Breaking the laws of mapping since 2003 and doing a damn fine job at it

The wife got me a stylin new Peacoat( sailor type jacket) some cologne, and a PSP with a couple of games. Must say I rather like that little gadget.

Got a bunch of things for my car (squeegee, scraper, Canucks flag, pressure gauge, etc.) two dress shirts and ties (I work at a bank), dress socks, Family Guy volume 3, a Mage-Lite, bunch of little trinkets and such. I also bought myself a Canon Powershot S1 the other day as a self-present.

Welcome back orph

I told everyone not to get me anything.. but I got stuff anyways.. lets see..

a KDS-lisa 19" color flat panel monitor.

a cw330 Kodak digital camera.

Of course the tradititional underwear from some some aunt or my mother.

A couple new pairs of jeans, a really kick ass HL2 tie.. where they got it I dont know ( the tie was from my kids.. but I bet the mommy had some help in that )

In a way I also got Call of Duty 2.. I got that for my oldest son.. as well as heroscape. something we can play together.

My kids as always made out like bandits.. but thats what its all about for me, to see their happy lil faces on Christmas morning and the ripping of wrapping paper flying across the room. =) Well that and having all my family and friends near by and being thankful for all our blessings.

AND A POST FROM ORPHEUS.. that made my Christmas complete!

You guys are flat out embarrassing.

I'll trade you some socks for some underware. :biggrin:

Urban Dictionary: The Book

A sweater

A put-it-together-yourself cabinet

A banana (in my stocking)

2 Movie tickets

A 'The Far Side' Calender (Gary Larson rules)

A flying Saucer

• 320 GB Hard Drive (early gift that I bought for meself since it was really cheap on newegg.com. Santa paid for it).
• Skis + Bindings and Boots (Horray for coupons!)
• A Terrible Headache
• And perhaps a subscription to Eve Online (hopefully D:)

Two remote-controlled shock-tanks, that give you an electric shock through the controller when you get hit xD Lots of fun, especially when you "forget" to tell you friends about the electric part of the game :razz:

"DANGER: This is not a toy. Should not be used by people with pacemakers, epilepsy or other illnesses that could cause negative impact when using the product. May not be used by small children." (LOL! What about animals?!)
A pair of radio controlled tanks with small electric shocks... NOT a toy? What is it then?

I also got 500 Danish kr. (Divide with 7.5 to make is $) which i will use to buy Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

And last but not least, some kind of mind-breaker puzzle, made of small sticks put together in a self-locking way. I swear, i used hours on figuring it out. Finally, i pressed on one of the sticks and then they scattered between my hands and spread all over the couch. Now the BIG question: How the F*CK do i put these together again?!?

the clash - from here to eternity (live)

various bbc comedy dvd's

Socks to rub on your ass? :razz:

I got a DVD burner (yet I have no blank DVDs), a book about tanks, and some Dr Who memerobilia. I'm not sure whether to take it out of its box... its a sonic screwdriver that can show messages written in invisible ink.

Yuck, everyone knows that the index finger is best.

I bought 100 blank -R's last week for only $32.00. I suppose thats pretty damned good. They are Imation disks too so I don't think I got screwed.
Check Wal-Mart if you have one.

Otherwise raked in mostly books... Serenity Visual Companion and a cool book about firefly/serenity and the like, art of fellowship of the ring and return of the king (with two towers forthcoming), Expose 3, and a book of stuff by the architect who designed the gugenheim museum in spain... blanking on the name.

Lots of baby goods, too. No games :sad: but maggie did hook me up with a second x360 controller and 2 1600 point cards for the live marketplace, and I'll be using some money I got plus part of my next bonus check for condemned, kong, and doa4 :smile:

Wow, I got a 5x5x5 rubik's cube too! From my dad.

Weird...

yeah

i dont feel quite a loser seeing as im not the only one though as i have yet to figure it out

Orph, check out "GQ" , they're cheap, but great. Never fail, really (unlike memorex or furcrapsu). They're usually $10 for a 50-Pack at Fry's (Walmart, Best Buy, Circuit City and the likes really are the worst place to buy blank media ... so expensive). See? They're usually on sale though.

Anyway, got some games (mostly GBA), and Gladiator Extended Edition on DVD (Where the f**k is the DTS track??). And socks :\

I bought my parents some stuff: Harry Potter 1/3, Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 4. And something else.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

My third Christmas is today, with my moms side of the family. So... more stuff, here I come!

I got

A Video iPod (30gb, already almost filled)

A 20" TV

And I'm buying myself more computer parts.

Nickelplate is my dad

you also got windows 98

I got:
?20, 250GB sata HD, Quake 4 (good work kfs!!!!), BF2, BF2:SF, Bad religion CD and a learner driver book from the AA.

All in all i got all i asked for except for hl2: raising the bar

---

I need a new sig

I dunno about Quake 4, I have a bit of a grudge against it from the beginning, it supposedly being set just after Quake 2- yet all the weapons, environments, makron, everything, are more advanced...

Loved the undrground bit in the waste facility though :biggrin: KFS, care to say exactly which levels you made? I know you made a post, but non of the levels you posted said they were created by you :-?

KFS read below (spoiler possible)-

Oooooh, also KFS, what happened to Tanks? I noticed most of the old creatures and some new ones, but Tanks didn't seem to be there unless it was that 1 (your leader geezer on the ground) guy with the black hole gun and the big round suit...

End.

/me pokes to make action figures of the Gladiator...

-[Better to be Honest than Kind]-

Well Santa didnt get me this.



I had to buy it myself and I now owe my mum some money cos I couldnt quite afford it but it was worth it non the less.

The link lead to a price nearly mine Sir, but need I remind you that some stores are not national?

I did however see a Fry's last time I went to Phoenix.. Just north of town on I-17.

In fact only the three stores in parenthesis are anyplace in Arkansas/Missouri/Oklahoma, the 3 states within driving distance of my small burg.

I have not heard anything bad about Imation disks though, you?

---

The best things in life, aren't things.

First with the slow internet now with stores, will it ever end?

That was more expensive because it's online. At times, since it's Fry's, there's mail in rebates. The first pack I bought ended up costing $2.50, since there was a $10 rebate.

slaps Crono repeatedly. Not because he needs it but because I do.

As contrary as it may seem, Snarkpit is big enough for us both. I see no problem with you remaining anyway. :razz: <---joking color

Seriously, I was asking a serious question. Sometimes you act as if I have everything you do at my disposal.

Anyway, after rebates its cheaper. Sadly, I have never cashed in a single rebate and wish they would remove the concept from any purchases. Its a stupid concept and not worth the time IMO.
