Ah, here's the loot thread. I didn't get a lump of coal this year so I must have been good.
My 2010 swag:

Punch Out (wii)
Mushihi DVD (Katsuhiro Otomo - we're expecting this to be shit as, well, it's Japanese live action. But he did direct Akira so we'll see.)
Elemental Master (JP MD)
Sega Megadrive Arcade stick (thing's awesome!)
1TB Hitachi compact Hard Drive (exernal)
Massaging thingy
£100 :shock: (from my mum, she knows I'm really broke at the mo.)
Swiss army knife
Scarf (actually a nice scarf too.)
Loadsa chocolate and stuff. Argh. :roll:

Yeah, that MD Arcade Stick was sold in the USA under the official name of "Sega Genesis Arcade Power Stick" with a MSRP of $59.99 USD back in 1989-1990. I like how solid the weighted bottom base is, given Sega's past arcade pedigree in the arcades/game centers. The 6-button variant endowed official Genny/MD Arcade Stick ain't too shabby as well, albeit with smaller push buttons (compared to the bigger push buttons found on the original 3-button MD/Genny Arcade Stick release).

Otomo-san also did the manga & live-action film of "World Apartment Horror"...check it out sometime.

Lots:
* BlackBerry 8900
* Sonic Colors [so much better than Sonic 4, it's a bit sad]
* Punch Out Wii
* finally did the download thing, got Sonic 4, MM9 and 10, Sin and Punishment [feels harder with a GC controller, despite being able to see now compared to in PJ64], F-Zero X [why does it get so choppy at times?], Alien Soldier, and Gunstar Heroes.
* a Phillips MP3 player

In other news, the best haul I've had in YEARS.
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

That's a mighty impressive expanse of nothing...how much did it cost, I wonder?

I got a camera lens for the wrong system. Was damn Amazon's fault for sending the wrong one out. Unfortunately I had to go through them because they had the relatively cheap equipment I wanted and the actual lens isn't one that's found on all other sites, either.

It is a nice lens though, but since it's going back I can't manhandle it much.

I can't complain about the volume / value of stuff, not in the least!

The Genesis model 3 FUCKING ROCKS! The system is only twice as big as the carts and it is physically compatible with the Japanese carts.

$100 iTunes card here, that's it.

To be fair though, I'm a bit difficult to buy for at this point.

$300 in cash total (that all went towards a traffic citation and new tags).
Batman: Arkham Asylum via Steam gift from my friend a second ago.

Would have been a lot better score had the city not decided to stop sending out tag renewal notices. Oh and there is a late fee now, imagine that. :lol:

Isn't it rumored to break with like the slightest force? Or is that just an old wives tale.
