Thought i would start the thread early.
Whats on your christmas list this year?
My list is rather simple but i dont ask for much, atleast this year i could think of stuff unlike last year.
My Christmas list:
- Electric Guitar & Amplifier Pack
- Half-Life Platinum Pack
- Half-Life 2 Collectors Edition (Provided it is released)
- Some clothes and some other great little gifts
Simple but all good [:)].
Now lets see if i was naughty or nice.

What kind of guitar are you after? Just starting out? My tip: don?t get anything too pointy [:P] ? Seriously, sound and playability is sooooo much more important then looks. Going for a new or second-hand axe? What size amp are you going for, just a combo (amp + speaker)? Peavey make some great little combo's [:)]
Yeah im just starting out [:p].
Im currently probably going for an Ibanez Starter Pack, they are around $400 new and are apparently pretty good for the price [:)].

Yeah, they do seem pretty good. My first guitar was an Ibanez. They make some beautiful instruments. I dream of getting a Satriani model one day? mmmmm
Something worth considering though is a little digital effects unit instead of a practice amp, like the Pandora. They cost about $250 for the cheaper ones, but you get a multitude of effects, a tuner, a metronome (handy if you want to learn to solo!) and best of all: a phrase trainer ? record a few seconds of music, and play it back over and over and slow it down and everything. Great learning tools, plus you can plug them into your computer for a simple recording studio! Worth looking into anyway [:)] And don?t rule out second hand guitars either ? just make sure someone who knows about guitars checks it out before you buy.
Sorry about the advice, I know you didn?t ask for it [^] It's just cool to see people getting into it.

I have the Half Life 2 ati voucher, so I'm all set for that. Battle for Middle Earth looks awesome, and there's tonnes of games I'd like to try.. that Star Wars Battlefield game, Tribes: Veangeance, Sims 2 etc.. alas, I am a poor Souri T_T
Oh, a new CPU, better gfx card, more ram would also be nice too.. [:D]

Im probably going to wait 6 months and chuck in a new graphics card and perhaps an AMD Athlon XP 3200+, at the moment though, i would say my 9600XT Extreme is letting me down and not performing to what i want. But hopefully in 6 months i can pickup a cheap 9800 XT or FX6800 [:)] for around $300.
speaking of guitars...
i have a cheap ass amp, but this is my guitar...

need to get a new amp soon to compete with the guitar...[:D]
personally im going for a more community aspect. Meeting up with people again and so on. Plus there are some talks that will be of advantage to me, if not just plain interesting.
However i fall into one of the cheapest ticket categorys, if you have to shell out the big bucks and arent sure if its going to be all that benificial to you, then id do a bit more carefull thinking.
uhhhhh i was sorta just answering that question but i realist that sorta pulls the conversation away from the topic so ill try to be a bit more festive *clears throat*

Return of the King Extended Edition then my set will be complete.
Have you seen the preview? It looks pretty awesome!
You can download it here (about 4 meg): [url]http://progressive2.stream.aol.com/newline/gl/newline/lordoftherings/Re… [/url]
Mouth of Sauron, House of healing, Saruman's death, Aragorn looking into the palantiri, witch king confrontation...... oh yeah *drools*
Dont really get presents for chrissy anymore :( Spose if I had to pick, Id say some cold un-feeling cash to put towards my video-editing--effects-rendering-games-destroying rig I need.
Or alterantively someon could just save me the trouble and buy me the whole thing :D. It would fit easily into the Porsche GT3RS that I would also get, which would sit nicely next to my house that I would no longer have to pay rent for.
A bit early isn?t it?

2nd monitor
Grand Turismo 4
Fee?s for next years Art course paid in full [:P]
