Okay, the point here is to post your list of five (or ten, if you are more ambitious or can't decide) music CDs, five DVDs, and five video games you would take with you if you were stranded on a desert isle. Of course, this is presupposing that you have the requisite player or console with you in order to play them. I'll start.

In no particular order:

CDs
Low-Long Division
Mazzy Star-Among My Swan
Stereolab-Peng
The Velvet Underground-The Velvet Underground and Nico
Joy Division-Substance
Nick Drake-Way to Blue
Labradford-Prazision
Aphex Twin-Selected Ambient Works, Vol II
Flying Saucer Attack-Distance
Tricky-Maxinquaye

Note:I cheated a bit with Joy Division and Nick Drake since their albums listed are both "best of"s.

DVDs
Safe
Heavenly Creatures
Repulsion
Boogie Nights
Star Wars: A New Hope
American Beauty
Series 7: The Contenders
Fritz Lang's Metropolis
Perfect Blue
Waking Life

Video Games
Morrowind
Phantasy Star Online
Ogre Battle 64
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
RPG Maker 3
Mario Kart DS
Starcraft 64
The SNES version of Civilization II
Skies of Arcadia
WarioWare (the GBA one)

Note:I only listed console games that I've owned at one point in time in my life, not computer titles, hence Starcraft 64 and SNES Civ II. Also note that most of the games listed either can take 100 or more hours to solve (FFTA, Skies of Arcadia, Morrowind) or are for the most part open ended and can be played almost infinitely (PSO, RPGM 3). Finally, WarioWare and Mario Kart are not necessarily in my top ten favorite games, but are thrown in to add some variety to a strat/rpg/strat-rpg heavy list.

Now it's time for you to submit your lists!
