IG-64 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Wacom Intuos3 6x8 tablet. My first tablet. It feels awesome to use, and seemingly works by magic. Also got the Pixar Short Films collection volume 1 on DVD., lots of candy, 20$ from grandma, and various other stuff. Excellent haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Want some salsa for that chip on your shoulder? Seriously though, you got a lot more than the vast majority of the children of the world. Nothing but love TiE <3 I don't like salsa. :''' ( And I got more house than most kids in the world, so HAH! Just saying that cause I'm looking at Ave's and Wally's loads. And I know IG got something pricey, so there, I'm making all you feel guilty... lol. Feel sorry for me dammit. D''': (I keed I keed) I did get a nice ass camera back in June for mah birthday, so that's cool. Oh, and we'll finally be getting a real TV in our living room, so that's great.

D''': Yeah, but you're talking to somebody who has gifts cominf from her parents, grandparents, 2 great grandma's, multiple aunts and uncles, multiple cousins, AND my boyfriend's family. I just have a LOT of family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while theres a lot there, a lot of it was bought for around 5-9 dollars (the CDs/vinyls). I spent just about as much on presents as I got And like Ave, not even half of that stuff was from my parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I didn't get anything big at all this year, birthday included, and the most noteworthy thing I got for Christmas was a 100-pack of Earl Grey tea. Hence, I do believe I have the credentials to say: You're spoiled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Dravis Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I got some clothes (one a Monty Python Knights of Ni shirt, which is pretty awesome) and Coldplay's Viva La Vida Prospekt's March edition.

TiE23 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I love how this thread is already gaining potential to become a consumerism and greed guilt workshop. If you get a good haul, you're greedy. If you wanted more, you're jealous and unappreciative. If you didn't get so much, it's free license to act holier than thou. So... like, don't judge. *Looks at Roxstar* Our new TV looks nice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 My girlfriend got me a Lichtenberg figure! It's a piece of acrylic that they pump a charge from a tesla coil (or similar high voltage generator) into until the acrylic hits the point of dielectric breakdown and the charge is able to briefly flow through it. The streak left behind is a burn from where the charge tried to find a path to ground. It's like frozen lightning! Video of one being made Btw, the ring I got her was very well received. She cried, she shook, and then she hit me because she thought there was no way I could top her gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiE23 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Sounds like someone's feeling guilty at being so greedy and consumeristic. Oh, Tie. You capitalist whore. I have no shame. :V And actually, except for spending money on my gaming hobby, I'm pretty mellow spending money otherwise. I always get the discounts, I opt for the cheaper screens, the cheaper speakers, the food that's on sale. And I couldn't even name my brand of pants right now. My phone is nice but basic, and my MP3 player cost me $90 refurbished a year ago. But in reality, I didn't expect much, and I didn't get much. And for the whole touchy-feely crap about Christmas really being about family... Christmas dinner wasn't very appetizing and I spent most of my time playing Wii bowling with my sister, dad, and cousins... but dammit, that was fun, too. Oh, and I'm getting a DDE on my copy of Wii Sports, bummed out my dad big time. : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoxStar Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 So... like, don't judge. *Looks at Roxstar* Ha sorry man. I was a bit hasty on that terrible terrible salsa joke.

Oh jeez, it seemed like you were trying to make me seem like a greedy dickhead for a second there, cause you know, I never get tired of having to defend myself. My mistake. :[ Brasso that ****! Tried some wonderful toothpaste, didn't help there. But then again its the weird DDE, the disc is pretty good still. Very few minor scratches, nothing serious. Seems like a bad sign. :| Did test one other game, Super Mario Galaxy, and it worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Ooh, very nice! A specific type of ring, mayhaps? Is there a chance of an engagement thread in our future? _EW_ I posted about it on the Very Good Things thread but, oh well, I'll post about it here too because it is a Christmas gift, after all. It's an approximately one and a half thousand year old Celtic bronze ring unearthed ten years ago in an excavation of the Roman Legion occupied area in Vidin, Bulgaria. I gave it to her as a promise ring although an engagement ring probably isn't very far off. She loves odd gifts/old things and this was the only thing I could think of that could top the heart shaped meteorite pendant I gave her over Thanksgiving.
