Clothes. Lots of 'em. And I am happy about it too! I define that as a sign of mental maturity! That, and actually enjoying giving gifts!

Highlighted soft loot: Snazzy new jacket, my old one of that style was getting frayed. The largest scarf I've ever owned. Sweaters en masse! And undies and stuff that is always useful. Come to think of it I hardly got any hard parcels at all, and I'm not unhappy in the least... Wow... I gotta go think about my life now O.o

clothes

Didn't ask for much, couldn't think of anything.

Got anyway:
- New clothes
- A gift certificate to go towards some good boots (I need good boots)
- The Meaning Of Life Extended DVD
- Gaiman X Amano: (!!!) "Sandman: The Dream Hunters"
- Arkham Asylum and Dead Rising 2 from Steem Salez
- A book safe that is blank and can be customized to look like any book
- Various bits and bobs

Steam sales made up for 6 or 7 of my gifts.
The rest: I handbound some books for my family. Went over super well. Was pleased.

♦ Mario Galaxy (Wii)
♦ Skyward Sword (Wii)
♦ Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii)
♦ Fortune Street (Wii)
♦ Dragon Quest VI (DS)
♦ About $370.00 USD
♦ A bunch of random stuff including Star Wars pajamas (I don't watch Star Wars)

(http://i.imgur.com/HncO3.gif)

Nowadays I am the loot provider rather than the receiver. I gave an iPad iGuy thing for my oldest nephew who got an iPad from Santa, a Monster High Wii game for the middle niece, an Elmo plushie for the yougest niece, a bracelet for my girlfriend, a blouse for my mother, a shirt for my father and a wallet for my brother.

I got a lotion, a shirt and thermic underwear.

Okay, I don't feel spoiled anymore. Thanks phubans!

Dragon Quest VI is the shit. Enjoy.

Oh, I also bought some stuff for myself that was on sale on Steam:

♦ E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy
♦ Silent Hill: Homecoming

And here's what I got for my folks:

♦ Shikai Yuzu hand lotion for mom
♦ Assorted scented French soaps for mom (my GF bought them)
♦ Professor Layton: The Last Specter for my grandma (she's 80 but she plays this series)
♦ Awkward Family Photos book for my uncle (he's physically & mentally handicapped; hard to buy for)
♦ 15 games for my little brother, including Portal 2, Limbo, Divine Cybermancy, and Humble Indie Bundles 3 & 4

And I got some nice stuff for my GF but I'm not seeing her for another week+ so I don't want to post what I got her in case she happens to lurk here.

The Stand by Stephen King (And jesus christ it's huge.)
A new mic (Sister broke my old headset)
A usb gamepad (finally!)
50 dollars in best buy gift cards.
A sweet ass watch.
and a full set of DND dice.

$, booze, couple of videogaming t-shirts, tickets to an Aussie metal festival thing called Soundwave.. think that about covers it.

LOOK AT THEM
THEY ARE ALL THE SAME

I love the "My brother got an iphone and I got a map of Maryland"  :lol:

That's pretty sad though - that they didn't get iphones.

Or cars

but sometimes cars but no iphones

The most heartbreaking of them all.

CS Books!
- The Art of Computer Programming - Volume 1
- The Pragmatic Programmer
- The Mythical Man-Month
- Code Complete
- Programming Pearls

- ~$100 from various relatives
- New wallet
- iPod case
- Random food and small stuffs

I got a copy of Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut, a muffin tin and a large soup bowl (so now I can fit a whole can in just one bowl). Big gift was money towards an HD TV, which I just picked up today. I'm pretty ecstatic, just need to find the HDMI cables to hook up my PS3 and I'll be golden.

No console games this year, I think this is the first. Just a couple Steam games. Got a cool NES controller shirt I didn't ask for but I really like. The best gifts are the ones you get that aren't on your list but you like anyway.

My super rad little bro got me a couple jigsaw puzzles, sorted out the edge pieces and threw them away, then mixed up what was left in unrelated boxes so I can't see the pictures. He knows exactly what I like.

I think next year I'm going to ask for people to just donate to charity in my name. Now that I have a pretty good job I feel lame making up long lists of things I want.

Very pleased with what I received:

-A ton of nice clothes, lots of sweaters, a nice pair of corduroys.
-A watch
-Some nice mechanical pencils
-6oz loose Earl Grey, 2oz loose Gyokuro Genmaicha (reminds my of Boryokudan of Gemini Rue) from my parents, and a tea sampler from my bro

and a nice game idea from Santa Claus.

• clothes
• 3DS + Super Mario 3D Land
• Serious Sam 3: BFE (well technically I got this 2 or so weeks ago but it still counts as a Christmas gift for them I think)
• $$$
• a chair that doesn't suck

Cool stuff overall. I didn't ask for much this year except BFE so the 3DS was a surprise (an awesome surprise (3D hurts my eyes tho.))

Plus a couple lenses, tripod, and shoulder rig.

Wow...

I just replied to about a half a dozen of these ungrateful little fucks so far:

https://twitter.com/#!/phubans

I think I'll stop now so my account doesn't get suspended but what a bunch of pussies.

this is difficult to read

what a bunch of disgusting human beings

At least a few of them seem sarcastic.  But then again, what with this being in text and all...
And yeah, that is retarded.  You know what I got for christmas?  A book.

And I was damn happy.

Dude. Not cool. (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1225304/ok/spedude.png)

Aren't you, like, 30 or something? I thought by then that most people would have grown up. Yet here you are, acting like yet another retarded 16-year-old internet troll, telling people to kill themselves for acting as immaturely as you are right now. And don't think everybody is as thick-skinned as you are. There are people out there who respond to hateful comments like the Vic Viper responds to laser beams. People who internalize your comments and whose minds use them as a rationalization of how terrible of a person they are. People who were on the brink of suicide going into Christmas, disappointed coming out of it, and now are being ruthlessly attacked for an off-hand comment that they thought would disappear into the great void of Nobody Cares. But now everybody cares. Everybody hates them. And Dad got some shotgun ammo for Christmas. One more person doesn't make it to adulthood, because another just couldn't fuckin' grow up.

Thankfulness is a virtue, but common human decency is a more important one.

(also, don't make suicide jokes...it's my dragonmaw button)

Dragonmaw button?

haha depressed so bad that you didn't get an iphone for christmas??

yeah..no. these 'people' are far from human. closer relation to robots if you ask me.

Yeah, so I was going to relate to how I've noticed that you are hostile toward people who exhibit certain traits (like homophobia, transphobia, etc), but then I realized that that's insensitive of me to single you out like that. After all, we all have our hot-button issues, and the only thing that makes you different is the level of moderation power. And, were I in your shoes, I'd probably act similarly against those who run afoul of my hot-button issues (like depression, suicide, etc). I think most people would. It was incredibly wrong of me to equate your name with a vice, moreso as it is one that runs prevalently throughout humanity, and for that I sincerely apologize.

...Looks like I have some growing up to do, too...

Well this thread was nice while it lasted.

It still lasts, my friend! The day yet lives!

Let's just talk about what we got and gave for the holidays. I'm sorry if I offended anybody.

Not exactly a christmas gift, but
Using saved money and gift certificates and etc I managed to scrape together one of these:
(http://a.img-dpreview.com/reviews/Panasonicdmcg3/images/front-001.jpg)
which I hope will serve me well. MFT is looking pretty gewd.

Also, as a 'christmas gift' a coworker sold me his old iPod touch he doesn't use anymore super cheaps. If anyone can recommend apps, please do.

wow
that site might have done a favor for them, maybe they will stop being brats after that.

I was tempted to ask for a 3DS and Super Mario 3D Land, but I'd rather wait until they remodel the 3DS as they will inevitably do and the games are a bit cheaper (Mario Land was selling for over $50 - $60 on Amazon during the holidays!!)

I'm also not sure how to feel about the 3D... I know you can turn it down/off, but that kind of defeats the purpose. I have a feeling it's going to bug my eyes/sensory input in general D: But this isn't a 3DS thread, so I'll say no more.

I got fuck-all. I couldn't even get a hangover.

But starsrift doesn't need love, or material expressions thereof. starsrift is a machine for processing liquor and caffeine into code.

Back to work! :coffee:

I got retro mp3 speakers (speakers in the form of a mini-amp), gel, clothes, cologne and sex.

I got a pack of dollar store mechanical pencils and a 99 cent 4x6 inch canvas.
Yay christmas.

Stuff from Parents:

- Khokhloma bowl + saucer.
- Cheburashka doll (regular one; not the Olympic-era white and red one which might be more collectible in some nominal sense but I think it looks stupid so w/e).
- Plush catbus (I have no idea. Not that I don't appreciate this -- I do -- but that was out of nowhere).
- A cat matryoshka.
- Some Russian book about spies.
- Another Russian children's book about a golden-crowned rooster which is mostly notable because the cover art has a picture of a decidedly feminine fox sucking on its finger while making bedroom eyes at the titular rooster. I think the book is about how the fox is trying to eat the rooster but the art just makes it look like it's trying to "eat" the rooster.
