Ah, I get it now
I’d buy a submarine yacht.
Rather Appropo username/subject combo.
{Makes a note for the games room in The Compound.}
I think we can work a Hobbit Hole into The Compound, since we plan to build into a hill for more climate control and camouflage.
I’d naturally have to buy a hockey team. Not necessarily NHL…I could live with owning an AHL team.
I want a Vegas casino, but I don’t think 100mil would cover that. Put me down for one of those if I can afford it.
I also want a super plush luxury motorhome that I can tour around in to see the country.
A Gothic cathedral, complete with full-size bells, grotesques and working gargoyles (i.e., actual downspouts) and an excellent pipe organ. I’d learn how to play the organ and play whenever I wanted. I’d rent the cathedral out for concerts or other functions.
Sorry, ´lycus. We were playing a game of “how long can we go without picking that nit” and you lost. Now you will be in charge of polishing the floors in my flat…
ETA: j66, I think Sunspace may be able to pull that. It may take a while, tho.
Arstechnica’s God Box or something like it. Maybe two of those Apple Cinema 30-inch HD flat-panel displays to go with it.
And a chubby redhead with real boobs and somewhat minor emotional baggage.
A live-in fitness trainer/cook to help both me and my husband get in better shape.
Baggage isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, even if it’s a matched set.
One of these (1938 Talbot Lago Teardrop Coupe). The last one auctioned went for about $2M.
I’d get what I’ve wanted for years-a Dr. No undersea window-lair.
And I’d buy at least one of these fun places to live and relocate it to the midwest somewhere. Or possibly the Outback. I’d give the Atomium to Skald.
I’d buy a movie studio, and dedicate one of their brands to only making movies written or suggested by Dopers. You wish movies were better? Here’s your chance to do it!
I’ll have to think of more…
Only one? Nuveau Riche Amateur!
It’s my own fault for not specifying Things that actually exist.
After I spend a few millon, it will.
I think it’ll be more than a few million.
You know, it’s not that hard to do it. Depends on how handy you are, but an old PC, MAME, some ROMs I won’t discuss, some wood, and an investment in buttons and trackballs…
Two hundred bucks for a single stand-up console that does all of the above with fidelity. Probably less per each if you wanted historical accuracy and only wanted to do one at a time.
Me? Oh, I have the winner.
I’d buy Wizards of the Coast. And let them do art. Make the best game they can, market it to the world, have fun. Forget selling a new edition every four years.
I’d reunite as much of everyone as wanted in. Monte Cook. Everyone. Even try to pull in separate independent studios like R. Talsorian or (especially) FASA/WizKids. (Bring back Crimson Skies!)
It’s not an investment. Trust me. It’d be a hole into which I’d pour money. But I’d pour it happily.
What? They exist. You’ve never seen an undersea hotel? I remember seeing them on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.
Quote is not edit. Ignore this.
I have never watched an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous; I found the announcer’s voice so grating I always had to change the channel.
Google supports your assertion, though. Huh. Did not know about that.
