Mostly small stuff; nothing game-related. Highlights:
Heavy-duty gym bag, which'll be nice because it'll ease transportation of chains etc. and make it easier to keep everything dry whenever I have to take stuff to and from the gym.
Icy-Hot No-Mess Applicator; ironically, I was planning on buying a bottle of Blue Heat (...quick guide here is that they're liniments, which help to alleviate pain and promote recovery. If pain were some kind of physical, harmable entity, Icy-Hot would be like poking it with a sharp stick. Blue Heat, on the other hand, would be analogous to hitting it with a tactical nuke).
Various dorm supplies.
Overall, this was one of the nicer Christmas hauls I've had, because it's the closest I've come in a while to getting a complete set of gifts that actually have some kind of value to me. My parents still have yet to buy me a sled, a singlet, or any other powerlifting stuff (frankly, a bench shirt springs to mind as the most obvious example, but I don't lift in gear and those cost hundreds of dollars, so...well, it'd be a really joyous Christmas, but not for whoever bought it). Still, the bag and the icy-hot alone are pretty great.
