What'd you get? (Christmas presents)

[Anton P. Nym]

I got some stuff for the kitchen (a small grater, some spices, a little food processor) and some gift certificates for the hardware store, my newspaper subscription, and for work clothes, but the big item was a cheque to cover my train ticket (first class!) and incidental expenses for a trip to Worldcon 2009 in Montreal this summer. Yay!

[Abedeus]

I got my Crysis to 1680x1050 in High, Fallout in 1680x1050 in Medium-High, Prince of Persia in 1680x1050 in High.

Yes, 8500GT got changed to 9800GT. There IS a God. Of GPU developers.

 

[[Gavo]]

From the escapist...Navi.
Wish I had a bobble head, but, I like Zelda!

Um...
I got a new computer!
4 gigs of RAM!
20-inch monitor!
With a 1GB Radeon HD 4850! HELL YES!

Hellooooooooooo Fallout 3 on Ultra High

 

[Uncompetative]

Nothing.

Not even socks, as I wear sandals (yes, even in Winter) and to wear socks with sandals is a definite fashion faux pas. This is because I don't celebrate Christmas as I am an Atheist. Well, there you are... you did ask.

 

[Clashero]

Socks!

The real man's christmas present.

Edit: Time zones are really weird, It's been christmas day for 20 hours now where I live, and all you Northies (That's the term I just made up fer all you fellows in the Northern Hemisphere) haven't even started it yet.

Uh... time zones don't work north to south. It's the same time in Buenos Aires as it is in Kingston. Time zone dividers (they have a name, but I don't know it) go from north to south.

Anyway, back on topic: I got a 400gb portable HD (way to go!), a Rever Pass shirt (which I was in desperate need of), some cash from my grandmother, which I used to buy myself a set of Celtic runes carved in wood, a completely amazing shirt, and to top things off, Sarah Brightman's A Winter Symphony (the CD + DVD), which is made of win.

 

[Space Spoons]

I got this great poster with concept art of the Combine Overwatch soldiers and all their variations.

 

[chronobreak]

Some pretty awesome gifts goin' on.

 

[spuddyt]

I got a Lightsaber and a phone, by far the best Christmas ever.

 

[PureChaos]

A book of brain training puzzles, one for each day of 2009
A t-shirt that has music volume bars and lights up when there's noise

A case of larger (which was much appreciated)

 

[MorsePacific]

Two new books, two DVDs, a new jacket that looks really nice, headphones, a Borders gift card, a laser pointer (no idea why), a new book light, and some socks.

 

[superbleeder12]

I got a shirt, some jeans, a sweater and a sweater-vest. also a 50 dollar gas card and 160 dollars cash.

not too shabby I guess.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, among other things. Yay!

 

[lukemcandrew]

I got the usually toiletry sets, and money towards a new Jackson King V! (http://www.musicstore.de/en_EN/IEP/Jackson-KVX10-King-V-BK-Update-Black/art-GIT0004800-002) Neither of my parents could afford the guitar itself, with the recession and all, so they just chipped in towards my saving for it!

[PedroSteckecilo]

I'm actually slightly miffed, my parents gave my little brother both Gears 2 and Prince of Persia and I didn't get one durned videogame.

Did get a new keyboard, leather jacket and tons of movies though.

 

[Hoppetussa]

Gears of War 2 limited edition, Metroid Prime 3, World War Z, 12 months of Xbox Live, 2000 Wii points, and some other things.

 

[pantsoffdanceoff]

Yeah I didn't get a video game either, but I got enough money to get the Valve Pack off steam which I'm considering buying. I also got Harrison's principles of Internal Medicine which I could have never afforded myself so yay.

Is the Valve Pack a good buy?

 

[Jamanticus]

Pair of leather driving gloves with a kashmir liner (I fucking love em)

Awesomeness. I spent a week searching for a pair that'd fit me properly last Christmas, but there were so utterly worth it....Softness.......

Anyway, my gifts this year:
-'How to Cook Everything'
-Another book
-Beef jerky/ smoked salmon
-'WALL-E'
-Season 3 of Stargate Atlantis

I was quite blessed this Christmas (except for the jerky and salmon- ick...).

EDIT: And, I think I've found a nice new keyboard for my birthday.....
