Here is the question. You have two options.
Option 1, is that you get 1 million dollars, but there is a chip implanted in your brain, that will kill you if you play any video game. Whether it is in an Arcade, on a video game system, a portable, emulator, PC game, whatever. Bottom line, you simply can't play any games any more, period. But you do get one million dollars.
Option 2, is that you must go to prison for a life sentence with no chance at parol, but you are allowed to take all your gaming systems and all your games. When you are in your cell, you are allowed to play your games, as long as it isn't "lights out".

I would take the cash ina heartbeat. I'd rather be banging native girls on a far away island while sipping drinks til I die than getting gangraped by Bubba and Big T while playing Tetris.

Pretty stupid question, but I went with the money. There are plenty of other things I can do with that much money. I would never want to go to prison, no matter what the benefit was.

Fuck that, I'll take my freedom thanks. Even if I had to choose between never playing a game again and getting NO money, or life in prison with my games, I'd still take the freedom.
For the people that voted prison: Jesus, how antisocial ARE you guys? There's more to life than video games, for fuck's sake.

With a million bucks I could buy a very very nice ferrari. Who needs games when you have a ferrari?

LOL LOL LOL ....Yep I feel the same. I would take the money and by myself a house in the caribean, and live out my life drinking Alize and getting laid. 8-) :evil: I can live without video games. LOL

Hate to break it to you, but a million dollars is not enough to live financial and worry free for the rest of your life. Maybe 10+ million, but money goes fast nowadays

I don't know how much you know about the concept of compound interest, but if you were given 1 million dollars, you could easily live comfortably without ever working again. You could live off the interest, without ever touching the principle, AND your money would continue to grow.

... DUH.. the money.. i'd vote money over getting butt raped anyday.. which is what would eventually happen..
i believe living free.. with a million dollars.. and no video games.. and still having my family and friends.. would be alot better than being in jail.. eating terrible food, getting raped, and not being with my family and friends..
common.. whoever actually says yes is lying..
and who cares if 1 million isnt enough to live off of for the rest of your life.. i would just carry out my life like i had planned.. kinda seems like a dumb question.. hrm.. 1 million dollars and continue my life without video games.. or go to jail and have no life and play video games and get raped..

:hmm:
Sorry. I voted dumb question. The choice is too stratified. I guess if I had to choose, it would be freedom because I've got my wife and kids to think about, as well as a myriad of other things besides gaming.
But...if I could plead out and get a minimum security stretch as opposed to FAPP (Federal Ass-Pounding Prison), then maybe I could manage.
Maybe.
Nah...

I voted for prison. All I would have to do is something so horrible that I'd be taking everything with me to solitary confinement. :D
I might be just a bit obsessed, but I also think that in prison you can get a degree and do some work, like a degree in literature or whatever, and that aspect I'd be VERY interested in: free education. The whole "making you my bitch" thing is probably a bit overdone, not everyone in prison is gay or will rape someone, even on a life sentence; I'd at least LIKE to think that a lot of convicts have more pride than that, even foolish pride, and even the most heinous ones.
But yeah, as long as I could get solitary confinement, I'd could do time with my games.

What if you're already in prison, with a chip in your head, making sweet love to Bubba every night.
Why would you need a million dollars or video games ? O_O

I voted for "Dumbest Question"... because I would just use the million $ to pay some doctor to remove the chip from my brain, and proceed to live a normal life.

I'd take the money then just waste it all on manga (my second favorite hobby besides video games) and some muscle cars.

I'm going with Option #3:
You're free, except you have to check in every month to an "Acclimation Center" where you must undergo five minutes of "Pyroposteriotherapy" (i.e. sitting on a pile of burning coals). You can only eat mustard sandwiches for the rest of your life. Your entire body (sans butt) is covered in titanium and you are thumbless. You have to wear goofy headwear which holds two bottles of Raspberry Tea Snapple and a straw to drink from--your only liquid refreshment for the rest of your days. And the only video game you're allowed to play (under the strict supervision of a Catholic cyber-nun) is Computer Math Games II for the TI-99 4A.
Harsh, but fair.
Who's with me?

I'm not sure it would be that easy. An amount of money will double in 8 years at an 8% (after taxes) interest rate, but with the bad economy the last few years, most banks are paying something like 0-1%, which probably just keeps pace with inflation. Of course the stocks may do well in the future since they just got beaten down so low.

I could if I could be put in solitary. I don't like people, and I like hardened criminals even less. Except in the case of the Grand Theft Auto series.

He never said you couldn't spend it on games. You just can't play them.
Even though I voted it was a stupid question, I'd take the "one milllllion dollars" and use it to put lasers on sharks.
No seriously, I'd take the $1 million and then steal the same device they stole in "Ocean's Eleven" and subject myself to an EMP, Electromagnetic pulse, thereby frying the chip in my brain. I would then spend the $1 million dollars on video games. Muhahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

I worded it badly, I basically meant that not everyone in prison would ape a guy. Some get that badly for sex, but I think it's a smaller number than people might think.
