Well, I've yet to open my presents from my family, but I got presents from my dads relatives last night.

I got Star Munchkin (awesome 40k parody card game)

Gollum by Andy Serkis (His story of making LotR)

Clothes

Candy... lot's of it.

I'll add in the rest in a few hours probably.

I've actually been ridiculously spoilt this year, most likely because my sister is away in New Zealand and therefore isn't really sharing in the usual festive gifts! Biggest surprise was a new Snowboard - a lovely 156cm Palmer Factor that looks an awful lot like my old and much loved Forum DS, and, I believe, should ride somewhat similar too Also got a new pair of good snowboarding goggles and a hydration pack to complete my unexpected snowboarding related Christmas gifts. I hadn't asked for anything snowboarding related, but since I'm going away for a week with my Dad in January after missing out entirely last season, I guess he wanted to make my holiday as pleasant as possible! The computer stuff I had asked for - the Logitech G15 keyboard and MX1000 mouse - were also very generously wrapped up under the tree, as well as "NFS: Most Wanted" for the Xbox and the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy on DVD. A few other bits and bobs and some money from relatives rounded out what was a very over-generous Christmas to be honest! I can't help but feel my less impressive gifts didn't quite match up - I'm gonna have to work hard to repay such gifts in kind when I get a job

Got a new truck. (new to me anyway)
A few tools
some socks
rechargable flashlight

list is short but after the truck I figured I'd be stretching my luck if I asked for more RAM too.

I got aftershave, a book on s**t (no, really), a photo album for my travel pics and DoD: Source from my bro.

Nothing off anyone else due to massive debts and borrowing to pay for airtickets and general travelling in the past year.

Merry Christmas guys!

I am beginning to believe that these Snarks use the hitbox from HL2. I know I shoot some and they get away. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

The ones I do hit however must have only one hitpoint left cause they splat pretty good.

Yeh, honestly nice to see you around again, orph !

I got some money (people don't really know what to give when you get older) from my parents & grandparents and the other old people, a couple of books and a computer coupon for a shop nearby from my girlfriend.

I actually dared to buy her perfume. She liked it, lucky me.

I got a lot of little things, but my favorite gift this Christmas were 3 classic Hollywood movies on DVD.

I don't know where to post this, since you've already replied to a bunch of threads since I was last on, but welcome back Orpheus!
