Well, this is my first posting on here, so I hope its a good one.... seeing how it's Christmas season and all.

Seeing how its my posting, i should start it off...
On my Christmas wish list it would be cool to get Fable for the XBOX, as well as King Arthur for the XBOX as well, a friend of mine has fable for the xbox, he says its great, I have yet to try it though. I hear the reviews for King arthur are mixed, but I'd like to try it still.... thanks for taking the time to answer this posting.
Have fun

gamert, don't listen to Jimmy, Listen to me... Lean in close to the screen... No.. Closer, not that close! A little closer... Good. No hear.. or read what I have to say.

You must come to the side of the cats... Come with me and my minions!!! I have millions of cats waiting for my command to attack... The UK has been attacked overnight, and is now MINE. We have the US, Canada, and now the UK and "That Other Place"......

Lets hope we don't have to get rid of another one now... Or else we may have to take Mecixo...

I want a Sony HS50 LCD projector. Or HS51 if you are in the US. Tis nice.

No-one will stump up the cash, so will probably leave it to myself for a Mitsubishi Evo 8 MR FQ-340. Or possibly a FQ-400 if I have too much to drink. Heh, the 400 out accelerated a Zonda in one magazine - 3.5 secs 0-60, and it has 4 doors (still get to keep work car allowance every month).

Oh, and my parent's are going to get me an Xbox as they couldn't think what else to get me. Never bothered over the years cos I had the rest, but might as well finish off the set. Plus you cannot get Midtown madness 3 on the other consoles or even the PC (loved the 1st one).

Apart from that, I love suprises. So post me a cat.

Cheers

Here's the wish list I just printed out for the family.



I removed the music section because no-one here would appreciate it


Of course, surprise presents are sometimes the best .

I also wouldn't mind Jimmy's hands in a freezer bag. You know, so he can't type anymore

I'm afraid if you have 'odd tastes' you'll just be disappointed. It's mostly country music .

Well, I didn't want to ask for anything this year, but my parents insisted, so all I'm asking for this year is the following:

R.A. Salvatores Demon Apostle
R.A. Salvatores Hunters Blades Trilogy Book 3 - The Two Swords

That's it. Two books is enough for me.

Cheers,

I have sinned.

I recommend The Essential Billy Joel. Ton of cool songs, plus some of his newer classical+jazz influence piano compositions at the tail end of the second disk.
Has all the usuals:
Piano Man
NY State of Mind
Lights Went Out On Broadway
Uptown Girl
Baby Grand

and so many others.

Yeah, Billy Joel is great. Did you know 'Piano Man' was actually about himself? He changed his name to 'Bill Martin' and started secretly playing the piano at bars because he owed the government too much in tax.

You know who I pray to? Joe Pesci. He looks like a guy who can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn't **** around. In fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple of things that god was having trouble with.

I´ve asked for more ram-you can never have too much!
Though I wouldn´t mind dual pad support and pixel perfect collision for DGSDK.
I see alot of people like country music. I better not mention my tastes in music as it might go the same way as the chat room. How can anyone hate break beat and techno?

lol, that reminds me of when we got a 10 GB Hard Drive for a old computer that already had a 1 GB HD...

we installed it (and left the 1GB one in there) and the computer couldn't comprehend a HardDrive bigger then 2GB...so it split it into 5 different drives! so along with the 1GB one we had 6 HDs!!

so dad said we could have a whole Hard Drive just for games
and now my Indiana Jones game would take up %70 of that space...(1.4GB out of 2)

I remember work experience back in, oh, 1989 or so, and they had a 386 (or something like that) with a 256mb (MB!!!!!) hard drive. We were totally gobsmacked by the sheer size of it. Infact they used a partition for everyone in the department. Which basically added up to just about every letter in the alphabet. Tops. Oh, and they had Lotus 123 installed on *every* partition. Open the cupboard next to it... yes, there is like 20 full versions of Lotus 123. They basically found it was cheaper to buy X copies than to get X licences. And their system admin bloke was a moron who just installed a copy for every individual on each partition. I pointed out the stupidity of this (considering it was the *only* PC with a copy of Lotus 123 in the entire department), but they basically laughed and said they had so much storage space it didn't matter. Lotus 123 was less than a meg if I remember rightly. Heh, I have a 1Gb SD card in my PDA. And it cost me around £60. Their machine was half of their budget. Good olde hindsight...

Quite easily. It's so repetitive, the only ppl who can tolerate it are the ones with acid seeping into their brains.

I asked for the 10dvd Matrix collection. I don't have any of them on DVD, only the first one on vhs. I do have the animatrix though.
Also asked for 2 months of cello lessons.(basically asking for $120)
new ceramic heads for my car, but I doubt I'll be getting those. That's all really. Oh, and for the cable bill to get paid so my internet at home can get turned back on.
