    When I thought about it enough, I found this pretty easy.



    What I took
    6 Full Kitchen + Ingredients
    3 Medical Care (Mayo Clinic)
    3 Hygiene
    2 Skylight
    7 TV + Cable
    4 Videogames
    4 Library
    1 Pool Table
    30 Total



    Why I took that stuff
    Kitchen - I can't cook worth crap and generally eat pre-prepared things. But if I had an unlimited amount of time, I'd enjoy learning to cook to break up the monotony. And, it would be a marketable skill when I got out (if I felt like working).

    Medical Care (Upgrade to Mayo Clinic) - I would have taken the workout room if my back wasn't FUBAR... that being the case, I need a good doctor to keep me healthy if I'm going to be this static.

    Hygiene - Because rotting in my own filth for 10 years is just... yeah. No. Even if you say you'll use soap from your full kitchen to wash, what about your teeth?

    Skylight - I would go INSANE without natural light and a day/night cycle.

    TV + Cable - Because I need it for videogames. Duh.

    Videogames - Obviously.

    Library - Books are awesome. I need my Realm of the Elderlings and my Dresden Files, dammit.

    Pool Table - Because I only had one point left, and have no use for a gun.



    Stuff I wanted but left off
    Movies - Wanted this at first because I usually watch a movie while playing a videogame (movies/shows can't usually keep my attention by themselves). But when I realized I only had one TV, I swapped movies for books.

    Stunningly Hot 18-year-old - ...is not worth 18 points. I mean, seriously. After all, I can have her when I get out... not only will I be rich, I'll be an awesome cook as well.

    Internet - Too expensive.

    Computer - Without internet, TV > Computer.

    Garden - Skylight is better because I can use it constantly.

    Music - Sucks I can't have it and all, but I have books, games, pool, cable, and cooking to keep me occupied. Plus, a fair number of games have decent soundtracks, and some even allow you to play tracks at will. Plus, music channels on cable.

    Booze - Too expensive. Might've fit it in for 3.

    Phone (1 day per week) - Would've fit this in if I could use it any time. But one day per week? Nah. Would rather use my points on stuff I can use every day.

    I could be wrong, but my guess is that "video games" means you also get game consoles to use with the TV.

    If that weren't the case I'd just swap the TV for a computer and the pool table for the garden.

    Again I could be wrong, but I was assuming that if you take TV + Movies, then DVD/Blu-ray/VCR is included.

    I think that's what the medical care is for.

    I was wondering about the hygiene product but since I have a full kitchen I can can use the detergent to wash or make potpourri from the fresh fruits and herbs.

    I know the girl takes up 50% of my allocated points but I need secs and Anne Hathaway more so than video games and a big ass tv.

    I wouldn't do it. The return is too low. I could make $10 million in 10 years outside of a basement.... although I could probably turn this into a reality show and bank on more than the $10 million. Get the 18 year old and turn it into p*rn with the HD camera. Wham! Rich!

    -Full kitchen 6 pts (nothing but time to kill, may as well become a gourmet cook)
    -Tv 7 pts (no explanation needed)
    -Workout room 5 pts (kills time, get in great shape)
    -Medical care (delhi) 2 points (I am working out daily, eating well and have zero contact with other people... I MAY get sick on occasion but why do I need a mayo clinic doctor?)
    -Library 4 pts (kills time and I love to read)
    -Skylight 2 pts (so i don't go insane or come out looking like Powder)
    -Hygiene products 3 points (may be a good idea to be able to wash my hair, use soap, brush my teeth, shave...right? Plus if i am to spend a decade alone, lotion will be invaluable in the absence of women!! It says only a shower is included so I am assuming no soap is included)
    -Pool table 1 point (only have 1 point left and what use is a gun with 3 bullets if I am locked in a basement all alone? Can also kill time)

    30 points and I walk out as a guy who: can cook anything, is in phenomenal shape and is worth millions. I will make up for no women quickly

    (I would never do this...not worth a decade of my life)
