Jimbob Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Desert Island Discs was originally a BBC radio programme where guests were invited to choose eight pieces of music, a book and a luxury item that they would take if they were to be cast away on a desert island. The idea has since been evolved and used elsewhere so I thought I'd bring our own version to RRU. The Rules You are going to be stranded on a desert island with nothing but a few possessions of your choice. You must choose three items to take from each of the following categories: Book Film Music TV Series Video Game You must then choose one luxury item. This is any non-living object, suitable to bring on a small boat or plane. To make things easier, box set releases are allowed. For example, a pack comprising of all 8 series of House, or a video game trilogy on one disc. Furthermore you may choose video games requiring internet connections, let's just say there's an energy crystal machine on the island that provides you with a decent connection. Let's see what you'd bring! I'll start. Also, feel free to write why you have chosen each item. My Desert Island Discs Books I'm not much of a book reader myself so I would have to take comic books instead. I'm a huge Mass Effect and Batman fan so naturally these would be my choices: Batman: Hush Mass Effect Library Edition Volume 1 Mass Effect Library Edition Volume 2 Films There are so many good films to choose from! To take just three though... I'd definitely have to have a Nolan film in there. The Dark Knight Trilogy The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - it was a tough choice between this and Star Wars: The Complete Saga, but in the end the story and film-making of TLOTR wins it for me Serenity Music This is perhaps the hardest category on the list for me, as there are so many great albums out there. Demon Days, by Gorillaz - this was hotly contested with Muse, but I couldn't pick a single album by them and already have TCV below as a Rock choice Mass Effect 2 Soundtrack, by Jack Wall Them Crooked Vultures, by Them Crooked Vultures TV Series Not too difficult as I don't watch a great deal of TV. Doctor Who: The Complete Box Set - Series 1-7 (gah, why haven't they made a release with Series 8 included yet!) Family Guy - Seasons 1-14 (I need some comic relief in here, there are some great choices but the randomness of Family Guy wins it for me) Firefly Video Games I think this list is probably the easiest. LittleBigPlanet 3 - it was this or Destiny, but I feel I'd need something which uses my creativity Mass Effect Trilogy Vanquish - a little-known yet incredibly brilliant, fast-paced shooter game Luxury Item My bass guitar! Or perhaps an acoustic one so I don't need an amp. Or maybe a fancy electric one with a built-in amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
