Jesus christ, if you get even half of that I'm gonna think you're an arsehole...
Why would you ask for $2000 to build a computer then ask for a graphics card aswell?

[Toasty]

I probably won't even get one of that. MAYBE a Wii and MAYBE one or two of the wii games.

The graphics card is only if I don't get the 2K, which I know I won't get. But I also know I probably won't get the graphics card.

And there is no way in HELL hat I'd ever get a Koenigsegg CCR/X for christmas.

[Lemontime]

Or a Veyron, Or a Lambo, or a GT.
Not even a pie O_O

[Aquamarine]

I never ask for a lot of things, only the stuff I most want. My Mum's left for England about an hour ago, so she'll be buying these things there:

Super Mario Galaxy(=D)
Clothes

Those are the only two things I've asked for. I told her to get some more Wii stuff, but I won't be using them now if she gets 'em. Those include:

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Endless Ocean
WiiMote with Wii Play
Nunchuk attachment

I would have asked for Radiant Dawn and Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 also, but they haven't been released in Europe yet...

You mean Gallardo Nera? Or Gallardo Superleggera?

Bugatti> Koenigsegg




Nvidia Geforce 8600GT for £60

Sucks to be american, toasty.

[Toasty]

Dang economy.....Should've exchanged my USD for euros. Or pounds.

And it's the Lamborghini Reventon. But the Gallardo GT3 and Murcielago GTR are awesome too.

But this one, is BEAUTIFUL.

[Moonear]

I didn't ask for anything but I got :

Super Mario galaxy
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games
$115
sweatshirt
awesome food

A decent car ( not the hundreds of thousand dollar cars in this thread) would be good in 3-4 years

[Someone Else]

Wait... you already got your presents, or did you snoop around and find them?

I'm getting a air hockey table and some other stuff that I don't know yet.

[Blue]

My iPod touch was all I really wanted, and now I have it.

[Toasty]

My sister's getting one of those for christmas. All I know is that whatever I'm getting lacks color. Which means it's White (possibly a Wii), Black, or clear.

I'd like to have at least $700 to build my own PC though.

[Saturos S.]

I'm getting a pool table for in my game's room.

You're in for a treat, that game is phenomenal. Just got it myself today, and trust me, it blows away anything you've ever seen in a video game.

[Toasty]

Played the demo at EB Games. It sucks balls is FREAKING AWESOME. SO much fun. I'd kill for it. Metaphorically speaking.

[Lemontime]

Yeah, Mario Galaxy is wicked fun.
Definitely the best Mario game I've ever played..

SHUT UP, SHUT UP!! All I need is to listen to you telling me how great it is. Like I'm not already dying to play it... I can't wait 9 more darn days!

[Caael]

My little bro got it as well. It's actually pretty cool, even though I was only the second player

Spoiler

shooting the mini star things he collected, making him jump at the wrong time and generally making things difficult for him

I would probably play it more if I didnt have my 360 and my awesome games.

Bioshock tomorrow, I will not play it at midnight. Alone. Downstairs. In the dark. Srsly, I crapped myself when it was getting dark. It's forking creepy man.

I'm not impressed by Galaxy yet, it looks great (visuals) but it's just another Mario saving Peach and defeating Bowser using magical stars game.

watch was obviously expecting some complicated plot from Galaxy. It's Mario, it shouldn't have a story other than the one you said.

Crysis> Mario Galaxy

Why's there only 3 bars of health now? In sunshine and 64 there were 8. Why the decrease?

[Nosferatu]

Probably challenge. Plus getting the Life Mushrooms somehow feels rewarding.

[Lemontime]

You can get power ups that up your health to 6, but if it drops below 4 it goes back to 3.
Sorry if that was hard to understand, or a spoiler..

[Caael]

Yeah, makes sense. So if you get the powerup, and get hit 2 times without healing, it goes back to 3.

[My Best Wishes]

Dude of Wind, on Dec 26 2007, 03:16 PM, said:

A couple of hours yea, I've had it for awhile now, I'm just not impressed. Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Galaxy, they're no good. Bring back old school Nes and Snes Mario!

3 times. If you get the powerup, it increases to 6. After you've taken three hits, which would put you at three health, then you can go back to six.

Well of course you would say that. Indeed Crysis> Mario Galaxy in terms of graphics.

Yeah, he got the powerup today. Its a mushroom.

And also gameplay. Theres something about galaxy which makes me not want to play it. I dont know why, i'm fine watching, but I wouldnt want to play it. Dunno why.

At the risk of being blasphemy'd by laharl the graphics in Crsis actually adds to the gameplay. There's more to it than eyecandy. I've fought tanks and helicopters in other FPS, but it feels new in Crysis and gives an adrenaline rush that older FPS can't because the graphics are so darn immersive! And even if you take the eyecandy away, Crysis is still better than other FPS. If there's an FPS that already exists that isn't Crysis that has almost fully destructable enviroments, on-the-fly weapon customization, and special abilities, please point me in the direction.

I'm not really comparing Crysis to SMG, just felt like saying it.

[My Best Wishes]

I was amazed at the amount of damage you could cause to your enviroment in Black. Does that come close because I love Black.

And Crysis is realistic. Unlike most shooters where one guy can wipe out hordes or enemies with one gun, in Crysis, if you run up to the enemy base guns blazing, you will die. And yeah, you actually feel emotion for the people you've killed because they're so like real people. They're not mindless drones, they have great AI and will run from grenades, if you go to stealth mode, they will shoot where they saw you last, they'll go searching for you. Its awesome.

[Someone Else]

Hmm, I never felt bad about shooting the Koreans in the face. Maybe it's because they call me "Yankee coward" and say things like "Die like a ****ing dog!"... maybe you don't take as much offense since you're not American. ^_^

[Drizzy Drake]

I wish they would make a FPS game where insted of being American (or Britain in some cases), you are from like China or Iraq or Afganistan and invade the US. I'd always like killing Bush.


Oh and all you Americans don't hate, I don't dislike America. I just can't stand Bush.

[Toasty]

He just isn't a good public speaker. That's his only real flaw. And you can't blame hom for ALL the bad things America does, because the congress has more influence on that then he does. And might I point out, congress is full of liberals right now.

ANYWAY.

I got my Wii today. Funny thing though, when we were on our way home from the movies, I asked to stop by Gamestop to pick up a Wii game, and so we did. While I was picking out my game, my dad picked up the Wii. He put it under his arm, walked out of the store with it, and when we got home, he stuck it on a chair in the kitchen. Even after I got home, and walked past it a few times, even looking nearly straight at it, I didn't even notice it was there until he pointed it out. XD That was my blonde moment for the day.

So yeah, SMG is pretty fun, but I'm already starting to get a little board. Might put CoD3 in there.

Yeah... liberals aren't that bad. The conservatives that say "they're going to ruin our democracy and... our... cheeseburgers!!!" can go die. I agree with some democratic/liberal ideas, and I agree with some republican ideas but w/e.

Yeah I do feel kinda bad when I "strangle" them but what can ya do?

[Eugine]

I honestly prefer the conservatives in USA, I just dislike Mr. Bush and his neoconservative policies. The Caribbean looovvess the democrats though cuz they believe its the party for African Americans. It's more like the make "African Americans More Lazy" party imo, lol.

No.

And there are (few) things I agree with that liberals say/do, but they're also try to pass a law that lets the government put any ideas that anyone's currently trying to patent up on the internet. That would mean that anyone can just go online, look at some of the ideas, and go and bribe someone at the patent office to get it through the system faster. Heck, sometimes you probably wouldn't even have to bribe. To me, that's just wrong and sickening. Especially since I'd like to be an inventor some day.

The main reason why I dislike liberals though, is because they want to make everything easier for the 'less fortunate' people. The only thing is, is that more than half the time, those less fortunate people are less fortunate, because they're lazy. Many over weight Americans can, and do, get disability money from the government. Thanks to the liberals. I used to be friends with a kid back in Florida whose two parents lived off of that. They could easily have had a deskjob. They had enough energy to go out and buy a pizza practically every day, and I know for a fact that there wasn't anything else wrong with them, so either one could have easily gotten a desk job. And by the way, he was a brat, and his parents were jerks. And for the record, I don't know which party they were for, so that's not biased.

[My Best Wishes]

Another Political debate, fark.

Let's settle this for all Americans, PEOPLE DON'T LIKE BUSH. GET OVER IT!

[Eugine]

You'd be surprised to know some American still support Bush *cough* Toasty ^^

And political debates are fun x3. It's good to do it on the net, so you don't sound like a fool in real life ^^ (you get practice ^^). Too bad we don't have a diversified crowd here, cuz I love politics (I follow world politics XD)

[My Best Wishes]

And I agree with all that, but after this many years of bashing Bush, and several years of meeting overly patriotic Americans online, I'm really over it...

[Eugine]

haha, I guess.
But then, most are just being defensive. After all, if someone bashed Mr. Rudd, you'll be on the defensive too right?

[My Best Wishes]

I'd join in with them, my whole family (and I would have if I was 18) voted for Liberal (John Howard), I feel Rudd and his party (labour) are dangerous and could damage Australia in the long term (Then Liberal will be re-elected and fix it, just like last time Labour was in power)

I'd defend Australia, but I dislike Rudd and I didn't like Howard so I feel no obligation.

[Nosferatu]

Ya know, after knowing that Hillary Clinton is running for (insert whatever title here), I almost support you guys having Bush as a president. For the day H. Clinton is elected for ANYTHING in the U.S., gamers will cry.
