Four months without internet

If you had four months without Internet, access to your laptop, and a 2 TB hard drive (+ your phone), what would you load up on the HD to pass the time?

Custom Roms, Movies, Games?

Any suggestions welcome!
 
Wow! That's like asking what food is best....harder! Very personal. I range from Steven King to Larry Niven with non fiction political and sports thrown into the mix. I've always leaned towards Scifi. Right now I'm reading Elmore Leonard Raylund Givins stuff (Riding the Rap) and I just finished Jets head jackass Rex Ryans book.
 
I went with out internet for a few months, and had a 1tb hard drive. I filled it with books, movies, tv shows, music. Gotta have all the 6 ft Under episodes, also Weeds, Dexter, Breaking Bad... I keep having to delete stuff off my drive to put new stuff on....
 
I went 19 years without internet so 4 months seems like it would be a cake walk, granted I was 19 years old when I first got internet access. That being said, I'd use the 4 months as an excuse to unplug. Maybe just take music with me, I mean it's only 4 months. I'd rather pack light and have a nice high capacity music player with me so that when I have access in 4 months, I'll appreciate being plugged back in.
 
I'd fill it with music, ebooks (which are very small so--- you'd get boat loads), videos (because I'm a sucker for all the commentary and all that - so each movie at least 2x ;))

And old games that I've not finished. Fallout 1, 2 and tactics... Command and Conquer Generals... :D morrowind... :D :)

I'd be kinda fun wouldn't it? :)
 
Play through old DOS games! Some that I liked:
Spiderbot - I never made it very far and always wondered how it ended.
The Last Half of Darkness - made me jumpy!
Maniac Mansion - good for a laugh.
Duke Nukem - hilarious graphics, really fun to play.

As for books, I'd bring a copy of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
 
Either microsoft word or pages, C++ compiler, Books to learn coding, science dvds, a couple games like the sims, perhaps GTA, MUSIC! Not sure what else. Perhaps some guitar playing turorials
 
Yep, I'd be with movies and tv shows that have great repeatability.
For me, I honestly watch all seasons of Scrubs every night before I go to bed. It's great comedy and great action. Buffy is another favorite.
Not much of a gamer but if there's some sort of Sudoku program out there, that would work for a while.
Books wise, War and Peace? :confused:;)

Thank you everyone for all your responses. I decided to just take a few ebooks with me along with tons of music. (I can atleast listen to it and read it on my phone :P)
