So.. what'd you get for Christmas?

$240 added up from various people
$40 Gap gift card (meh)
Portrait of Ruin with bonus pack (caught me by surprise)

I'm glad I got mostly money. I would have received a lot of games that would have been bought for full retail so this way I can get the most for their money.
 
20th anniversary Optimus Prime! (From my Mom who remembered she failed to find one many MANY Christmases ago) This was by far the best gift I have gotten evar EVAR!

Clothes
Xbox live headset (Im going to exchange it)
a flash light that doesnt need batteries
Coke in a bottle (A personal favorite)
Cereal (because my family hates that I eat so much cereal)]
cash

Coloris Bit Generations GBA Game
Soundvoyager Bit Generations GBA Game
"I am building a world for you" explodingdog.com print (officially badass)
Foot Massager (something I've wanted for....about 10 years now)
Homedics "Atom" Massager
Spongebob Ornament

Various candies
2 pairs of sleeping pants (super soft fleece woo!)
Invader Zim GiR Slippers
Stewie Hat (probably exchanging this)
Hard-Boiled Egg Land (that might be the incorrect title) by Murakami
A red shirt with "IWTM" written on it, thereby declaring me the winner of Xmicus
"I am 8bit" art book
A Japanese cooking apron (hawt)
Fondue Cooking Book
Print of me and my sister from Austin City Limits (black and white)

I officially got to take the wraps off my Wii...Heh, that sounded dirty.

Now the bad news, I have family in town so entertaining them takes precedence over my "stupid game playing"...so sayeth Mrs. Number83. So I have a blackout until Jan 2 (not even World of Warcraft), when they leave. Ah well, I got the Wii at launch, so what is waiting another week gonna do?

Happy Holidays everyone!
 
[quote name='mykevermin']That said, my wife gave me the Calvin and Hobbes box set ...[/quote]

Was that the one that is 3 volumes and weighs like 40 lbs?!?

I saw that at the Bookstore when I was looking for presents for my kids. I dropped the hint to my wife, but she didn't get it.

Can you post a quick review if it is the one I'm talking about. Thanks!
 
Girlfriend couldn't find the Wii, so she gave me a giftcard for BB for one. She's not a gamer, and usually gets me non-game stuff, so I think I'm very lucky!!

Its been out since Sept or Oct. my partner got me that and Hellraiser 3. I told him whatever else he wanted to get me could wait till he got paid this week. Only other thing I can even think of is the books Darkly Dreaming Dexter and Dearly Devoted Dexter. The series fuckin sucked me in man lol
 
Man I didn't even plan to buy any dvds at all this year and I ended up buying the HBO show Rome without ever hearing of it at all, then Band of Brothers and now I have to get ALF sometime soon. There goes my Excite Truck and Wii play =/

I caught the last one or two of Rome and it was fucking sweet. I really wish I could have gotten the Six Feet Under boxset from BB Sunday for 115. Thats probably the cheapest ever you're going to find it outside of someone selling on ebay (if you're lucky)...

Now that I'm finally home after a 24-hour adventure in airplanes and airports....

From my boyfriend: A 2-night stay at the Guam Hilton and a shark plushie
From parents: money, Target giftcard, random clothes and crap (stocking stuffers), Rocky movie collection
From boyfriend's parents: random crap that was generally pretty thoughtful and cute, Macy's giftcard
From everyone else: a lot of money, Best Buy giftcard, 2 Target giftcards

And, of course, my aunt, as like with every year, gave me random crap I will never use plus earrings even though she is told by my mom every year that my ears aren't pierced.

And my mom of course, as with most years had to give me the Holiday Barbie even though I am 19 and don't collect Barbies.
 
[quote name='Cormier6083']I've got the Xbox 360! This is the best thing in my life![/quote]

Yes. I am constantly surprised with how freaking awesome the 360 is.

Santa was very very good to me...

1. Guitar Hero II
2. Viva Pinata
3. 80GB iPod (which I'm returning for the 8GB nano)
4. Sweet lovin'
 
[quote name='SneakyPenguin']Why would you return an 80 gig iPod for an 8 gig nano? Just curious.[/quote]

Because I already have a 40GB photo that I just got refurbed from Apple (they said it's basically new). I had a 2 year warranty and it crapped out on me about a month ago - warranty expires in February - so I sent it in to be replaced. I'd like a nano for the gym so I can strap it to my arm and listen to music when I work out - the wear and tear on the photo isn't worth it. I'd actually prefer to keep the 80GB and somehow trade/sell my photo so I can get the nano but I don't think it's worth that much anymore.

Ah, that makes sense. Just seemed odd originally to sacrifice 72 gigs of storage.
