What would you recommend I get for my cousin for Christmas? I've got a few ideas, but am not sure which I should get him. I can spend $20 or maybe $30 tops on him. What do you guys recommend?
He's been getting more into role-playing and adventure games, so I've been considering Heavy Rain and Star Ocean. Last year I got him the first Metroid Prime, so I've considered following it up with the sequel. He's been trying to get into Resident Evil for years now, but has never really had a chance to play the good (pre-RE4) games, but now that he has a Wii with a GameCube controller, he can finally play the retro games. Though he might get more use out of the first Resident Evil book, so he can still experience Resident Evil without having to be at home.
I've really been considering Animal Crossing though too, either the 3DS game or the GameCube game. His sister and friends play Animal Crossing and he often finds himself bored at night, so this could give him something to do; plus he owns a 3DS that he doesn't have any games for. He also wants to go to Anime St. Louis, which is an anime convention in April, so a 3-day ticket might also be a good gift.
I've contemplated buying him Flying Free, since he wants to get more into politics and Nigel Farage is a great role model. Nigel Farage and the UKIP are also one of the main reasons I've gotten into politics, so it could also help bring him better himself as a civic citizen. Since he likes Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy XIV, I've considered Final Fantasy XIII as well. FFXIII isn't the best Final Fantasy games by any stretch, but given that it is simple and linear, I think that he'd like it, since he's still a beginner when it comes to JRPGs.

We know absolutely nothing about your cousin so how can you expect us to provide input?

Seeing as we don't know anything about your cousin, it'd be awfully hard to suggest something he may like.
http://www.thinkgeek.com/ has a bunch of funny things, if he'd be in to any of it, I don't know, but you would.

I hope you're joking, I have a ton of ideas, because I know him so well. I'm mostly torn between Heavy Rain and one of the Animal Crossing games. But he also wants to go to Anime St. Louis and doesn't know if he'll have the money, so I've been contemplating that as well.

buy him a $30 Hooker, He WILL remember that.
or if that's not an option, look at the steam sales, Buy a couple of games on there and gift them to him.
Better yet. Give him the money so he can put it to what he wants.

If you're thinking of pre-RE4 resident evils, I recommend the remake of RE1, it's awesome and probably the most modern/accessible of them. I'm sure you could pick it up for a song now.

If it's something he's mentioned, get him that. It doesn't get much easier than that. Originally Posted by Nakura Chambers

He didn't really say he wanted it though. He did ask me about it once though, because his roommate is always talking about the game and he didn't know anything about it. He's more of a RPG and FPS kind of guy though, so I'm not sure if he'd like it. Originally Posted by TradewindNQ

Get him a calendar.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

But seriously OP, come back in roughly 6/7 weeks.
Or failing that, get him a book with some novelty socks... What ever happened to a good book with those shitty socks for Christmas...

Get him the tickets. Going to a convention of something you love is one of the most exciting things you can do. I recently went to comic con and let me tell you it was one of the best experiences of my life.

Nigel Farage is a twat, so if your cousin is a twat as well, then buy him something that is likely to make him less twatish, not more. If your cousin isn't a twat, then don't tempt fate.
It's September.
I hope this helps.

How about you get him nothing and refuse to take part in perpetuating that debacle.
Nigel Farage is a boss. Originally Posted by Kalis
