lol so easy... Room A!
Xbox 360 (with or without live dont know rules well enough), food, TV, DVDs, music, computer, and a clone of Scarlett Johansson is all i would EVER need

I really don't know what I would choose. Most everyone has said room A sounds great but they probably didn't give it thought that it is 20 fucking years. That's my whole life + 1 year and it's pretty fucking long. Not only that, as an adult, everything is so much more bland (from personal experience). Enjoyment won't be the same as it was when I was a kid meaning depression will come easier. Also, the thought of being watched on everything I do would creep the shit out of me. (Also, for those that choose room A, consider the fact that you won't even get internet)
Clone or no clone, I'll probably be striving for REAL human interaction. Sex isn't the only social contact that is important to us. Psychologically speaking, we all need acceptance and the clone can't give that to us.
Also, how do you make requests? Do you just write something and they give it to you? How would they bring in the things you needed? I can understand video games and books being put in front of the door but if you were to ask for a bed, they would have to bring it in since you can't do it on your own (which could be considered human interaction).
*EDIT:
Answer to my own question:
I guess they can move you to a different room using communicating with lights and shit while they move the stuff and let you back in the room.
As for asking for games, since you wouldn't know what was going on outside could you request for the hottest game currently for "x" console or the hottest anime etc.? (Though the topic starter probably isn't going to reply I'll ask anyway)
Anyway, like I said, I really don't know what I would choose, but I'm leaning more towards room B. I don't think I could survive without human contact for 20 years.
(Seems like this could be a test to see if you're a real optimists or pessimists)
No internet, buddy. It'd be communicating with the outside world.

Tough decision but I picked option 3. A clone that doesn't talk or respond to you? I probably could not deal with that. 20 years... That is an eternity for me, even a month is let alone 20 years in a room.
The room A option reminds me of a short story which is called The Bet by Anton Chekhov. It is where the main character takes a bet in which if he could stay in an isolated room with no contact with outside for 15 years he would get 2 million dollars.

What'll happen after 2 hours?
But I choose room A, I can imagine all of games and fucking my favourite fiction character for 20 years~

I didnt mean like for chatting and messaging... but just for playing online competitively without communicating.
You would be like #1 in Halo 3

Wouldn't matter. You're still online with other people and interacting with them.

Its really an obvious answer. I think the TC should have made the conditions a bit more difficult to choose from. If this poll was to be posted in a strongly sport related community then probably Room B would have a long queue.

That really made me think, but in the end, Room A would be pretty awesome. Essentially whatever you want without any social contacts? That would give me time to learn things I couldn't with a social life, like other languages.

Choice A is a test of one's sanity and ability to cope with being isolated which it's not a 100% you'll survive it for 2 decades, let alone keeping one sanity stable without socialization. Choice B would be you accept the fact you don't want to wait that long or just know you're gonna die eventually (basically get it over with....) Choice C which is the waiting game is your wild card. Heck whether I live or die, I made my choice with C to see what could happen.

I'd go with A cause hey, I get a clone of anyone, games, food. Though I wouldn't start to think about the psychological effects that develop as time goes by but as along as I can stay satisfied, I guess I can try to manage.

WARNING: Even though this is in serious discussion I'm just going to say that you might be required to think a decent amount to understand this
because of this, the fact that this is very long, and because I want to separate this from my pointless comments I'm spoiling this
To those who decided against reading the crap that took me forever to put into words and type: I choose room B
Pointless comments: what happens if we choose room B and we miss or just shoot our leg.
and is there a toilet in the room

I'd choose room A.
It'd be interesting.
All the psychological mindfuck I'd go through.
But, the question is, will the voice talk to you asking for what you want?
Or is it some sort of thing where you type what you want, send it, and give it to you?
That difference can make a man go crazy.
No interaction with other human life will make you become like Tom Hanks from Cast Away or Will Smith from I am Legend.
I'd probably request for nice food like sushi and grade A beef.
Clone..hmm...Olivia Munn.
Computer with internet, Guitar, Couch, Futon, TV with cable, wii, xbox, ps3, a DDR machine, a resident evil shooting arcade, a rock climb machine, plenty of figures and dakimakuras, posters, a surround sound stereo system, every band and artist cd I like, Some sound absorbing wall ornament things, Nice computer chair, Nice computer desk, a chin up bar, a rolex, a vending machine with cigarettes, snacks and soda, a zen garden, a punching bag, treadmill, a mp3 player, nice clothes, a new hat every week, a slinky, a dog, a cat, a vegetable garden, some oxy clean, a kitchen, washer and dryer, a lot of canned food, a rice cooker, pots and pans, et cetera.
I got tired of listing shit.
Other then human interaction, I'd probably would have the greatest life a man could ask for. a fuck buddy that doesn't bitch. The best technologically advanced devices, and a dog!
