I'd "be off ter spend spend spend"! Banjo-Kazooie pwned. Why did they leave Nintendo?

TMK fan since three years ago!

[Vidgmchtr]

They didn't, they're still making games for the GBA.

Oh, and I'd most likely by a mansion in Japan, and do lots of other things.

[Markio]

I'd Keep it! >:P

Seriously though, I'd give it to my family so we could pay off whatever money problems we had, then put the rest in some account or something.  And probably donate part to some charity, but I don't know which one.

Then... Nintendo just sold RARE from it's main systems but not the handhelds?  And could someone please tell me what pwn stands for before I lose my entire brain?!

If I had 7 million dollars I would first give Deezer $1,000 to answer my Two Stupid Questions thread which is driving me up the wall.  Then I would give Sapphira $500 for Mario games since she keeps talking about not being able to play them (I would also give her another $500 if she finished The Prophecy).  Then I would give $99,800 to Nintendo so they could have more help in beating Microsoft, but ONLY if they first made SMRPG for NDS with multiplayer.  With the rest I would give $2.5 million to charity, $3 million to people helping the tsunami victims, and finally half a million for myself and college classes.  And I guess I could give some to my church as well.  It's going through a lot of construction right now and needs more money.

[mariluigi3]

i'd buy all the gamecube and PC games the world has to offer.

[Suffix]

1 million to charity,
2 million to my college funds,
2-3 million to my bank account,
and 2-1 million on other stuff (whatever I see fit to help people or buy things)

[Chupperson Weird]

First and Second Million - Use for games, books and collectibles, and keep some in reserve for future needs.
Third, Fourth Million - Buy a nice house, pay bills.
Fifth Million - I'unno, give it to some poor kids, why not.
Sixth Million - College expenses, and the rest goes to savings.
Seventh Million - I'd probably keep it.

Y'know, when I first read the question, I knew that I'd be able to categorize all of the answers:

- Selfish squandering:  spend it all on junk you want but would never need
- Practical squandering:  more sensible, maybe used to pay living expenses
- Investment:  put that money away with hopes of getting more money
- Charity:  give it to those who'd need it more

The whole spectrum.  Or any combination of it.
So I though, what could be a good answer that wouldn't fall into such an obvious reply?


I'd burn it.
Allllll seven million.  I'd make a big pile of $1 bills and burn it.  And laugh as the smoke rose into the sky.

No, not really, I just wanted to say that.
I don't know what I'd do, not exactly.

Go Moon!

[superstarMASIAH]

This idea may seem like it came from a drunk bum, but it is really what I would do

1.  I would build the biggest Mushroom Mansion ever!

2.  I would then assign NASA to make it antigravitational.

3.  I would build a staue of my grand-ma, who currently has alzhiemers.

4.  I would make the west wing into a ginormous replica of my aunts house, which she moved from when I was 6.

5.  After all the fabricating and junk is done I would invite all of the people currently at TMK to it.

Fencing, 17th Century!  YOU''RE IT!!

[Koopaslaya]

I'd give it to charity.

[Red Paratroopa]

I guess I'd throw it in the pile with the rest. That's what I normally do.

I would spend 2 million for a really nice, 10-story, bungalow hotel on the coast of Myrtle Beach.
I would save the rest of the money and live off of profits from the hotel. I'd build more hotels on the coast, slowly gaining more and more millions in the process. I'd share my ever-increasing income with the starving children, family members, and friends. I'd buy a large amount of stock in Cedar Point. After I make my first billion I would fly everyone on the Fungi Forums to a fantabulous beach party at one of my fantabulous Myrtle Beach hotels. After that, I'd give away more money, invest in gold, and give away my hotel chain in a reality show.

Wow, that sounds like an excellent idea! There's one problem, though. It would take a lot more money to build such a hotel.

I would buy video games. Lots and lots of video games. And a mansion to put them in.

I'd spend all capital Seven Million dollars on some spare time, even if all I could get is a few seconds in which to tell Chup and Lizard how much I like their new pics.

“Hey, lemme borrow your bike. C’mon, I’ll give you some chips.”

[Luigison]

If I had "Seven Million dollars" I would:

-Throw a party for all TMK and most Fungi Forum members.

-Buy a house with a theater/video game center, swimming pool, big yard, and plenty of room to ride bikes.

-Donate.

-Invest.

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

Oh man, how could I forget about you guys?!?  Yeah, I guess I could use some leftover money to buy a mansion that everyone could come too.  I would invite all of my friends and family who want to come and then ALL of the members of TMK who are close to my age or older.  Before that I would load the mansion with tons of the best Nintendo, XBox, PS2, and PC games to play on several mega big-screen TVs.  I would also order pizza for everyone-- any kind of pizza from any restuarant-- plus burgers, chinese food, mexican food, french... and also drinks and enough ice cream to kill Fat Albert.  We would have a great time and party until the sun comes up... and goes down again.  We would laugh at how everyone looks who hasn't seen them, listen to WTMK until we go insane, play VGs until our eyeballs bleed, and... let's face it... probably fight a lot too.

I also can't forget to mention that there would be a game room with pool tables, dart boards and whatnot, a laser tag room, giant Mario-themed arcade, a haunted basement just for the fun of it, a giant pool in the really big back yard (shaped like Mario's head) with a water slide, five basketball courts, a big go-kart track, a rollercoaster, and a tennis court.  Oh wait... did you say 7 million or 47 million?  Oh well, whatever.

Oh yeah, and no alchohol would be allowed.  Sorry about that (don't want to create the world's biggest disaster party at a mansion and possible future reality show).

[EDIT] Ha ha ha!  Thanks for saying that, Watoad!

.....With seven million dollars? ...7 BILLION dollars wouldn't even make them blink.

[Markio]

To tell you the truth, I don't think I deserve seven million dollars, and if I did, I wouldn't tell anyone outside my family, because I don't want people to think I'm rich or something.  I really would just give it to people who really need it, after paying off family debts.

I'd give my money to my friends........ all of it...... and uh, maybe keep a buck and spend it on a........ new game.......
