I'm buying everyone else electronics or books. (buying my mom the entire Dark Tower series in hardback ... not cheap smiley )

One of my friends told me he'd buy me MGS3 ... I said ok
I'll pretty much get DVDs and Games, which is fine by me. [addsig]

I am not celebrating Christmas this year.

you really don't WANT anything? Then again, I guess if you have a big family, the aggregate profits of not buying for them all outweigh the net gains of present-recieving.

Argh! This is what's wrong with the world today, when celebrating Christmas is associated with wanting things!

And I'm just getting a bunch of money in all probability, I don't bother asking for anything anymore... apparently I'm supposed to add what I'll be buying, thus the answer is largely clothing, I need some good new t-shirts.

I ask for things but nobody ever wants to buy them, they prefer to give me the money. I'll probably buy a few CDs, some clothes, thinking about getting an acoustic guitar, but also need a better amp and a better electric, so will need to prioritise (can only afford one of the three).

i dont personally celebrate christmas (though my family does), i celebrate x-mas or annual gift day. so, for annual gift day, i will be getting 1GB(512x2) of corsair xms xtra-low latency pc3200 (its hella fast) and a new heatsink and fan for my processor, both for overclocking i know this is waht i will be getting, because my dad told me to send him the links on newegg via email.

btw, annual gift day may sound materialistic and selfish, but its more of my satirical way of pointing out what the holiday has become. i have come to appreciate the family/friends aspect more. though presents are pretty cool.

You're search has ended:

Acoustic

Electric

BVS, honestly, I really love christmas day because it's one of the only days my family gets along and everyone is in a good mood and there's good vibes goin' around. The stresses of the day before or after disappear and such.

And that has nothing to do with presents. [addsig]

you must admit though, *crono*, that way too many people stress way too much over the materialistic things. that is just my observation. honestly, this opinion is due to the people i know(mainly family, like a few uncles/aunts, and a few family friends). but i agree that it does tend to make everyone put aside their differences for the most part, and that is really the most enjoyable part(also people you dont see often coming to visit).

good taste in guitars, btw.

/edit
but you have to admit, its heart warming to see the smiles on kids faces when they get that toy they asked santa for!

/edit
fixed, my bad

Are you talking to me, BVS? I'm not 42. Or fascinated by fecal jokes.

I don't have a Les Paul electric, but I really want one. I suggest Epiphone because it's the same quality without all the heavy ass gold and platinum. I do however, have an Ibanez AW100 Acoustic. I love that guitar, it sounds terrific, not to expensive either, mine cost about $137 ? $160 (US) or so. [addsig]

I never understood what on earth the point is in having so many fretts on an acoustic with no cutaway? There doesn't seem to be any sensible way of using them...

I would be satisfied if i had enough computer parts to make all the PC's i need to make before Christmas.

so far, i got one functional 300 from tracer *does jig* and 5 semi-functional 400's (minus the HD's) from a local bank.

all i need now is a couple HD's and some sound cards and i will have a 1/2 dozen PC's

my joys have changed since i got older.. giving is much more fun than getting.. i tend to buy whatever i want throughout the year.. i seldom wait for Christmas.

notice, i completely let this slide without any retorts

The only reason I suggested that one and not one with the cut away is because it sounds 100 times better. Not to mention anything above fret 20 on an acoustic does not sound good. Don't bitch. There are trade offs that make it worth it. If you want to stick to the upper frets more use an electric. [addsig]

Let's see... games... games... games... the new PS2 and then more games for that... Hope to get money for a the logitech mx wireless keyboard/mouse combo (already have an mx1000, but can then put the new mouse on my notebook)... and money for that NEC DVD-RW drive. Silver, of course. Gotta start putting this new video camera to good use...

Then a -lot- of books. Game development books, a level design book (beginner level, but useful for comparing notes), stuff like Raising the bar, a book discussing theories on screenwriting applications in interactive entertainment (something I hope to branch into a bit more in the future if possible), and general modern architecture/skyscraper picture books and stuff for reference and research. I've also decided to start adding strategy guides for games to my list. I never use them to play the game, but the extra info, artwork, and particularly map layouts and outlines are a huge research tool. Getting the Half-Life 2 book with the steam gold package was incredibly smart...

Dunno how much of this I'll get, so I'll try not to get my hopes up, but got quite a few goodies in mind.

I've always liked to give as many options as possible to family, not because I'm greedy and expect all of them, but just because I hate getting like 3-4 ideas for a person and then competing with more people than that for getting it.

Ooh! I hope my Raven clothing order comes in time for xmas, too... especially since there's a few family christmas gifts in there, too [addsig]

Andrew, if its permitted, i would like to see you in your official raven attire, have someone take a picture of you with the raven software logo on you. [addsig]

(Orph wants proof that you didn't make this whole 'Raven' thing up )

Crono, my point is still the same. What is the point in those fretts being there at all when you can't reach them, and if you could, they don't sound good. I wasn't trying to have a go at your guitar...

Somebody please edit that URL so it doesn't make the topic stupidly wide? And I'm not interested in anybody saying 'it's fine on my 1,000,000,000*1,000,000,000 monitor', either
