1. a joystick with enoug extra buttons to make it so i never have to tough keyboard or mouse when flying.
Stop flying
Joystick FTW. Might take you some getting to used to, but, once you do, you'll wonder how you ever did without it. It's like learning to mouse vs. just using the keyboard for movement.
4. a mouse that uses the little light sensor instead of a ball
You're still using a mouse with a ball? Definitely time to upgrade. Never having to clean that little bastard (other than the top from all the finger-jam) makes it worthwhile.
I would like for someone to come out with a mouse that has all of the features the high end ones do, but for lefties. All you righties make me jealous being able to use your fancy $100 meeses.
For Christmas, I am getting a Razer Diamondback. That's the only 'sort of BF2' related item on my list.
* The level-loading times and server browser of COD2
* The depth and breadth and vehicles of BF2
* The maturity in players of CIV4 or AOEIII
* The pure fun-factor of Bomberman
* Kiera Knightley.
1. A computer or the parts to make a beast computer to actually play BF2.
2. All the booster packs for BF2
3. G5 mouse, Zboard with BF2 keyset, and a joystick.
god forbid that we leave the CHRIST in christmas but o well anything jesus related is politically incorrect unless its on south park.
Christ's birthday was actually celebrated as January 6th during the early times of the Romans.
Sextus Julius Africanus eventually came up with the idea that Christ was born on December 25th, since this day is exactly 9 months after the assumed date of Christ's Incarnation, and the assumed date of Christ's crucification.
In reality, "Yule" (A pagan name for Christmas, which we still use today) was actually a Baltic pagan holiday, that didn't truly become a 'christian thing' until Charlemagne was crowned king on December 25th, 800 A.D, even in spite of Africanus' attempts.
Even since it became a christian thing, it still took another 500 years before it became mainstream and widely celebrated. Before then only the 12 days of christmas (December 26th, until January 6th, also known as Advent) were celebrated. January 5th was known as the day of Christ's Mass at this time, and was the origination of the name of "Christmas" (Christ's mass, durr.) The fourtieth day since December 25th which was widely known as the birth of Christ by this time, was Candle Mass.
"Christmas" on december 25th itself wasn't celebrated until the 1370's. It was still known as Yule by this time, and it was mainly just an excuse for English people to go around and get drunk. Hence the constant references to, "Yule-time merriment, and mindless caroling." (Also note that the English at this time were often looked down upon by their Roman-Catholic peers in the Holy See for this practice.)
The idea of Gift Giving was also originated in Britain during the day of Yule, since it was quite common for Alcohol, and Food to be given to guests during this holiday.
LOOOOOOONG after those two great schisms, and the reformation, causing the endless fracture of the Christian Faith, Christmas eventually became the beacon holiday of the Christian faith, in an attempt to lure old followers back to the faith from the Protestants, the Puritans, the Baptists... everyone...
It eventually evolved into the Christmas that we know today, with a capitalist twist thanks to America's powerful influence over Christianity.
Irregardlessly, Christmas was never really a Christian Holiday. Even then, the real birth of Christ is unknown to humans. December 25th is just a convenient date that we all simply blindly believe because an organized religion deems it so.
Christmas is a secular holiday, which is why it appeals to all religions equally. Even after organized religion long becomes obselete and dissapears from the memory of human kind, Christmas will be around... simply because it makes sense.
Everybody needs a guaranteed day off of work, so they can spend huge gobs of money on useless trinkets, chocolate and booze.

Regardless is the word. Anyway, historians and anthropologists assume/speculate Jesus of Nazareth's birthday to be some time in late spring or early summer since the sheppards followed a star (assuming the Torah/Old Testament is a historic document). Sheppards would not be out with their flocks in December. Oh, and the Roman Catholics replaced the pagan Roman holiday of Saturnalia with Christmas.
I don't think that Christmas is a secular holiday, aside from the day off work. And "Christmas... simply makes sense"? I don't get it.
