/co/ Christmas Cheer & Secret Santa thread #8

Alright Anons put a $5 or less item on your lists, the why will become obvious soon

Once more, with feeling:
For those of you who weren't here the last couple of years, I did various Christmas contests and would gift someone who I arbitrarily chose as the winner. I intend to keep that tradition alive this year.

I decided to get started with a (relatively) big challenge: Write a Christmas story featuring /co/ characters. Maybe Lex Luthor decides he hates Santa because he challenges human superiority. Maybe the Flash has to sub in for Santa one night and deliver presents around the world (has that been done? That must have been done before). It doesn't have to be long, just something short and simple, but the more Christmas special-y the better. If you're a drawfag and want to draw it out instead, that's fine too.

Send your submissions to [email protected]. Or you can post them in the thread, but just make sure I see them. I'll give everyone until Sunday afternoon to put something together, so don't feel rushed. At the end I'll share them with the thread and crown a winner. Make sure to include your wishlist with your submission.

This is still my favorite /co/ holiday picture. I don't know why it cracks me up so much every time.

Can someone explain to me what this whole "Chris Miss" thing is?

In as whimsical a way as possible?

>>77912841
Hmm, I might try that. It'll give me something to think about at work tomorrow.

I just finished reading volume 2 of Flash last night, which I'd been working through off and on all year. He really elevated to one of my favorite heroes. What a great character with some really great arcs.

Hey awesome christmas thread, just wanted to let you all know that tomorrow night, due to popular demand and my own sadomasochism, I'm going to be re-running TITANS: VILLAINS FOR HIRE as a storytime of pain. It's a memorable trainwreck continuing on the wonderful plot threads from Rise of Arsenal. 7 PM CST, here, on /co/.

TVW7WISDYXRS

Accidentally posted this in the old thread. WHOOPS.

This is my first time running a contest in here so let's see how this goes.

SO I really love Christmas songs, but I don't know about you guys but I get REALLY SICK of hearing the same goddamn songs over and over again on these radio stations around the holidays. So I sat down and recorded some more obscure Christmas carols and hymns and want to see how many you guys recognize.

GUESS ALL FOUR SONGS CORRECTLY AND WIN A FABULOUS PRIZE! (max $$$ limit of 40 dollars)

Scarborough Fair, a song inspired by Piano Man, I have a musical box that plays this but I don't know it's name, and I'm pretty sure I sung this for choir when I was in high school

Well I don't think I'm getting the prize but it was nice to hear christmas songs you don't hear every day in december, so thanks piano anon!

I'm so awful at carrying a tune, so even when comparing songs side by side I have to be like "hang on, is this the same?"

Great piano playing, though.

>>77914679
The PS2 Ateliers work fine; Annie DS is also an option, and the PS3/Vita titles are hella cheap.

If Gust's Ar Tonelico games are uncomfortably lewd (but still decent or better), Atelier is pure as fresh snow.

Also since it's been a few threads.

It doesn't help that a lot of Christmas music sounds similar anyways.

>>77914679
Persona is really different from it IMO. I'm honestly not that into JRPGs. The ones I've played are probably:

Shenmue
Shenmue 2
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga
Persona 4 Golden
Pokemon series (if it counts)

>>77914761
I have zero PS3 or Vita, but a DS game that could be had cheaply is relevant to my interests. I kind of assumed that the PS2 games were OOP and obscenely overpriced

Several of the songs I have in my Christmas hymn repertoire of the "hey let's take another older song and slap new lyrics on top of the tune".

For those of you stuck on the fourth song, you can consider that a hint.

>>77914811
Oops, forgot Nier and Dark Souls, but I haven't completed either.

>>77914844
It's not the Huron Carol, right?

>>77914824
The DS game is rare, IIRC, but the PS2 Ateliers had a big print run and aren't unreasonable. You never know until you look, small print runs are typically the scary ones.

Nope. The tune is traditionally thought to be of siciilian origin, and it was a popular Marian hymn in the Catholic church before they put different English lyrics on it to make it a "Christmas" song. In fact, it's probably still more strongly associated with the original version than the Christmas version.

AND you're a Rider fan. Good stuff, Piano Anon. That picture is what made Tajador my favorite.

Growing up, my mom would always play the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas CDs in the car at Christmas time, so the first three are forever ingrained in my head.

Shit, I should donate my win since I've already been gifted, but I can't help but selfishly feel that I've earned this since I struggle so much with tune carrying. 3RNEI9917FCUK. But if you would prefer to go for an ungifted anon instead, I will gladly endorse that decision.

Tajador + Effects parts is the highlight of my figure collection. Love him. Not going to lie, though, Ghost is cutting it close. The bad belt knocks it down a peg though. Meteor is also a close second.

>>77915279

Meteor's suit looks pretty cool but the asymmetry of it always bugged me a bit. There's a lot of Rider designs I'd love to have figuarts to sit on my bookshelves though.

>>77915198
Added what >>77915188 Said, Saga, Looks interesting.

>>77915198
The spanish anon it's me, I meant to say that it was really poorly translated, but now I realized santa has elfs so it makes more sense. (Santa isn't very popular around here, our gifts day it's on January 6th because of the Three Wise Men)

I got into Rider about halfway through Gaim, and have collected way too many Figuarts. Finally toned it down, though. I think I'm basically done. But I did preorder Ghost, and might grab Spectre. Might wait and see how the season pans out though. So far it's only okay.

But since I got gifted again, I might as well pay it forward. 1ARISLMZZ8M7Y you're going to get one of my favorite books.

I think W is a little overrated too, but it's still a lot of fun. Biggest problem I had with it is that the villains are a joke for most of the series.

I actually only got into the franchise earlier this year (Kuuga was my first) and now jumped off the slippery slope into figuarts collecting.

Man I have good memories of watching that with my cousins. The first time was around when my parents still thought we weren't old enough to watch stuff with swearing in it and my cousins were all like "nah screw that you have to see this".

Parents weren't too happy at first to find out we watched it, but it's become a tradition to see it every Christmas when the family gets together now.

The Yamaha digital piano keyboard I'm still playing on today.

I've had the damn thing for almost 14 years now and it hasn't given up on me yet.

It was supposed to be a present for all of us kids, but I'm the only one who really committed to piano (older brother doesn't play anymore, and little brother mostly plays the guitar now) so I inherited it when I moved out into my own place.

My parents love to tell a story about how there was this Power Rangers toy when I was a kid that I really wanted and they couldn't find it, and couldn't find it, and they kept going searching, and they were terrified it was going to ruin Christmas forever for me, but then my dad found it like the weekend before Christmas.

I don't really remember it, but I'm touched by the story. It also makes me wonder the lengths I'd go to get gifts for my kids, if I ever have any. I'm curious to hear Professor Zum or any other /co/ parents' thoughts on this.

When I was 10, I was crazy into Lord of the Rings, and asked for anything related to Gandalf. Christmas came, and I tore through my presents, finding no Gandalf themed presents. the "little shit" attitude was welling in me, but I'd accepted...Just at the very end, my mom pulls the old last present from behind the couch move. Box is about 6 ft long by 1 ft high. Excitedly I tear through it.

Let me say at this point the most expensive present I'd ever gotten was a PS1.

In the box, lies Glamdring, the sword of Gandalf from the Kings collection, a 300$ sword.

Nothing will ever match the joy in that nerdy little boy's heart that day.

It's a letter substitution game. You typically start by trying to figure out the easy small words, and you look at the others by looking for patterns like double consonants, etc.

>>77916070

There's always a Santa at my mall, it's pretty much the only decent-sized one within a two-hour radius around, so it gets a fair amount of traffic, especially around the holidays.

I know because I worked at the food court slinging pizzas around for four years.

>that one Christmas season when a squirrel chewed through the wires and blew out the power to the half of the mall with the food court in it
>we were the only ones who could serve food because the ovens ran on a gas pilot light
>had to feed hungry christmas shoppers with no registers to help us tally orders and no drinks other than bottled water

That was... interesting.

>>77915888
Mine will probably seem pretty strange, but I'll share. As a nerd into history and manga when I was in middle school, I was shocked when one Christmas I found a full run of Osamu Tezuka's Adolf hardcovers under the tree. One of the best series I have ever read, and as a bonus I can pretend that I'm sort of as cool as Korben Dallas.

Hoo boy, that's a toughie... i remember one year I got a toy castle with some Gargoyles action figures. That was a good Christmas. That might've been the last year my parents were still married, but it was still a good year. Another year, I got a Nintendo 64 with Mario Party, Bartok the Magnificent and six Beanie Babies, which I cherished. I think the beanie banies were an orangutan, a lion, a parrot, a mallard, a bison and a komodo dragon.

>>77915888
Here's another one that's not really a 'favorite surprise', but one year for Christmas my grandma gave me a block of wood and my brother a rock. She gave us other things too, but those were legitimate presents we received. She laughed her ass off when we opened them.

One year my aunt gave me a present, when I see the box I feel disappointed because the gift is a pair of boots, I open the box and... Final Fantasy IX, the game I wanted to play the most, was there. To this day FFIX is my favourite videogame.
