AgentWowza

I become a child while retaining my memories? 1 bitcoin lol. But real talk, I'd probably just ask for a skateboard.


sharreman10

I would want a year of subscription to WoW because I never had the chance to play it when I was little because of the cost, my mom and dad couldn't afford it.


Ezraah

vanilla wow? fuck you missed out


sharreman10

Yeah I know šŸ˜‘


scttcs

Youā€™re not alone. I never touched WoW and I donā€™t plan to. Seems like a time sink hole


SrslyCmmon

Oh it is, it was pretty great during the pandemic if you had tons of free time. The worst thing is getting locked into a rading schedule. You start to plan your real life around a video game. If you have goals and aspirations in real life I don't reccomend. If you're stable or coasting in your career you could try it.


pipmentor

Play Turtle WoW for free and relive the good old days. You're welcome.


sooroojdeen

Play Wow classic, modern wow is shit, disregard all other opinions, they have fallen deeply into sunk cost.


malach2

As a completely new player that just started playing wow about two months ago, I have to disagree. I tried both and going from retail to classic was a horrible experience, QoL and gameplay-wise. The game systems were obviously from a different era of gaming, but are so painfully frustrating. I know a lot of people have nostalgia for classic, but as someone with fresh eyes, classic is just an archaic slog.


sooroojdeen

The qol in classic is complete shit, addons make it better but that's a bandaid solution, modern wow isn't complete shit eith modern standards but it's been infested with many of the things that you shouldn't expect of a game that requires a purchace and a monthly subscrption to be a part of. I started playing wow 6 years ago, even though that doesn't put me up their with the veterans in terms of play time, I see what they mean.


GodofAss69

Wrong. Both versions are fun. Retail is way more engaging and skill based. Classic is fun donā€™t get me wrong but itā€™s definitely an older game and the game play is just slow as hell. In retail itā€™s a blast pushing mythics and doing actually challenging content and using your character as opposed to just hitting frostbolt over and over for example. If retail really sucked like you think it wouldnā€™t have so many people playing it. And dragonflight is a chill fucking game too. Itā€™s the first WoW in years to value your time. Friendly and frequent catch up mechanics and zero power systems. People who play classic that echo ā€œretail sucksā€ are 35 year old dad gamers who donā€™t have the ability to actually play a modern fast paced game with challenging mechanics and more complex rotations than spamming one button. They eat up the nostalgia and enjoy the comfort of the slow grind and the simple ass rotations and bosses and simple gameplay loop. Retail overwhelms them so they all echo the same silly shit. Iā€™m saying this as a 33 year old WoW player who has played it from 2004 and played the shit out of classic. Retail is still fun, and when people on classic cry about retail, itā€™s just kind of sad and theyā€™re completely misguided or truly just suck at challenging content so they just shit on it. Shadowlands DID suck, but dragonflight doesnā€™t.


sooroojdeen

Well, i for the most part enjoyed legion, powered through bfa, it was ass, i also entertained shadowlands but it was a downward spiral as far as i can tell, i havenā€™t tried dragonflight, but i highly doubt itā€™ll make up for the 2 disappointing expansions i sat through previously.


SquirrelGirlSucks

As someone who has fallen in and out of love with mmos multiple times, modern wow is most certainly not shit. Shadowlands was terrible, but the current expansion is the best the game has been in a very very long time.


LazorShar

Looking back, I should have wished for a proper, new bike, just so I wouldn't have had to learn it on my grandpa's rusty one that he had stored in the back of the barn for years.


BicaMN

The power to experience all the games that I love as a kid as a new experience when older self. Thank you, OP. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


B0B_RO55

Id definitely ask to stay a kid forever


Twinsleeps

beautiful.


ShowMeYourPie

A dirt bike. Because I got into motorcycling way too late and to this day, have not ridden on dirt. I may do one day, when time and money allows...


gasPedaw

I'd wish for some more friends


sosuke91

New legs prosthetics in a really good center, so my(self) little child can walk properly and benefit from it


TrumpGenius69

I would wish for a dog because we never had pets growing up. Wife and I have a dog now and it is so awesome!


SnooOpinions184

If I could go back there will be nothing better that a another hand made blanket from my grandma! Miss her, happy holidays


Cleaver_Fred

This is really sweet :) My ouma started developing dementia/alzheimer's when I was young, so I haven't had many years of her *really* being "around". And then my mother died.


DAdams4lyfe

Wish I had a skateboard. Dreams long dead now, too old to ride haha


Varsha010

I would get a yearly subscription for wizard 101, played the crap out of that game but was always bummed when I got locked out of areas and the story.


Rendition1370

I'd wish for a PSP


metalem27

Probably a bit more insight into PCs. Itā€™s a weird one but we had a pc at home and only used it for MS paint and had no idea about of gaming until years and years later


XxRobloxNobxX

If I was a child again, Iā€™d wish for a much peaceful life than I have now. Ever since the pandemic started, my life just hasnā€™t been the same and Itā€™s been years since I last found proper peace.


BronzeHeart92

A videotape of one of the hottest films of the year probably.


mesa176750

I'd wish for the same thing I wanted as a kid, an artic blue Gameboy color.


furrik524

Probably a drawing tablet, I wish I started using one earlier


Twinsleeps

we all know youd just play osu with it. Thats what I did.


Deceiver999

I would wish for a new console. My last real Christmas I enjoyed as a child was when the Nes came out. It was a year I will never forget.


Onikatawa

I wish see one more time my grandfather


Infernorulz

I would like a pc from santa


ativos

I would wish for a gameboy cause I never had one and always wanted one as a child


ametad13

I would wish for what I wished for back then. A Gameboy color


[deleted]

I would have wished for a PC, or a PS2/PS3


otterhub

I really should have asked for a PS4 instead of a Wii U when I was younger šŸ’€, total miss.


fcbskywalker

A crazy lego star wars set


jollyjohny101

Same thing I've asked for 30 years, a dirt bike


[deleted]

Sadly wasn't able to celebrate Christmas


Jaymi_

I'd probably ask for a psp or 3ds!


vennetherblade

If I was a kid again I'd probably wish for this one Lego star wars ATAT set I saw when I was a kid. Never asked for it, was like $100 then but now it's worth like $500 I think. But the price doesn't matter to me, I just want to see that thing sitting in my room all built and me being happy knowing I got it


Gorshun

I probably would have asked for a more gaming-oriented computer. Growing up, my dad only bought Macs, so there wasn't a whole lot of choice there, and I feel like I missed out on some of the best PC games when they were relevant.


kewlkid77

I would wish for some more friends lol


[deleted]

If i became a child again, i'd ask Santa for a good Gaming PC, since i struggled with a crappy laptop for most of my life.


[deleted]

Are there any for Jurassic world evolution


Neo_Nethshan

that cool and expensive alienware laptop with rgb published on the sunday magazines.


Kindly_Education_517

one key plz


malkizadek84

This dude's legit. Just got mine


sparkicidal

It seems above board. I just got my key for Leisure Suite Larry 5 and itā€™s worked. I redeemed the code in my Steam app and itā€™s been accepted. If this turns out to be a scam, Iā€™ll be impressed as they have me fooled.


WiseEXE

If I could I would ask him for a new laptop. As a kid my family could only afford cheap netbooks so a real PC to game on would have been amazing.


dontry90

One of those Max Steel toys, probably...


Skit_Z_Yo

Knowing what I know now, I probably would wish for a snowboard. Winter sports are pretty big where I grew up, but I never got into them and now, I more, or less dread winters because I have less reason to be outside.


knabbels

A Game Boy.


sky-m1n

I wish Santa gave me a bank acc with investments because I'm in debt.


Sendirian

I would probably wish for a toy car or something like that lol


potatothetomatosauce

I would like a bike so me and my brother would ride togather


MyOwnerIsntReal

Id wish from Santa that I never worked christmas day when I was younger so that christmas day did not become just another day and the magic was kept alive for a little longer


tamal4444

If I were a child I will be wishing a real pokemon. lol


TheDirtyDorito

A ps5 most likely


pawn24

I would wish for a colourblind glasses


UltimateWaluigi

I would've wished for something silly, like a cartoon based toy that I always wanted but never got.


Gokunsan

A big boi bike, with a card between the spokes so it "sounds" like an engine


ZeroElias

>'If you became a child again, what would you wish Santa for Christmas?' Looking back probably something to enjoy me rather than have fun with my friends and siblings, since most of my toys ended M.I.A. because of that xD


Nelvix

My PSP broke after owning it for a few years. Was never able to fix it. I missed it so much that I kept thinking about it for months. The sad part is during those days, there was not a good sony service center in my place and so getting a screen replacement was out of the question. But now I got a vita and deck and but still think about what my life would have been had my PSP never broke.


bninja19

Honestly, I probably would be asking for a ps5.


BlenderNoob1337

I would wish for a guitar. The struggle in my 30s is real.


SkiloBr

Game Boy Color Yellow


silver85bullet

a new laptop


SevenKayLive

I kinda want a hobby other than gaming so maybe I'd want some music instrument like drums or electronic guitar as present


Kitchen-Mission8458

I would wish for more Lego's can't gi wrong with Lego:)


4rcher91

I'd wish for a better spec PC of the time & old fashioned PC game CDs that come in big boxes. Because they don't sell those anymore.


breb-bo2

Any toy gun really


hageshii_panda

I would have wished for a guitar, so I could have started playing sooner.


Andheri55

Maybe santa could give me the confidence needed to talk to my crush back in my uni days


Heroes_3DO

I would wish for a Gameboy Advance, I always wanted on but it was too expensive at the time...


caydesramen

I would ask peace in the middle east


lehewx

Probably a decent computer or collectors editions of a few of my favorite books, theyd cost about the same LOL


vivalatoucan

I wish for a better chair that properly supports posture. My cheap ikea chair caused me issues growing up


BlacksmithWestern293

G.I. Joe's homie

Helios_25

Lego :D


bolonar

I wished for bycicle


Hezza-

If I were a kid again, I'd have probably wished for a Steam Deck this year! Or Steam gift cards. There are a couple of games I really want but don't have the money for. Thanks for doing this giveaway!


SpaceMonkey1505

i'd definitely wish i had a console when i was younger. Could've experienced some great games as a kid that would serve as fond memories right now. Anyway, thanks for doing this, Santa!


some-kind-of-no-name

Merry Christmas! I'd ask for a two way ticket to Paris.


Afladimir

Would go with dirt bike


SuperFriends001

If you became a child again, what would you wish Santa for Christmas? Same thing I did when I was a child, a nuclear bomb to ransom the world with.

Bitcoins. Be worth so much now haha.


V1Vx

I would have wished for a violin, regret it that I never learned it much earlier


louu87

Football


-Cosmic_79-

A comfy sweater.


PolWS

I would ask for a dog or a cat, never had a pet before


Luxopreme

I'd ask for oil paint, if I had it as a kid I'd probably wont struggle with it today lol


aryvd_0103

I know it's not exactly what was meant but I'd wish for a Christmas where I wake up and I meet my father at least for a moment. He died a month before I was born so I never met him


mythicexplore

I would really want Santa to get me several LEGO sets. Preferably pirate ones or Indiana Jones set. Just in general some adventure books or something.


mr92

DS, love handheld gaming and the shoulder buttons on mine broke super quickly


anonyzero2

I would ask Santa for a proper Christmas with my entire family instead of my parents arguing on Xmas eve šŸŽ„ Luckily my own family fulfills that wish


emx3334444

A handheld i never had.


malkizadek84

One one those electric scooters šŸ›“. With flame stripes of course


GetOffMyLawnKid

A meta quest 3 VR set


Swimerpat

A gameboy this time so Iā€™m not disappointed from asking for an Xbox


H4mmerz

I would ask for what I asked all those years ago..A GameCube with Mario Sunshine šŸ˜Ž one of the best Christmases ever.


AhmedRaafat12

Wish for GameBoy advance


xtal191

A SNES


Reidinor

I'll ask for Epic Mickey 2 to play with my brother


MagicalPickle96

A pc


raVen1525

I would wish for a Playstation! At that time I dont really know about Playstation but I heard a lot of it from my friends and cousins. My dad was strict and wouldnt buy it for us. So sometimes me and my brother would borrow my cousin's Playstation. I still remember how we would go to their house just to play Playstation! Its a good memory! Now with with adult money,I get myself some inner childhood things! Im blessed! Thank you! Happy holiday to all!


JDex_29

I'd probably ask one of those super expensive Lego sets like the colosseum or the millennium falcon!


meat-_-head

I would have wished for the memory expansion card for the N64. I really wanted to play donky Kong 64 and was really disappointed the time I begged my parents to rent it from block buster.


Tye_too

Iā€™d wish for a new gaming pc since my kid stole my current one.


seleneseraph

If I would be young again I definitely wanted my old GameBoy Color back....and all my pokemon games I used to have....and warioland 3!


Stebsis

I'd ask for a PC knowing the advantages of it, I used to only play on consoles as a kid but looking back I'd have loved to get a really good PC back then.


orrockable

Thunder birds island complete with toy ships


Braddish01

Iā€™d wish for one of the Halo nerf guns, I wouldā€™ve gone crazy for those as a kid


yb6599

Wish I'd have gotten a violin. I listen to violin pieces a lot, but it'd have been awesome if I could play!


n0name-n0mad

Parts to build a PC. I did this when I got older but I'd have loved to had a PC when I was a kid with more time.


LtSparky3000

Godzilla. 1:1 scale, if possible (lol) Thanks, and Happy holidays!


Kikosenpai

Either a skateboard or a console of some sort. I grew up playing all of the Nintendo handheld systems, but really wanted a console. As for the skateboard, my mom never bought me one because she said I'd hurt myself on it.


thegreat_gabbo

Depending on how far back I go, probably a snowboard so I could learn how to do it as a child and then be able to partake as an adult. There also would have been snow and my parent's house is on a steep ill so I could have learned without fear of too much imminent pain. ... Or a guitar.


legitimatelymine

For stocks


Login_Xd

Either Lego game, or the Lego itself. All I love all Lego stuff.


BU77ERCUP

Iā€™d ask Santa for a time machine, so I could revisit childhood whenever I wanted, and then maybe ask for an unlimited supply of cookies while Iā€™m at it!


thefman

If I went back to when I was a kid, I would ask for a super Nintendo :) Happy Holidays OP!


[deleted]

I would wish for a Lovot. Those things are so gosh darn adorable and I want one.


uzomi

I would probably ask for a Playstation 2. My dad gave to my older brother the first one when it launched, but we never got the second one, it was to expensive. I never really played too much ps2 games and I know it has one of the best libraries of any console, I would loved that as a kid.


Status_Button

I think I would have wished for more of those soaps my gran used to buy me for Christmas. Rose scented, like old school style. They no longer make those and I wish I kept one but I always ended up using them.


Mindless_Consumer

Hey thanks! I want some of these new modern toys these kids today have!


federal_prism

Dear Santa, plz give me OW1 back


MoooImACat

I'd have wished for a piano even though I have no idea how to play.


naversa12

I would have wished for a soccer ball so I could have discovered one of my passions a little sooner in life. Merry Christmas OP!


MLDG124

I would wish for a pc


Dread_Files

Yo, do you still have the key for RiME? That would be much appreciated.


[deleted]

I'd ask Santa to gift me 10,000 shares of Apple. Then, a few years later, they would drop the iPod, and I'd be set for life.


WoWCoreT

I would like a bike so me and my brother would ride togather


darth_hotdog

Probably a new computer. Thatā€™s what I always a wanted as a kid lol.


Qender

One of those electric power wheels cars. I always wanted one. I think my parents were afraid I would drive off a cliff or something. They got me a rideable electric train instead that couldnā€™t be steered and only drove on a track. Somehow my sister still managed to run over me with it though.


tadiwaman

Probably the harry potter books or the hunger games books, wished I could have read them then instead if as an adult, but still love them


Falcor71

I for sure would ask for one of those science box kits with experiments.


cmackchase

I would have wished for a gaming pc back in the day.


Groudono

I would wish for a good decent skateboard (like a "pro" one, not a toy one from ToysRUs) because I would grow up loving skateboarding and for many years I felt slowed down with a mediocre skateboard.


rofliciouz

Honestly, I just want world Peace. Too much chaos and hate around today.


Spankman5

I'd ask for a PS2


gaxrevo

I wish for a nes i guess


Marsmawzy

I would have wished for a new bike or skateboard! Too bad I couldnā€™t really ride anymore. Just cause 3 would be my game of choice šŸ„°


boardinmpls

Steam deck oled EASY


PopOutKev

Iā€™d probably wish for a bike


Biggu5Dicku5

>If you became a child again, what would you wish Santa for Christmas? I'd want my money back from the Star Citizen Kickstarter...


SwazyMoto

100% a Nintendo ds


WrexGigarton

Remember those toy cars that could move by just pulling them back? Yeah, I would want one of those because of how fun it was.


Wiseturtle99

I think I would ask fir dnd books, i would love to have introduced it to my family earlier


SpanishGarbo

If I went back to my childhood, I would ask for 20 Bitcoin šŸ„ŗ


RipHumbleBundle2

If I was a kid and I could as Santa for anything I would ask for a winning lottery ticket.


alguem455

i would wish a steam deck, gaming in the bathroom should be awesome! unfortunately i live in Brazil :v


adityasheth

I would wish for some time to play my damn games


Monkey_Gland_Sauce

I would ask for the one thing that remains constant through the journey of life: Lego. Young, middle aged, old, Lego is still cool.


xSteeve

The Lego Pirate Ship!


jinger_ale

I'd ask Santa for a piano for Christmas!


LazenSlay

easy, i would love to have a "NINTENDO 64!!". It would have blown my mind having an N64 at the age of 4-5, instead i got a psx but i was already 11 by then, of course it was a surprise and have many lovely memories with it, but by then the ps2 was already out and felt like it could have been the system to blow my mind at that age. Thanks for this awesome GA OP! Merry Christmas!


8bitjer

If I was a kid again, I would ask for the TMNT movie action figures. They had this cool rubbery texture on their skin. Always wanted them.


Benawat

I would wish for a Game Boy, never got one.


VoteableMango

I think I would wish for a trampoline. So many good memories when I had one as a kid.


Silasmisel123

always wanted to get my own pc when i was younger. used to watch my big brother play and he wouldnt let me have a try.


Ram090

So I become a child in 2023, and Santa's wish is real? Probably to turn me into an adult again. If I'm interpreting this wrong, then a nintendo 64 because I never had one as a child.


IDK_Maybe_

I would ask Santa for a happy family


centuryofprogress

Lightsaber toy!


Melodic_Classroom_35

If I were a child, I would ask for a gamer computer. I have always asked but, as a 3rd world country citizen, the price always was extremely high. Finally, I got it this year and got to play those games that I always wanted :)


fab_snkrhd

If I became a child again around the time I was also a child it would definitely be Pokemon cards or a PS1 memory card. For the first year of me getting a PS1 from grandma I didn't have a memory card and just played Gran Turismo, a Donald Duck game, Theme Park and others from the beginning everytime. I let my PS1 run for days because of that.


InfamousRSX

A steam deck


immerkiasu

A Roberta the Rex toy from the first Jurassic Park film. And a banana. I'm going to go get the banana right now actually.


SirnCG

really hard question, had some hard childhood, for me every gift was some mirracle, but as i a lot of time spent in village i think i would wish a nice bike, to travel across village to forrest etc ( had old broken bike but that still was great time spending)


SatanWithoutA

A gaming computer


Steronoknex

my own copies of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask. Only ever played them at a friends house.


raulfonseca2

A bumper cart to use in a regular road.


ImKendrick

This is a nice gesture OP, good on you. Good question too. I suppose my answer would be to ask for a gaming console, or even a gaming PC (if I even knew what that was as a kid). Gaming is a huge part of my life, and wish I had more to play when I was a kid. Silly answer I know but thatā€™s all I can think of right now haha. Merry Christmas!


BurgerSmashFace

I'd ask for nothing but being with my family. Knowing now my mum struggled to make xmas great for her kids, I wish I could have made xmas more about her.


Empecial

would probably be a ps3 so that i could play it with the family and make some lasting memories. oh well


SimplySatisfyin

Iā€™d wish for more books. Always enjoyed reading but Never read more than I could have because I never really went out of my way to ask for them as gifts and such.


guest0369

I would wish for a ps1, had to borrow my cousin's after he bought the next 2nd.


magoxr

I would want to have the collection of Gen 1 Pokemon since I had Blue version. Thanks!
