Poll: You must spend a year locked in a room.

[Lillicus]

probably the second option, simply because I get bored of games rather quickly if I can't communicate while playing them.
In all honesty I'd probably just sleep a lot in the room

PS: How big is this room?

13 feet on each side.

I'd be more inclined to go with the 1st option, as there's only so much one person can offer you over the course of a year.

Ahh, this is an easy one. I don't like people to begin with so VIDYA GAMES IT IS! Also, as a question do we have an internet connection here or just single player?

 

[Frankster]

I can just about handle it as long as provided with copious amounts of narcotics.

I'd be a vegetable by the end of the year though ><

Just single player.

 

[LionHartXIII]

I think I would choose the significant other, Games are fun but companionship and of course like anyother guy SEX is more important to me than games....

Clearly stated, no internet.

I can barely stand to be around people as-is. So I would take the video games. I would likely go nuts at that point, but it's better then going nuts and killing someone.

Besides, there's a lot of games I NEED to play

 

[Annika Sjostrom]

video games, all the way.
I can't think of anybody that I would both want to spend that immense, and more importantly intense, amount of time with AND that I could jeopardize my relationship with.
so, it feels like an easy pick for me. sure i might get crazier, but that is just a risk I'd have to take

Do I want to spend a year locked in a room with only my girlfriend, or all the game I could want?

I'll pick the room full of games, and here is why:

I want to be able to get to know her on normal terms, not leave her locked in a room with me for a year! At some point, we'll both get bored out of our minds!

Plus, if I pick the room full of games, and I can have ANY game I want, and I don't lose any IRL time...Then I can clear out the backlog of every single game I've ever wanted to play ever, and have time to replay all my favourites! That way I will be totally caught up on all the games I ever missed!

I think I'd go with that. Yeah, it would be lonely as hell, but lonely and busy is better than not lonely and you and the other person are bored to the point of insanity!

...Can't I take my GF into the room with me AND have all the games for us to play together? She's a gamer too, you know!

Fair enough, heres a question that doesn't seem to have been answered yet: Will we have food in the room? If so I might choose person. You can't eat video games...well you can but it wouldn't be very healthy I imagine.

 

[electric_warrior]

I honestly don't believe I could spend a year in a room with someone without ending up hating them and them hating me, so I'm gonna go for video games

 

[sheah1]

Video games, I'd end up murdering the person (or vice versa), I'd rather lose my mind in a video game world than murder someone.


Wait.... Maybe that's not true.....

 

[ninja51]

That is really tough, I went for the video games simply because things would get incredibly boring once you run out of stuff to talk about and you cant have sex ALL the time (We all know we'd pick a member of the opposite sex ^^)

The no internet access or online gaming really put the two closer though

 

[Dirzzit]

The truth is you would go fucking insane Games or people either way. 365 days of standing in a room is the most boring shit ever, it's like waiting at the hospital.

Except you spend a year there.

How many games can you go through before getting bored? No one can play games for 8,765 hours straight. Even if you did little social interaction would turn you into a hermit. Getting too involved in fantasy like that would drive you mad, it's the Tetris effect multiplied.

Even if you did bring someone with you it will have the same effect, you get bored or fight.

Things lose meaning the more time you spend with them, the question itself is flawed. Why? Because it's a run out the clock situation with no way out sane.

if people play videogames nonstop for months they would be called no lives, imagine a year? Going back into social situations with other people even close to them is alien and weird. This would bring panic attacks and the longing for that box of a room right back.

And thats not even the least of it, time would slow down all around you. No sense of day or night and no indication of whats happening on the outside would turn you paranoid. Thinking the box would never open or open any minute, it would kill you.

Which brings me too the question, games or people? If this was a no choice question, I'd ask for a gun.

 

[Chase Yojimbo]

Already did it. Next question?

 

[Valksy]

I'll take the games. I don't get on well with most people.

Frankly, I would take any one of my hobbies over someone else. I get on fine with my own company.

 

[DeadEy3]

Video games...
I believe the cabin fever would set in about a week in for me(if the other option).

 

[SonofaJohannes]

Me and people don't go along well. Plus I'll have an excellent opportunity to play those classics on the older consoles.

 

[lettucethesallad]

Videogames. I'm pretty introverted as it is. With them, chances are I might go insane, but with another person I absolutely would. Staying in the same room with just one person for 365 days would probably lead to massive amounts of hate, yelling and a ruined friendship.
