It's officially Xmas, and my family opens presents early, so I've got the first post.

My haul:

Radeon Mac Edition: sweet card (drools); took 3 power cylcles (turn off and turn on) to work: 1 for installation, another to remove the previous drivers, and a third to install the correct drivers.

Star Trek: Elite Force and Stratagy Guide: nice game, and I'm a dirty cheater too

Banjo - Tooie and Stratagy Guide: My N64 is 500 miles away, so the report on this will wait

Sin Gold Edition: This was an early present, procured on a trip to select a new G4 for my grandparents (it's not a top-o-the-line model, don't ask)

Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2: See above

Not too shabby!!!!

Heh, I opened mine before you. My mom left to Hawaii to visit her dad, who's dying, so we opened them early. I was planning on waiting 'till christmas to tell everybody what I got, and I'm still planning on it.

"Oi, oi, oi, me got a hurt n here
Oi, oi, oi, me smell a ting is near
Me gonna bosh and me gonna nosh

I got a total of $1500. No real presents, just cash. I'm buyin' me a sword!

One thing that I got was the game "Risk II". Although I have yet to try it out, it's gonna be cool!

P.S. But, um, shouldn't this go to the banter and brawl?

Sargatanus: Are you going to buy a Katana, or Smuggle a Samuri Sword out of Japan (although I think a real samuri sword will cost more than 1500$). If you buy a katana, make sure it's not just a cheap POS, and it's pretty hard to find good ones these days on the internet, you should probably go to a knife store, perhaps if there's an Excalibur near you...

Anyway, what I got: A fleece vest from my sister, a fleece longsleeve, a long sleeve shirt, some candys-in-a-box, and a pair of mittens from my mom, a ruler, 3 erasers, and a Dr. Grip pen from my dad, and nothing from my brother. (who recently pulled down <400$ profit from selling 2 PS2's on ebay, and he's keeping the 3rd. It would appear I have alot of stuff, but I got nothing at all I wanted, but the fleeces are nice.

I gave my sister: A crystal ball that's got the world frosted onto the surface.
My brother: Tobler Chocolate orange, and a box of guidiva chocolates.
My mom: a card.
My dad: a card.

(still working on their presents)

"Just because I'm evil doesn't mean I'm not nice."
--Charlie Fulton

I drained my Christmas present slush fund on a PS2 for uh... my roommate! oh yeah, and lots of good games. My parents got me fitted for a tuxedo. (real slick one too. Paisley vest, no wussy kumberbund for me) My bro's getting married in two months, and its their 25th anniversary soon, and I'm invited to a whole barrage of weddings this spring, so they feel I should have one.

My bro got me a few games for the PS2, and my sis got me a nice sweater. Not a bad haul, If I do say so myself.

------------------

Sarg: Why a sword? There'd be no use for one that I could see.

I got:

A tape (oldies songs).

A couple movies.

Terminus.

Some other game that looks a lot like Riven that I haven't tried.

A big bag of mounds bars.

I think that's about all.

Having a vast uncountable number of relatives has its advantages

Let's see :

A voodoo 5
A PS2 with Timesplitters, which I have yet to play
A shiny new mountain bike
The usual assortment of clothes etc
A new ibook.....466mhz lime green.
Deus Ex and a whole plethora of Dreamcast games
Ł500
Food and sweeties, and lots and lots of them.
A gas powered Desert Eagle .50AE airgun.

Um.....I think that's it.

------------------
I have a plan so ingenius even an idiot could have devised it. On my command, we will line up our ships and fly straight into the enemy death-cannons clogging them with wreckage.

Civilization: Call to Power

Metal Gear Solid for Game Boy

Some books

A Wee-Bot from Sharper Image

The Calvin and Hobbes Lazy Sunday Book

And some other stuff

------------------
-Traek Cicion of the Taeskor

-Han Solo

Mag, don't knock the swords man! They're great for displaying and/or cutting things. Potatoes, carrots, pesky neighbors...

Anyways, my haul:

Mittens for snowboarding.

Sheepskin driving gloves.

3 books.

A yo-yo.

Various clothes.

Violin strings (useful!)

Headphones and a car CD adaptor.

Rush CD.

That's all, not too bad.

------------------
Ne Cede Malis Sed Contra Audientor Ito

OOH! Where to start

First, I got a Cobalt Watch (pretty sweet looking, but not as high quality as my other)

A Cobalt pen (Space-age blue & green color scheme)

A book-light (been wanting that for a looooong time)

A sketchpad in a little black velvet book with 8 pencils of varying lead hardness (I'm a budding pencil-sketcher/illustrator, so this was a pleasent surprise)

A leather bible case (I'm SO excited! Lugging that hard-cover Study NIV around isn't the best at youth group gatherings)

A CD (Switchfoot: A New Way To Be Human)

A new bible (The NIV "Life Application Study" Bible. The look of it is a bit classy for me, but it's just bursting with sidenotes, so this was quite nice. Now I have two Bibles)

A whole mess 'o books (I'll name them just cuz I like 'em too much):
"Darwin on Trial" Philip E. Johnson
"And the Angels were Silent" Max Lucado
"No Wonder they call Him Savior" Max Lucado
"About Time" Paul Davies
"The Science of God" Gerald L. Schroeder
"The Genesis Question" Hugh Ross
"Black Holes and Baby Universes" Stephen Hawking
Yes, I'm a philosophical/theological/scientifical freakoid

A CANADIEN Monopoly Set

A HUGE sketchpad/board

Sweatpants with an extra-comfy sweater.

and to finish it off, the monster present of all (drumroll )
a desk.
And a HUGE desk it is! It's glass, with a space-age metal frame that folds under itself or something. 3 peices, we had to rearrange half my room to get it fit. What with my bed being a one-bed bunk-bed (it's just a bed drilled into the wall, really), The combination of this curving 12 ft. desk (estimation) UNDER a bed suspended in the air (with walls of a room painted dark blue with a rocky texture in places) makes for a very cool enviorment.
I'm quite the spoiled little brat.

Haha!

I got Christmas before you!

Actually, I'd love to have any big nice sword to brag to all my friends about and chop watermealons in two.

As for those mounds bars, yum yum!! I LOVE mounds bars! Too bad I didn't get any, though.
