I got a nice Seiko watch with solar power so I never need to change a battery. I also got $100 cash so I can buy some stuff.

For those who might have got gift cards or money, TRU is having B1G150% off - though they might be desolate after being raped by over 9000 penises of disgusting americans.

Also: plasticjungle.com - You can exchange it for a different card, or Amazon credit.

Started a game download on steam, went to the folks and had dinner, came home to a "reboot and insert proper boot device" error with only 1GB of a 15GB game finished, so much for playing that this evening, running an integrity check but I might have gotten an extra-special HDD failure for Christmas

and some clothes

Someone got me the first season of Community on dvd.
....

I got a meat and cheese box, gloves, socks, underwear, a 50 dollar best buy card, boots, like 10 30 dollar phone cards, bedding, some other bad dvds. Besides the lame stuff I appreciate the practicality of the gifts, nothing I feel like I can have fun with though.

We are all spoiled fucks. I got 250 bucks. Now that I'm out of college that's probably the last time too.

Groogrux · « **Reply #79 on:** December 26, 2010, 08:37:09 AM »

For me, a lot of the stuff I got was through gift exchanged with family. So it's really like I just went out and bought myself some of it. And there are quite a few pieces on that list that were $1 items that were thrown in to a package just to make the gift bigger. In terms of monetary value, you got more than me... But I'm still extremely happy with what I got!

Great haul so far. Especially FF14. That still cracks me up for some reason.

A bunch of giftcards,
A new blender
Maijin 360, Enslaved 360 and MS points
Some clothes
A Batman graphic novel from my sis
Some rechargeable batteries

Then I promptly ran to a local vid chain on Boxing Day that was having a buy one/get two free sale (!) and picked up CastleVania, Force Unleashed 2 and Dead Rising 2 for $40.

Mupepe · « **Reply #86 on:** December 27, 2010, 10:51:24 AM »

Oblivion
Condemned
Fallout 3
Fable 3
Armani Code cologne
Pan's Labyrinth
Inception
Cronos
two shirts
glasses
blender
griddle

oblivion, condemned and fallout 3 are back catalog games i asked for. I've beaten Oblivion but I've had the urge to play it again. Never finished Fallout 3 and now I want to. Watched a weird noir movie a while back and it made me want to play Condemned again. I've learned my lesson about selling games back. Never again.

Yoritomo · « **Reply #90 on:** December 27, 2010, 12:56:14 PM »

Too many people over to get good pics and then it was eaten immediately. I'll make another one soon for my side of the family and take some pics. I'll describe it though. Center temp was a solid 135. Was stuffed with Garlic and tied with pepper, garlic, and salt on the outside. Cooked at 450 for 15 minutes, then cooked for 3 hours at 225 (oven was inconsistent and varied from 218-240 which is where the dutch oven helped to even out the inconsistency. Dutch oven was open while in the larger oven). Pulled from the oven when center temp was 125-128 and then let sit with the dutch oven covered for about 45 minutes. Some drippings had been poured out when I pulled it from the oven and used it to make some au jus. Poured a bit back in on the top of the roast before letting it sit the 45 minutes to even out the temp and finish. Served with high temp cooked asparagus, mashed potatoes, and the usual christmas trappings.
