My mid thirty year old son in law is having a birthday soon.
He is a computer programmer who works at home.
He is a gamer in his spare time.
Any birthday ideas? I don't want to spend more than 100. I also have to ship it cross country.
Thank you.

Lol 132 I want some kind of techie gift but if not this would be good. I used to get him Gamestop gift cards but he indicated that they had nothing new. He's in Florida. Everytime I send a piece of clothing he and my daughter say it is too warm for Florida. I do like the pizza idea. Thanks!! |

I really don't know but I think there is shooting. what do you think, catman? thanks Catman's never liked those multiplayer games. Maybe he'd like a change of sorts: The Talos Principle. It's a 3-D puzzle game where you wander through the various levels solving mazes to retrieve puzzle pieces so you can unlock further levels. There's a lot of philosophy and what not, and if you buy from Steam or Gog, the player receives achievement awards for accomplishing certain tasks (like finding all the computer terminals and opening all the texts).  Note that the cat doesn't appear unless you complete an Easter egg task in one of the levels.

She'll have an idea if this is something he'd like. sounds like something I would like!

I also have to ship it cross country. Thank you. I would not recommend a game for a gamer who says Game Stop has nothing new. But he's a computer geek, so just get him something he can always use. Flash drives are always useful, no matter how many you already have. They're also inexpensive and cost next to nothing to mail: www.amazon.com/HiXB-Flash-High-Speed-USB-2000GB/dp/B08T5VK9F9ps. I might just get one of those for myself now that I'm looking at it.  $54 for a 2 terabyte flash drive seems like a really good deal to me considering it's 8 times more space than the one I recently bought for $30.

That flash drive is something a techie would use, right? thanks Flash drives are basically little hard drives you can take with you anywhere. They plug into a USB. Bear in mind, I'm not necessarily recommending that one; it was just the first one in the search results. They come in all kinds of different sizes, shapes, and styles, but yes, it is something a techie could use.
