Question Posted Saturday December 13 2003, 10:50 am
One of my best friends is a hacker-gamer who, I suppose, can get anything he wants. He's a loner and a cranky brilliant sort of guy. Thing is, I dont know what to give him for Yuletide giving--it's illegal for me to buy a gun, even though that would please him, and I can't afford a motorcycle. I want to give him something good. Anyone have any suggestions?

That way, you can get one in the amount of the gun you think he may want, and HE can go buy it. But hell, you can't go wrong with a motorcylcle :)
Now THAT'S what I call a best friend. [ OneMan's advice column | Ask OneMan A Question ]

A bunch of blank cd's and disks to say all the wonderful games he's hacked ;) I think that would suit him... get the ones with cases though...

If he's a sweet, fizzy caffeine type, maybe a few bottles of Bawls, some ice packs and a little insulated lunchbag (in black or camouflage, of course) would be good.
