    Default GIMME GIMME GIMME or the what did you receive for Christmas thread 2.0!!!

    Well I figured I'd start this now as people get sent gifts early and such. We're just a few days away anyhow. So post all your awesome pressies and maybe even along with some pics!!!!

    Just a couple of hours after posting this checked the mail and got some cards!!!

    So far 70 bucks and a 200$ Wal-mart card

    Also another 250$ in Christmas monies

    If I had waited until I had everything together and not spent almost all of the first bunch of stuff I'd be on a PS3 right now...

    Didn't get anything this year. My family back home aren't in very good shape financially, and here in Japan, Christmas just isn't that big a thing, and generally when people give presents it'll either be parents giving to their kids, or people giving to their boyfriends / girlfriends. I did receive some pretty cards from people around the world, though. And I bought myself a few nice presents including lots of clothes, a DVD boxset of a Korean drama that I like, and a lovely 264 page book of piano sheet music from the Seiken Densetsu / Secret of Mana series.

    I also just got Dishonored for 360. Didn't know what to expect from that person this year considering we always discuss exciting releases, but had not this year. Hadn't seen anything about it yet, but BETHESDA.

    I got a decent haul of mostly videogames, as usual Let's see, a non-preorder LE of The Last Story, Resi 6, Kirby's 20th Anniversary Collection, Skyrim, MGS HD Collection and New Super Mario Bros. Then for no reason some InuYasha bluray, and the new seasons of Slayers which I've been meaning to buy~ Some Pot of Golds, $1000000200 and some random candy. Here, lookie:

    Spoiler warning:


    No clothes for a random change, I didn't expect that.
    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    Sweet F.A.

    This was the first time I had not been in receipt of something, but on the contrary, this Christmas also marked the first time I had bought gifts for someone else, and really, it didn't feel half bad.

    Ragnar, I'd love to join you on RE6 some time soon.
