-Christmas
has come and past, and perhaps these lists I've compiled would have been more appropriate
a few months back, but I see it in another way. The giving season has come and gone, but
why not look at the presents we wished we would have gotten, or we wished we could have
given others. I know we're all more than grateful for what we got, and its not about the
presents...wait I'm going all sappy now. I can't help it, Christmas is undenaibly a
special time of year. But lets set aside those feelings for a moment and look at things in
another light, lets look at the best damn christmas presents out there. SHALL WE?

DIGITAL CAMERA
- Who doesn't want a digital scrapbook of all their odd ass daily occurences. If I had a
digital camera for all the RAW's, Nitro's, and House Shows I attended...well I probably
couldn't show my mother all the havoc that took place, but I know I could bring some
smiles to quite a few faces. (Proof of this, the naked Purpleheaded guy in Des Moines who
recieved a powerbomb post-WCW Nitro, it must been seen to be believed.) - EST. PRICE = $200 - $700. |
#9. |
 |
SEGA DREAMCAST
- People can talk all the junk they want to about Sega's previous flops, but there's no
denying that you and your friends will have more than one fun night playing Sega's
top-of-the-line sports games. And with Shenume out and Phantasy Star Online on the
way....Dreamcast is here to stay. - EST. PRICE = $150. |
#8. |
 |
DVD PLAYER
- If you don't have one...you have no idea what you're missing. I was skeptical at first
too, then I saw The Matrix on DVD and heard what they had planned for Fight Club on the
medium. These two discs alone sold me, and if they don't sell you. Gladiator, The Perfect
Storm, and Seven will. - EST. PRICE = $200 - $600. |
#7. |
 |
CAR MP3 PLAYER
- I don't know one lucky soul who owns one, hell I don't even know anyone who even has any
plans on installing one in their ride. But I know me and my friends have drooled over
these things since we first got wind of them. No one wants to buy one, but any of us would
get wet if someone gave us one. AGREED? - EST. PRICE = $250 - $800. |
#6. |
 |
CD BURNER
- Most of us have them by now, and those that don't...want one. Why pay for ridiciolously
priced CDs that you like one song off of? I know from experience, my 300+ CD collection
contains such garbage as Craig Mack, Skee Lo, and Mary J. Blige. What I wouldn't give to
not have the fact I paid 18 bucks each hanging over my head. - EST.
PRICE = $200 - 400. |
#5. |
 |
VOODOO 5 5500
- I'd bet good (not Shook) money, that no one any of us knows will ever own one of these
beauties, but who in their right mind wouldn't love for one to power their computer
display? It would probably look out of place in my Eversex 300 Mhz Shitbox, but damn it if
I don't want one. - EST. PRICE = $500. |
#4. |
 |
SURROUND SOUND
- I was never a huge surround sound mark, I was more into the visuals of a movie, I
personally thought sound was just a bonus. That is until I invested in a little surround
sound setup of my own. If you watch movies regularly and you don't have Dolby Digital 5.1
assualting your senses...you're missing out. Hell, I even liked Mission to Mars and one of
the main reasons was the way it rocked my little basement through my Sonys. - EST. PRICE = $300 - $2000. |
#3. |
 |
PLAYSTATION 2
- Do these even exist? I think its all a big hoax, people just claim to own them to act
cool (cough Vigilante cough). But if any of us could get our hands on this piece of
vaporware... wetness would ensue. I personally hate Sony as a videogame company, but damn
I want a PSX2. Hate me...I'll get over it. - EST. PRICE = $300 -
$1000. |
#2. |
 |
BIG SCREEN
TELEVISION - Personally I don't own one of these big ass bad boys. I had to carry
one once...does that count? I guess not, but imagine you're watching Fight Club and Tyler
Durden is damn near life size? Sold yet? I know I am. - EST. PRICE = |
#1. |
 |
ALIENWARE
COMPUTER - Not a day goes by that I don't wish to own a better computer. Look at
all the drama I cause with my shitbox, imagine if I had a decent computer. And if you're
gonna dream, why not dream big? Alienware...nuff said. I know a lot of people out there
who would turn down a night with their dream girl for an Alienware. Is that saying enough?
Note: The system I customized had a 1.5 Ghz Pentium 4, 500+ Mbs of
RAM, 2 36 gig SCSI drives, etc. - EST. PRICE = $2000 to
$9000. |
-That's just my take on the perfect Xmas
gifts for people my age, I know my tastes are alot different then some, but I can't
imagine anyone who wouldn't mark out if an Alienware was under their tree. Speaking of
Christmas and Trees, I think it's only right that I share a great injustice with you. It
seems that GYEAH.COM Staff Member Shooks' parents don't celebrate Xmas, and don't even
have a damn tree. I know it's well after Dec. 25, 2000 by the time you read this article,
but if you get a chance...email Tom Shooks and tell
the bastard Merry Xmas....its the right thing to do. And if I didn't say it in
December.....
MERRY
CHRISTIMAS YOU BASTARDS! |
