If you had OBSCENE AMOUNTS OF MONEY...

[Jolts]

What would you do? It doesn't even have to be realistic.

I'd probably hire two teams of guys: One team to blow up my cars as soon as I get out of them and one to replace them as soon as I'm done walking away and not looking back.

[Descriptor]

I would get the highest reward tier in the HS kickstarter.
That thank you letter would be so worth it.

it would be worth every penny : )

[AProcrastinatingWriter]

I would settle into an average slightly-above-middle-class life with my future wife and eventual family, buying something obscenely expensive maybe once every three or four years at most. I would then pursue my dream as head of an animation studio, as well as being that animation studio's head writer.

...also charity or something because apparently that's what good people do with money or somethng

[DancingDemonDove]

I would take my stupid money and, once my ideal home is built, I'd open up a junk shop. At heart, I have very simple pleasures.
And every couple of years, I'd go out into the desert with a ton of fireworks and just blow stuff up.

[Wacom Guy]

I would pay back Tom Nook IN FULL

[Avi]

I'd buy an abandoned castle and invite my friends to sleep over one night to compete for all my money in a series of psychological mind games.

I'd buy an abandoned castle and invite my friends to sleep over one night to compete for all my money in a series of psychological mind games.

And kill them off one by one in a matter related to how they have each individually slighted you?
Because who does anything else really.

And I would probably buy obscene quantities of explosives, buy an island, and blow up a load of things. Simple things please simple minds.

[trueBug]

I would bring back Legends of the Hidden Temple.

[Sonira]

I'D BUY HAPPINESS. Nobody tells me what I can't buy.

but no, for real, I'd probably just use it on practical things and donate the rest because I'm boring

[Kíeros]

Lots of books, and lots of computer stuff. Basically, anything to acquire knowledge because "Knowledge is some pretentious quote from some website that I'm not bothering to look up".

[Wiwaxia]

And kill them off one by one in a matter related to how they have each individually slighted you?

All I know is that if I had an abandoned castle and a bunch of friends, there are things I would much rather be doing there.

[Karhs12]

I would probably do several things. First, I'd purchase a large tract of land somewhere, perhaps an island, and form my own city-state. Second, I'd pay for the research and development required to get my brain into an eternal robot spider body. Third, I'd get a mouth and tongue for said robot and eat lots of mint icecream, the manufacture of which I would pay for in entirety. But not mint chip icecream. No. Just. Mint.

I would bring back Legends of the Hidden Temple.

I would then marry you for doing so.

[Varkarrus]

I would design a fantroll with a horn afro, two moustaches, lots of body hair, a huge nose, and 3 arms. Then I'd pay 10,000$ to make her canon.

Also I'd comission Joss Whedon to create a hit TV series based off of me and my buds' shadowrun characters.

[Levenfish]

Start up an indie game company.

Then fund other indie games.

Then more indie games.

Until every game, independent, or even triple-A titles are being funded in part by me, and I'm getting a piece of all the profits.

Move onto art, literature, music. Become a modern-day patron of the arts.

Move onto science, engineering. Build cities in my name.

Medicine, automobiles, real estate, philanthropy. Cure world hunger, then give those people jobs to fully staff and inhabit planned cities all along the soon-to-be-terraformed Sahara. Seriously, all that sand, taking up space.

Become my own country. Slowly make every other country dependent on me. Unify and stabilize the world economies, shuffle people around the world as I go around rebuilding planned and formatted cities, then moving them back in.

And then whoever gave me the money in the first place reveals himself as Hussie or NPH or some eldritch something, and zaps me to a higher plane of existence for winning the game.

[balthazar]

Start my own aerospace company focusing on cheap heavy lift capability and begin building large amounts of orbital infrastructure. Once the necessary infrastructure is in place, I shall begin colonizing space, and in doing so, save the human race from inevitable extinction!

[Graknorke]

Actually, I'd probably fund the Bay12 space program with almost all of it.
I would like to have some part in the first Dwarf Fortress game played outside of Earth's atmosphere.

[Gradiant]

Get a bunch of credit cards and fund the $1,000,000 tier for the kickstarter a bunch of times. Who says that you can't have more than one most important character?

[Graknorke]

Get a bunch of credit cards and fund the $1,000,000 tier for the kickstarter a bunch of times. Who says that you can't have more than one most important character?

The superlative is used for comparing one person or thing with every other member of their group (e.g. he was the tallest boy in the class).

It's the Oxford English Dictionary, I think they know what they're talking about.

[Mustavus]

I doubt I'd live drastically different than I do, now. I'd buy some snazzier gadgets, a computer worth more than $150, and a car, and travel a bit. Past that... maybe invest in new energy or something?

It could be neat to have a yacht, but past that typical rich people things seem pretty unappealing.

[C4Pottery]

Build a small, undreground house, fix my car, set up an annuity, buy a deli, or if possible convert this building into one, and enjoy life. I'd probably do a lot more with Kiva and Kickstarter too.

[Captain Morpheus]

Bank the everloving tits out of it. Then laugh as I walk to and fro the bank to collect interest.

The funny thing is that this has actually been my goal for later on in life: hoard it and live off of it.

[thottobeextinct]

Spoilered for length. It started out normal....then it just evolved into some bad rap song. I apologize for what you might read.

[Dentrala]

Hookers and blow.

(But it'd be hard to get the proportions right).

[Wiwaxia]

Make a fucking castle with secret passages and secret rooms that can only be accessed via dumbwaiter and secret gardens and secret treasure
