Video Games, No question. I spend most of my life Isolated already, and if I was to be able to get all the hardware to run every game ever created, My life would be great. It wouldn't be perfect, but I could easily live on a year of games. If I get pissed, chuck in something that lets me shoot people madly (Saints Row Anyone?) or if I feel like wasting a few hours of my time, chuck in something casual (Guitar Hero is perfect here.) But I'd really prefer to wait to start it until 1/1/2012 because by then all the games I want will be out, and I can waste way more than a year with what I'll have access to. Assuming ANY game is available from any genre and I got the peripherals for it, I'd easily be able to occupy my time, because with all the new Rhythm games that use real guitars, I could learn to play a hell of a lot better than I currently can. I would really hope that I can get a good Gaming PC for the year though, I can imagine trying to run Skyrim on my school laptop. That thing can't handle Minecraft, yet alone an actual game.
I do have one question though, can I get DLC for the games? If so, then it only makes me want to pick games more, as Rhythm games will pretty much never run out then.
Since I like to go into everything un-biased and give everything a chance, I've given the second option a quick thought. While yes, games do get old, so do people. There's only like, 2 people in the world I'd be fine with spending a year with if we had nothing to do, and they're the people who come up with crazy enough shit to keep me occupied. If I were to pick AJ, I'd be fine because we're both into making up weird tunes on the spot which basically means we could last a year making a song together, easily. But if I chose Daniel, I'd easily last a year, as me and him are working on a little project together which we're hoping might turn into a game and it's actually kind of fun to work on. He has a pretty unique personality too, so he wouldn't get too boring.
But overall, even if I were to be able to pick one of those two, or even have both, I'd still pick games, hands down. I'm simply more interested in games, and games wouldn't be the only thing I could do in the room, they'd just be the only thing there. If I had a computer, logically it would come with a copy of WordPad (Yay for not using Notepad!) so I could brush up on my literary skills and try and churn out a novel or something. Hell, if I had an iPod (Or even a copy of Guitar Hero 4, 5 or 6, I could theoretically train my voice so that I could come out of the room and sing like a pro.
I'd be fine with no Internet too, simply because I rarely play online and I usually play games for the story within them (Or just to pass time blindly). I'll sludge through some god awful gameplay if there's something about the story that I really like.
Before I start rambling for hours I'm going to quickly just say; Games = Epic, People = Stupid.
But hey, that's just me, and I'm basically the stereotypical nerd sitting in his basement playing world of warcraft levelling a fresh character to 80 in a week.
