Peace on Earth
Goodwill to men
Confusion to our enemies

[Torvald Von Mansee]

If reality weren't a constriction, I'd ask for at least omnipotence. I'm not sure if I'd want omniscience to go along with it, though.

Otherwise, when it comes to reality, I just want to get a new PC and various PC games and some to go w/my PSP.

[FIREWALL]

Silent Hunter V a month before anyone else has it. :yeah:

[kiwi_2005]

I wish for my sisters to NOT call round on christmas day and ruin it for me :wah:

I hate gossipers and they're experts at it. Drives me nuts so i load up a game turn up the speakers and leave them to it. Thank the heavens its only once a year they turn up! :rotfl2:

[Jimbuna]

World peace.

[Letum]

A glass of Port, a bit of cake and the right to laugh at you when I get
what I want, but you don't get world peace, global domination, SHV and
eyes that shoot lasers etc.
;)

[Oberon]

1) World peace,

2) Infinate natural resources,

3) Invulnerable animals.


More realistically:

1) The World at War boxset

2) ArmA

3) Harry Turtledoves World War series

4) Turkey

5) Day off work

[Thomen]

Since the relationship between my stepdaughter and me is more like big brother and little sister, I want one of those (http://www.hasbro.com/nerf/en-US/shop/details.cfm?guid=940C0CA6-6D40-1014-8BF0-9EFBF894F9D4&product_id=22379&src=endeca) for the ultimate evil big brother world domination! :D

[Onkel Neal]

A radio for the kitchen. That has presets for the stations.

[Platapus]

I want a football

No! No! I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!

Santa Claus: You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

:wah:

[Dowly]

New arse.. this one has hole in it. :hmmm:

[CaptainHaplo]

I took my kids to a "breakfast with santa" this morning as a fundraiser for the local community center. I was wearing both a Carolina Panther shirt and my Panther Jacket. When they were done, Santa asked my son "what does your Dad want for Christmas"? My son shrugged, and I couldn't help it - I said:

"Santa - all I want for Christmas - is a new head coach!"

The guy chuckled and said "Well I won't promise it, but it looks like you have been good!" A number of the Dads waiting in line were laughing.

So that tops my list.

I don't really want world peace. Its a wonderful ideal - but sooner or later someone would screw it up.

I want my presidential candidate paperwork to suddenly become simple.

I want someone qualified and serious to head up my campaign.

But much more important, I want a citizenry that wakes up and pays real attention to where their politicians on either side of the "isle" are taking them.

I want other people with a belief in the constitution to run for public office, even though its hard.

And on a really selfish note - I want the SH5 team to allow me to help Beta Test SH5 for them. :rock:

[Oberon]

Get a refund Dowly, must be a design fault. Damn arses, I hear they're full of **** :03:

[Oberon]

Although that being said, reminds me of that X-Files episode (Je Souhaite) with the genie where Mulder wishes for Peace on Earth and everyone disappears :har:

[Task Force]

@ dowly... I heard they were surspose to have a hole in them... but more than 1, you have a issue...:rotfl2:

OAh, and how did I forget, STORM OF WAR, BATTLE OF BRITIAN!!! Hear me oleg!!!

[Sailor Steve]

@ Dowly - pretending you posted that on the 'Crush Each Others' Dreams' thread, I reply: Granted, but in three days' time you explode. And it ain't pretty.

[XabbaRus]

After 8 years of marriage and the two kids.

I just want to get laid.

[FIREWALL]

@ Dowly If it's a big hole it's... A perfect fit. :O: :har:

[Weiss Pinguin]

A) A computer decent enough to run SHV on high settings, or

B) a zombie apocalypse, just to liven things up a bit ;)

[Letum]

B) a zombie apocalypse, just to liven things up a bit



Ah ha!
Now this one might just come true on SS next year...

[Jimbuna]

Come to think of it...a new computer would be nice :hmmm:

I want someone else who knows his way around a 2-stroke engine. My brother needs something done on his scooter every few days it seems. :shifty:

Just a few more weeks, and my hands will be permanently black and people will start asking "is that 'l`eau de grease' you're wearing?". :lol:

[Sailor Steve]

All I want for Crifmaf if my two front teef.

[Carotio]

I don't really want anything, and in our family, we decided to buy just one present for one of the others by drawing a random name and for a max price of 500DKK. The only exception is for my 2 year old nephew, who will get some more presents than the rest of us (adults).

My only wishes are not material, so who could give it to me anyway...?

[Snestorm]

Nothing. I stay out of any present swapping.
We are now on that long road towards warmer weather, and longer days.
That's good enough for me.

[Rilder]

I don't celebrate this month, though have to get get something for the GF.

[AVGWarhawk]

Start list:

1. Fallout 3

End list.

That's it. :03:

[Arclight]

You want it? Got the GOTY version with all the DLC, so have my old "vanilla" copy gathering dust. If you wants it, I'll send it over as a Christmas present. :yep:

I appreciate it but my wife asked me what I wanted. I told her Fallout 3. She gets me one thing because that is usually all I ask for. Anything extra is a bonus. So, I have to let her make the purchase. I will also ask her to get The Pitt and Operations add on.

[Fish]

World peace.
Hear hear!

Fair enough, but why not ask for the GOTY then? (base game + all the DLC.) :06:

A lot cheaper than game and all dlc separate. :yep:

Ow, and good choice. :up:

I was looking at the first Fall Out. Apparently does not run on Vista from what I'm seeing. I will have her go to Amazon. I can get all of it for $66.00. I can also send her to Game Stop. This store sells used games and I have seen this their for good price.

The game does look very interesting and different from what I usually play which is normally WW2 sims. As of late just SH4 and COD WOW.

[papa_smurf]

Hmmm......:hmmm:

1 - 3GHz Quad Core

2 - 21" wide screen monitor

3 - TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!! MUUUUWAHHHH!!!

COD WOW is a WWII sim?! :doh: :O:


Imho, Bethesda makes a good RPG. Fallout 3 is more mature than the TES games, in several ways. Can't say anything about the first 2 games though, and whether they work or not; still need to pick up that collector's pack. :hmmm:

At any rate, whatever you get, enjoy. :salute:

Window 7 Ultimate is all I want

Close enough. :lol:



Wait, now I know. I wants War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition. The price has kept me away untill now. :(

[Sailor Steve]

At first I wanted my band to be successful.

Then I wanted a computer that will run SH5.

Then I finally decided: I'll settle for a decent job.:sunny:

[frau kaleun]

I was very naughty and checked my public wish list @ Amazon this morning, and my top 7 items have apparently all been loaded aboard Santa's sleigh with my name attached. Some days, it's good to be me.

Okay, they were all fairly small things and nothing on there was over $15, but at the very least it means I'll be getting 7 *less* items this year that I don't want, don't need, and/or can't use, and won't feel like a heel come January when I'm giving away or throwing out stuff that other people wasted their hard-earned money on. I hate when that happens.

[frau kaleun]

P.S. Oh, er, yeah, world peace, universal employment, puppies and rainbows for all, et cetera, et cetera. :D

[Shearwater]

A hot girlfriend.
But this time, please make sure she's airtight.

[Sailor Steve]

You really need to get Neal to give you a cool Women's avatar. It's free for the ladies and you can pick your own.:/\\k:

Okay, when I read that in my head, it totally sounded like "for tha laaay-deeees" when I got to that part. And it made me laugh, so you get an extra puppy. :yeah:

Actually what I'd really like is time to start playing SH3 again... I didn't get far past the Academy before I stumbled on Subsim and started downloading mods and then I waited for my new computer, since I knew it would be an exercise in constant frustration trying to play with them installed on the old one. Seems like I'd just got my new system set up and everything installed on it when the holiday "OMG IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS" thing hit and now I'm spending most of my free time trying to get everything done for that.

Oh well - I've got vacation time coming along with the usual holiday off-days, so I'm hoping I'll get everything else taken care of and be able to spend some quality time with whatever sad, unfortunate crew gets stuck with me for a kommandant. I must remember to get the No Instant Death mod, or whatever it's called, so I can post cheery holiday screenshots of my crew awaiting whatever horrible fate eventually awaits them at the bottom of some deep, dark portion of the Atlantic.

And I must offer kudos to the folks in my "real life" who stepped up and got those items on my wish list - out of the seven I know most of them were "combat related" in some way, lol. I don't know if they just looked at the list and shook their heads and said "whatever" and decided to go ahead and enable my "issues" anyway or what, but I gotta love 'em. :DL

lol the inner peace I want is one for me while being in this world.

Eternal power is meant for the life after this one and I assume inner peace would go hand in hand with us in the next life in heaven.:O:.

Many will get saved I guess but not everyone will be given...the cake that ends all other cakes lol.......I saw something waaay back then that made me wanting.....a lot more than the whole world lol....just ignore me if you find this confusing :D

I guess I got my present early. I went to my company party tonight and won a 32" LCD TV. Far Out! By by old tube TV.

What do I want for Christmas ? Lets see. I'll make this year's request simple. Financial security enough so that we know that we're going to be able to afford food/rent each week.. and OH WAIT.. Please make it so my wife can have a job for more than 6 months without the company doing massive layoffs and tossing her out into the streets with the rest of the staff (This has happened three times to her in the past two years.) :nope:
