The joy of unwrapping a freaking cheap children's watch is upsetting, huh? Especially when you specifically ask for a smart watch...SIGH...Anyways, what was the worst gift you've ever gotten in your whole life?

My girlfriend bought me some used books one year that she thought looked interesting.

The thing is - they were not interesting - just old history books with outdated information.

In my opinion gifting someone a book you haven't read is in poor taste - it's like giving someone a box set to a tv show you know nothing about and hoping isn't trash - and expecting the other person to spend 10+ hours of their life figuring it out for you.

EDIT:

Not mine, but my brother asked Grandma for a "yu-gi-oh jinzo box tin" which comes with a bunch of booster packs and a Jinzo - she bought him a simple metal tin - probably cost her like $2.

"gets a gift on christmas"
I WANTED A SMART WATCH!!!! *cry cry*

Shiet OP, you sound like a spoiled 5 year old.

Be glad you get something.
Seems like OP doesn't know how much a smart watch costs.

Im fine with any gift. As long as its not stupid things like girls clothing, make up and stuff. Then that'll be the worst gift. Im a guy btw.

One year, I was gifted clothes I never wore instead of Gamecube.

Now, I can have all the Gamecube games I want, but can't DL clothes.

Life.
Wait till Molecular Assemblers come to existence. Then you can make all the Bugattis, Lamborghini's and Ferraris from the comfort of your home all you want. And all the clothing, food, entertainment and shelter you want. Nano Technology is improving and its coming fast. After Molecular Assemblers then next is increasing human life span, by finding a way to fix the telomerase problem. All this stuff is coming in the future.

I never liked asking for things for Christmas. If someone did give me something, great. If not, I wouldn't get upset over it. In addition to that, most people who did give me something always gave me books. Or chocolate. I like books and chocolate.

Lol I bought my girlfriend really expensive diamond earrings one year and in return she got me underwear, undershirts, and socks I kid you not. Needless to say that she's now my ex for completely unrelated reasons.

    @Xdqwerty, People who create revival services for the Wii end up in disaster, same goes for Pretendo lol.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
