It’s that time of year again… that time when I put out both of my hands and say “Pleeeeeease!!!”.

For those of you who are looking to dump stupid amounts of money on their favorite web dude, I’ve prepared a list for you!  What?  I’m not your favorite web dude?  Well, spend stupid amounts on me anyway!

Please!

Here’s a wish list of sorts for your consideration:

Music

Oh man… I loves me some music.  One can never EVER have enough.  One band I don’t have any CD’s from (and that’s on ly because I can’t seem to find them locally) is Icehouse.  Any album(s) will do.

DVD’s

I really only have one request on DVD… and it’s a damn big one.  But you love me more than any other web monkey, don’t you?  Yes you do!  That’s why I’m asking for Stargate SG-1, The Complete Series Collection

Computer Stuffs

Ok… this is where the list get’s pretty cheap, all things considered.  I really need a new mouse pad and a larger thumb drive (an 8GB would be great!!!).  These items have links to where they are on the web… and they’re both dirt damn cheap!!

There’s a lot of other stuff I’d like, but any of those items would make me very, VERY happy.  And a happy webmaster posts happy content.

You do like happy content, don’t you?  Of course you do!

With nothing but time on my hands, I have to find things to do other than watch the crap they call “daytime TV” (which, by the way, sucks balls).  So… when I’m not in a drug induced comma, I have a couple of games I play.

The Kingdom of Loathing is a free online game that’s a little different than most games you might have played.  It’s an online adventure game where all the monsters are hand drawn, the writing is incredibly funny, and it takes little to no skill what so ever.  It’s also quite fun (and funny!!).  Here’s an example:

You’re fighting  Quinn “Pencil-Thin Mustache” Shafer, the Guy Who Casually Brushes Up Against You Way Too Often for It to Be a Coincidence

You hear a series of squelching noises coming from behind a dumpster. Even though a faint alarm bell sounds in your head, you walk over to investigate the source of the sound. You see a hobo hunched over, rocking back and forth.

“Uh… are you all right?” you ask. “What are you doing back there?”

The hobo looks up and grins. “Masticatin’!” he says, and sticks out his tongue to show you what’s on it. “I found a whole bin full of bacon grease back here, and I’m masticatin’ with it!”

“That’s absolutely disgusting,” you say.

“‘Masticatin’ means ‘chewin’!'”

“I know that. It’s still disgusting.”

The hobo stands up and drops his bacon grease. “Them’s fightin’ words,” he says.

You get the jump on him.

You examine your staff to figure out which end is the business end, then you hit him with the business end of your staff for 5368 (+33) (+3) (+30) (+3) damage. CRITICAL HIT! SMACK! BONK! ZAP! SPLAT! POW! SOCKO! SOCKO! BONK! BAM! BIFF!

You win the fight!

The other game that eats up a lot of my time is Novus Sector’s RF Online.  It’s a MMORG that doesn’t take much computer horse power to run, is huge, and in my opinion, is a lot of fun.

I run with a guild called the Lumenariesâ„¢ (yeah… we even have our own website!).  My name in game is Bioland and I’m a race of robots called the Accretia.  Basically, you run around killing monsters for items and you also have to battle other races from time to time.
