lolz, got the drop on you suckers. :-*

By tonight, I will know just how much my family loves me on a material scale... basically, this is a "what did you get, what do you like, what will you be returning/regifting" thread. ;)

I dont return or regift things. That's for distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.

Nor do I. I like anything folks get me -- unless it's luggage when they told me I was getting a new Sound Blaster Live :'(

or clothes when they told me they were getting me SMB3 :'( :'( :'(

Once I spent the holidays with a former friend of mine's family, and his distinguished mentally-challenged brother gave me used socks.

I still have the socks, and use them as my cum rag. Even the most boring presents can be useful! :hyper

I got final fantasy v advance from cloudwalking, and she's going to get me Kirby Squeak Squad as well

Should I count that X360 wireless adapter from Crow as part of XMas? I dunno. I guess I will.

Rumblings heard over the coast say I'm getting a PSP as well, hopefully its HAXXable

Still got various other good tidings coming from people, waiting for Robby's package :heartbeat

He sent me a Kingdom Hearts poster and some other package, but the tube came first... oh well.

Some gift cards. $30 Kroger card. Food! $5 McDonalds Card. Heart Attack! $10 Walmart card. Dunno what to get with that.

I won't get much. No big. I am CONTEMPT (is that the right word, I hope someone gives me a dictionary for Christmas)

The Wire. Best Buy still has all 3 seasons for 50% off online right now. At least buy Seasons 1 and 2, they're only 27 bucks each. That takes care of the $50 Gift Card.

I've only watched 5 episodes of Season 1, but it's great. I would've finished it by now, but a friend and I have promised to watch Seasons 1 and 2 together.

Morphix, Ender's Game is probably the most enjoyable sci-fi book I've ever read.  I haven't read a ton, but damn son, I love that book.  I hope the audio cd is well done, word has it a movie is being kicked around, but I don't know how well the concept would translate to a movie.  The book is in my top ten, easily.  I really want to read the rest of the series, but it's been so long since I read Ender's Game I'd have to start with that again.



For Christmas I got:

$100 Food Lion gift Certificate!

Nice brown soft leather jacket.

Light grey blue Tommy Hilfiger shirt (makes my eyes glow  :-*)

$25 Chic Fil A gift certificate

$25 Outback gift certificate.

6 pack of socks

3 pack of buttered microwave popcorn

3 packs of Lance crackers

8 pack paper towels

12 pack of toilet paper  :-*

10 new cherry Hershey Kisses (they taste just like chocolate covered cherries, so yummy)

3 packs Raman Noodles

Jar of Penut Butter



I still saved a couple of gifts for tomorrow, including my secret santa gift from here  :-*  I'm old fashioned and like to do Christmas, you know, on Christmas.  But tonight was when the family did gifts, so there I was.  I also have a Wii coming whenever we're able to get one at a store. 

Merry Christmas everyone :)

Ender's Game told from his friend's POV, is that Shadow?  I heard it flips Ender's Game upside down
[close]

Ender's Shadow is told by his young "apprentice" in Ender's Game (IIRC his name was Bean?), and has more to do with living in Ender's Shadow and growing up "on the streets". Its no Ender's Game, but its pretty damn good.

Hmmm, the plot of the book that interested me was

spoiler (click to show/hide)
You find out that Ender's Game was all a setup, a plan to train Bean to be the real Ender, or something like that

Could have been the book after Ender's Shadow?

From my parents:
a new flash drive
a dvd/vhs player for my room
an Applebee's gift card because I go there every Wednesday
clothes
a new phone/answering machine for my landline

Money from my gram and pop, and both my uncles.

A framed photo of Kurt Cobain from one of my uncles.

A Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins shirt from my brother.

A No Doubt concert dvd and beautiful earrings from two of my friends.

A scarf, a candle and holder, lip gloss, sour Skittles (YES!), and a gorgeous necklace from my secret santa at work.

A hat/scarf/gloves set I wanted from Ecrofirt.

He and I are exchanging the rest of our presents tomorrow at his Nana's.

I totally lucked out, and I didn't even get a lot of my presents yet!


DJ_Tet, Skyy is my favorite vodka. :heartbeat

So far:

around $200 in cash and Visa gift cards
Gears of War (no Rainbow Six Vegas, sadly  :-\)
a 320 GB external harddrive
some candy
pajama pants
a 13 month Xbox Live Gold subscription card
I'm going to buy myself some VC games tomorrow (SUPER FUCKING CASTLEVANIA IV :D)
and a 1 GB flash drive.

I'm probably going to pick up the Ultimate Bond DVDs with the money, or the HD-DVD attachment for the 360. Either that, or I will save it for the PS3, because MGS4 is eventually going to come out, and that's really the only thing I want it for at the moment (besides being curious about Resistance).

This year is also lacking on DVDs.... I expected to see M:I3 or that HD-DVD drive under the tree... and that didn't happen, sadly enough. Damn. I still have presents to go tomorrow, so we will see.

A bunch of clothes, makeup, jewelry, trinkets, music, iPod clock radio (I had the iPod beforehand) body wash, hand soap, perfume, games.

I took the photo with my new CANON POWERSHOT 6 MP DIGITAL ELPH omggg

this is the thread where we reveal what we received for xmas.

now, where you live, perhaps $3,000 is equivalent to $1,000,000.

not the case here.

both of my parents earn six figure incomes, making $3,000 a modest present.

it's also going towards my bills, for what it's worth.

again, it's not my fault that you come from a family that's less giving.

You don't even know how many times I've heard them say "We can order it for you!"

You notice the shit you want is NEVER on sale!?

I swear they mark shit up too. I remember paying $89.99 (before taxes) for some Puke on Pearls and the box said MSRP $75.00. Of course they have the monopoly on Dunks locally and that was a colorway exclusive to their store... so it's not like you can shop around for a lower price.

Fuck Journey's.

Oh, on topic of the thread I ordered this with some of my Xmas money:

I love all the books in the series, from beginning to end. The Ender's Shadow series is just as fantastic. They're the only books I've ever been able to read that really draw me into their story completely.

And about the Shadow books: I've either since forgotten since reading Ender's Shadow, or it wasn't explicitly mentioned, but I never got the impression

that Bean was being trained to be the real Ender. Bean, as the stories progress, ends up becoming a major player in Earth's military/government/political affairs, but he doesn't do anything else with the buggers.

Probably not. I doubt my brothers are going to get a Wii this week so I won't be able to keep the Gamecube. They're visiting me and they brought the GC so I'll rent Zelda tomorrow along with Blade Runner.

Where can you do a receiptless return of a PS3?  Walmart?  Does Gamestop allow them up to a certain date?

I just saw Beerfest for the first time recently. I found it to be terribly unfunny.

It's from the same guys that did Super Troopers right? Shit, that movie is hilarious.

It's definitely better than Club Dredd, but lacks the overall Laugh Out Loud hilarity of Super Troopers.

Disposable White Guy and I watched it Christmas Eve (it was a gift from him, no less) while drinking beer.  It's worth seeing, while drinking beer.  Definitely funnier than Club Dread but not as funny as Super Troopers.  There are some great bits, though.  I wish the actual Beerfest competition took center stage.

I watched Pirates 2 on DVD the other day, for the first time since my theatrical experience. I had a great time with it in theatres, but watching it again on DVD, in a more critical/intimate setting, the flaws just shot right out at me. I think the scope and excitement of the theatrical spectacle blinded many, including myself. Kudos to Disney for pulling the wool over my eyes.

NEVAR! Seriously though, I think Disney has rather brilliantly pulled a (or 3) fast one on us, and is laughing all the way to the bank.

I dont HATE Pirates 2 by any means, but I cant understand how I rated it so highly when it came out. I would rate Pirates a 5/10 (I DO hate this one) and Pirates 2 a 7/10.

World War Z.

Fucking awsome book. I love "What If?" stories like this and Fatherland. Bought it at the airport yesterday and read the whole thing on the flight from Seattle to Minneapolis to Omaha.

I really hope that whoever turns this into a film resists the temptation to make it an action flick, and stays true to the format of the book.

Club Dread was one of the worst films I can remember seeing. Super Troopers is just a few notches below classic status.
