Christmas gifts (what did you get?)

[Reisal]

So what did everyone get this year? I got:

Logitech Z-2300 speakers
$50
Ozzy era Black Sabbath boxset
Long sleeved shirts
Plush blanket
Hot sauce 5 pack
Swiss chocolate
Snow sneakers
Flannel pajama pants

How about you guys? What did the Doomers get this year?

[Mr. Freeze]

$200
Several Giftcards (Best Buy and Dunkies)
"Best Album Covers" Book
$50 Gas card

Pretty goddamn good, if you ask me.

[Alfonzo]

I don't know yet. I usually wait until I'm in the mood to open everything up so I can appreciate them more, although a couple Christmases ago this meant holding out 'till mid February. Hopefully my friends and family won't phone up before then asking what I thought of the gifts as I'd then have to make a mad dash for the Christmas tree (if it's still up) and surprise myself prematurely.

Oh, that's not all quite true actually. I opened a tub of Haribo jellies last night after I ran out of cookies in the pantry.

[AveryMaurice]

Radeon HD 5670 Graphics Card
Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
A nice watch (I love watches)
Hoodies (I love hoodies as well)
Razer High-Def Gaming Headset

Oh, and best of all, the book Masters of Doom.

[Craigs]

I got a few gift cards, one of them an american express gift card with $50 on it, two amazon cards, one with $100, the other with $25. I also got $30 in cash. My step brother also got me Call of Dicks: Black Cocks too. I'm probably going to use the AE card to buy some games off steam. There's also some stuff I wanted to get off Amazon too.

And that's it i think. Not much, but i'm not all for the gift side of christmas so it's all good.

[Marnetmar]

55 bucks, a turntable, a lava lamp and The Big 4 DVD. (The ultra-expensive collector's edition that costs like 70 bucks!)

[Alboroto]

A cheap wallet.

We played a "secret santa" type of game in my house. They forgot to put my name on the list.

The wallet was a "don't feel bad, here's something for you type of gift" from my nephew

My sister got an iphone
My dad got a new laptop
Mom got a 32' LED tv.
My nephew got a Xbox/kinect bundle pack

[Whoo]

XFX Radeon HD 5770
$110
Clothes
$25 Best Buy Gift Card

Will probably use the $110 to get a Phenom II tri-core processor.

Damn, did you not show any interest in getting gifts beforehand, or are you not liked and this is their way of showing you?

I'd predict it will chug during pre-rendered cut scenes and I wouldn't suggest using the CD music.

That they are! Or at least, I know that the first one rocked ass, but I don't know about the second one (wanted to buy the second one, but it was sold already, so I bought the third one instead), but since it's Wario Land, it'd most likely kick ass aswell!

It can, but you'll need to combine a GTX 470 or better with it. You'll benchmark your system by just playing it.
