Quint needs your help for this year's Holiday Shopping Guide!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with my annual call-out for suggestions for my gigantor Holiday Shopping Guide. That big bastard of an article tries to kill me every year, but it has become very popular, so I keep at it.
But I can't do it without your help.
I need to know what YOU want, what you'd suggest. I'm looking for anything Geek worthy. DVDs, Video Games, Toys, Collectibles, Busts, Gadgets, Books, Comics, Clothing... whatever the hell has got you jonesing this Holiday.
Also, if you work at a publisher, PR firm, etc, please let me know if you believe you have the perfect item to fill the stockings of the geeks.
If you don't know what the hell I'm rambling on about then Click It Here to go to Last Year's Holiday Shopping Guide!!!
In the end, I'll gather together all the suggestions, find the most popular and combine those with the goodies I dig up. If all goes right the article (probably 2 or 3 separate stories going up at the same time... the list just gets bigger and bigger every year) will hit on Thanksgiving, just in time for the big Christmas shopping season.
Please email me your suggestions at quint@aintitcool.com. You can also let me know your thoughts in the talkbacks below, but emails will help me keep track of your ideas better.
Thanks!

A husband comes home to find his wife with her suitcases packed in the living room. "Where the hell do you think you're going?" he says. "I'm going to Las Vegas. You can earn $400 for a blow job there, and I figured that I might as well earn money for what I do to you free."
The husband thinks for a moment, goes upstairs, and comes back down, with his suitcase packed as well. "Where do you think you going?" the wife asks. "I'm coming with you...I want to see how you survive on $800 a year!!!"

I'm starting to think I'm drunker than I actually am!

I would like to suggest the USB smokeless ashtray. Not only does it remind us geeks of the Peltzer smokeless ashtray from Gremlins, but it's an ashtray you can connect to your computer (for the power - you can't program it or make it play mp3s), which seems to me so utterly ridiculous that it must the work of some crazed genius. I believe it also runs on batteries, just in case you don't have a computer. Also, it is shaped like a car.

You know a lot of us here have body odor problems, and our coworkers aren't forward enough to tell us...

Congratulations to anyone who noticed. Must 'be' the work of some crazed genius. Thank you again for considering the USB smokeless ashtray. Also, thank you MrBadWonka for your tremendous run of posts. Your prize? A USB smokeless ashtray.

I just wanted to say it one more time. Also, to get it in the title.

Damn you Michael Bay

Fantastic gift idea. Get your kid a doll that can offspring terrorizing creatures and Santa Ebert will give you two thumbs up! Jolly times to all!

and raped my father. I recommend The Natural Guide To Depression for all those poor sods who tried so hard to get hold of a PS3 by the end of the year.

My mother was killed by Mo King, the local tax-free tobacco dealer. She tried to rape my father, but he remained defiantly flaccid.

The one from Sharper Image with the Vulcan logo on it.

I'll have Rob Reiner come down on your ass.

Of all the Boxed Sets in Existence. But would there be a Box big enough?
-
I just realized I have been coming to this site for 3 years...
-
That would be the GameCube edition.

For all the people intending to send me things, I urge you to make a donation to a charity of your choice instead.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!

Seems like a fellow who went to PRAGUE, as I understand you recently did Mori, would've have picked up a few gifts and knick knacks from the local Ma & Pa giftshops in PRAGUE.

...about 30 years ago, I had this alien doll (or action figure, in geek parlance). It wasn't the Alien alien, it was just an alien. It was green, with sort of a maroon outfit, and its head was made of rubber that slipped over a light bulb so that its eyes glowed. It had this gun thing that it wore like a backpack and which shot little white rubber beebees. Does anyone remember this? That's what I want.

Absolute Sandman
Absolute Dark Knight
Lost Girls
Pride of Baghdad
All essential. -
Sucks.
-
Autographed hardcover, please.
-
For the price of one PS3, you can get an Xbox 360 and a Nintendo Wii. Also, Gears of War will be one of the hottest games this holiday season.
-
I'm with neverwhere. Lost Girls. and for the Filipino geeks out there, an original Voltes V toy, (from that anime); the large die-cast metal set of five spaceships that transform into one robot, manufactured thirty years ago. They have a smaller version nowadays that would sell for $260.
Also check out the reald.com website. They have a 3D projection system and a set of 3D glasses for the low price of $8,665! (Cheep, as MAD magazine would say). Currently they use it for movies and scientific, CAD/CAM applications, but I'd like the XBox 360 or the PS3 to support this. Imagine the possibilities. -

going to space, personal subs, electric sports car etc
by quentintarantado
We can reserve a trip to space on Virgin Galactic ($200,000. Ivccorp.com sells personal subs starting at $15,000. Schwarzenegger was checking out a Tesla electric car (teslamotors.com) for $100,000. It goes 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. You can reserve a Transition personal plane at Terrafugia.com for $7,400 to be delivered 2009 (total price: $148,000, estimated).

But you'd better get me something awesome!

By trying to convince us that "none of that is photography" in regards to some Tim Bradstreet art? What a crock! You think that's all freehand with no photo reference? He's a damn TRACER!
Thus endeth the rant, as they say. -
The Humongous Millennium Falcon From Master Replicas. 4.5 grand in Aussie dollars (which translates to about 3.5 U.S. when you guys pay 2.2) so we'll never afford it - and that's the cheap non-Harrison Ford signed one!
-
I went over to Toys "R" Us today, to take advantage of there annual buy 2 games get 1 free deal. (I bought three bullshit titles and will just exchange them when the big guns come out in a few weeks.)I took a gander at the selection of action figures they have, something I haven't done in awhile, and something really ticked me off. There was this super cool $16.99 Marvel Masterworks 12inch Captain America figure, but the fucker had no mask!!! Not even a interchangeable head or snap on helmet!L-A-M-E!!!I would've totally bought it too.
-
Oh yeah - that 1:1 Terminator (can't remember if it's Master Replicas or Sideshow Collectibles) rocks too.
