So with us all putting together wishlists for the Secret Satan thread and Black Friday approaching us in three or so weeks I felt we could have a nice thread on gadgets, gifts and general recommendations for this holiday season.
Be it video games!
Toys!
Clothing!
Either way we must hunker together and protect ourselves during this dangerous time unless we want this to happen?

I am not a person who endorses buying things online
But I certainly endorse it for Black Friday
It makes things so much easier
That being said I do like going to the stores in the afternoon when after the bruhaha has died down and look through the small items that might be worth picking up
Gonna be at home during this shit, taking my camera and making a series of photos called "Riding Dirty: Black Friday." It will focus solely on disgruntled walmart patrons riding hover-rounds. I will use edge-tension as much as possible to communicate that said patrons are just too large to capture completely.
Really in the afternoon, it's not that bad
No different than any other weekend
The weekend before Christmas though
That is shit all damn day
This.
2 years ago, I went with family to see a movie in theaters the weekend before Christmas.
Holy. Jesus.
An hour and a half just to exit the parking lot to get out of the theater. Plus another hour just trying to leave the mall parking lot.
Now everybody around me knows why I give gifts every day of the year. Because fuck trying to do anything the week before Christmas. You can't even go into my local mall, let alone get out.
I worked at Circuit City for a Black Friday. It's called Black Friday because that is the color of the SOULS OF HELL'S ARMY THAT RISE TO DEVOUR ANY RESEMBLANCE OF HUMANITY.
This year I am just sending 99% cards that say "I am 99% sure that I am too broke to send you anything but this card telling you I am broke. Merry Christmas!"
I'll probably put antlers on my dog and take a picture and put it on the cover.
It's funny because he isn't a real reindeer.

I absolutely love the entire conception of Black Friday. A whole day devoted to pure, ungodly capitalism wherein ordinary people become animals in pursuit of materialistic goods.
I personally will be going this year to Best Buy with my best friend simply to engage in the process. I don't even need anything, I just want to put myself in the middle of that battle.

I worked retail during black friday for two years.
Back then I still interacted with my family. My aunt at the time was bragging about how she saved nearly 200 dollars.
"Great, how long did it take?"
I think I shopped for 16 hours.
"And how long did it take you to prepare?"
I spent a week or so... maybe 4 or 5 hours a day.
"So lets be conservative and say 14 hours total. So you spent 30 hours of your time, to save 200 dollars. That's under 7 bucks an hour."
But... it's money I saved!
"Indeed. But you've set your value at 6.75 an hour. That's minimum wage. You could have worked at McDonalds and been every bit ahead. More so."
Maybe she enjoyed doing it more than working at McDonald's
The kind of person that would enjoy the ravenous throngs of bargain shoppers clawing each other for 20% off barbies?
These will be the first sent to the death camps when I rise to power.
Black Friday Gulags
The first three hundred people into the store are funneled towards trap doors which empty into reinforced shipping containers. The next fifty people are mangled by clogged trap doors
Do you like my photos? The stupid things I say? The way I am alive? You can contribute to that staying the same through the following link

Black Friday has gotten ridiculous. This year stores are considering opening at midnight. You know, fuck those of us that work in retail. We didn't want to enjoy the holiday with our families. People need shitty deals on garbage products. That's what the majority of Black Friday has become. Most of the deals aren't even worth it anymore.

Word. Granted I did buy stuff on Black Friday once but I was working at the store at the time.

MoA isn't far either
I'd tell you what the point is, but you don't have a telescope strong enough to see that far above your head

And then it dies down considerably

Take things from carts, put them in other carts.

Or at least some half-off vidjas
I wont be able to go out though

Yes it is
Though for sheer anger and distress I'd still go with the weekend before Christmas
Everyone is mega stressed
Really people get too worked up about Black Friday
It's more of it concentrates the crazy into a couple hours instead of the whole day
Amazon Wishlist: http://www.amazon.com/BusterK/wishlist/3JPEKJGX9G54I/ref=cm_wl_search_bin_1
is it that time of the year already?
Oh yeah, the weekend and few days before Christmas the customers are definitely angrier
but the day after Christmas is nonstop people
Target, Macy's and some others are opening at midnight.
GameStop has been doing this for a couple of years
