I bet we fooled you. You saw all of those console-specific gift guides rolling out, all of those reviews, and you probably thought we had kicked our outsider ways.

You thought that maybe we had forgotten our roots of obscene nicety and sublime naughtiness. You were wrong.

Here for your second year of enjoyment, hot from Kotaku Tower, comes the year's It list for gaming goodies. Sure, you can ask for a copy of a game, but wouldn't you rather have a rubber stamp fit for a gaming President, a jacket fit for a underground Street Fighter, or maybe an underground secret lair?

By the way, in case I didn't mention it, I'm going to the Funde Razor event in Denver with a pile of goodies for prizes, as I'm a gamer and a Responsible Adult now. If that's not enough guilt-driven fun raising for you, don't forget to buy a few raffle tickets for our own Toys for Tots drive. I mean, here's a gift guide that has some great buys, but there's nothing in there that gives you the wholesome, altruistic feeling that you might just win an incredible Smooth Creations gaming machine, or like, some other awesome prizes.

That not enough prize zealotry for you? Check out the web-ring of HP givaways that our friends at Geek.com are taking part in.
