Me toooooo! Along with Mario Kart and all controllers needed. Had such a laugh with it and Christmas drunkenness. Plus an HDTV, loads of champagne, and cash. All the goodstuff was from my girlfriend - who I'm asking to marry me tomorrow on boxing day. Besides my parents, all you lot are the first to know - wish me luck! The expensive family heirloom ring sitting in my bag all ready to go for the walk tomorrow. I think boxing day might be more exiting that Xmas.
I've been buying stuff for myself all month. In terms of actual presents I got a new bed and various other things for around the house as I'm moving into a new place in about a week. Not great as presents but it really helps me out that I don't have to buy everything. My bedroom right now looks like the back of a freight truck.
Probably going to buy more junk for myself now. Merry Christmas, PC.:)
Me either It's supposed to turn off when it gets out of range of the remote! It was sort of hilarious though.
LOL dude if it makes you feel ANY better, I went around the corner to pick up some juice for my folks who were staying with me for the holidays, and I literally went around the corner of my complex and had my car touch the "corner" of the side walk as I drove off which had enough force and angle to perfectly puncture the SIDE of my tire to the point I need to replace the full thing. Most expensive fucking juice I had to buy EVER.
Edit: I got mario 25 years, my dad telling me I can get a pair of nice headphones, and a DVD of my exploits as a wee remi doing stupid things on dvd.

I got myself; a few too many games, a badly needed new office chair and a bunch of household items I needed.
My parents got my a nice zip up hoodie with fleece interior and lots Christmas feasting!
I got a Dremel Trio and a $100 gift card to Barnes & Nobles
I'm also spending the holidays down in Callaway Gardens in Georgia. It snowed a little last night, which kinda sucks but the weather isn't as bad as Massachusetts. I just hope the snowstorm up north doesn't delay my flight home tomorrow.
- A 1TB USB Drive
- Unofficial "Metallica: Lyrics anthology and translations" book
- A gift card for local book/game/media store
- A big alarm clock (around the size of a hanging one)
Also bought myself an BD version of NiN's "The Gift" fan-made concert album and a pair of cheap phones - Soundmagic PL10. Still waiting for both to arrive...

For a moment I thought you said you got the Ricki Lake show on DVD...
this is the first year I didn't get any games for xmas!
I got a shitload of art and color learning books
a book on learning to play Piano
3 seasons of Curb your Enthusiasm
Agalloch's new album
and money for new clothes
wooly socks! nice clothes! 120 days of WoW time and Super Street Fighter 4 along with a bunch of steam games and some good books. The best was of course the christmas dinner
I'm now happily typing on my new Logitech G510 keyboard ^-^ Really been looking forward to it.
I got Star Ocean 1+2 for psp and some moneys too... Yay!
And, err... gloves. Yay?
Art supplies ( graphite and acrylic pens)
Money that went toward me buying a ps3. Got two jobs this year and I didn't buy any fancy gift for myself to celebrate. Now I have. Yeaah!
Duff beer.
Movie tickets.
Deoderant. Uh oh.
Super awesome magnetic balls that you can make tons of awesome shapes and stuff with. Love it
From gf family. Beer. A shirt. Chocolate and wasabi nuts.
All in all I got alot of what I put on my "wish list" but the best part is the food and the chillin. .
Halo Reach, Mass Effect 2, and Sin & Punishment: Star Successor. My little brother got me a copy of the sixth Penny Arcade book, hardback, limited 1000 copy run, with Gabe and Tycho's signatures inside the cover. My other little brother got me a sweet Keurig coffee maker. I'm pretty much set for the next few months.
I got 75$ and a CthulhuD20 roleplaying book, as well as a sweater and a comic book from my cousin who works at Dark Horse. I also got to see family that lives far away/do not see them often. All in all, good time.
I was going to ask if you wanted to do a gift trade till I clicked. false advertising!
Agust got me a sweet-ass microwave/convection oven combo. He knows I hate microwaves, but he wanted one, so this way we both have what we wanted. Plus an ipod dock.
My mother in law got me this!! It's a massive black cock coin-bank. The plug to get the money out is in the butt!
We also got some other cool house schwag from his relatives. I got Agust a Kindle which I have already used more than him, we're reading through the Dark Tower series on it.
I got everything I wanted this year and was surprised when my parents got me an Iphone. I've been using an old Motorola Razr for years so this will be quite a leap.
I also got 5.1 surround sound for my TV, Star Trek Next Generation 1-7, IT Crowd T Shirts, Donkey Kong Country: Returns (Which is faithful to the originals I'll admit but there are some design decisions I'd have changed if I were lead designer.) and the Sly Cooper Collection for PS3.

One of my favourite things I got this xmas was the Kobo (chapters version of the Kindle) and I'm LOVING it.

How on earth are you going to watch tutorials on an iPod? The cursor would be a pixel big O.x
