I would go......to alot of concerts all over the world. Open Air here I come!

 

[The Wonder of the net]

invest 30,000 in bank CDS and then sit there and pay him the 20,000 i have to him to play games for a month straight and if he is still insane by the end of the year when the bank CDS mature i pay half of it to have him assassinated and then still work my crappy job while investing the money i still have

 

[Use_Imagination_here]

Donate 6 grand and make Jame Portnow do an irish dance for me.

The rest goes into my savings account.

 

[Avistew]

I save/invest it in the same way I would if I had obtained the money in any other way.

 

[2xDouble]

heh. Piss him off by donating it to the NEA with an earmark specifically for video game artists.

And donate it in his name. bwahahaha!

EDIT: Whoops, there's no initial D in National Endowment for the Arts.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

If by Jack Thompson, you mean Penny Arcade.

since Jack thompson won't.

 

[Fleetfiend]

I would....

Put 45k in savings.

Then blow the rest. Right now I would really like a fightstick... maybe a new computer, and a bunch of games and other misc. nerdy things that I really want.

The reason I would put in in savings is that I'm currently in highschool, about to go to a "smart person" boarding school, and there is really nothing else I could get... really. I would also give some to charity because I would feel bad if I didn't.

1)Flight to Turku, Finnland
2)Sabaton tickets
3)hotel
4)Sabaton merchandise
5)flight back

[Chronarch]

Hmm, well I'd give some to charity, maybe buy a better computer, and put the rest in the bank. I'd probably just horde it there until needed. If I played my cards right maybe I could invest and become obscenely wealthy, if that happened maybe I could get my hands on some technology and become Iron Man. Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.

[McMullen]

Pay for grad school. I hear he's a Christian fundamentalist, so there's a chance he'd be upset that his money paid for a geologist's training.

[Merkavar]

buy a super violent game and then go on a rampage in real life just to give him a win for once

 

[Macgyvercas]

since Jack thompson won't.

It's a hypothetical situation. Just run with it

Besides, Penny Arcade already did the whole "donation to charity by Jack Thompson" thing.

I was actually unaware of that. I don't read PA that much (I stick to XKCD)

 

[Kuilui]

[The Lugz]

buy ps3's and build a supercomputer array then rent it out, for science!

 

[pspman45]

All of it to Riot Games so they can get League of Legends back online. It doesn't take 5 damn hours to fix a matchmaking issue.

True dat
