I'm still waiting for my presents that're getting shipped from my relatives (in Japan) though. I'm thinking I'll get Front Mission 4.

Is it just me or is everyone getting X2 on DVD? :lol:
I myself got:

X2 DVD (see :D )
2001 DVD
Books by Iain (M) Banks
   State of the art
   Use of weapons
   Canal Dreams
   Dead air
Books on origami (speaking of which I really should show you guys some of my models sometime :) ).

I also have the first season of B5 now. Best christmas viewing evar!!!1 :lol:

A rather nice christmas I have to say. :)

Cheers, Maeg. It's sure fun to play, I'll tell you that - I've owned it for 6 months, learnt some 99 songs on it. (Gah! The century's eluded me so far. ;))

And, indeed, you are a bastard. You'll love reading those Banks novels, I think, and I have even more reason to complain than Mik - because I also haven't seen any eps of B5 yet! Have fun with those man, no kidding about a rather nice Christmas. ;)
- Eddie Kent Woo, Setekh, Steak (of Steaks), AWACS. Seriously, just pick one.

[color=cc9900]'Canal Dreams' is an Ian Banks book. Something about a boat stranded on the Panama Canal, if I remember correctly.[/color]

That CD is so easy to find. Ever seen them live? What a band, there's something about setting fire to a guitar then throwing it into the audience that just screams "DANGER".
What frequency are you getting? Is it noise or sweet sweet music? - Refused - Liberation Frequency.
