[NightrainSrt4]

Probably just a force feedback wheel for the 360.
and maybe a second controller for my girlfriend/friends

[Computer-Geek]

$$$ So I can build a gaming comp + buy some speakers :D

You have a controller for your girlfriend? Does it mute? :p

[Xperiment]

You have a controller for your girlfriend? Does it mute? :p

Now thats a present I would buy for myself :)

[LiTHiUM0XiD3]

a reason to celebrate

[Zephik]

A good party with some good booze and some good lookin' women. Thats all I ask, is it so much?

...Yea, even Santa Clause can't perform miracles. :p

[Crazy Buddhist]

Peace on earth

Ditto.

[Helix666]

For those who are hungry, to be fed;
For those who are lonely, to find a friend;
For those who are oppressed, to be freed;
For those who are cold, to find warmth;
For those who are homeless, to find shelter;
For those who are living in sorrow, to find joy
For equality;
For peace;


I can hope, can't I?
Oh, and a job, and someone who loves me, would be nice...

Hope serves no purpose - but to lead to disappointment. Action makes the difference. A very touching wishlish though. :)

[NightrainSrt4]

You have a controller for your girlfriend? Does it mute? :p

LMAO. No I don't. And to be honest I don't need one. She's cool. She likes video games. Hence project: Alb. She likes them, but not to the point of being geeky.

Playing Halo with her 2 years ago was probably the most fun Ive ever had playing a video game. That and playing Dynasty Warriors with her. She can never have played a video game or anyone like it, and grab the controller and within 15 minutes be whoopin your ass. LMAO. Soo fun.


So ya, an extra controller for whomever I get to play lol.

[rendermandan]

world peace

[killergamer]

I want a life.:think:
And maybe a laptop.

[D1337]

have you considered you may suck at games? Or you play with people that suck?

just a thought..

[Greco101]

Probably won't be having much of a Christmas this year because of my moms identity theft and since my parents are divorced my dad became a cheap ass so I'll probably be getting like 100 bucks lol. I'm turning 19 in March so I guess Christmas should be my last Christmas anyway. :oP

[B1Gtime]

Parts for my new build.

[Luke122]

Hahahah @ D1337

hey.. i just noticed that.. d1337 = delete.

Ok, back to the Christmas list...

Most important:
-A happy and healthy family
-Some snow before Christmas day would be nice for my son's first Christmas. :)
-Something nice for my wife to make her happy. :)
For me:
1. Home audio distribution system w/volume pads for the rooms
2. A small space heater, scroll saw, work bench, and some lighting for my work shed.
3. Some warm winter clothing
4. Guitar Hero 3 for my 360, and a second guitar controller.
5. A remote starter for my truck
6. Some new clothes for work

[Scotty]

Get rid of this god damn cold! Been feeling like crap for 1 whole month now, it's just. Ugh.

TBH, i have no f'ing idea.

[killergamer]

wow I also get about $100 Christmas and small nick nacks.(Maybe not this year. rough year money wise) My dads businesses went under and my grandma retired. so I'm not getting much from them.

For the truth all i care about is people that have nothing get a break and have a good Christmas.


P.S don't jewish get a present a day for 8 days.

[Crimson Sky]

Bringing our troops home for good would be a nice wish.

[noopypoop]

For those who are hungry, to be fed;

Oh, and a job, and someone who loves me, would be nice...
:santa:

And Helix, i thought you acually cared!:D

and even tho im jewish, im probably not guna get any presents this year, which is fine... since my birthday, my bar mitzvah AND Hanuuuka all are close to each other! matter of fact my bar mitzvah is during Hannuka. thats were im gettin all the money for this

[Elenril]

World peace.
The ending of poverty, hunger and epidemics like AIDs.
For everyone to be happy.


An Xbox360.
Assassin's Creed (for xbox if I get an xbox)
Guitar Hero III for wii (if I don't get an xbox)
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (if it ever comes out in Australia)
New mobo
More RAM
New graphics card
Or just a computer upgrade.
New TV (my current one has packed up so I can't play any games on it)
Dremel
Money, basically.

[Drum Thumper]

Bringing our troops home for good would be a nice wish.

Agreed. Short of that, keeping the politicians out of wars so our troops can get the job done both right and quickly would be my wish.

[NightrainSrt4]

have you considered you may suck at games? Or you play with people that suck?

just a thought..

Lmfao. lol. I would like to think I am pretty decent. I normally keep to the higher end of the scoreboards on most games I play. She just keeps right up there though in less time. I guess I could suck, but that would seriously be saying pretty something low about most of the other players lol. :think:

[xRyokenx]

Lemme revise my list:

Happiness
Sanity

i mean seriously think of what you can do with one of those inside a computer. lol. especially with rc car parts. hahaha. hmm, i shouldn't have said that! shhhhhhh...:smoker:

[Commando]

Peace on earth

Yeah tell me about it. I would love some time off.


Hope serves no purpose - but to lead to disappointment. Action makes the difference. A very touching wishlish though.

Hope is never a good course of action.

I knew I hung out here for a good reason. Don't get me talking about politics though....

My Christmas wish is that my wife doesn't realize that my grand scheme is to launder money through eBay to build a new gaming rig. By launder I mean turn my old stuff into new stuff without having to contribute to "we need to get out of debt." All the married folks know what I'm talking about. When I was a kid it was "mom won't let me" to now it's "mom won't let me" pretty confusing huh?:banana:

[khalie]

I want
2x HD 3870
x48 mobo
some Ram
bigger Hdd`s

and happiness for all people

[armadilloben]

x48 is the stupidest chipset to ever be thought of id much rather prefer to buy some aintcient chipset than pay extra money for the exact same chipset as x38 no other advantage other than they were picking the best batches of x38s and calling them x48s that overclock

[Crazy Buddhist]

For christmas I'd like a kiss from the lips of a woman I trust.

[NightrainSrt4]

For christmas I'd like a kiss from the lips of a woman I trust.

Please tell me you don't mean Hilary Clinton? :dead: Lmao jk.


That would be something I would enjoy as well (your meaning, not the joke...god no lmao). This will be my girlfriend and I's first Christmas in the new apartment. Damn, I just realized I have to go Christmas shopping lol.

The girlfriend would love a kitty for Christmas, and I would love to have an animal companion as well. Just when we got the apartment the ad said no pets. On the lease it says you have to get written permission from admin to have a pet. Other people here just have them without asking, but I don't want to risk losing the apartment or anything. I just know it would break her heart to have them say no. She works at a cat adoption clinic for free every saturday, so she can get a cat easily, its just what to do about the apartment situation. Do it without saying anything and no one would know. But theres always that chance. Take a risk, and have them say no, and she'd be down for a month. Arghhhhh lol.

[.Maleficus.]

I skipped all five pages so straight to the wishlist...

8800GT or better
20" monitor or bigger
Better job (BestBuy/GeekSquad hopefully (don't flame me either!))
Some books on programming, maybe C++ or C#

I have pretty much everything I'll want for my PC besides the monitor and 8800GT. It's really too bad that I already received my birthday and Christmas presents. I just like snowboarding too much (I got a season pass to our ski hill and a new snowboard).

[Crazy Buddhist]

Damn, I just realized I have to go Christmas shopping lol.

You better or JESUS WILL KILL YOU.

No. Are you looking at the new ATi stuff too?

EDIT: Just looked, lol. Yep, you are. :p

[Luke122]

I just got part of my Christmas gift last night!

I landed myself a Canon 5D (http://canon.ca/english/index-products.asp?lng=en&prodid=843&sgid=23&gid=2&ovr=1)! w000000000000t!!!!

All ye who know cameras.. commence drooling. ;)

[.Maleficus.]

Jesus! Who bought you that and what's their number?

[Luke122]

A client of mine actually.. and he didnt buy it for me, he gave it to me for Cost -20%, and I'm just working it off. :)

He used to sell high end SLR's in his store, but after he was bought out, he decided to stick with point-shoot cameras instead, so he is blowing out all his stuff. Just in time for Christmas too!

8 more hours of work, and this camera is 100% paid off! Next, flash, some new glass, couple lights, Manfrotto ballhead/tripod combo....

[Crazy Buddhist]

I'm wondering about taking a last minute holiday somewhere hot like Goa in India for Christmas.

:smoker:

Spent £100/$200 on computer bits today. Got myself a few finishing items for Deskpooter: fan grills, filters, northbridge cooler (Thermaltake Extreme Spirit):

http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Cooler/VGAnCHIPnMEM/cl-c0034/+034_image/slide0019_image018.gif (http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Cooler/VGAnCHIPnMEM/cl-c0034/cl-c0034.asp)

Bought a Soundgraph iMon Ultrabay for a mate for christmas. Can't wait for that lot to arrive.

:smoker:

[The boy 4rm oz]

That cooler is great man. I am using one right now on my 680i LT northbridge.

I got my prezzie a few days back. A new mobile phone YAY. Nokia 6300 ftw.

[Crazy Buddhist]

That cooler is great man. I am using one right now on my 680i LT northbridge.

Cheers - good to know.

It arrived this morning. I am soooo looking forward to getting the Stock one off the Mobo as it is the only fan I can hear from my machine (which also houses 1 x 92mm Noctua near silent 1 x 120mm Noctua near silent (+1 more coming) and 1 x 92mm Zalman near silent). Once this thing is in I won't be able to hear the computer at all :)

Also it came with an additional and unexpected bonus. The company I bought it from screwed up the order process totally. Speaking with them on the phone to resolve this it turns out they are re-positioning themselves to be the biggest supplier for modders in the UK.

After half an hour on the phone they now want to sponsor my future modding projects and said if there is anything I want just let them know.

Now that is what I call a modders Christmas paradise of a present.

:D

[The boy 4rm oz]

That's great mate. I need a sponsor lol.

[OhSnapIt'sLuna]

What I want, I can't write on here without fear of being deleted.

Besides that, a new CPU would be nice.

And maybe a new cooling system.

[Crazy Buddhist]

What I want, I can't write on here without fear of being deleted.

Well throw it in a PM and I'll let Santa know :)

[Scotty]

Nice CB, what company is that?

[OhSnapIt'sLuna]

Well throw it in a PM and I'll let Santa know :)

Yeah...
or...
not.

[Raz1r]

A HardSID.......

I don't even care if it's a Quattro or not, I want one of those cards soooo bad.

[Crazy Buddhist]

Nice CB, what company is that?

Now that would be telling. You may see in time ... watch this space: []
