We have all heard the question "If you were stranded on an island, what would be the one CD you would take with you" or whatever.

I was talking to some of my friends and we decided it would be better if we covered all forms of general media not altered in realtime (Which means no internet!).

So I decided that 1 Discography of a band, 1 Movie, 1 Book, 1 Game, 1 Guitar, and 1 Amp covers pretty much everything we need here at GMC on an island (Assuming said island has the means to use all this )

So what would you pick NOW?

Discography: Iron Maiden
Movie: Watchmen
Book: House Of Suns
Game: Final Fantasy 7
Guitar: Jem Universe 7 String
Amp: Vai's Carvin Legacy

Didn't know a couple of you likes The Watchmen. Cool.

Posted by: The Uncreator Jul 27 2009, 06:18 PM

To be honest if I had to pick a favorite movie it would be Watchmen without hesitation, The extended version, with all the deleted scenes thats just over 3 hours, Is so amazing. The added scene with Hollis Mason and the Knot Tops just added such a dark sense of doom the theatrical version didnt get.

Love it.
