I've got some DOOM WADs I have been meaning to play so I would probably grab Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the sequel to Ashes 2063, Ashes: Afterglow with a portable install of GZDoom to play them.

After that I'd probably bring Star Trek TOS and a MOBI copy of Neuromancer by William Gibson combined with a portable install of VLC and Calibre in case the computer didn't have applications that support the file format.


What about you?

I wanted to phrase this in a way where it isn't a prolonged or desert island style question where the responsible idea would be to bring Wikipedia ZIMs and educational PDFs. It's just an awkward amount of time to kill. The mid 2000s office desktop stipulation is just an additional challenge so you can't just bring in a copy of Baldur's Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077.


Edit: By mid 2000s I meant around 2005; the XP or Vista.

That sounds like a solid plan! Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the Ashes series are all great choices for some DOOM WAD fun. Adding in some classic Star Trek and a cyberpunk classic like Neuromancer for reading material is a nice touch. Bringing along portable installs of GZDoom, VLC, and Calibre shows great foresight in case the computer's applications don't support your files.

Any reason why? Nostalgia?

I feel like I had that or the Open Season game at one point

You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?

Nothing, because I won't have an internet connection...

Without an Internet connection? Nothing.
