I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

--Radeon 9250 Pro 128mb, and i think if it's overclocked it goes up to 256mb...

How is overclocking supposed to magically make the amount of physical ram increase?

I got many neat things...

A new mousepad (I was using a notebook before...)
Serenity DVD (Best. Movie. Ever. at least I think so)
A spiffy analog watch.
A Eletric Paino(aka Keyboard), now... to get a MIDI Converter so I can plug it into a USB port. (I have no joystick port! :O)
And a few other things.

BUT! There is ONE thing I got that I think makes all the other ones shake in fear, sort of like this: :shaking:

A sealed Freespace 2 from my Dad.

I thought long and hard before breaking the wrap that was most likely been there for around 5 years! And it is also the reason why I have recently shown myself on these forums. :)

Serenity DVD (Best. Movie. Ever. at least I think so)

At least one of the best sci-fi space opera movies since the original Star Wars.

And welcome to the FS2 universe, mate. :)

Make sure you burn the CDs and use the burnt copies for general play. Those cardboard cases are murder on the original disks if you're regularly taking them out and putting them in.

I didn't get anything. We all just sat around the pole and I got told how much I've disappointed everyone over the past year, and then I had to wrestle my dad and he wouldn't let me go until I pinned him.

I got:
Creative Zen Sleek music player thingy (20 gigs, seems pretty good so far, but if it turns out to be useless, I'll swap it for a different model)
Spaghetti Westerns DVD box set (the Clint Eastwood Leone films - hell yes :cool: )
Chinatown on DVD
System of a Down - Hypnotize ('s alright, though a few songs smack of filler)
A book called "Is It Me, Or Is Everything ****?" Has some funny bits, but a lot is rather dull.
Unleashed on DVD (Jet Li film - one of his best Hollywood outings, but not a patch on the Chinese-language stuff he's done. Some nice fight choreography, and what little wirework there is is nice and subtle for the most part)

Also got a wee bit of money, though not much. Most of it will probably go on food/halls rent, though there are a couple of cds that are just crying out to be bought...
