    Adult version:
    7 POINTS - Money up front and access to stock market. We're doing this for money right? 10M today is worth a lot more than 10M in 10 years.
    6 POINTS - Full kitchen, fine ingredients, recipes. Will have a lot of spare time to cook and saves 3 points over the chef.
    5 POINTS - Workout room. Again, lots of free time and can do amazing things with 10 years of training.
    4 POINTS - Library. Would study the market and viable investment strategies. Also would study anything necessary for when I get out.
    3 POINTS - Mayo clinic doctor. Medical care in case I get sick.
    3 POINTS - Hygiene and jacuzzi. For health reasons.
    2 POINTS - Sunlight. Sanity purposes.
    30 POINTS total.

    Pay me 10M to be stuck with a hot chick version:
    18 POINTS - 18 year old to nail.
    3 POINTS - Jacuzzi to nail the 18 year old in.
    6 POINTS - Full kitchen for her to make me the best sandwiches.
    1 POINT - Pool table to nail the 18 year old on.
    2 POINTS - Garden to nail the 18 year old in.
    30 POINTS total.

    This is a VERY tough game, so I'll go over each one I choose.

    First, you need the kitchen. You need food and drink to live, and it gives you unlimited recipes.
    26pts remain.

    Second, you need the doctor. You won't live to see that 10mil if your health isn't good.
    24pts remain.

    Third, a TV for entertainment. Gotta see my Rockets and my various shows.
    17pts remain.

    Fourth, I need the games, for entertainment. Also, you get the newest game technology.
    13pts remain.

    Fifth, I need to see the outside, so I'll take the skylight.
    11pts remain.

    Sixth, I need the one day phone. It gives contact to others, and notice how it doesn't say you can't go online!
    8pts remain

    Seventh, I'll take all the music. I love music, and I need it!
    4pts remain

    Finally, I'll take all the TV and movies. More entertainment.
    0pts remain

    There ya go.

    Agreed.

    Seriously, $10 million ain't that much money. Definitely not worth 10 years of my life.

    I can do a lot in 10 years so first I'll pass.

    If, however, I'll take the plunge:

    Library- 4
    Gym- 5
    Stocks- 7
    Kitchen- 6
    Jacuzzi- 3
    Sat Radio- 2
    Garden- 2

    That's 29 in all.

    My question is, do you need the computer to avail of the video games, or can you play them on the TV system?

    In 10 I'll be ... eh? Better take some of the money now.

    9 Gourmet food (no freaking reason to ever worry about cooking)
    7 TV w/cable (that's entertainment)
    6 Workshop (keep the hands busy)
    5 Workout room w/bb court (keep the body busy)
    4 Library (keep the mind busy)
    2 Skylight (keep the Vitamin D busy...sheeesh, that sucked)
    2 Medical care (obvious because of age)
    =35

    This is SO doable! Where the hell do I sign up?

    dangit. Updated: I guess it looks like I like movies/tv shows more than clutchfans. Maybe I could get on it on my phone once a week. I'd really miss twitter.
    Her and I could've spent 10 years making friendship bracelets, telling secrets, braiding each others hair, having pillow fights, etc. Just one 10 yr sleepover party. Barry Bonds was hard to pass up.

    I was considering giving 2 pts for that handsome doctor pictured that makes house calls, but model train set building was more of a priority.

    Since this is hypothetical, it's an easy answer.

    Girl(18), books(4), medical(2), full kitchen(6). Girl more for company than anything else. I'd rather an unsullied mind than Barry Bonds.

    The books are a gold mine. With the proper knowledge (books), you can work the medical system to get everything else you need- drugs for recreation (5 pts not spent), hygienic products for bathing (3 pts not spent), sleep aids to knock the girl out for a day or two when you need quiet...skylight to alleviate depression (2 pts not spent), and maybe a puppy (6 pts not spent) for the same. It would be even more of a slam dunk if it were an e-library, because you can search books for what you need, but since you have 10 years, learning what you need to game the system would become a good pastime.

    Since you have a full kitchen with every ingredient you need for every dish, you can easily parlay that into alcohol (5 pts not spent) by using knowledge gleaned from your infinite library. Want to model something? Take the lead from Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters and use food. Weave some crap. Build some stuff. Bake some Lego blocks.

    I honestly don't think that this game places enough weight on books, but whatever, I'll take 'em.
