<p>I’m not saying all the suggestions will work with you or are necessary to you, but I hope in some way they may help.</p>

<p>The Definitve Entertainment List</p>

  1. Video game console (Playstation, X-Box, Game Cube)

<p>Books

  1. Favorites-- people bring a few of their favorite old books from home with them to college-- call it “comfort reads.”
  2. If you’re religious, bring your Bible or Koran etc.
  3. The basics for writing: a writing style book, a dictionary, a thesaurus
  4. Atlas-- any cartographers out there? A world or nation atlas is informative

<p>Viewing Entertainment

  1. TV
  2. DVD or VHS
  3. Laptops and desktops will play your DVDs as well
  4. DVDs or Videos: I’ve noticed people have their general favorite movies and TV shows:
  5. the Lord of the Rings movies
  6. the Harry Potter movies
  7. Sex and the City seasons on DVD
  8. Family Guy seasons on DVD
  9. Legally Blonde
  10. Gladiator
  11. the Matrix films
  12. Various anime DVDs (often imported, or more like imported and then illegally copied J)
  13. the Spider-Man movies
  14. Star Wars movies
  15. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

    Etc.</p>

<p>Music

  1. I-Pod or other music player (MP3, CD player)
  2. Cds
  3. CD cases, or soft-cover CD folders which are more space efficient and easier to carry
  4. Laptop or desktop computer will play your music-- extra speakers take up a lot of space
  5. Radio/stereo
  6. Headphones-- very important-- both to block out annoying sounds from your roommate or keep music your roommate doesn’t like to yourself</p>

<p>Man, the Sex and the City DVDs will sure go over well with the guys! ;P</p>

3

<p>are you an advertiser or do you just have a ton of free time</p>

4

<p>Yes… this is one of the definitive spamming list.</p>

5

<p>“are you an advertiser or do you just have a ton of free time”</p>

<p>“Yes… this is one of the definitive spamming list.”</p>

<p>Well, for other people it might be informative, helpful and a reminder of what they might need or want in their dorm rooms.</p>

<p>If you don’t personally think much of it, then… ignore it. I don’t think that’s too difficult for you two, or is it?</p>

<p>To astro101: “Man, the Sex and the City DVDs will sure go over well with the guys! ;P”</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m sure it will. :)</p>

6

<p>For EVERYTHING up there, except the sports (and a few of the books), all you need is a nice computer.</p>

7

<p>not really… many games are not realeased for the pc…</p>

<p>Even though the comp will be more than enough for most people.</p>

8

<p>::not really… many games are not realeased for the pc…::</p>

<p>…and many games are not released on consoles…</p>

<p>Console games and PC games are very different in style, and you can’t really compare them. A game that may be really popular on the PC would sell horribly if it were ported directly to a console, and vica versa.</p>

<p>Personally I don’t like console games.</p>

9

<p>I cant stand first person shooters on consoles (the controller is terrible for it compared to mouse and keyboard) but I cant deal with racing games on the PC (unless I turn it into a console by buying a controller because the keyboard is useless for racing)</p>

<p>A lot of other games just dont work well on the console like RTS or complex RPG (becuase of the amount of input required).</p>

10

<p>All I’m taking with me entertainment wise:</p>

<p>Laptop
iPod
like 13 inch LCD TV</p>

<p>Dorm comes with cable…enough for me now, I can always grab what I need when I visit home</p>
