plugs, cords, sockets, etc. In short, defy logic. Just assume that whatever it is you wish to bring, it will work! (assume you also have an unlimited supply of clothing, lol)
So, for the below, what do you bring???
I-Pod (with headset): You can select TWO music albums to have on it. (no games, no extra features, only the 2 albums on the ipod)
Big Screen Widescreen TV w/ blu-ray player (w/ couch to watch and TV is on stand): Select ONE blu-ray movie. (don't worry if it actually isn't on blu-ray, you can make
believe ;) ) Select one BOX volume of a TV SERIES. Box set is limited to ONLY ONE VOLUME. No mega box sets that include multiple seasons, ONE only ;)
Graphic Novel: You may bring TWO graphic novels.
Video Game Console: You may bring ONE video game console with 2 games (if the game can be played online, you're alllowed to do so...But you do not have a headset, nor can you access the online network to obtain demos/news/videos/etc).
Laptop with internet connection: Restricted access to only ONE website.
Food supply: You have a large food plate that can instantly generate TWO specific meals. (can't say SALAD, must give a SPECIFIC dish with specific ingredients)
Cell Phone: Phone is restricted to calling ONE person. Person on the other end is NOT allowed to give the phone to anyone else...If they do, they'll die =P
Random: TWO additional item (a combination such as a notepad and pen count as only one item)
