[BIL]

BOOZE and CASH

[Nana]

We're always here for you Aguraki!

Merry christmas all!

My sister got me some awesome PS1 import games, haven't heard of most of them, but I'm pretty excited~! I'll take pictures when I get home, as I also got two shifts of work for Christmas.

[soprano1]

Told my family I'm getting back to reading and would like a book or two. Wasn't expecting to get this many.

Eça is obligatory high school reading tier, man At least Os Maias were for me.
Nice books, anyway.

Box of Butterfinger, some money, a pair of swimpants [I live in Florida ], and a box of screen wipes.

It was a mother in law present, so, as such , it was horribly amazing. (i thought fully boxed it might have some redeemable value on ebay , but , no luck)

Let's see, I got an all-black colored 3DS-LX to compliment my smaller all-black colored 3DS, a popcorn tin filled with assorted flavored popcorn, a Star Wars origami book with some extra origami paper packet as a bonus, Mrs. Fields cookie dough snacks, Victoria Swiss pocket knife (quite handy to have at work and the like), and lastly, a new pair of comfy slippers for 'em ol' feet. It's all cool this Christmas.

Here's to a Merry Christmas 2013 & Happy New Years 2014 coming up shortly.

Potiential Jury Duty Protip: Don't carry a pocket knife inside a courthouse if going in for potential jury duty as it'll be confiscated before going through the metal detector -- this applies to all American citizens when showing up for jury duty (or rather the ones whom signed up to vote). True story and was told that I had two options: either walk back to my car and drop off the pocket knife and return back or surrender it now and proceed through the metal detector. If I chose option #1, I would've been late for jury duty and that wouldn't be too good. Chose option #2 and it was sad to see a perfectly good pocket knife be kept by law enforcement to be disposed of later that day. It used to be a few years back, that carrying such a trivial item wasn't a big deal back then but nowadays, the rules have changed quite drastically. I can see the logical reasoning for this though.

[PAPER/ARTILLERY]

Same thing happened to me going to pay a fine. Lesson learnt.

[railslave]

EPIC moment

How do you react ?

[mosey]

I'm so, so happy yes those are cammo pajamas.

Also finally bought Kokuga. It's fun to play and say... ko-kuuu-gaa.

[drauch]

I think I found my new desktop wallpaper.

[ACSeraph]

Went to taco bell for christmas eve dinner. After eating nothing but shitty Japanese school lunches for the past 2 years, it was the best gift I could have asked for.

Otherwise got junk food and cash. My brother handed me a wad of bills and told me to go have some fun in Tokyo, so I guess I'll be spending a day at Taito Hey on my return trip

;3

[Skykid]

The year Rise of the Robots made my Christmas.

[Bloodreign]

I did forget to mention one thing a friend of mine got for me (something most of my family failed to do). X-Men Vs Street Fighter on the Saturn, likely one of the top notch gifts I could receive from anyone this year.

[Rob]

Books shipped in a puddle of water.


When you go hiking you put all of your bananas in this container so bears can have fun rolling them down mountains while you're sleeping. Also attracts dust well right out of the box.

[Vexorg]

Practically nothing this year, and that's by design. I did get a pair of shoes from my GF, and a Disney gift card (I'm a Disneyland annual passholder and have a trip coming up, so it will be useful.) On my own I bought a Nexus 7 back in November, but the digitizer already got cracked while I was traveling recently. I quite liked it while it worked though.

[ZacharyB]

Every year now, I ask for food, and that's what I get.

[Softdrink 117]

In addition to what I actually asked for (the lens), I got some shirts, several gift cards, and a book about 'gamification' in the workplace and everyday life, which seems like it will be interesting.

Lens is great. Very sharp, pretty fast, focuses quickly. It also looks adorably cute on the camera because of how tiny it is. 40mm behaves like a 64mm on my camera (crop sensor), but I'm finding that it's actually a very decent field of view. Need to play with it a bit more, but at the moment it feels pretty comfortable.

[Drachenherz]

Nothing...

Well, actually not nothing. My wife allowed me to order an Oculus Rift Dev.Kit, and so I did. Been downloading a few demos and games in preparation for the Rift to arrive somewhen around the beginning of the next year.

Yeah, I know... Why the low-res, laggy dev-kit, when the consumer version or the dev-kit 2 are just around the corner?

Because my hardware is to weak (Laptop with i7 and a Geforce GT 555m) for some 1080p with a stable 60fps - but it can handle the 1280x800 of the dev-kit. That's why. That and because I just cannot wait any longer to finally dive into VR worlds...

(So looking forward to dive into a few older games, like Half Life 2, Live for speed) and get lost in some really, really cool demos. And oh yeah, the bullet hell VR game I posted in shmups chat).

Certainly keep you posted when the Rift arrives.

VRs so going to take off this time

Can feel it in my bones

so, can you change the rift "casing/skin" to something more 90s and less robocop (2013)?



(Looking forward to the Barak Obama vs Edward Snowden vr battle)

Christmas cards that didn't have any money in them. But hey, at least they did write thinly veiled attacks about my lack of Christian faith. So I guess there's that.

[Astraea FGA Mk. I]

I got some other stuff but it wasn't nerdy enough to make it in this pic.

Got a couple of those. Best, though, was a text from my Catholic-but-not-dogmatic aunt, with a picture of a Methodist church billboard sporting the message "God prefers kind atheists to hateful Christians." That kind of raw religious tolerance is rare amongst my family; I have to admit I got a bit teary-eyed (sincerely).

Also a Wii U + NSMBU & NSLU bundle. And high quality winter clothing. Freaking good xmas, all told.

[Domino]

I'm Jewish so the only Christmas thing I do is go to my friend's place for Christmas Eve dinner and give him a small check so he can buy more loli items for the collection.

But I did purchase for myself these on Christmas day. This is important since I had a ban on buying live action films due to too many version of the same film and they still haven't done the transfer right. Paying that much for a DVD/Blu-Ray and it becomes like $1-$2 at the local flea market. I don't want to get started on this subject but here's what I got:

[hecheff]

(Belated) Merry Christmas, everyone!

Went for the Steam sale and got myself FTL: Faster Than Light and Starbound, along with several Super Hexagons (gave some to friends).

In the end I spent over 13 hours on FTL during Boxing Day. Totally worth it.

[jasoncslaughter]

I got:

- rid of 2 truckloads of stuff that I had at my parents' house.
- to see my family for the first time in 4 years.
- a divorce.

I think I win.

[rancor]

A divorce? On Christmas day?!

.. that's inhumane...
