TNL Holiday Wish Lists 2015 - Stability in a Crazy World

You know what? Let's not even talk about what's going on out there. This thread is your safe space, your link to the family holidays you either had or you dreamed about when you were small and Mario/Sonic/Lara/Crash was one of your closest friends.

For several years now, TNL has been holding this gift exchange, a holiday tradition more palatable than a Christmas fruitcake but less awkward than mistletoe. Using this thread you can:

a) Give something back to some of the TNL people you spend so much quality time with.

b) Find wish lists of like-minded folks, getting new ideas for your own purchases and turning others on to things you enjoy.

c) Support this site by offsetting some of the costs of running it.

Anytime you visit amazon.com via a link on this site and make a purchase, you are supporting this community. Amazon takes a percentage of the money it makes from eligible purchases and credits it to TNL. So you do the shopping you normally would, with all the low prices and other Amazon advantages, and you support TNL at the same time. Face it, some things you just always want to be there. And we have been, on the way to twenty years.

If you have an Amazon wish list, please reply with it below and I will add it to this post. Take the actual number of the wish list, from the URL and paste it at the end of this string, replacing the X's:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/XXXXXXXXXXX

So, for example, here's mine:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wi.../2BLSNH6ECVID4

The reason you have to do it with this extra step is that when you look at your own wish list, it doesn't always show you the number; and when you use the Share button, it gives you a shortened URL that doesn't pass along the TNL referral - but it does have the wish list number.

Now, post some lists and let me buy you something cool. (I'll also have the search function fixed as a "present.") If we get to twenty names with lists by December 21, I will hold a raffle for $120 to the winner. Any questions, just ask.

Is it "dreamed" or "dreamt"? Why don't I know this for sure?

Thanks to Advocate for having that cool HDTV backlight on his list. I didn't even know those things existed, but they're perfect.

Not gonna be able to buy a lot but I'll certainly contribute what I can.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wi.../17UM58UBZPKY7

I think I got that right...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wi.../3SWCCNUM33A13

Bam. Let's jingle this place up.

I've got one, it rules. Keeps you from going completely blind watching TV at night.

Nick, the referral code isn't appearing in the URL when I click the link. Is the referral still happening?

Here's mine! Hopefully, I'll be able to spread some more cheer this season.

Yes. It's handled via a redirect. It should be fine. Thanks for looking out for that and for posting your list.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/XCBO5WCXX1ID

I'll be able to do some stuff after the new year. Better late than never, I suppose.

https://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3PCBLVDH3Z76L

Hope I did that right.

My list, address is looking to be good through early Jan but will be moving then and I doubt I'll be able to get much with the move, but I will be coming back in force next year:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wi.../2LR0KLAQ4B2L8

I think I'd like to participate this year. I'll post a wishlist in a bit. I'm tapped until the 1st, but after I get paid it's on!

BerringerX address isn't coming up on check out.

Chaoo give me your email so I can give you digital goods.

Here is my list that's full of a bunch of stuff. As always, used is perfectly fine for everything.

Slap my dumb user name here before "@gmail.com" to reach me.

Thanks, man!

I've got a steady job this year, yay! Most of mine will go out next Friday after I get paid.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wi.../3CRQVZGGNHJLG

I am in the unique position of doing pretty okay this year, so i sent out some things already. psssst Timber, i think you need to put your gift address in cause it keeps telling me it has to send to my address.

I'll be posting mine in a bit, I have to redo a bunch of things on it that aren't available anymore.

I also have a list on the left for records. I'll work on updating this at work tonight.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wi.../3429V3LUVB0CF

Ship to "Hydra" or "Urbana" if the option presents itself.

Weird, it's set up right on my end under "list settings".

Is there something I'm missing this year?

wrong URL, son!

Was on mobile! Eat dicks!

assholes and their smartphones

Twelve already. I updated the first post with the names in alphabetical order. Some goodies are going out to all of you this coming week.

MechDeus, Mzo, Fe 26: I know where your lists are. You can't hide from me.

All I want for Christmas is you.

I just switched jobs and won't get paid for about a week. Gonna be cutting it real close.

I always get super happy when I see these threads pop up! I really look forward to being able to do much more than I've done in the past. Getting Prime will help, but having a real person job means I can afford good things for you fine folks, moreso after Xmas than before (I already committed to paying ALL the rent this month ;) )

Thanks for posting this thread, otherwise I never would have thought about this. I'm gonna cancel some pre-orders I have and re-order 'em through the link.

I've yet to make an Amazon wish list but I'm going to hook at lest one of you guys up with something :D

Thank you for fixing my shit, Nick.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wi.../1XSKJF2L1VTWW

ugh books and makeup haha

Okay, I think I did this right:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2A8AW5MHVYHNS

Let's get festive, you jaded miscreants.

I'm too broke to really participate, but if any of you are such a weirdo as to want to buy me something knowing full well you won't be getting anything in return, well, here ya go. :P

(And hey, if not, like Nick said, you can at least have a gander and see what terrible taste looks like.)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wi.../2LWW99ZNI8DX6

Buying a house so I'm skipping out this year. Enjoy it!

Thanks a ton plaid, I'm excited to read the book. I had it as low just because I'm in the midst of a handful of books but now I'll def be reading it soon

Thanks Plaid! Just finished the series on Amazon, so can't wait to see the differences in the book.

Also thanks to Rad for Ys.

Thanks for putting my favorite book on my kindle, plaid. In addition to a weirdo, you're a gentleman and a scholar. :)

You're welcome! If you read and enjoyed David Wong's other books, then you should enjoy this one. I didn't think it was as great as John Dies at the End/This Book is Full of Spiders but I attribute that to my preference for horror comedy over sci-fi comedy. It's still a really fun read though.

One day you'll get that Dante's Inferno

I'd love it. The demo was a lot of fun, and I'm really into the feel of it. Pretty much the only game I put major time into this year was Witcher 3, so it'd be a great change of pace.

I'm on my phone now, but I'll update the first post when I get on my home PC.

Thanks to sweet Sats for the beautiful gift. They look even better in person than on screen. Love you, doll.

FYI, if I win the raffle I pledge to use it to purchase gifts for TNL. Anyone else?

Cosigned.

I didn't read the whole thing on the raffle, but I'm with Josh.

If I win I'm keeping it all cuz eff you guys.

No idea what the raffle is but yeah that sounds good.

And thanks for Animal House Sats! One of my favorite movies ever and I'm surprised I didn't own it until now.

I feel like...since you all were great to me last year, and I wasn't able to do much in return, I just want to send stuff this time around.

Edit: annnnnd...sent!

sure thing! I know it was low priority but John Belushi is my dead BFF! I love that movie so much.

Yay, Fables! You made my day, SSJN. Thank you!

Edit: Also lol, that note. I feel like Persona 3 would have been a much longer and WAY funnier game if they'd used razors.

personna, personna!

Thanks for One Punch Man, 'plaid! I've wanted to read this goofy thing for a while now.

You're welcome! I hope it ends up being a fun read!

As with the last few years, I'm thankful enough for the time TNL bailed me out of a dark hole, so I'll refrain from posting my list. Sending out a few things after a catering this weekend.

Much love.

Nick asked soooo

http://amzn.com/w/1PNW1W8IT0D35

Its long. I use the amazon wishlist as a bookmarks for things I want on amazon but don't want to buy at that time.

If you don't feel like digging through it, or think its all dumb, I also take steam moneys or ebay gift codes. I'll probably buy witcher III on steam sale closer to christmas, if you want to help with that.

Also

About fucking time.

Thanks Chao! Been meaning to see what all the fuss is about with these Dark Tower books for a long time.

Thanks magplaid! I've always wanted to try The Order but I never got around to picking it up, now to clear out some harddrive space and fire it up!

THANK YOU FOR THE BUTTHOLE LIPSTICK PLAID!!! I LOLed at your note. I keep all my TNL holiday notes ;_;

more stuff going out today, I'm finally done with finals so I can pay attention to the stuff that really matters!

This guy's now welcoming any bitches near my desk to prime time:

God damn, TNL. You don't mess around when it comes to Christmas.

You're welcome! I really enjoyed The Order a lot, and I think it's one of the most critically underrated games. I hope you have some fun with it!

You're welcome! Everyone should have a little Freddy Krueger in their lives!

Also, thank you so much Chao for the kindle edition of Stephen King's Revival! I've been wanting to read this one for a long time. I'm looking forward to reading it this weekend!

Thanks, Iron, for the Troop Beverly Hills Blu-ray. The "timeless classic" note was a nice touch as well! :) I remember watching this on cable a lot when I was a kid, and I've been wanting to add it to my Blu-ray collection. Now days, the Jenny Lewis connection to this film should be good for a laugh too. This will sit on my shelf right next to the Rodney Dangerfield/Jonathan Brandis "timeless classic" Lady Bugs! :)

I'm going to try getting some more presents out, to those I might have missed, before the holidays are over too. :)

Thanks Mag and Sats for the Ripley and Ultraman Monster Bug Guy, respectively! Also thanks whoever sent me a copy of Gremlins 2: The New Batch!

Thanks to Plaid and Cheeks for Batman MOTP and Team America, respectively.

SATTTTS OMG.
Thanks, Lily and I love it, even if it's "NOT GREAT, BOB"

Here my list :^)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/7L95KM2GMCON

My first batch of gifts went out. Most should be in your possession by the middle of the week. I know Error and Sats are slated to get theirs after Christmas, though.

This is the best thread on the Internet. Thank you all.

I'm just getting into hot tea now, so I don't know a lot about it. I bought a kettle and I'm trying out different teas. I have a desktop hot water maker at work that I use, too. My plan is to grab the nearest cute chick and go tea shopping. I'll update here.

Suggestion for ya: http://www.onsullivan.com/pages/tea-tour

These guys are two doors down from my office and brew FANTASTIC tea. This could help you explore a bit before you jump in the deep (steep?) end of the tea pool.

Thanks for the tip. On my way to tea snobbery (and washboard abs!).

Throw it out. This is all you'll ever need: Teavana Perfect Tea Maker.

Don't you still need the kettle for the hot water?

Um...yeah, keep that kettle. You might need it after all!

He doesn't need a kettle! That's what
