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. Remember to say thanks and maybe post a pic if you get lucky.
There are a lot of wishlists that don't have addresses tied to them, without an address no one can purchase something for you and have it sent to you. To update that please open your list, select the "list settings" option in the top right corner, then in the window click "view details" for the list your are sharing then select or add an address under the "shipping address" in the middle if you don't want to share your full name please make a new address and use initials or some nickname.
Getting real close to 100% gifted! We can do it!

Edit your list and add a /co/ item (I recommend Chew vol 1) so I can gift you and finish this!
>>78354870
Why are you refusing the guy to request what he wants?
>>78354912
If that's the list I think it is all he has on there are an MIT hat and shirt and $50 shoes
>>78354944
And? Is there a rule that says what people must and can't have on their wishlist?
who still needs gifts? hasn't gotten one?
>>78354912
It's not so much that I won't do that, but I feel it's kind of silly to post in a /co/ Secret Santa and not have /co/ things. He also remarked in the previous thread to remove his list, but we won't have that!
did 204KAK6YAP4HA get a gift yet?
>want to add my list
>only three left
>rather see it completed instead
>>78355048
no add it, there are people still looking to give

>/co/ secret santa
>asking for expensive non-/co/ shit
no, there's no rule, but don't expect anyone to gift you.
>>78355817
Aww hell, more into cartoons so my list doesn't have much /co/ on it but might as well give it a shot if you're feeling festive my dudeT49AT7TMIZ0N

These threads seem to be slowing down a little as Christmas approaches so am gonna throw my list out there just in case: 289CEA8I2RAER uk
Have seen a few anons saying they only want new stuff so thought I'd add that I'm happy with whatever anyone can gift.
I'm the anon who's just finished their research - so I've had a rough year trying to pull together enough to make ends meet.
It's not a huge deal I know, but the generosity of some of you guys has been seriously impressive. The last year has been tough for a number of reasons and a little kindness from a stranger does absolute wonders. Anyway... I hope you all have fantastic Christmases.
These have been fun threads too - nice chats and good times.
>>78356308
gift given
>>78356768
gift given
>>78356954
Wow, thanks anon.
>>78356799
>>78356315
If this is you too then you seem like an anon on a mission to save Christmas. Have you thrown up your list this thread yet? It might be worth it if someone is able to repay your kindness.
I could always storytime a Christmas comic or two, after I'm done with my own thread.
What do you guys want first:
>"Deep sexual _______"
or
>"Who's on _____?"
>>78357135
The second one sounds funnier.
Also, Minifig, you know where I can get Lego figs on the cheap?
Thank you, SDU, this actually arrived a couple of days ago but i've been so swamped with work i'm only now finding the time to post this.
Also thank you, Santaseid for reminding me this book exists, i look forward to reading it!
And last but not least, thank you /co/. These threads really make my christmas and i can barely find the words to show how appreciative i am.
Merry christmas, happy holidays and goodwill to all /co/mrades!
>>78357412
You gotta tell me how it is. Seems like such an awesome premise. You're welcome mate.
Heres my wishlist full of dredd 2DJU5K896B7V9
>>78357853
Not him but it's a very well done comic, lots of heart put in it.
Merry Christmas folks. I got let out of hospital for over the Christmas season. Currently full of the drugs and not the good ones. going back in for some more transfusions but at least I'm out of there for a breather. Thanks for the well wishes, some.... I dunno, 7 threads or back or so, folks.
How's the Christmas cheer going? I've missed these threads. Any streams still up?
Thanks a ton Anon, first time posting in one of these and I expected some small thing, not five large hardcovers. Love the gift, and a Merry Christmas to everyone.
Hope everyone's having a good morning, noon, or night wherever you may be! Think I finally got my sleep schedule switched back around, so hopefully I won't be crashing midday anymore.
>>78357412
>>78357853
You should change your name to SFR; Santa For Real.
>>78358107
Daaang, quiet the haul there! You must've been extra good this year. I've been meaning to get some Invincible books myself, I hear good things.
>>78358083
Hope you get better, man. I'm currently loading up on coffee to drive seven hours back home for the holidays. Bit of a late start because I overslept, and fuck driving in the rain.
>>78358083
Hey! So you did get to make it out for Christmas? That's something at least. Hope everything goes well! Not sure if Elusive's stream is still running, but I believe he plans to stream Gremlins 1 and 2 sometime soon.
>>78358006
I'll put it on my to read list then. I always love it when you can tell the people who created it loved doing so.
>>78358147
I though I got rid of my terrible sleeping pattern, but today I woke up at 3pm. I also like Tiesto Claus.
>>78358209
>Gremlins 1 and 2 sometime soon.
1PM pst/4PM est.
Corbeau is thinking of doing it in more of a prime time slot on wednesday IIRC
>>78358211
Haha, I am in full support of Tiesto Claus.
I was all out of wack, so the night before last I didn't sleep and I tried to make it until 10pm yesterday, but I ended up falling asleep at 6pm and sleeping until 4am, so I think I'll be able to switch myself around. Usually skipping a night's sleep and then going to bed the next day at a decent hour does the trick.
>>78358211
Damn it, messed with my name and forgot to change it back
>>78358246
I thought SDUFR was gonna be the new name!
>>78358253
Sounds like a Power Rangers series
>SDUFR!
>>78358239
That usually does the trick, or what worked the best for me was having only 1 hour of sleep, gives you enough to make it to the time you would want to go to bed to fix things.
>>78358253
I was just checking how it looked. But lets do it!
>>78358272
Super Dinkum Unite Fast Ranger/s?
I just wanted to come here and say thanks to the kind annon who gifted me.
>>78358387
Thanks Jose!
>>78358337
But we already know you're Santa Down Under for real. It must be known you're Santa For Real!
pic related, it's you
>>78358459
I wish I could be a jacked Santa, that would be sweet. I'm just stuck looking like this guy instead. At least if Santa needs a body double I can help him out.
>>78358209
Hey Scribs, yeah they let me out for good behavior. I have to go back and keep away from people with infections and that jazz but at least I'm home for the holiday. Feels like I'm drunk all the time, only without the enjoyable escapism.
If Elusive is doing Gremlins I got to get on that. I've not seen a single Christmas film this year. It's a Wonderful Life is on later but that's just depressing. It's like Grave of Fireflies, you're watching the systematic destruction of someone for a couple of hours. Ain't my idea of entertainment.
>>78358184
Cheers fella. I don't envy seven hours on the road, but be safe in doing so if it's bad weather.
>>78358337
I shall have to change The Night before /Co/hristmas to reflect this. Speaking of which >>78358459 do you use a tablet for your scribs? Something I also need to know for The Night before /Co/hristmas
>>78358757
>do you use a tablet for your scribs?
Nope. I don't even own a tablet.
Well, I don't have to work for a while, so I can hang out in here. I don't think I can give any more gifts though, I still need to shop for my family, haha.
>>78359194
>implying /co/ isn't family
I'm hurt Toast
>>78358107
Holy Christ anon. So many prizes.
>>78354870
>WMAHLJVM16J7
Just bumping with a reminder, we're so close buddy!
Morning, all! How's everyone doing today?
Anyone know of a good site for free PDF-format books? I got my wife a Kindle for Christmas and, while I've got a couple of books on there (and Amazon threw on like 40 different English to _____ dictionaries), I'd like to get some more to start her off. Currently trying to figure out how to make CBR/CBZ files into PDFs too. Don't even know if comics would work well on a Kindle though...
>>78359985
>Currently trying to figure out how to make CBR/CBZ files into PDFs too
Unpack them and then use a converter to turn the image folder into a PDF.
Did the same to get some stuff on my Gen1 Nook.
Works pretty well
>>78359648
Pssh, you know what I mean. The people I currently live with/near. Because all I've bought so far is something for my stepbrother. I still need to shop for five more people. I'm running out of time!
>>78359985
Do you mean the new kindle tablet? Because there's a great cbr/cbz reader for Android you and put on there by emailing yourself the apk file.
>>78359985
Any kind of torrent site would be my guess. As for CBR to PDF, Davey nailed it. Open the CBR with winrar to extract the image folder and make it a pdf.
>>78357234
First Publishing Holiday Special it is, then!
As for cheap minifigures of Dpahne and Velma... I hate to say it, but bricklink is probably your best bet; eBay doesn't sell them for less than about $22 inc. shipping, unless you want to get in a bidding war that'll last until Christmas Eve...
>>78360119
Damn, looking for the new figs for Daphne and Velma...but the price range for Velma in particular on there is insane.
Will have to wait it out then haha.
>>78360167
That said, you might be able to get a Velma from somebody in Mexico off eBay for about $18... you might as well take a look, see if the shipping is better for you than it is for me - different continent, and all that.
As for me, I've finally gotten the last of my family's presents wrapped up; my parents are getting a donation to the local children's hospital in their name, and my brothers are also getting charity gifts:a toilet and manure for crops.My parents are also getting fish oil caplets; those things are supposed to help the brain, and those two have been getting pretty forgetful lately...
>>78360194
Sure thing, they're relatively new sets anyway.
Might probably be able to find something in coming months.
I've been catching up on Christmassy radio programs from the BBC today - here's a rather fun show about what kids have in Iceland instead of Santa:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06s75pm
>>78360226
Well, 'tis the season to gouge prices...
>>78360248
No doubt.
And it's like having the small accessory (map and camera) adds on another 3 bucks.
>>78359985
Just hop on the /g/ server, installgentoo. There's a whole section of ebooks for Kindle if I remember correctly.
Another radio show I listened to today is Crisp and Even Brightly - a HILARIOUS (if rather British) send-up of King Wencelas.
>>78360258
That's just standard toy collecting b.s. - it sucks, but what can you do?
>>78360356
Best I can find comes out to 38-40 inc. shipping.
Which is about 20% more than the set I'm getting for the kid to begin with haha.
>>78360387
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit... Have you looked at international sellers? They can have pretty decent shipping sometimes...
>>78360080
In fact here
http://www.mediafire.com/download/01gz45tjf6656ku/Astonishing_Comic_Reader_3.063.apk
Download that on the Kindle. You can just put cbr/cbz on the SD card and it will find them. Also if you want to you can download es file explorer and set up a shared folder on your computer with all your comics in it then you can read them over wifi.
>>78358211
SDU, I dunno if I managed to say this in a thread that you were on, but thank you SO MUCH for the Perez Wondy. I will hug it and kiss it and call it George and maybe loan it out to someone I can trust to treat it real good so they can share in the comics <3
>>78360405
I'll check after I get back from last finals and last gathering of presents.
Don't know why they're the rarest figs of the SD line anyway haha
>>78360480
It's not uncommon for female toys in a gender-neutral/"boys" line to go for stupid prices; stores see them as "pegwarmers", so they don't get made as much. Supply and demand, and so on...
Here's a radio show about "Chrismukkah" and other holiday mashups: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06s7y5w
>>78360476
YES! I did see it and I also got your thank you note. That's the kind of stuff I want to hear, loving your books is one of the best things you can do, especially when you get friends to love them as well, I try to do that with my friends but only one of them ever bothers to read a book when I tell him to. I'm glad you love it.
And that's that.
>>78360516
That's Lame.
It's the scooby gang.
>>78361248
sellinou tried one of those Lego stores? I know the Queens Center Mall has one, might be selling the figures you need.
>>78361535
Have you tried....
Fuck you phone.
>>78361535
Yeah, there's one near me I'll check it later today.
Okay, you know what?
I've wrapped all my presents.
I've picked what CDs I'll be listening to on the drive up to my brother's place.
I'm still waiting for Steam to stop taking me to my profile when I just want to check my wishlist to see if anything's really cheap in the sales.
!mpact W!nter Spec!al. Let's do this.
>>78361248
I know, but Scooby's hot shit nowadays. I'm still old enough to remember when Fred Flintstone was the figurehead of Hanna Barbera...
Steam Sale started today for those of you that care about such things
That reminds me, I probably won't be here over Christmas Eve to Boxing Day, as I'll be spending it with my brother's future in-laws, which include two 6 year olds, so... yeah.
>>78361891
Ahh the Flintstones.
All I remember is that incredibly 90's "steal the real estate" plot the movie had.
>Twitch! Twitch!
And it is. The Be Cool christmas episode finally got ripped. Brings back the pteradactyl monster
>>78361980
I vaguely remember a Christmas special where Fred adopts a juvenile delinquent
Steam update: I don't get redirected to my profile any more... but Steam is under the assumption that my wishlist is empty, even though I had at least half a dozen games in there an hour ago.
Well, it's not like the sales will end any time soon. I just wish Armello was cheaper - from what I've heard, £11.24 is a bit too much for that game.
>>78362014
That sounds...like a mixed bag.
Reminds me of the part of the original Planet of the Apes movie with Cornelius' nephew(?) and his whole "Youth Culture" rant.
>>78360326
>That's okay, we'll us silencers
Baron probably voted for Walker, but by god he's a funny bastard.
>>78362105
It was pretty odd; I distinctly remember the delinquent kidnapping Mr Slate.
Posting my wish list 3OMH9TBAAT0WK i want to gift but when i copy paste ssome ones list it just goes to my wishlist what can i do?
Sorry - some of the lights stopped working, then I got logged out of my pass.
>>78362768
You in a different country than the list?
Or maybe you're not placing it quite right?
>>78358387
>>78358423
Good stuff and great taste, Nguyen is fanfucking tastic. That cover is so simple yet so gorgeous.
Good news, everyone: my wishist is back!
I only bought two things off my wishlist; I'll wait for Armello, Shadowrun: Hong Kong and Chroma Squad to go down a bit. There's always next year...
Okay, that's probably all from me for today. I'll probably swing tomorrow with my very favourite Christmas comics, if I have the time.
I want to thank Mauricio for sending Transmetropolitan and Blue Beetle.
I don't know when Madvillany arrives but I want to thank the anon who sent it too in case it arrives after these threads dissapear.
>>78354763
All I want for Christmas is someone to storytime the Lobo Paramiltary Christmas Special
3PDZ4VH512HVM
For some reason, my list was put under the "needs and address" heading. Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
>>78363479
Don't look at me - the .cbr that I torrented aeons ago is corrupted.
Can't believe Christmas is just 3 days away. Where does the time go?? I hope you all are getting your gifts on time.3OQC8T7RNV7K8
The Gremlins Stream may be a little late, my dvd drive is refusing to open.
>>78364938
Poke a toothpick or paperclip into the hole that's on the front of your dvd drive.
>>78365158
It wasn't that, found the power cable dissconnected.
I'm ready to start, just waiting for people to join in.

Yo f a m what up?
Who /going up North/ here? Stoked to see my gramps, and all the snow. Anyone got snow by them yet?1U8MQ0KB93A7M
I'm going through the thread for any new lists, but at right now we're down to one wishlist in the ungifted list without address issues.
>>78363491
You need to assign an address to your wishlist, the steps to do so are in the pastebin.
>>78365187
And we're up and running, he's trying to sell the bathroom buddy.
Watching a Christmassy episode of Murdoch Mysteries - Ed Asner as Kris Kringle is pretty darn comfy.
>>78365234
I'll be heading up to Liverpool on Christmas Eve for my brother and his fiancee; Christmas will be with his future in-laws, which'll be... interesting.

Ok we've got 3 ungifted, 232 gifted, a 99% gifted rate.
>>78358219
Yea I've got to do it at the odd time since I work at 4am.
>>78362994
Shadowrun returns and dragonfall were both great games.

Looks like it.

>>78365823
Tell a lie, it's actually just outside of Newcastle. Don't know why I said Newcastle.
>>78365870
Already got both of them.Still haven't played Dragonfall
got 20+ games waiting to gift to my friends on steam. thanks gabe.29G6N3EZBAVO8
>>78365634

The missus started watching that before the move from Ohio. Ed Asner's always worthwhile, so I might have to watch that with her.

A friend gifted me the FNAF series collection. I've never played any of these. Are they worth it?
>>78365870
>Ok we've got 3 ungifted, 232 gifted, a 99% gifted rate.
We can definitely finish it out this thread, right? Right?
Unfortunately a trip to the dentist put a definitive end to my gift-buying this year, but hoping anons can pull this one out.
Is it wrong of me to post a non /co/-related wish list?
>>78366589
It's not wrong persay, my wishlist has a jumble of /co/ and non /co/ stuff. But there's an issue of people from /co/ not always wanting/willing to gift something non /co/ related. There's one wishlist in the ungifted list that people have been avoiding since it only has a hat, a shirt, a keyboard, and a $50 pair of shoes.
>>78366420
Do you have Usagi Yojimbo on your wishlist? If not, do so immediately.
>>78366514
The night is young...
>>78366589
I personally don't mind, but it's considered good form to at least put a few trades/DVDs on there.
>>78366589
Not wrong, but I'd definitely would buy a /co/ item where as I feel no need for a non /co/ item.
>>78366514
>2DJU5K896B7V9
It begins
>>78366797
And dropping my listFKVFTCKNPLCE
>>78366797
Excellent.
3PDZ4VH512HVM has really expensive stuff on his default list, but there's cheaper stuff on his other lists.
WMAHLJVM16J7 is kind of boring, so it doesn't surprise me that he's been avoided so long. But maybe there's a Chelsea fan on /co/.
>>78366849
Well it's really the lack of /co/ goods. These lists kinda of reek oflist droppers.So that's why I won't be getting them anything until I see something /co/ related., but I must say I was tempted to gift Pet Sounds
>>78366907
Oh I don't blame you.
>>78366420
Spider Man and Human Torch, the Slott mini. It's funny.
>>78366797
Ok that puts us down to 2 ungifted 233 gifted.
>>78366907
When the list the the $50 shoes was posted it only had the shoes and keyboard in it, I posted to that anon suggesting they add some stuff below $20 and that's where the clothes came from.

Gremlins 2 starting
>List says I've already been gifted
>Don't have Amazon set to warn me what's been bought

These threads have turned me into a literal child trying to figure out what his parents got him.
Wednesday at 2:00 pm PST I'll be re-streaming Gremlins 1 followed by Gremlins 2 at vaughnlive.tv/elusive
This chocolate coal is delicious. Thank you.
>>78366849
I lurk these threads every year and it baffles my mind you guys managed to send everyone shit this year
>>78367880
Ahh naughty anon. Glad you like it.
>>78367641
I know, right?
>>78367976
It's good enough that I would buy it myself. Sorta like hot cocoa mix.
How is everyone this fine Tuesday evening? Just got off worked, got my as handed to me in Star Realms Colony Wars and I think I was gifted $100 in Starbucks gift cards.
I hate coffee.
So how was your day /co/?

Thank you so much! I've wanted to get into Dredd since the summer but I started uni and its expensive as hell so I haven't been able to get any trades just been ready from story times.
Merry Christmas!
>>78368410
At least they have sandwiches and non-coffee stuff?
>>78368736
their sandwhiches are like 15 dollars for what is essentially two pieces of bread
though if I were him I would buy 100 bucks worth of biscottis
Joyeux Noel from3P5RFH9G03V0 .ca~! I'll probably have another movie stream tomorrow night, depending on how things end up scheduling with me going to my parents it might be the last one I'm able to do before Christmas proper.

Office christmas dinner last night was great. Work was g-l-a-c-i-a-l-l-y slow today, last day is a half-day on christmas eve and I feel like I'm literally counting down minute by minute, it's driving me nuts.
if any anons have followed my story at all
i fucked up last night
sober a week, slipped all away when I got sad because of my birthday
:/
at least I still have these threads
>>78368410
Starbucks is like the least caffeine-ated coffee because they grow their beans funny in an effort to mass produce so much
just fwi
they have good tea though
>>78369032
Keep at it. That doesn't mean you just give up entirely. Keep moving forward.
does anyone have that hot cocoa with chocolate oranges recipe another anon introduced?
I found one of those at the grocery store today and really wanto to try it out, sounds delicious
>>78369032
We all make mistakes, but just because you slipped doesn't mean that all of this has been for nothing. Today is a new day.
>>78369101
>chocolate oranges
aw shit. I know what I'm getting myself for xmas.
Oh gosh, one of today's deals on Amazon is up to 50% off Hanna Barbarra dvd collections

Not by my job they don't. Not stuff I like our can eat (diabetic, limits my options).
>>78368762
See above. Might just splurge and buy for everyone at work. Some might stop giving me grief then. For a day.
>>78368899
I'm off until the 4th. My back needs it.
>>78369032
Just keep working on it brother. You can do this.
>>78369067
I dislike brewed teas unless clawingly sweet. But I can only tolerate so much Splenda.
>>78367804
If there's enough interest I'll play both the gremlins again on Saturday at 4pm pst.
Well, how about a storytime while I once again try to badger you people out there to gift the final two wishlists?
With possibly the greatest Batman cover ever.
