lol. That was funny. I actually wrote something similar to this for the website I work for...it's down right now for a layout upgrade, but I have it saved on my computer:

Next you will have to drop hints like a mad man (or woman). Be sure to tell all of your relatives exactly what you want, and tell each set of relatives a different game, that way you don’t accidentally get the same game twice. Relatives other than your immediate family may not be interested in dropping $50 dollars on you, so you might want to entice a sibling into asking a certain relative for a “combination” gift, which is for both of you. This is also the perfect time of year to find a boyfriend or girlfriend. These significant others usually give out great gifts, so whip out your Don Juan skills and get cracking. It may seem cruel and manipulative, but just remember that video games are an art, and what must be done must be done.
Anyway, +rep. In order for it to work you have to hope your grandparents are last minute shoppers, because time is almost up.

Christmas is about giving. Don't you people find any satisfaction in that?

Speaking of which, I fixed my Grandma's computer and installed Firefox on it. When she gave me our Christmas presents to put under our tree, she gave me a card on the side.. And in that card was $100.

I love my grandma. I wonder how many games she got me this year. Last year it was at least three.

Good articles Neo and Vampyr.

Fortunatley, I've bought myself most of the games I want so the ones I've put on my lists are just ones that I've seen and thought looked kind of cool.

The only must-have is World of WarCraft.
