All I want for Christmas thread 2009

[mlee49]

So with all the shopping goings ons now, I'm sure we all know what we want for the upcomming holiday. So post up your top few choices. :)

For me it's a USB Record player for $80. Rip record tracks to mp3 format :D How cool is that! I've got a stack of vinyl that includes two Beatles albums, multiple Hendrix, and a couple various rock albums from the 60's. :D

So aside from your 2 front teeth, what do you want?????

[Black Panther]

(to be sung in same melody as "on the first day of xmas my true love sent to me.....") :D

"What I want for this Christmas - a brand new PSU
Must be Corsair, 'eight five oh' Watts...
And mo-du-lar too...

What I want for this Christmas is a Radeon card,
A 'five....nine.... se--ven.. oh'...
Just to game myself right out..........."

What's sad is that I'll end up buying them for myself, because none of my friends and family are knowledgeable on computer hardware. http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/sad/crying.gif

[JC316]

I already know what I got. It's a PS3 Slim. I know because I am the one that bought it back on August 30th when it first came out. My sister took a gamble that it would skyrocket on Ebay, which it did, but only during the debut, so I told my parents to keep it for me for Christmas.

Otherwise, I want Metal Gear Solid 4 and Resistance. I also want L4D2 for the PC.

[momentomoir]

So aside from your 2 front teeth, what do you want?????Dude, get a real turntable, a phono preamp, and line-in to your computer and record in FLAC @ 96Khz/24bit. Anything less doesn't come close to capturing the feel of vinyl.

That is what I do. Works really well.

[Wile E]

That is what I do. Works really well.

Yep. mp3's of vinyl just doesn't cut it.

[sheps999]

Yep. mp3's of vinyl just doesn't cut it.

I think that'd be sacrilege.

What do I want for Christmas? Well, a new PC, but that's upwards of £700, so maybe not.

[DonInKansas]

I want i5 for Christmas.

I'll get a tie for Christmas.

[Soylent Joe]

This is the only thing I asked for:

http://www.be-mine.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/PlayStation-3-Slim.jpg

Will most likely end up getting a random assortment of clothes, food, and watches though.

[Wile E]

Watches can be nice. That happens to be one of the things I like to buy/collect. I have a couple Citizen chronograph watches, one of which is an Eco-Drive. A nice Invicta chrono, A couple Fossil's, and am working on grabbing a Movado.

[FreedomEclipse]

this christmas Ive got 4x1Tb Samsung F3 spinpoints & 1 5870 lined up......but obviously sacrifices will have to be made incase I dont reach that target - so I will probably end up settling for 2xF3 spinpoint drives.

Selling my 2 4870's for around £80-100 a peice should net me a nice cash injection towards 1 5870, or even 2 5870's depending how big my Xmas bonus is

[Cuzza]

I'm so fed up with the rampant commercialism of Christmas that what I actually want is the balls to go back to church. I haven't been in about 18 years.

EDIT: And a Dremel.

[momentomoir]

My dad has a perpetual motion Citizen watch. He doesn't wear it enough for the "perpetual" bit to work though. :rolleyes:


Me, I want Windows 7 Professional x64 Edition. But I don't want it now because that would create work for me. :( So... perhaps I want a computer virus and Windows 7 Professional x64 Edition for Christmas. Oh the irony. XD

Try pot instead of your adhd meds. It mellowed me out pretty well. Of course I got the munchies real bad and gained a few pounds. That and everything's funny, really funny.

However upon further reading of your wishes, the marijuana may interfere with you being a better person and getting things done period.

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

i dont think she'd look bad with a few more pounds

[MT Alex]

But I don't want it now because that would create work for me...

I know what you mean. I have a brand new WD640 sitting here, but I don't want to take the time to reinstall everything. When you have a lot of STEAM games it is a real chore.

(In my Steve Martin voice: ) I'd like nothing more than peace and everlasting joy in the world. Oh, yah, and a new 5850.
OK, I'd like nothing more than peace and everlasting joy in the world, and a new 5850. Oh, yah, and a new ATX mobo.
OK, so I'd like nothing more than peace and everlasting joy in the world, a new 5850 and a new ATX mobo. Oh, yah, and a full 30 days set aside for a continuous orgasm.

Ok, so what I'd really like is nothing more than peace and everlasting joy in the world, a new 5850, a new ATX mobo and a full 30 days set aside for a continuous orgasm. Oh, yah...

[jmcslob]

Win7 pro 64 is like Vista 64 Slim an Fit...
It took me 2 hours to transfer 300gb from Vista (WINDOWS OLD) and I still have Vista on a partition... Acronis rules.....Windows 7pro ISO backup drools..

And all i want for Christmas is for Everyone to be happy (@least in my house)
and maybe an ounce of Afghani Skunk.....or an ounce of Northern Lights

Step one - quit letting your faults/mistake bring you down and lower your self-esteem. If you don't become more confident, you will never, ever be able to overcome your problems.

I'm bipolar, and I haven't been on meds for a decade, because I quit being so hard on myself, and took the initiative to learn better ways to combat my illness.

Just start hyping yourself up in your mind. There is stuff you are good at, focus on those attributes, and use them to hype yourself up for your next task.

And one of the biggest things I've learned in life is, it is impossible to make everyone around you happy, if you can't be happy with yourself.

Well giving up sure as hell isn't getting you anywhere, now is it? lol

And I don't buy it, you're a good people-person, for instance.

It takes presence of mind and experience. Just need to think things through.
Things like if i do this what could it lead to.
Also learning from others, like questioning them why they reacted in a certain way to a particular situation.
To get things done right takes a lot of patience.
As for reviews you can start blogging. Lots of free sites.

What the fuck?
I get an email from my mother with this link (http://www.topfarmvillefarmer.com/indexgooglebanner.php?kw=farmville%20strategy&adgroup=farmville) and "THIS IS WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS" under the link.

Holy fuck what the fuck man? The awesomely extreme weirdness of this farmvill strategy guide crap actually outweighs my incredibly high level of annoyance spawned upon reading "THIS IS WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS", feeling a very demanding tone attatched to it.

Just to clarify, I don't want to pass the message that I'm a stingy bastard, but rather that this somehow this gives me the feeling of something crawling around under the skin of my lower back, almost like there's some sort of force wrapped around my kidneys and squeezing them—not painful, but a weird, 6th sense kind of feeling you get when you feel the presense of one near you that you don't actually see or hear.

[pbmaster]

Woah, your mom needs to lay off the facebook mang

[Magibeg]

Yep. mp3's of vinyl just doesn't cut it.

Does it keep the nice organic feel when it makes its way to digital?

buy her pack of seeds and some potting mix :)

[Wile E]

Does it keep the nice organic feel when it makes its way to digital?

If you put it to 24bit 96Khz FLAC, it keeps a surprising amount of the feel. But 24bit 96k is a much larger file than the typical CD quality 16bit 44.1k, so that's to be expected. I'm a purist when it comes to vinyl, and I find those flac rips to be wonderful.

Do you like Pearl Jam?

Of course, I'm a big fan of music. Been playing guitar for about 15 years and will listen to basically anything (not so much country and rap). Although I'm a big tech buff I love the organic sound and feel of tube amps and vinyl.

You'll have a PM incoming in a few minutes then.

[MT Alex]

Mmmm, Pearl Jam.(toast)

She does... for a number of very good reasons.

I'll get her a cat grass kit and tell her to farm that. Of course, I'll get her this stupid guide thing cause I really have no other choice unless I want to look like more of an asshole, but I'll hide it from her and bring it out when she gets pissed at me for getting her cat grass.

Classic stuff. lol

That reminds me of when I was a kid, my mom bought my brother and I nintendo. It was a joint gift for all of us, but she put it in his name so we all had the same amount of stuff to open.

He unwrapped it, and there stood the gleaming Nintendo box. He opened the box, pulled out the Styrofoam, opened it, and found a lump of coal staring him in the face. One of the most priceless and memorable moments in our lives. I'll never forget the look of sheer disappointment moments before his father handed him the actual Nintendo hidden behind the couch. lol

[mlee49]

Thats F-ing cold. Anyone ever swaps my Nintendo will have very generous repercussions.
