Topic: Christmas Presents

[BLOOD MONKEY]

This is a place for everybody to share their presents they got.

My christmas presents: A Playstation 4 controller for my PC from Mom and Dad. Some good headphones from Santa Clause. A 100$ gift card for Micheal's from Santa. I also got alot of Japanese books from my Grandpa Chris and Grandma Colleen. I'm very happy with my presents.

Sweet! Here's what I got:
-a $30 Gift Card from my sister.
-a Computer Chair from my mom to replace my old rickety one.  I'll be using this every day, basically.
-a dress shirt/tie from mom again.
-some black running shoes from mom again.
-some toiletries/bath things from my uncle (antiperspirant, shaving cream, body wash, etc.)
-some cologne & stuff from my other sister.
-a shirt from my sister (she got the size wrong so I have to exchange it, but it's a nice shirt)

-there is a gift coming in the mail from someone, but it did not arrive on time so I don't know what it is, yet.

So...many...gifts... can't...hold 'em...

Nice pics you guys 

I didn't get a whole lot for christmas, but that's only due to the fact that my birthday is three days after, on the 28th. The one present that stands out the most is this one I got for Lego;



Now all that's missing is a Belmont

I'm not into Legos, but holy balls that looks cool.

My girlfriend got me some cool prezzies. Like, a lot. I told her she didn't have to but she said she wanted to spoil me. I accepted.

She got me the Tales from the Crypt EC Archives Vol. 4:

and some cool shirts:

That gal knows me. Spoiler tags used for how spoiled I am.

My sister made me a cool tree ornament which I unfortunately don't have a picture of right now, and my parents gave me the usual money gift which so far I've used to get Stephen Thrower's Nightmare USA, which is said to be one of the best, most comprehensive books on the subject of American horror exploitation movies and has been out of print and expensive for a long time, but finally got a fourth hardcover reprinting and was thankfully available for purchase on Amazon. (Importing from the publisher would have been way more expensive due to shipping and currency exchange rate.)

So yeah, a buncha cool-ass stuff. I also bought Shantae and the Pirate's Curse on Wii U which is pretty dern fun. Less Simon's Quest like the impression the first game gave me (from the little I played) and more Monster World IV.

Your girlfriend's fucking awesome.

So...many...gifts... can't...hold 'em...

Why does that pic look familiar...

Well, I haven't got quite the holiday swag you peeps got, but I'm more than glad with my gift haul.
-Cologne/deo/bath set from the aunts (always down for these, though I think they're trying to tell me something)
-A surprising number of scratch tickets, oddly (with the payout being moar tickets)
-A pair of good black Skullcandys (I'd just bought new headphones, coincidentally, but hey, Skullcandy's a damn good brand)
-Various clothes (including a new paddy cap, fuck yeah!)

And finally, this beautiful sumbitch here:

Finally have a reason to go vinyl shopping again. 

[Abnormal Freak]

I keep thinking I'd like to get a good turntable and amp but am concerned about how expensive it would be to acquire the records I want. I'd stick mostly to industrial music, but a lot of my favorite albums have been out of print on vinyl for decades and are pretty sought after.

Sweet! I gotta get me one of those.

-So far I got my one xmas wish from my mom... a bunch of new underwear! (No. Seriously I needed new underwear.)
-With my earnings from my Santa Clause gigs I got myself a bunch of eShop games for my WiiU. So much so that I had to delete a bunch of demos and even some apps.
-I also ordered some new hardware for my PC and my WiiU. The first of which arrived today; a usb harddrive adapter so I could add my 7th HDD to my dinosaur of a machine. I also ordered a powered USB hub and a 2.5 inch harddrive case for the WiiU but they haven't arrived yet.
-My friend who got me the Santa Clause gigs also gave me a giftcard and a free movie ticket. Those will come in handy.
-That's pretty much it, but I haven't seen most of my other friends since before the holiday so I'll have to see what happens.

The hunt is half the fun.

My girlfriend called me a f** when she found out I liked Hello Kitty.
...
She gave me a Hello Kitty PEZ dispenser and coffee mugs. 


Steel Diver from my brother (he's on a budget).

Almond Roca from my parents.

Another slow cooker from my mom (I returned it, she got me one two years ago also).

A couple sci-fi books from my stepdad.

[Shiroi Koumori]

-I got a bunch of long sleeved shirts from my aunts and uncles. Argh... I can't wear them in this hot country. Oh well, they'll serve a purpose as vacation clothes in winter/spring Japan.
-Some cash and toiletries.
-The best one I got was from my mom. McFarlane's Assassin's Creed Series 3 Arno, Altair and Ezio.

Would she change her tune if she saw a Hello Kitty in storm Trooper armor shirt? my sis's got that one, lol.

[theANdROId]

I want that Lego!  I'm gonna have to go find one!

I got:
- Some cash
- Gamestop gift card
- A LoZ coffee mug (the original LoZ on NES.  The mug has the A and B boxes from the game, and a life bar that changes color with the heat of the coffee)
- A Tin Man/Heart coffee mug (because of the transplant I had...many in my family are calling me "Tin Man" now)
- A ton of Bill Cosby's comedy CDs and DVDs (I have his first I think...where he does the bits about drugs and dentists and childbirth...I quote it all the time, so the family gave me more of his collection)
- An LoZ puzzle (I think it's an OoT map made to look all "old-timey")
- A WiiU pro controller
- Captain Toad Treasure Tracker

Pretty awesome stuff!

[Bloodreign]

Bought my own gifts, all PS2 Japanese imports:

King of Fighters 02
King of Fighters 03
King of Fighters Nests

Gee I wonder if I have King of Fighter-itis lately. This will just about finish the yearly set for me, all I need is 12, which I have no interest in. Also don't have the PS1 or Saturn (95 is offlimits as I'm not cart swapping to ruin my Saturn's cart slot, it's a US one), the GB/GBA ones, and 02 Unlimited Match Tougeki version PS2 (lol $150 for it, one day I'll break down and buy it). Nothing's in yet as I ordered one day prior to Christmas Eve, but according to my tracking numbers, and the USPS site, everything should arrive today (Saturday).

Dude, my birthday is on the 28th! My relatives make sure the presents don't mix.

LOL! Well you're the second person whom I know of that share's the same birth-date. The other is a woman at the bookstore where I work at. Came as a shock to her as well!
