What did you get for Christmas?
Wednesday, December 24th, 2003 - 5:57pm
Ok, so it's a little early yet, but I'm sure some people have started to get stuff. I got the Two Towers box set and a lego tie-bomber so far, along with a Best Buy gift certificate. We all know about Certis' 'Aragorn Play Set', so has anyone gotten anything yet?

My girl got me a logitech Cordless MX Duo. Thats all so far.
PSN ID: Stric9
I got fifty bucks!
I'm bringing sexy back!
I won''t know for sure until tomorrow, but I expect Secret of Mana, and PoP for video games. I feel pretty sure there will be a few dvd''s and books thrown in. I''m bound to get a least one pair of socks. And there are a few question mark packages.

Rat Boy, why is it that your avatar gets more creepy and demonic the more time passes?

It''s symbolic of my new faith. You heathens immediately assume that if somebody has red eyes, they must be evil. Koljar be praised.

I bought myself some DVD''s, probably doesn''t count =p
Was on a bit of a John Carpenter kick and got:
I can''t believe I finally found a copy of They Live. Damn hard movie to find.
My days of not taking you seriously have certainly come to a middle.
Steam Profile
My Gamercard
I got Knights of the old republic for PC... Havn''t put alot of time into it yet but it seem like a good one.
The voices say hello.
My wife got me into Hurricanes U, a program where you learn the basics of hockey, including on-ice and other stuff. I''m definitely happy

"THE HELL ASS BALLS." - Prederick, expressing frustration in the time-honored way.
Coldforged...Great gift...I would almost trade that in for my new Dakota Quad Cab. My gift rocks, but the payment''s gonna suck ass.
I got the two NWN expansions and KOTOR for PC. Also Crossroads of Twilight by Robert Jordan. A big enough haul of Christmas booty to keep me busy for a while.
A Best Buy gift card (200 clams, is there an Xbox in my future?) and SSX 3 for the PS2...SWEET!
Highlights:
Panasonic portable DVD player
iPod
Call of Duty
Knights of the Old Republic - this one might be going back; I spent an hour trying to get it to work and gave up on it.
The Da Vinci Code
The Indiana Jones DVD set
Edit: Never mind on KOTOR. All I had to do was disable movies and the menu stopped blanking out. It''s always the stupidest and simplest solution, isn''t it?

Some fantasy/sci books Books, some music (Loreena Mckennitt), a new power drill (whoop), some slippers a couple DVD''s and a partridge and a partree. Not a game ore geek toy as far as the eye can see... nor any scuba stuff but all and all it was not a bad year

Wait, I didn''t tell you my best one! It''s a talking bottle opener that has Homer Simpson saying ""To alcohol! The cause of - and solution to - all of life''s problems!"" whenever you open a bottle.

Couple of cool tshirts
Didn''t get XBox Live, but I got some cash which I may use to buy XBox Live with since I''ve been jonsing for some multiplayer action.
Currently busy transferring settings and files to my Mom''s new Dell, so as a sorta present I get all thier old stuff

Typical geek loot:
Gamecube (my PeeCee just isn''t up to snuff for the new games): Prince of Persia, Baldur''s Gate, and Double Dash
DVD: Two Towers EE, Indiana Jones Box set
Clothes
MP3 Player
Few other nicknacks. I''ve had a very fun day made all the better with my son''s first Christmas. He got a kick out of all the wrapping paper (and got some good loot to boot).
I didn''t get much... Deus Ex:IW for Xbox with a $50 Gift Card from EB. I think $50 is the best thing I got this Christmas...
Arh... Deus Ex! Runs kind of bad, none stop loads screens, plain bad... I wasn''t even able to watch the Thief3 Trailer because it choked...!
...and I have to work today! Worst Christmas ever!!! IMO
Xbox Live: Nei HD | Playstation ID: Nei_GWJ
The only annoying thing about running KOTOR without the movies is that I have to exit out and run the files everytime I think a movie is playing. Would it have killed them to flash a screen that says ""Watch movie 1_c now.""?

Some of the big gifts I received were:
A telescope (my first one, I''m excited)
NFS: Underground for PS2
Spiderman DVD
6'' Step-ladder
$75 Best Buy Gift Card
Luckily I have a wife that plays games too, so I got her Jak 2, the first one was pretty fun and she beat it in less than a week so I''ll have to try and weasel in a few minutes with this one before she beats it,
.
With my Best Buy gift card I''m probably gonna pick up at least one game for the PC and maybe SSX 3 for the PS2 so me and my wife will have another game to play together. Now to decide what game to get for the PC, hmmm....

Still searching for the perfect game...
