Maybe, but if you get twenty hours out of a game (which you should out of a reasonable purchase), you're getting better value than a movie ticket or a book.

[pecenipicek]

heavens know i racked up more than 260 hours of playtime in GMOD since i bought it last year for christmas.

and how much playtime i will get out of audiosurf...

[Dilmah G]

A new phone (my old one didn't even have a camera. xD)
A shirt with the slogan "The economy tanked so all I got for Christmas was this lousy t-shirt", It should've been "The economy tanked so all my dad could be arsed to buy me this lousy t-shirt"
A new necklace
$200 courtesy of grandparents
$20 courtesy of an aunt
A book about the Sri Lankan Army that's big enough to double as a melee weapon.

[redsniper]

500GB external hard drive (and it's USB powered, so I don't need to lug a power cord around anymore)
Asus Xonar DX sound card
Quantum of Solace and The Hangover DVDs
Clothes (including some T-shirts that I will actually wear)
and a little more to come from my mom

Oh and some malware/trojan on my PC
But I think I've got that taken care of now.

[Colonol Dekker]

I got . . . . .
 
The Godfather, special Francis Ford Coppola 4 disk edition. My favourite present. 
 
A variety of clothing from Topman.
 
Gears of war 2 360. (Good intentions)
 
A brilliant bottle of Davidoff silver shadow. The finest scent and female attractant i've ever owned.
 
A variety of whiskies and hipflask so I can tolerate work next week.
 
Some quite warm cityboy leather gloves.
 
A Bill Bailey DVD, the Orchestra.
 
Bit of cash. . . But to be honest I earn enough to buy myself everything I want so this time of year is about seeing the family more than ought else.

[Mr. Vega]

Babylon 5 Season Four and money, pretty much. I do like money though.

[Titan]

from the family gift exchange on christmas eve:

Sony clock/radio/iPod dock
a bunch of books
some awesome clothes
Cabella's big game hunter 2010
Nerf N-strike elite
Karma (a kamelot album)
over a hundred dollars of gift cards and straight cash

then on christmas morning (from "santa"):

A nice fleece vest
some nice in-ear bud headphones to replace the ones I smashed the other day that came with my ipod

and between me and my baby sister (from "santa"):

New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Nyko wiimote charger (for 2 motes)

and then my uncle said that he'll give me his PS2. Flippin' schweet.

[Rian]

I got the **** out of Dallas, where I was stranded overnight because my flight home was canceled .

Also got a shiny steel shuriken, a stack of books, a couple necklaces, and a most delightful hat and mittens.

[Colonol Dekker]

I love it when she swears
 
Mittens? Complete with string?

[StarSlayer]

a most delightful hat and mittens.

I don't suppose it was also a cunning hat?


My actual haul was pretty small, with snazzy pajama bottoms pretty much taking the top of the heap.  That said as a house gift I bought a Bose surround system and a LG Bluray player, which I will thoroughly enjoy.

[NGTM-1R]

I have a pencil, paper, computer, CAD programs, good old-school RPGs, and infinite imagination.

...Your $60 USD XBox games (and consoles, for that matter) pale in comparison and can go rot in the pit of gaming Hell for all I care! 

You don't want to get into a "who's got more old-school gaming" with me. I'm still playing a system straight out of the late '80s.

[Snail]

i like wolf 3d

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I like Tyrian 2000, but that was released in 1995 so .

[Thaeris]

As promised, I'd report on how ostrich jerky tastes:

The answer? Surprisingly good. Smoked ostrich with an omlette would assumably be magical as well... 

[Androgeos Exeunt]

An omelette goes pretty well with a lot of stuff.

[Thaeris]

An omelette goes pretty well with a lot of stuff.

Indeed...

...Too bad I already had breakfast! 

[MR_T3D]

some movies, a nice monitor.
