What did you ask for for Christmas?

T2KFreeker · 12/10/2011, 10:45 PM

Yup, that time of the year. Did you ask for anything cool for the Turbo/PCE for Christmas?

I asked for Insanity. Hope I get it. Been wanting to play it!

spenoza · 12/10/2011, 11:10 PM

I want a full-time, professional job for Christmas. That's not PCE related, but it's darn important to me.

allyourblood · 12/10/2011, 11:25 PM

Yeah, I'll take one of those full-time jobs, too. My surveying job is really spotty right now.

But my big "I wanna" that I asked for this year is a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 knife. I hope I get it. As far as video game stuff goes, other than my Secret Santa list, I'm pretty well stocked for a long time.

bartre · 12/10/2011, 11:54 PM

yeah, there was the secret santa thing, but other than that, i never ask for any gaming stuff, as i'm really the only gamer in the family.
that aside, i didn't really have a whole lot to ask for, just some new work shoes.

BigusSchmuck · 12/10/2011, 11:57 PM

I want a raise and a working U.S Duo. Don't think thats too much to ask for ^^

munchiaz · 12/11/2011, 02:59 AM

ive asked for a copy of castlevania: rondo of blood. i hope i get it. Also asked for mario kart 7 and a new hoodie

bartre · 12/11/2011, 03:04 AM

I feel like i should clarify though, I usually don't ask for a lot, as I generally just buy whatever it is that I want, or go without.
I do really want sturmwind, pier solar, gun lord, fast striker, and last hope though...

Isn't pier solar supose to get another run ? I've heard it's supose to but i haven't seen any thing yet.

blueraven · 12/11/2011, 03:51 AM

OBey.

SignOfZeta · 12/11/2011, 04:03 AM

Are you fucking kidding me? I'm 38 years old.

I wouldn't mind some of those Pink Floyd re-issues...

blueraven · 12/11/2011, 04:05 AM

tggodfrey · 12/11/2011, 04:09 AM

Eh most of the PCE stuff I want is too expensive for me to ask for. I ask for the same thing from my family.....take the money you would spend and and pay off your bills.

snickersbar · 12/11/2011, 05:29 AM

i dont know what i want for Christmas lol

PunkCryborg · 12/11/2011, 09:23 AM

I've been hinting at a Vectrex for a while and now there is a large Veccy shaped box under the tree. Hopefully it's not just a huge box full of sweaters and socks....

Senshi · 12/11/2011, 11:24 AM

Lord of the Rings DVD collection with the sweet packaging. Not the Blu-ray.

yeah, it was supposed to happen towards the end of november, but apparently a few things pushed it back a little bit.
still hoping though!
I really don't feel like paying crazy $$$ for the game.

BlueBMW · 12/11/2011, 02:47 PM

My friends and I have been getting back into airsoft so when asked I said I wanted some fancy tactical gear / clothing and some nice boots.

Bernie · 12/11/2011, 03:16 PM

A DSi XL and Dragon Quest IX

esteban · 12/11/2011, 06:00 PM

If only!

I just want more time in the day, really. It would be nice to sleep every now and then, too.

Arkhan Asylum · 12/11/2011, 07:59 PM

Death to all who oppose me.

Lilgrafx · 12/11/2011, 08:37 PM

Me and My big bro usually get each other some games. He's really big into SNES stuff and I like the Turbo so we pick each other up a game or two. I may get a repro cart that Barte is doing.

marktheshark · 12/11/2011, 08:47 PM

KOF '98: Ultimate Match, Castlevania: SOTN, & some Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.

TheClash603 · 12/11/2011, 11:13 PM

I asked my girlfriend for a shotgun, and she refuses to buy one for me... So then I asked for a Gander Mountain gift card

i wouldn't, a regular DS is gonna be a lot cheaper, and it's not like there's been anything groundbreaking on the 3ds.

munchiaz · 12/12/2011, 01:09 AM

^yeah thats true, but there may be. hopefully we will see a new castlevania game on it.

bartre · 12/12/2011, 01:20 AM

castlevania is undoubtedly great, but i haven't really been wowed by any recent titles, y'know?
and personally, i'd rather not buy something on a maybe, hell, the DS still doesn't have anything that's really amazed me

munchiaz · 12/12/2011, 03:15 AM

^ have you played oso tatake ouendan (english version is elite beat agents, but i dont like it to much). Also if you are a shonen jump and smash bros fan jump ultimate stars is right up your alley

bartre · 12/12/2011, 12:27 PM

i played elite beat agents, and yeah it was fun, but it wouldn't justify the system.
i did actually play one of those jump games, it was kinda meh imo.

Quite a few places have recently been selling the 3DS for $170 with a $50 gift card, making them only $20 more than a plain DS and cheaper than a DSi.

T2KFreeker · 12/12/2011, 05:51 PM

I'd ask for a DSi-XL, but I have been for the last two years for Christmas and my Birthday. Never seems to appear. I give up.

Ditto it's crazy how much a used copy for pier solar go's for now.

I rather get a reprint at this point then a used one.

MotherGunner · 12/13/2011, 11:14 AM

I have everything I need. I am thankful and humbled to have a great job, and a great son and wife (with one on the way). I am ensuring they have a blast this Christmas. Actually my wife feels bad because she doesn't work so she doesn't have money to get me anything. I was like hello? (pointing down), there is ALWAYS something nice you can do for me! >=)

A_Locomotive · 12/13/2011, 01:41 PM

I don't need much of anything for Christmas, when asked I drew a huge blank and the only things I could think of where Skyrim and Skyward Sword. Other then that I'm content with all I have, and besides the less thats spent on me is more that can be spent on my niece and nephews.

SKYRIM. Hope for it. Wish for it. Lose 150+ hours of your life to it.

Oh, and MotherGunner:

Windy · 12/14/2011, 12:40 PM

I asked for Mariokart that was about it. I did get my son "cough Cough" a copy of skyward sword.
