A didgeridoo and a panflute to start. I can get the latter to make noise, the former not so much.
A 41-key midi controller keyboard (which has a lengthy and needlessly complicated driver-installation process).
Some travel speakers for my P.O.S. laptop.
An AE wallprint, the unofficial "Swimming Abe" one. I'm impressed by the quality of the print, but I wish they had mounted it on foam card or something. I'm going to be getting that done at a print shop on my own dime within the next few days.
Lots of nice clothes, all of which fit surprisingly well considering my parents are in love with the idea that I'm a size smaller than I actually am and tend to buy clothes that are far too tight.
A couple of movies I asked for.
A copy of Batman: Arkham Asylum for PS3. So far the game is fun but the controls bug the crap out of me, and I find myself returning to the configuration menu often to tweak the inverts and sensitivities over and over. Also not too impressed with the score, but that could simply be becase I'm so used to Batman having such good music (not counting Zimmer's piss-poor scoring for BB/TDK of course).
A copy of The Suffering (have only played rented), complete with a new cover my friend drew specifically to make me laugh. It features Torque drawn in crayon by what you would think was a three year old. The title was written in cutesy kids letters with some of them being backwards. The back half of the cover featured one of the monsters apparently frolicking in a field of flowers and poorly-drawn rainbows. My friend Greg did all this for me, and I must say I lol'd pretty damn hard when I tore into the wrapping paper and saw that perfectly round, crayon rendition of Torque staring back at me. I'll be sure to scan it if anyone's interested, I bet MA will be.
