Poll: What are You Asking for Christmas?

[Wes1180]

I could post it, but I'm afraid I'd just be flamed/criticized/laughed at... [sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub]Is mutual love so much to ask for? [/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub]

Well, I guess money also would be nice though... (What? I got bills to pay, along with a student loan >_>)

Metro 2034

I really wish they would put that one out in English, too.

OT: In short, video games and death metal. There isn't really much else...

Last I heard it was already published in English?

I've only heard in Russian, possibly German too. Metro 2033 was just published in English in the past 4-5 months maybe? I have an English copy of it, and the prices were from the UK... I don't think it is out here in the US yet, and no clue about the rest of the world...

My copy of Metro 2033, that's in Swedish, was released like a year or so ago. So it seems weird that it'd only recently have been released in English. It even said in my Swedish copy of it that the sequel, Metro 2034, was going to be released "here" by 2010.

Hmm, hopefully it will be. I'm a little over half way through 2033 now and it is incredible.

I think the best part of the book is the second half, from Polis and onwards. The ending will, unless someone's already spoiled it for you, completely baffle you.

Just got to the "Polis" chapter, actually... lol. But nope, only thing I've heard about the ending is that in the game there are two different endings and the book was a combination of both of them, but that is all I know. I even stopped playing the game so it wouldn't spoil the book at all.

The new Xbox 360 and Black Ops.

I've seriously thought about getting Metro 2033, but I'm on the fence. I'm a sucker for all things Russia, but the reviews leave something to be desired. Nevertheless, the game seems to have a cult following, and perhaps I'd be a welcome member. Hmm... <__<

I was on the fence too. It was on sale on steam recently, so I picked it up.
Hop off that fence and get yourself that game, my friend. I thought it was a great, and highly enjoyable game. The atmosphere particularly was brilliant. Liked it so much I went out and bought the book.

On topic, I asked for a violin for Christmas, woohoo!

I think I'll take your advice. How's the book?

Haven't had time to start it yet. I'll keep you posted though!

-edit- Double post, apologies.

A punk-style biker jacket, and blazblue continuum shift. And maybe a few monies, perhaps?

My parents are awesome this year and letting me ask for a fuckload of stuff. Not sure why, but I'm not exactly complaining:

Just to clarify, have they said you're actually getting you the things you ask for? If not, could be a little disappointing. For example, I've asked for a private island every year (including this one, I'm now 23) since I was 7 and still haven't got one.

They generally give me a warning beforehand if I'm not gonna get everything I asked for. Or just tell me flat-out that I'm asking for too much. Neither of those things have come up yet.

And, to be fair, you can't actually expect someone to get you a private island for Christmas. Just sayin'.

Ah fair enough, going to be a good one for you then!

I know I can't expect it, though the saying 'don't ask, don't get' exists for a reason. One day my family may surprise me with a small tropical paradise somewhere as a reward for my persistence over the years. Alternatively, socks.

This is true. Besides, maybe you could use the socks you get to make a hammock once you get your private island!

 

[Agayek]

Considering I don't particularly like getting gifts, I don't ask for anything usually.

Halo Reach figurnies
Halo Wars
Halo 3 ODST (Just for the achievments and it can't be bad enough to not justify a 20 dollar pricetag)
Red Dead Redemption
Fallout New Vegas
Black Ops
Money

Thank you!
One other question...how did you acquire it? Online?

 

[tombman888]

2: Don't remeber the books name but it was something like "The Dragon riders/Tamers" by Robin Hobb
3: Some Warhammer 40K peices (yes, yesterday i got into tabletop gaming)
4: Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
5: Money

and thus i shall be set.

 

[Outright Villainy]

The cheapest phone I can find.
I don't want a touch screen either.

Touch screen phones suck ass.

 

[CJMacM]

There are some books I want, a pocket watch and probably some dvds.

 

[duckfi8]

a PS3 :/

 

[Turbo_Destructor]

I really want a wah pedal for my guitar - a proper Dunlop Crybaby

 

[ThreeDogsToaster]

I'm gonna ask for a Fender Jazzmaster, like I do every year. I've got a feeling this is gonna be the year I get one!

[small]...I'll probably get socks[/small]

Fender Jazzmaster, eh?
I'd give you mine, except I love it too much. Good luck.

Yeah, I would probably sleep with mine if I had one. It and the Jaguar are easily the nicest looking guitars ever made, makes me wonder why people go mad for Strat's and Tele's

Gibson FTW
