The 10 worst geek gift ideas for the holidays

Sometimes it's not so obvious that something will make a horrible holiday gift (or just a grudgingly accepted one). That's why we're here to clear the air for you. Following are 10 tech-related products, which, while potentially tempting, you might want to rethink before wrapping up in red and green (or blue and silver, or whatever the colors for your holiday of preference happen to be). They aren't necessarily bad products, just not particularly apt choices for the holidays.

Everyone has this, Windows Vista is super popular !!

During this holliday season, don't let anyone dissuade you from getting a fresh minty copy of Windows Vista !!!

Skynetone6012d ago

my xp machine which is atleast five times less powerful loads in thirty seconds my vista takes about two and a half minutes

the only think i like with vista is the chess and solitaire

LeonSKennedy4Life6012d ago

Why not get someone Blu-ray and HD-DVD's??? They would WANT THEM!!!

Unlike the other products, Blu-ray discs and HD-DVD's are USEFUL!!!

Tsukasah6012d ago

@1 i hope you're being sarcastic... LINUX FTMFW!!

Anyways, almost all of these items except for a few weren't really geeky don't cha think? Some of them that are on there shouldn't even be on there. Perfect example, BluRay's and HDDVD's... And also... those USB devices are great :( I even asked for some for christmas... I already have a USB powered desklamp(i must say it gave me space for my N64 that's over here now, since I got a new HDTV that I can use for my TV, PS3, and now N64!!:P So yeah... those USB powered devices are quite useful!

Bonsai12146012d ago

i really want that USB nerf launcher. seriously. it looks so cool. haha.

i bought leopard for myself, and gave it as a "gift" to my friends over thanksgiving.

and i also bought planet earth on blu-ray for my parents...

Rice6012d ago

I wonder how much Ubisoft payed for this article to be written.

Skuletor2h ago

I wonder how much a AAAA journalist would cost too.

BeHunted2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Maybe it was Sony?

RhinoGamer884h ago

Does anyone have accurate gameplay numbers from Steam or PSN? I smell snow job...

Profchaos18m ago(Edited 16m ago)

I recall seeing a fairly low concurrent player base that was helped by the free trial (likely the metric they are using internally to push for season 2)

S2Killinit4h ago

If true, it goes to show that the negative press response was not reflecting reality. I personally thought omitting land traversal was a huge miss. But i also thought there was some things that were great about it. Lets see which story was true and which was made up (or worse, paid for)

Friendlygamer4h ago

No data just pr talk. The same site has an article talking about how the price of the game was slashed quickly post release, these sites treat us like fools lol

InUrFoxHole4h ago

What exactly is you're arguement? Did you read the article?

jjb19814h ago

They're right. There is no argument either. The game is a turd and Ubisoft is doubling down on that turd. It's all fancy PR talk with no actual substance. I don't know what "argument" you're looking for. I read the article. It sounds like Ubisoft asked for a redo on their "AAAA" "game". Trash game and trash company.

Friendlygamer3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Price decrease articles are typically made to make it seem like a gaming is flopping, they're often poorly researched and meaningless.
The article about the game thriving is also meaningless because it contains no data, it's basically corporate propaganda, even suicide squad is getting a season 2

In resume, not only this site plays both sides, it does it lazily and cynically because they don't care about quality, what they care about is clicks from us ( fools )

InUrFoxHole3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

@ jb
🤣 all it says is thanksfor the support. It's not like they're saying hey it's better than what you've seen come buy it. Lol you guys will whine about anything
@ Friendly
Gotcha when you referenced the other articles was like... uh doesn't that make it non biased? Basically you prefer stats with these articles or some sort of metric. I'm tracking. All I can say is... not everything is an amazing read or comment on n4g, lol. Game on!

Friendlygamer3h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Skull and bones TReMENDoUS ReSPoNSe. Prove it gaming journalist !! Prove it

jjb198146m ago(Edited 45m ago)

@InYourFaceHole Use all the emojis you need in order to feel better. Your latest comment is just a "save face" comment. Everybody knows you're a Ubisoft simp now. I hope you got what you wanted with your $190 Rare Earth Metal Ultimate Clandestine Epic Edge Lord Edition.

The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication Review - Cinematically Haunting - Games Horizon

The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication was incredibly scary, and would be considered a cinematic horror because of how well everything is done visually. There are many faults with it, but at least it's very scary.
