List of ungifted wishlists and instructions: http://pastebin.com/2R25RyGY
So share your list, join in some holiday story times and above all else be Merry.
Please only post your list once per thread, no begging, and keep it friendly.
Previous thread >>77897832
Alright Anons put a $5 or less item on your lists, the why will become obvious soon
Once more, with feeling:
For those of you who weren't here the last couple of years, I did various Christmas contests and would gift someone who I arbitrarily chose as the winner. I intend to keep that tradition alive this year.
I decided to get started with a (relatively) big challenge: Write a Christmas story featuring /co/ characters. Maybe Lex Luthor decides he hates Santa because he challenges human superiority. Maybe the Flash has to sub in for Santa one night and deliver presents around the world (has that been done? That must have been done before). It doesn't have to be long, just something short and simple, but the more Christmas special-y the better. If you're a drawfag and want to draw it out instead, that's fine too.
Send your submissions to [email protected]. Or you can post them in the thread, but just make sure I see them. I'll give everyone until Sunday afternoon to put something together, so don't feel rushed. At the end I'll share them with the thread and crown a winner. Make sure to include your wishlist with your submission.This is still my favorite /co/ holiday picture. I don't know why it cracks me up so much every time.
Can someone explain to me what this whole "Chris Miss" thing is?
In as whimsical a way as possible?
>>77912841
Hmm, I might try that. It'll give me something to think about at work tomorrow.
I always forget to post this. I8ICH61R8ETZ
>>77912841
You know what, I'm just going to add superheroes to a christmas story I wrote when I was like 9 or 10 for the fun of it.
Posting List again, 2WMBH6XUZ1YBU
Merry Christmas going to be off the thread for a while, Watching game awards right now, MGS V CHAPTER 3 PLEASE GOD.
>>77912888
It is a brand of Instant Hot Cocoa!

>>77913013
Since I'm new to this, I might as well post my list. I've already gifted something for one guy, so here's hoping someone shares that sweet Christmas goodness with me!Or don't, it's no big deal to me. It'd be nice, but don't think you have to, guys.

>>77913127
At least we get Shaq Fu 2?
>>77912836
Damn. Image has a ton of vol 1s around the $6 price point, but they're cheaper for digital copies.
Story time dumpings distract from the giveaways desu.
>>77913210

Sorry to hear that dude
>>77913201
I'm sure you'll find a girl who understands your use of 4chanI was terrified when I accidentally spilled the beans about 4chan to my gf of about a year and had to explain to her it wasn't just raids and gore and cp.4 years now
>>77912972
And actually while we're at it mate how cool would be with a copy of wonder woman vol 1 by azzarello that it's in a really good condition and already in my possession?
>>77913201
Sorry to hear that, friend. Can you at least drink and/or eat your cares away?

Indeed I am, and I'm super excited, Dave. Thank you so much. This has been a big day for me! I'll storytime something here soon.

Got cut off. But storytimes are where we keep the spirit alive for the rest of the year. I know you don't need thanks for sharing someone else's work, but taking the time to spread knowledge and create a nice atmosphere is always appreciated.
>>77913672
Damn this ended on a way sadder note than I'd expected.

Wally is the only Flash that ever had real emotions
>>77913853
Guess I'll post my bus drawings after the storytime.
>>77914059
I just finished reading volume 2 of Flash last night, which I'd been working through off and on all year. He really elevated to one of my favorite heroes. What a great character with some really great arcs.
Hey awesome christmas thread, just wanted to let you all know that tomorrow night, due to popular demand and my own sadomasochism, I'm going to be re-running TITANS: VILLAINS FOR HIRE as a storytime of pain. It's a memorable trainwreck continuing on the wonderful plot threads from Rise of Arsenal. 7 PM CST, here, on /co/.
TVW7WISDYXRS
Accidentally posted this in the old thread. WHOOPS.
This is my first time running a contest in here so let's see how this goes.
SO I really love Christmas songs, but I don't know about you guys but I get REALLY SICK of hearing the same goddamn songs over and over again on these radio stations around the holidays. So I sat down and recorded some more obscure Christmas carols and hymns and want to see how many you guys recognize.
GUESS ALL FOUR SONGS CORRECTLY AND WIN A FABULOUS PRIZE! (max $$$ limit of 40 dollars)
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0eQC6mQQ2YA
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0n8iGhxGKoz
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1BsNpl0dz2L
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1DA7axhCOmG(It WAS going to be five songs, but fuck me that last one is proving a lot more difficult to play than I anticipated.)
>>77914128
Oh shit I'm definitely going to be tuning in for that.
>>77914133
I think I recognize the second one from church, but there's no way I could even guess the other songs, lol.
>>77913722
Story timing is literally the most fun I have,
>>77914133
That's pretty good work anon. I KNOW one, am pretty sure about another, but I can't place the other two yet.
>>77914133
Scarborough Fair, a song inspired by Piano Man, I have a musical box that plays this but I don't know it's name, and I'm pretty sure I sung this for choir when I was in high school
Well I don't think I'm getting the prize but it was nice to hear christmas songs you don't hear every day in december, so thanks piano anon!
>>77914133
I have the first three for sure, I'm trying to get the fourth but it's not ringing a bell
>>77914172
The church I grew up in played it for every Christmas mass. It's one of my favorites.
HOLY SHIT PSYCHONAUTS 2 YOU GUYS
>>77914133
String Song
Christmas Song
Sad Song
Triumphant Song
....what do I win?

I KNOW IT JUST CAME UP ON MY TWITTER FEED AAAAAAAA
>>77914316
Jesus this is the year of continuing things that we all thought were dead.
>>77914316
I just saw that!
>>77914329
Psychonauts 2 being a thing isn't enough for you, Dave?
>>77914384
I was more of a tetris man myself
>>77914384
The original wasn't even that good.
>>77914384
I haven't made myself get around to the original yet, wtf self, it's on Steam
Speaking of classic shit on Steam, who here wasted a shitload of their life playing ADOM way back when?
>>77914316
Sucks that Tim "SockPuppet" Schafer Is still attached to it though senpai.
>>77914415
The original one was a passable puzzle platformer with really great writing and a fun setting. It wasn't the greatest thing ever but it was cool and unique and I hope they can retain that same feel with the sequel.
>>77914415
Worse games got sequels sooner, that's your reply.

A Kamala Christmas!
Christ I fucking hate my camera on my phone.

I'm in the same position. I thought I was going to roll this contest, but that fucking 4th song
>>77914480
replied to wrong thing, meant to be >>77914316 sorry
>>77914495
a) implying duck races are at all bad
b) over halo 4 and 5 ye
>>77914480
I want more classic JRPGs that don't involve shitty 'skill' minigames to get the best items. I want to grind (within reason) and explore and kill shit with my party via strategy.
>>77914504
Wait, wrong Kamala.

>>77914534
This was so much fun to draw. A lady gave me a dirty look on the bus while drawing, making it all the better.
>>77914133
Fuck I got 3/4. I have no clue what the last one is. Any hint?
Clearly it wasn't on the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums.
>>77914504
oh my god I love you drawfriend
>>77914524
could try branching out into the SMT series. Digital Devil Saga is great.
>>77914316
literally all I want is another STALKER. The entire industry could drop off the earth after that for all I care.
And it's the one thing I'll never get.
>>77914534
This is wonderful.
>>77914579
That's fantastic
>>77914562
I wonder if I can PS2 emu some of those
>>77914594
I never managed to get into Persona, but hmmm
>>77914581
I figured that's where most people were going to trip up. I'll let it go a little bit longer and if no one gets it then I'm going post a hint.
>>77914579
Goddamn amazing.

psst, it's 'in' or 'im' not 'en'

>>77914579
>Are you a good enough Dude to jingle Hitler's Bells?
>>77914696
I'm so awful at carrying a tune, so even when comparing songs side by side I have to be like "hang on, is this the same?"
Great piano playing, though.
>>77914679
The PS2 Ateliers work fine; Annie DS is also an option, and the PS3/Vita titles are hella cheap.
If Gust's Ar Tonelico games are uncomfortably lewd (but still decent or better), Atelier is pure as fresh snow.
Also since it's been a few threads.36N04QFZXGDAK
>>77914750
It doesn't help that a lot of Christmas music sounds similar anyways.
>>77914679
Persona is really different from it IMO. I'm honestly not that into JRPGs. The ones I've played are probably:
Shenmue
Shenmue 2
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga
Persona 4 Golden
Pokemon series (if it counts)
>>77914761
I have zero PS3 or Vita, but a DS game that could be had cheaply is relevant to my interests. I kind of assumed that the PS2 games were OOP and obscenely overpriced
Hellboy and christmas go together like peanut butter and marshmallow fluffI miss storytiming hellboy, the chronological storytimes were the best thing ever.
>>77914809
Several of the songs I have in my Christmas hymn repertoire of the "hey let's take another older song and slap new lyrics on top of the tune".For those of you stuck on the fourth song, you can consider that a hint.
>>77914811
Oops, forgot Nier and Dark Souls, but I haven't completed either.
>>77914844
It's not the Huron Carol, right?
>>77914824
The DS game is rare, IIRC, but the PS2 Ateliers had a big print run and aren't unreasonable. You never know until you look, small print runs are typically the scary ones.
>>77914878
Nope.The tune is traditionally thought to be of siciilian origin, and it was a popular Marian hymn in the Catholic church before they put different English lyrics on it to make it a "Christmas" song. In fact, it's probably still more strongly associated with the original version than the Christmas version.

Congrats Tajador, post your list and I'll get you something rad.
>>77914957
Gifted son!
>tfw you havent been to church in over 2 decades so you don't know the songs
>>77914994
Tim that's an addon item. Can't ship it unless the order is $25 or more.
>>77914926
Can I ask what the original text was before "translating" to spanish? Because that text is hilarious.
>>77915073
Thank you. Mr. Nigma!
>>77915051
AND you're a Rider fan. Good stuff, Piano Anon.That picture is what made Tajador my favorite.
Growing up, my mom would always play the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas CDs in the car at Christmas time, so the first three are forever ingrained in my head.
Shit, I should donate my win since I've already been gifted, but I can't help but selfishly feel that I've earned this since I struggle so much with tune carrying. 3RNEI9917FCUK. But if you would prefer to go for an ungifted anon instead, I will gladly endorse that decision.
>>77915112
Oh shit sorry, I need to find something else, Any recommendations?
This thread is feeling pretty comfy right now while /toy/ is discussing their grinching Santas.
>>77915051
Piano Anon, you're making me want to run an opera contest
>>77915158
Image has a ton of Vol 1s for a little over $6. Sex Criminals? Saga?
>>77915130
It was intended to say something along the lines of hey post your lists. I did it in Spanish for the .es wishlist posted above, but it looks like he left the thread. Have no idea what Google slapped it to. I hope the jist is there.
>>77915158
No idea, take your time though.
>>77915146
Nah, you won the contest, and you earned it for having the best taste in Rider designs. (Tajador's my favorite suit too).
>>77915146
Split the difference, my boy! Half and half for you and an ungifted.
>>77915188
Peter Panzerfaust!
>>77915230
I loved that book
Merry Christmas guys
Also take 41XVB5DB3C2U off the list.
>>77915207
Tajador + Effects parts is the highlight of my figure collection. Love him. Not going to lie, though, Ghost is cutting it close. The bad belt knocks it down a peg though. Meteor is also a close second.
>>77915279
Meteor's suit looks pretty cool but the asymmetry of it always bugged me a bit. There's a lot of Rider designs I'd love to have figuarts to sit on my bookshelves though.
>>77915198
Added what >>77915188 Said, Saga, Looks interesting.
>>77915198
The spanish anon it's me, I meant to say that it was really poorly translated, but now I realized santa has elfs so it makes more sense. (Santa isn't very popular around here, our gifts day it's on January 6th because of the Three Wise Men)
>>77915100
>tfw you've never been to church. Ever.
>tfw when too lazy to find or draw a face.
I don't know what I'm doing anymore. Especially with these contests. I can't do them at all. either I don't know shit about music or just not the brightest bulb in the board. But, hell, fun to see people try.
Hey there /co/mrades. It's Christmas cryptoquiz time again. A prize is back on the table tonight, so if you're first to the solution, make sure to include your wishlist!

I wash my hands clean of it.
>>77915307
I got into Rider about halfway through Gaim, and have collected way too many Figuarts. Finally toned it down, though. I think I'm basically done. But I did preorder Ghost, and might grab Spectre. Might wait and see how the season pans out though. So far it's only okay.
But since I got gifted again, I might as well pay it forward. 1ARISLMZZ8M7Y you're going to get one of my favorite books.
>>77915375
How you liking it? I didn't love W as much as most people seem to.
>>77915344
Interesting I'll look into slapping you a gift sometime after I finish cleaning my gun here.

>>77915482
I keep forgetting to continue it whenever I have time. The forms/powers seem cool though, and Phillip is a qt.
>>77915361
Is this right?
I know how you feel, Bart. When I was your age, I wanted an electric football game more than anything in the world. And my parents bought it for me, and it was the happiest day of my life.
2YTJ8S13O2ILD
>>77915530
Goddamn man, how'd you get it that fast?
>>77915482
I think W is a little overrated too, but it's still a lot of fun. Biggest problem I had with it is that the villains are a joke for most of the series.
I actually only got into the franchise earlier this year (Kuuga was my first) and now jumped off the slippery slope into figuarts collecting.
>>77915530
Dayum. Nice work
