You've been shipwrecked on an uninhabited tropical island, in uncharted waters, no hope of rescue, EVER.
The only good thing in your favour is a plentiful supply of locally grown produce to live off, decent living accomodation, and, amazingly enough, a 240v powersupply, Sony Wega 32" Widescreen T.V. and an unlimited supply of Pringles.
One day, a crate washes up on the shore. You see a 'Documents Enclosed' envelope on the side, and eagerly ripping it open you see the words:
"Enclosed is your new console and your one game, we wish you many hours of pleasure."
Considering that this game has to last you the rest of your natural life, and the chances of another crate washing up in the same manner are zero, which console and game do you most hope is in that crate? And why?

In that case my "Occupations" thread should win at least 3 GADs!
I'll modify my wording then, something original and interesting ;)
What about The Saga of Stick, The second saga of Stick and The continueing Saga of stick? that was origional!
I think so anyway.
Harumph!

DeltaJava - I think the original message from FM is definetly GAD worthy. I was actually thinking it would be nice to see a thread that was just a good idea win, rather than someone hammering away at their keyboard untill the post is so long few will actually read it all and the mods just give it GAD to save reading to the conclusion. Feel free to point out my MMORPG thread as an example of the latter ;)
The thread was a good idea that created a good response - why not give it GAD?
Oh, and sometimes it is good to hit the "Reply Quoting Message" button - I thought you were replying to my message, directly below yours, at first and wondered what you were on about!

Its all about the idea not the content...
It was a good discussion point that made you think......
Its also different, which is what SR tend to go for....
A bit like the bloke that did the story with all the game titles in it, not long ago....
Wish I could think of something new and different..... FM and ideas?!

This isn't really GAD worthy, you know.
Read this joke last night and it just made me think of this thread...
A guy is stranded on a desert island all alone for ten years. One day he sees a speck on the horizon. He thinks to himself, "It's not a ship." The speck gets a little closer and he thinks, "It's not a boat." The speck gets even closer and he thinks, "It's not a raft." Then, out of the surf comes this gorgeous blonde woman wearing a wet suit and scuba gear.
She comes up to the guy and she says, "How long has it been since you've had a cigarette?"
"Ten years!", he says.
She reaches over, unzips this waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it, takes a long drag and says, "Man, oh man! Is that good!"
Then she asked, "How long has it been since you've had a drink of whiskey?"
He replies, "Ten years!"
She reaches over, unzips her waterproof pocket on the right, pulls out a flask and gives it to him. He takes a long swig and says, "Wow! That's fantastic!"
Then she starts unzipping this long zipper that runs down the front of her wet suit and she says to him, "And how long has it been since you've had some REAL fun?"
And the man replies, "My God! Don't tell me you've got a Gameboy in there?"

The fan could come in pretty handy.
