I don't know about you guys, but in my family we're not allowed to talk about Christmas until after Thanksgiving. This was mainly to stop my beligerant cousins from pestering my grandma. So, anyhow, post what you're asking for on this most commercialized of holidays.
I'd like...
King of the Hill seasons 1, 2, 4, 5
These sweet Achewood glasses
A DVD burner
Money
A functioning alarm clock
Snowboarding Pants
Gloves
Socks
I guess thats about it.
A unicorn (no pegassus' please),
Shadow of the Colossus,
Monty Python's Flying Circus,
Stargate SG-1 Season 7 and 8,
Pants and clothes,
Art and CG Modelling books.
King of the Hill season 5, please. Someone get me a new job in my field and a little love too. Greedy greedy.
An XbOx 360, fo sho.
H&M gift card.
Some sweet art deco glasses I saw in a store in Chicago.
Money money money
Gas money
Lots of sex.

Japanese White PSP
Alton Brown Good Eats DVD set
new pots and pans

A new snowboard
Snowboard coat
Snowboard pants
Gloves
Bindings
Boots
Snowboard shit is too difficult to choose though. There is just so much it's impossible to pick anything, and when you do make a decision, something is wrong with it. I hate snowboarding. Luckily my birthday is real close to christmas.
I'd also like an xbox 360, but that's out of the question...
To know, in stone, that someone is paying for next semester.
Anything past that, even just a bag of candy, is fine.
DS PLZ
Poon.
You hate snowboarding? Then why the fuck are you asking for a $1000 worth of new equipment?Quote:

Also, be sure to ask for some snowtires for the H2. That shit ain't got 4WD.
It's love hate. Snowboarding has been one of my favorite past times for the past 4 years, I just get discouraged by my gear. Everytime I pick up something new, theres something wrong with it. I can't afford to drop $300 for expensive coats either.Quote:

The Warner Brothers Gangsters set
The Blind Dead set
A Nintendo DS with a copy of Animal Crossing
A pair of corduroys that never wear out
Pretty much I just want a tablet. I have everything else I need.
You can get a decent jacket for under $100. I got mine for $60, and its a mid-tier item. AND it came with a Decepticon patch.Quote:

Christmas became kinda redundant for me when I got a job. My main focus is on getting other people presents now.
I think I'm getting cable TV in my room for christmas, which would be pretty neat.
Oh hell naw! In the past I've gone with lots of stuff that was heavily lined for warmth, but this season I think I'm going to try to go for really light gear and layers. Hopefully it'll make me a bit more mobile then my 10 pound coat is at the end of the day. What a fucker.Quote:

The Movies. (PC Game)
Oh, nice call. I could go for one of those.Quote:
DS PLZ
Maybe Trackmania Sunrise? Outside of that, I can't think of a thing.
-XBox 360
-Amped 3 (360)
-Perfect Dark Zero (360)
-Castlevania: Daw of Sorrow (DS)
-Advance Wars: Dual Strike (DS)
I'd like some new shoes
some tshirts and jeans
a nice jacket
a hoodie
another nintendo ds
animal crossing ds
sonic rush
castlevania ds
Rescue Rangers DVD
Gargoyles season 2 DVD
The Outer Limits season 1
And 300 bucks.
Guitar Hero
FMA DVD 6 and the artbox
These sneakers.
A job
Money
That's all I can think of right now.
To graduate college without my financial aid fucking up.
I'd like the complete set for FireFly.
fuck it, I bought it anyway. :evil:
My mom got me some new shoes for work today, which crossed off one item on my list.
Hot stuff: http://s7.sears.com/is/image/Sears/0...=0.5,1.0,0.0,0
Also want:
-Cash
-Whatever my girlfriend gets me (I have no clue what it is, but she knows what I like better than I do)
-black belt (not the karate kind)
-maybe a DS with Mario Kart, but I don't play videogames too often anymore, so it's definitely a maybe
Edit: Oh, and I could use a polyurethane rear engine mount for my SVT Focus. It's supposed to help firm up shifting quite a bit.
Reasonable list? A second Guitar Hero controller, a 20GB or so HDD for my PS2 for the loader, and some books maybe (gift card).
What I -really- want is a new iMac to replaceme five year old one that's almost dead. I'm going to wait for the processor switch in spring/summer before I worry about that one, though, and how to pay for it. Possibly a laptop instead, since I'll be going to college.
Since my family is pretty miserable at getting me things I like, I'll end up getting a lot of gift cards (and Wal-mart clothes from my grandmother, hah). I have odd tastes and none of them are very up on technology and the like, so I can't complain or blame them much at all.
Oh, and lots of these:

Here's my Amazon wishlist
I told everyone to ignore anything ranked below medium. I like to give everyone a lot of options. I'd be happy with any of this stuff.
I have a tablet. I just need everything else.Quote:

Got my brother this for Christmas. List is $150, Amazon has it for $105 and Costco has it for $85.
it's kind of funny to think how a man's life's work fits into a few volumes in a little box
it's a big box.
It's the greatest comic strip of all time. And it will never be surpassed. I'd be happy doing something no one could ever top.
Golden retriever puppy
Mountain bike
Some misc camping gear
Clothes
Gift certificate to Hastings
That's about all I can think of.
A brown suit.
A gray suit.
A lavender shirt or two to go with the gray suit (and accompanying ties).
This sassy number:

And time w/my girlfriend.
Oh, and most importantly, a good score on the GRE and ACCEPTANCE INTO GRAD SCHOOL.
Crap I forgot about this..I want one of these too.Quote:

Have been looking for a practice amp. Played this in Sam Ash, and loved how even with everything set to five and no distortion, this amp had some crunch and sonic ruggedness to it.
So far, that's about it. Maybe a fairly decent PC too. I miss ePSXe, and wanna give SSF a whirl.
I need a new Xbox, but am waiting (and hoping) that the Xbox emulator included with the Xbox360 eventually gets an update that allows for Panzer Orta. I don't wanna get an Xbox if there's a realistic possiblility that the 360 will eventually supply all my Xbox needs.
Anyone this year who was planning on getting me something for xmas or my birfday can direct their gift money towards my credit card debt.
Get an orange AD30 combo amp instead of that solid state monstrosity that you'll hate in a week.Quote:

Check it out. Regardless of what kind of music you play.
No, that'd be Peanuts but C&H are a close second.Quote:

Orange is a very good brand and trusted by virtually all professional musicians. The list of people who have used them is like a mile long. However if you don't want to drop that kind of cash, just watch pawn shops. Eventually some kid is going to pawn the antique tube amp that his gramps gave him because it is noisy (which 50%-80% of can be fixed) then you are in for the win. If it doesn't have Marshall or Fender on the front, you can get it for a 100 or less.
BTW, IF you do buy a tube amp, don’t stick your hand in the back of it and poke around. Unlike your playstation, some of the capacitors in a tube amp can dump enough current into you to stop your heart. This can kill you.

Shadow of the Colossus
Last Exile Box
That's about all I got right now.
Peace and quiet. Actually, I don't even care about peace -- just quiet.
peace on earth...

nah, just kidding, I want a Kalashnikov
So, at least for a smaller practice amp, tube for the win. Thanks, guys.. And it's not a matter of testicular fortitude, Josh, it's a matter of financial flexibility.
Word, son, word.Quote:

Tube for the win. Always. Solid state sucks in every way possible.Quote:

The_Meach, you're a good person for getting your brother that. I've wanted that set for christmas since it came out. I have all the books, but I guess there is quite a bit of comics that weren't plublished in book form that are in this set.
So:
Calvin & Hobbes Set
AND

Just make sure you have a friend handy to revive you with a wailing, tube amp played rendition of Motley Crue's Kickstart My Heart.Quote:
