So what did you get for Christmas?

So go ahead and tell everyone how greedy you really are..

I got a snowboard, Project Gotham Racing, some more drum stuff.. and tons of f-in giftcards from relatives. And my friend got me a log. (10 tins of dipping tobaco) and yes only a true friend would feed ur need

and yeah i payed for half of the snowboard.. supposedly Santa's elves dont like below minum wage what a bunch of losers.

I got Liz Hurley in a leather, skin tight, cat suit...

In my dreams :smile:

2 games: rotk & XIII. some graphite pencils, Permission to land & oddly enough, A digeridoo. Dont ask.

I got flight sim 2004. Most ppl find it "boring", but I can derive hours of pleasure launching the wright brothers plane off the top of a building and trying to land it.

Got some dvds (Goldfinger & Apocalypse Now), a radio and a calendar aswell.

A Logitech optical mouse, a glass chess set, giftcards, some cash and some clothes

20 euro's cash. A wallet. Socks.

That's about it.

Some parts for my new computer (which is now up and running :smile: ) :: Athlon 2600+ XP, 512MB DDR RAM, Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB, 120GB HDD, you know the score.

Oceansize -- Eflloresce CD ::: I have to say, Oceansize are one of the bests bands in the UK right now. Great prog-rock stuff.

Bottom Live -- Weapons Grade Y-Fronts Tour ::: Funny Stuff. Especially when they mess up their lines and have to improvise (and when they visited their older material from The Young Ones :biggrin: )

The Office Series 2 ::: Funniest show ever. David Brent is a genius.

Monty Python Autobiography ::: Biggest book ever.

And a bit of money, around 45 pounds. Not bad at all :biggrin:

Interesting.. a digeridoo, we have one but just for decoration more than anything. :razz:

I got a trip to Brisbane and cash mostly.

3 games - Project Gotham Racing 2 on the Xbox, Prince of Persia for the PS2, and TR: Angel of Darkness on the PS2. Yes, I DID ask for the last one, I've always been a TR fan.

A big snowboarding bag (luggage type bag, not backpack or board bag).

LOTR: Two Towers Extended. Not watched it yet, prolly will tomorrow or something.

Lame, a snowboarding DVD, which has a s**te soundtrack but its got some impressive boarding.

Teeth of the Tiger, the new Tom Clancy book, and Bored of the Rings, a parody book of LOTR :smile:

Some other random things, ?60 cash, ?30 HMV vouchers, and ?30 Next vouchers.

So all in all, no complaints from me :biggrin: And not to mention that I have 2 related families coming around today, so I won't get their presents till later.

Real men ski! :smile:

I got the indiania jones box set and 8 mile on DVD. Justin timberlake, jay-z and g-unit albums, some hugo boss aftershave, a hoody and a N-Gage.

Heh, I got that one for the PC. It's such a badly designed game it's laughable, and I like Tomb Raider. It's also the buggiest game in existence, it's almost unplayable sometimes. They should just stop making them now, there's no point anymore.

It is incredibly different to the others, almost unbearably so. The controls have gone to s**t (holding forwards runs the way she is FACING normally, but in this she runs away from the camera regardless of what way she is facing?!?!?!) and the skills thing is a load of crap. Ah well, I've got Prince of Persia, which seems absolutely kick ass - its the direction tomb raider SHOULD have gone.

Ben, hows the N-Gage? I'm almost tempted to get one, but I'm kinda sceptical that very few games will come out. Tomb Raider does look damn cool though :smile:

Few new clothes, some technical drawing and painting books, jack daniels and thats about it really.

Kornflakes: i have a didgeridoo :biggrin: well, 6 ^_^

2 blues harp harmonicas, book on "how to play a blues harp harmonica", 240 dollars, DVD player, the simpsons season 1-2 on DVD, new fossil watch, glass chess set, and finally this simpsons thing where the people scroll across a kind of LCD screen.

Got a karaoke machine,and an Xbox from the little lady. Had too much company last night so I will be hooking it up this weekend. I purchased the wife a kitchenaid mixer, one of those heavy metal jobs. She's been wanting one for a long time now.

Happy holidays to all.

K-19 Widowmaker DVD, money, a swivel chair for my computer, and I am on my way to go pick up my NF7-S Motherboard and 256mb DDR RAM.

Couple of drawing books, inking pens, various sweets, ?30, some lego (yay!), Porridge series 1&2 (old comedy), and a cute little remote controlled car :smile:

Microsoft Intellimouse Optical

Instant Remedy CD (Commodore 64 remixes)

Dell Axim X3 PocketPC

Go board

NOTHING!!!!!!!!!! only $10 (35 soles)

MAX PAYNE 2! + a Do bok ( a kind of suit I use when I train Taekwon-Do) + other stuff like candy and a... doll (my brother gave it to me... he has a bizarre sense of humor :smile:

Theres alot of artist in here.. good to see... but i think we need some more gansters like Mr.Ben to spice up the crowd :wink:

Call Of Duty, Puddle Of Mudd's new album, White Stripes most recent, LOTR: Two Towers on DVD, Peter Kay's new DVD and more chocolate than I know what to do with :smile:

Justin timberlake, jay-z and g-unit albums,..

Ouch :redface: hehe well I got some cream, sellotape- usual stuff- and hoping for a new road bike (Raleigh X1) tomorrow

Hawkins, You gonna map for CoD also? If so:

http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/%7Emap/callofduty/index.php

Money, rotring set for me course.

Seems quite a lot of people are getting graphical sets and such... you all do graphic courses or somat?

I'm getting broadband in a few days. Then I'm getting call of duty and now leaving the house for a month. :wink:

Airforce One, clothes and Call of Duty. COD's game play does not match halflifes IMHO.

Got a 7-in-1 tool kit, and a gift card for Circuit City. I'm also getting my car repaired as well :biggrin: . Honestly, I'm just happy I didn't have to be alone this Christmas. Besides, my school makes up for several Christmai(would that be the plural form?) and birthdays until I graduate, get a job that supports me and can start paying back various people for it all in the first place.

Plurals of -as ending words don't usually turn into -i, you're getting confused with some cases of -us :razz:

Lots of deoderent (I think my family are trying to tell me something), socks, an alarm clock and a passport

Well if you can't spell it, you probably do smell :wink: heh

Call of Duty, Postal 2, GBA SP with Metroid Fusion, LOTR: The Two Towers Extended Edition (which is awesome), Wacom Tablet, new printer (for those artistic needs), Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, and Family Guy. There was some more stuff, but those are the things I was excited about. I'm glade I got Call of Duty and Postal 2 STP because now I can make maps for them, not so much for Postal 2, but it would be cool. And yes, I do know that?s a lot of stuff. I have no idea how anyone could afford it all and I'm very grateful for all of it.

All I need now is more ram, about one more GB will do it...

A book about modeling in Maya, The Da Vinci Code (novel), some books on avoiding avalanches, a very cool survival snow shovel, two towers extended DVD, and lots of candy.

haha tracer.. i got a 3dsmax5 Bible. i dont know how my dad knew, either! i've been to the bookstore like 4 times and just read that same book.

well lets see....im a dad... :heee:

lots of aftershave, socks, and boxers....and a s**tload of bills....i talked to my son for 30 seconds...the whole family was around....chaos reigned.....

best christmas in years... :wink:

Doc B.. :dodgy:

Well I can't even keep track of "us" and "them" so I don't know what's going on anymore. I'm just gonna start spe

speaking in C++/OpenGL code/functions from now on :biggrin:

GLthought tThought = 0;

glEnable(GL_BRAIN);

while(1)

{

glBegin(GL_THINKING);

tThought = glThought3f(1.05f, 3.43f, 6.44f);

glEnd();

//if I actually have a sane thought, break the loop

if(tThought == coherent)

break;

SwapBuffers(hDC);

}

16 different music cds (mostly mid-90s punk), a DVD player, and the Indiana Jones box set...can't complain :smile:

Alittle update. Just installed Xbox on 36 inch Sony through sound system. Put in game XIII. Now wife sorry about the purchase(hehe). Pretty cool little gaming system.

I got lots of money and giftcards. :smile: (Just went out to Best Buy yesterday and bought Max Payne 2 with ome of it...)

Heh, a novelty keyboard. It's illuminated!

AND... I got an Archos JBM20 (if you don't know what it is, Google it) but the hard drive was messed up!!iws so friggin' angry! I had to send my baby away yesterday and it won't be back for like 2 weeks. What a shame.

1985 model M keyboard > illuminated keyboard

err.. on second thought

1985 model M keyboard > any keyboard

You know I'm talking about a computer keyboard, right? Cuz half the people I've told thought I meant a piano keyboard...

Xbox ... little

:P

Call of Duty (from me, to me); The Salmon Of Doubt; Molvania (Best Travel Guide EVAR); Homeworld 2 (the first game I've ever seen that told me that my computer was too slow and so refused to install , the demo worked dammit!); Whiskey flavoured deodourant (my thoughts exactly); Not enough chocolate, although it's never enough, is it :smile:

I think that I went on a rather unfortunate spending spree when it came to my gift-giving. I bought 2 games for my brother and sister, each, a set of books for my parents, a solid granite kitchen board for my stepmother, and I also bought myself a new toothbrush.

Now I need a new harddrive (6gb ain't enough!), a new mobo, a better cpu than my P3-600, and a nicer graphics card than my GF2.

'Tis the season to blow your expense account.

Well, I went and picked up KoToR with my gift card and am having a blast. Bioware did a nice job of blending console and PC style RPG's together. I just got my Jedi powers and am having fun roaming around and bitch-slapping enemies with my lightsaber and vibroblade.

that is a great travel guide

Hitchhiker's Guide was a work of singular beauty, ranking up with the likes of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and A Man in Full on the CassiusScale (TM), but all the others in the series were just so-so.

UNHOLY HERITIC! BURN!!!!!!!!!

What r u talking about, book 3 was the best and the second one was good as well, so OK, book 4 wasn't quite as good as the others but it was acceptable. Yes.

I hear he was planning a sixth, but he overdosed on Cardiac'O'Rest before he could start work on it.
