What did you get for Christmas/whatever you celebrate?

[Paul]

Did you get C&C3 for PC or 360? If 360 are the controls any good? I heard their horrible so I'm just curious.

If in doubt just dl the 360 demo..

[Leto]

R.E.M.

Awesome name for a band - Rapid Eye Movement. Brilliant. I love that name. Strange, but fantastic.

And I was given in total a grand (£1000) - £20 from my father, £100 from my wife, money from all my friends, rest of family, people that wanted to stay on my good side because they think I'll give them money for sucking up to me, etc. It all totalled to just five pounds over a grand.

But my mother? She misses the good old days where I was given a tangerine for Christmas, so she got me what could be a modern day tangerine - a Wii. I said to her 'I almost bought one the other day, and I appreciate the thought, but now you're helping me make space, as one of the controllers are motion sensitive'. She thoguht I was joking and laughed. Unfortunately, I don't have much time for the Wii because of my job, but at least now I can say: 'Fuck you, Sony PS3'. This has been the first Christmas in twenty years that I have received something other than money.

Hypnotize by SoaD, which I CAN'T RIP ONTO MY MP3 PLAYER FUCK

Try setting up your computer to not autoplay CDs, then put it back in and rip. In the event that it has already installed something on your computer to block ripping, try doing it on a clean computer.

A large Bionicle,

£100 from my wife,

Forgive the extremely sexist and traditional society in which i was bought up in but really shouldn't that be the other way round . Money makes a shit present anyway like chocolates; no thought in it. At least with gift vouchers your loved one strategically chooses the shop you will never buy from.

[Kyle]

Xbox 360 (I can finally play Munch again!)
Halo 3
iPod nano video
money
clothes
candy, other stuff

WHAT? Money is an awesome present! Anyway, I got her a bottle of perfume. That's the perfect gift for a woman at Christmas. It's there so that you don't have to put any thought into it at all (in other words, it makews things easy). She's happy with it, anyway.

Wow. It's good to know that you and your wife are so in love that neither of you feels the need to put any thought into the gifts you give each other.

Save time, get a divorce.

And anyway Bionicles are awesome. I was actually tempted to buy one of the new ones because I had many of them when I was a little smaller.

[Strike Witch]

NE?

Which one is it? A 2007 Titan or a 2008 Toa Ignika? I hear he's turning up early stateside.

[whElk]

'Blankets'. It's kind of an autobiography in graphic novel form by Craig Thompson, and definitely worth a look if you want to see how sequential art should be done.

It's nothing like that - it just makes things easier. You'd understand if you knew my wife. She's so sodding awkward at times. You ask her what she'd like (so that you could get her something that wouldn't disappoint her), and she just asks what I'd want. So we don't have to put thought into what to get each other. We just make sure that we can get through Christmas without ending up broke. Fortunately, I'm £1000 richer, and I'm not very rich at all, so I consider myself lucky.

[skillyaslig]

oh year, and chuck in a alava lamb, with extra bulb plz. I am waiting for it to blow up and set my room on fire :/
Well, I hate getting money for Christmas, I just think there isnt any though gone into it. Though it is kinda better then gettin' a present that you hate, like a kitten or somthing.

[mudling]

I was on exchange at the time, so a book of photography and the origin of interesting idioms and words from my parents, an italian jumper and italian herbs christmas deceration ball from my host family, an italian capricorn mini statue thing and a game boy arcade thing from their family freinds, and when I got home, Masseffect.
But going to Italy was a christmas and birthday present in it'self.

[Fuzzle Guy]

So you preferred which presents?

I got a Digital Stills Camera, A Huge Voice Interactive Dalek, Frasier season 2 6 and 7, Cheers Season 1, The Godfather Collection, Extras: The Complete Series, A Flanimal (Munge Ambler), pleanty of books, The Simpsons Game for Nintendo DS and a Spider-Spud (I collect Mr Potato Head. They come in handy when you have kids around the house)

[mudling]

Oh yeah, I got a digital camera aswell for christmas.

[Rex Tirano]

I got quite a bit really. Some generic girly things like soap, shampoo, perfume, etc. But I also got some DVDs [Back to the future, Beetlejuice and Kikujiro <3], some NDS games, some money [bwahahahaha!] and alot of CDs [Sppice Girls, AVA, Sublime, Alice in Chains, Scouting For Girls, Blink-182 & BoxcarRacer].

Pretty generic but still fun.
