Loot Flaunting Thread

[Exeson]

Well, some cultures I know open their 'wrapped boxes of mixed surprise' on Christmas eve so I might as well put this up now.

Everyone likes to brag... or complain (:smalltongue:) so here is the thread to show off all the loot you have gathered. Happy Christmas!

:smallbiggrin:

[RabbitHoleLost]

So far, the only thing I know I'm getting is a drawing from my Lion friend of my two favorite Clone Wars character taking part in adult behaviors.
I am excited.

[Mattarias, King.]

I think I'm getting a 4e DMG, so that's pretty cool. :smallbiggrin: I'll feel like I'm a real DM! Now I just need a PHB! :smalltongue:

[Ilena]

Lol i know im getting a necklace from a friend .... and aside from that, i get a wonderful gift from work! being told that im working xmas! woot! paid for sleeping as whos going to call on xmas? *highly sarcastic comment please disregard :P*

[reorith]

[Gamerlord]

I haven't opened my presents yet, but I hacked into my mothers amazon account so I already know:
4e adventurers vault
Dungeon masters screen
5 MTG 2010 booster packs.
$25 or more amazon gift card
Socks :smallannoyed:
T-shirt, but I bet it has a dragon on it :smallbiggrin: ! She knows my favorite shirts are those with dragons on it.

[Perenelle]

i got a rock

ahaha. :smallbiggrin:
that was the Charlie Brown Halloween episode though! wrong holiday! :smalltongue:

[xyzzy]

The only things I know for sure are NaNoWriMo winner's t-shirt and a 1.5 TB external hard drive, because my parents are the awesome kind who accept that they have no idea what to get me and just ask :smallbiggrin:

[Gamerlord]

The only things I know for sure are NaNoWriMo winner's t-shirt and a 1.5 TB external hard drive, because my parents are the awesome kind who accept that they have no idea what to get me and just ask :smallbiggrin:

Mine are like that too, except they tell me to give them my wish list and they will pick stuff from it, this year's list was big.

[Quincunx]

We exchanged our presents today and will open the box from my family tomorrow.

For him: Dragon Age: Origins (PC), Legend of Zelda 'it was the last copy in the store so I grabbed it without paying attention to the subtitle' (Wii)
For me: Gift card for online fabric retailers. When I went to one of them today, it listed a clearance of the online fabrics, 65% off everything still in stock. :smallbiggrin:

Good times all around!

[xPANCAKEx]

haven't got a clue what else i've got, but i know im getting a pair of these:

http://www.espyclothing.com/images/prodpic-2461a-180-230.jpg

[Mauve Shirt]

I have received a jar of bees. I know I'm getting plane tickets. This has been a really screwy Christmas season, so I don't know what else I'm getting tomorrow.

[Phae Nymna]

I still have between 16-20 hours before anyone in my family opens a present.
In the mean time, we're all wrapping things like crazy.

[Zar Peter]

Three Singstar DVDs, two books and a Winter Jacket (+ scarf).

And Son 1 is playing with his new DSi and the other two kids are sitting around him laughing so I think it was a pretty cool christmas.

[Moff Chumley]

I got an EHX Memory Boy! :smallbiggrin:

[d13]

Santa tends to forget about me pretty often, being that I'm the oldest son/nephew/etc in the family, so I'm supposed to be giving the little ones with the rest of the adults.

At any rate, I always get a present or two, but it's still 7 pm here, so I'll have to wait another couple of hours.-

[drakir_nosslin]

Since we had decided that there would be no Christmas gifts this year, and that we should spend the money on doing something together, the whole family, so far my gifts include: Free food, free lodging, nice people, honey and a box with After Eight.

I'm totally happy and I haven't spent a single time trying to come up with gifts, and I know that no one else has either. No stress and no worrying that I've bought the wrong things. :smallwink:

[xPANCAKEx]

I got an EHX Memory Boy! :smallbiggrin:

thats some tasty goodness

[Dispozition]

I know I'm getting the newest Robert Jordan book, and one of these (http://s7ondemand7.scene7.com/is/image/FossilPartners/JR9121_main?$fossil_detail$). I might also be getting a photography book, and I think that's it. Pretty small christmas this year :P

I'll be finding out for certain in about...2 hours, tops.

[The Dark Fiddler]

I got a subscription to a gaming magazine.

I also got my parents paying for my trip to Japan with the People to People Student Ambassador Program, although I do have to pay them back. (Not that I'm complaining. $7000? A lot.)

But still, a gaming magazine! :smalltongue:

[Froogleyboy]

It's only 4PM here so I gotta wait :(

[Mystic Muse]

I KNOW I'm getting Start of darkness.

not entirely sure what else other than a Dice bag.

[Exeson]

Well, I have to wait still as well, although on the 22nd my girlfriend took me ice skating at Somerset House, which was amazingly beautiful. :smallbiggrin:

[The Orange Zergling]

My haul this year consists of:

-Somewhere Out in Space & No World Order by Gamma Ray
-The Essential Weird Al Yankovic
-The Forgotten Goddess by Echoes of Eternity
-God of War I & II for the PS2
-Magic of Incarnum & Complete Scoundrel for 3.5e
-Mythbusters Collection IV DVD
-A book called "Orcs" which appears to be a novel
-and a calender for 2010

It is a truly glorious day. :smallcool:

[Dispozition]

-A book called "Orcs" which appears to be a novel


I own this, but haven't read it yet. Does look very good though. If you like fantasy novels, you'll probably enjoy it :P

[Dragonrider]

My family doesn't really "do" Christmas, but my grandma gave me three Cat Stevens albums (I had the MP3s but not the physical disks, which I've been wanting since forever) and a "Harold and Maude" DVD. :smallbiggrin: It's lovely.

[Escef]

I got a new suit from my Mom. It was an early present, but I'll likely end up needing it for interviews. (Just got out of the Army and will be shooting resumes at three-letter agencies.)

[The Vorpal Tribble]

I've not yet left for Christmas looting, though did get one present today. Stopped at McDonalds for lunch while at work and forgot my wallet at home. Cashier gave me a burger for free :smallsmile:

[The Rose Dragon]

We get New Year's presents instead of Christmas.

So yes, I'm 6 days behind all of you Christmas-observing folks.

[Exeson]

-A book called "Orcs" which appears to be a novel


That is a very very good book. It is actually the book that got me into Fantasy Novels.

[Lappy9000]

I have received a jar of bees.:smalleek:!!!

...:smallconfused:?

[Tar Palantir]

I got Left 4 Dead 2, some D&D minis, a real DM screen (I've been using a cut-up cardboard box :smallfrown:), and a collapsible hand cart to cart (ha) around all my D&D stuff. Not a bad haul, all things considered.

[Vespe Ratavo]

Thus far, I've received a Yellow Submarine ornament and 1600 Microsoft Points (which I used to buy Rubber Soul for Beatles Rock Band) from my best friend, and about $80 from assorted friends and relatives. The rest remains to be seen.

[Renegade Paladin]

So far, the only thing I know I'm getting is a drawing from my Lion friend of my two favorite Clone Wars character taking part in adult behaviors.
I am excited.
...

You're a strange, strange rabbit. :smalltongue:

We opened presents tonight due to work tomorrow (working in the service sector sucks that way) and I got a pile of books, namely Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day (I'm a baker; it'll be handy), A World Lit Only by Fire by William Manchester (a history of the medieval period), The Men Who Stare at Goats (my brother thought I'd find it hilarious, and he's probably right), and Nickel and Dimed, which Dad thought I should read not knowing that it was assigned to the entire freshman class when I entered college. :smalltongue:

[GallóglachMaxim]

I got a six month gym membership, sunglasses and a chocolate orange, I'm happy.

Now to set up my parents' new GPS for them.

[KuReshtin]

I was sent a couple of limited edition Swedish chocolate bars (Marabou Winter), a keychain from my sister with the ingraving "F*** you, you F***ing F***" (I LOL'ed when I read it. She knows me so well). Also I got two DVDs based on the Swedish writer Stieg Larson's novels ("The Girl Who Played With Fire" and "Men Who Hates Women") and I got a bunch of money that allowed me to buy an XBox 360 Elite.
I also got a candy cane (yummy goodness).

[Pyrian]

...adult behaviors.Ah, Christmas pr0n, nothin' like it. :smallbiggrin:

I'm... I'm not entirely sure what I'm getting, aside from cookies (which I already polished off). :smallconfused: I think there's a camelback and hopefully some chocolates. I'm a little annoyed that I got a grand total of one non-work-related holiday card. :smallyuk: Ah, well, my family is all in Hawaii and I already went to go see them earlier in the month. :smallcool:

[Dispozition]

My predictions were 100% accurate! The photography book is absolutely awesome. 600 pages of photos that, in the next 4 or so years, be used obsessively in assignments and what not in Uni :D

[RabbitHoleLost]

...

You're a strange, strange rabbit. :smalltongue:
Don't you judge me!

>>

[Renegade Paladin]

Don't you judge me!

>>

*Judges*

:smalltongue:

[Eldan]

Well, I'm visiting the relatives tomorrow, so I'll get most gifts then, probably, but today I got all four Red Dwarf Novels from my brother and a box of cookies.

Nice.

[Gullara]

So far I've got boxers, PJs, a piggy bank thimg that counts your change, and some candies. I get the best stuff tomorrow hopefully. Apparently my brother got me something awesome but it is still coming in the mail so it'll be a bit late.

EDIT: To whoever said they got Orcs, its a very good book read it asap, also its parts of a series although that's not imediatly apparent.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Mmm, is that the chocolate orange that you smack on the table and it splits into sections of chocolatey orange-flavored goodness?

[Dispozition]

Mmm, is that the chocolate orange that you smack on the table and it splits into sections of chocolatey orange-flavored goodness?

Best ever. I got one of those too. Everyone in the family gets one every year though. Totally tradition now.

[RabbitHoleLost]

We opened one present tonight, the rest to be left til tomorrow.
I got Inglorious Basterds from my Dad.
I r pleased.

[Extra_Crispy]

Since Christmas is for the kids, I'm getting very little. I bought stuff for my neice and 2 nephews, giving some money to my grandmother. Got a few things for the girlfriend, she said she got a couple of things for me but more inportant is the fact that Saturday she is comming over and we are going to spend the whole day watching movies, and holding each other. That is my idea of a perfact Christmas, sitting around with the one you love in your arms.:smallbiggrin:

[Trog]

For Christmas I got two very happy boys. They liked the Wii it seems. :smallsmile:

[Lucky]

While I haven't officially received it yet, I will be getting a very nice Ottawa Senators jersey.

It should look something like this. (http://www.icehockeyjersey.com/assets/images/nhl/Ottawa-Senators-Premier-Home-Jersey.jpg)

[Lorn]

14th/15th century German combat manual, originally by one Hans Talhoffer.

It is awesome.

I am currently considering the prospect of fighting simultaneously with a spear and bastard sword because of it... except I don't know of a system that'll allow me to do so aside from the age old "f***ing around with implements of a pointy nature." Ah well... sure I can find someone.

[Lord Herman]

We don't really celebrate Christmas with presents here, but my uncle did give me a cunning hat. It's not quite the colour of the one worn by the hero of Canton, but it's very cunning nonetheless.

[Viera Champion]

I won't tell you everything I got. Just the beatles stuff.


The Beatles Revolver album
The Beatles Please Please Me album
The Beatles Love album
The Beatles White Album jigsaw puzzle (Yeah. Thats right.)
One Beatles shirt of my choice off the Internet. (I asked for one that had the full Seargent Peppers album cover on it.)

[RabbitHoleLost]

Ahhh, I remember the joy of getting Beatles paraphernalia.

Now I have too much of it, so no one can buy me anything more, for fear I already own it :smallfrown:

[Nameless]

Dark Moor- Autumnal album
Code Geass- Season 1 DVD box set
Awesome shirt
Chocolate
Wrist band

[Dogmantra]

I got a lot of books, including And Another Thing from my Godmother, which will be brilliant even if it ruins the series: it'll give me new snarking material for months.
A stylish hat
Guitar Hero 5 (sort of a joint present: my dad tends to buy Guitar Hero games for "me" though he and my brother both play them just as much)
A new dressing gown, and slippers, neither of which are pink and fluffy, much to my dismay.
And the cream of the crop: a new Ukulele with a fancy case, and tuner so I don't have to keep chasing after people to borrow theirs. I feel like a proper musician now that I own more than one of my chosen instrument.

[Reinboom]

The Beatles White Album jigsaw puzzle (Yeah. Thats right.)

Ooo, I'm envious. That has to be an amusing puzzle.

[Nomrom]

Well, we open presents at eight in the morning here in my family. Before that time no one is allowed out of their rooms. So, I'm sitting here on my bed with my laptop trying to kill one more hour. So far the only thing I know I'm getting is my own blender.

[Lioness]

A Green iPod NaNo, which I shall load with tons of classical music.

Bwahahaha.

And I didn't get anything else, because all I wanted was the iPod.

[GallóglachMaxim]

Mmm, is that the chocolate orange that you smack on the table and it splits into sections of chocolatey orange-flavored goodness?

The very one. I'm saving it for a situation deserving of orangey chocolate-on-table smashing goodness.

[Dvil]

I got:
a little Guiness set thing (with a can, a mug, two beer mats and a stress ball)
2 comedy DVDs (Ross Noble and Russel Howard)
Monty Python's Life of Brian
A dog IQ tester
A 16GB mp3 player (15GB better than the current one), with leather case
An Adidas set of deo, cologne, and shower gel
Three musical pegs (for playing outside)
and finally, a musidoku book.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

I didn't really have any presents, but after the rest of the family opened their presents, my wife let me go back to bed and sleep in while she watched the kids. For another 2.5 hours. Ahhhhh, sleep.

[Trobby]

It's T-minus 45 minutes to unwrapping, and I know of two things I'm getting:

1: No More Heroes for the Wii
2: An entire new computer that may or may not come today.

While computerage reduces my total present get, I still look forward to opening my gifts this morning. :3

[thubby]

i got a really nice combination head set and mic.

[Froogleyboy]

I woke my mom up at 4 in the mornin to open my presidents.
My haul:
The annual monster compendium, first volume (for AD&D 2e)
The Spelljammer boxed set in original packaging (which I actually let out a loud SQUEE when I opened)
A PSP!!!
I was so excited

[randman22222]

I got a Boss digital delay pedal! Now I can sound like The Edge! :smallbiggrin:

Oh. And some Argyle socks with Union Jacks on them. I personally think that they're amazing.

Two Sting albums. I only lack two now.
Yellow Submarine! :smallbiggrin:

Tons of chocolate.

EDIT: How could I forget?! A promise for a Fender Jaguar. :smallbiggrin:

We gave and received many smiles.

[thorgrim29]

I got films (Basterds, OSS 117, diner de cons and Kaamelot season 1), Cosmic Egg from Wolfmother, Alice Cooper's along came a spider, a very nice pair of leather gloves, a few Sci fi books I had never heard about (Illium by Dan Simmons and Anathem by Neal Stephenson, my dad hit the jackpot a few times while buying me random books, but sometimes he misses it). Also a bunch of gift cards and cash (for the boxing day Amazon binge). Plus I still have one batch of presents to open.

And a little frustration: My brother and I decided to buy a very nice bottle of port (a 1980 Offley Coheira) for our parents, and our aunt bought them the exact same bottle.....:smallfurious:

[The Demented One]

I have got a massive tome of poetry sitting next to me on the desk. It starts in 2000 B.C. with some pre-Gilgamesh stuff, and ends in the 20th century. *Happiness.*

[zeratul]

I got

The sagas of the icelanders (translation of all the icelandic sagas)
Supernatural Season 2

Rum Sodomy and the Lash by The Pogues on vinyl

Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness by smashing pumpkins
The complete magnolia bakery cookbook
Battles of the Medieval World
Dragon Age: Origins

a pretty good haul this year

[Trobby]

Well, besides this shirt that I'm wearing right now, I seem to have covered the majority of my haul.

Can't use my new computer yet though, with two brothers both trying to sleep in the same room, and their luggage blocking access to that computer.

...Mmm...I know I shouldn't be rude about this, but I kind of wish I had something to use. I've got this shirt, and not much else to do but watch my sister play "Boogie" on the Wii. :/

[Closet_Skeleton]

I got some cheques, a £10 Games Workshop voucher and some headphones.

[KilltheToy]

I got:

-An Xbox 360 Arcade (I have no complaints. It's better than nothing) and Call of Duty 4, The Beatles: Rock Band, and Transformers
-A watch from Fossil
-An unabriged German dictionary (I want to learn German. I'll be needing this)
-A box of Chaos Space Marines :smallbiggrin: (Not the battleforce I wanted, but it's still better than nothing.)
-This shirt (http:/http://shirt.woot.com/blog/viewentry.aspx?id=8943/)

And other things. I am appeased.

[Gamerlord]

[Quincunx]

The American presents: A cute little statue of two birds, the annual kitsch Christmas ornament (mini snow globes, this year), cash which will be saved for the next visit as it's in USD, and extra-large bubble wrap which popped loud enough to wake up our housemate. Sorry about that. Somewhat. :smallamused: Poor guy's working today. Be kind if you have to petition something in-game.

@V: It wasn't so much that we doubted as that we couldn't picture what you meant, even taking it literally. . .those are certainly bees.

[Mauve Shirt]

I got a German language keyboard, some nice German books, the new Star Trek movie, Patrick Stewart performing A Christmas Carol, and a brand new Cribbage board!
Not to mention a few neat things in my stocking, like a new deck of cards and some excellent jewelry!
And some people doubted the jar of bees present, so here is a picture.

[RabbitHoleLost]

Reccy; Xenosaga is one of my favorite games. Actually, its more like an interactive movie cause of all the really long cutscenes, but I really, really like it.

[Eldrys]

I just got the AD&D Players Handbook, Monster Manual, and Dungeon Masters Guide!!!

[Mary Leathert]

Well, I did get some chocolate and couple of books (a book on Japanese cooking and something about great thinkers throughout history), my first MP3-player, a wooden salad bowl, and some other stuff.

But the presents I'm really excited about have not arrived yet. Those are a Nintendo Wii (black version, with Motion Plus and Sports Resort, though the game is there just because it was part of the set; which is in the mail) and OotS: Don't Split the Party (which hasn't arrived at the local retailer yet).

[onthetown]

My mom bought a Wii for the family because she became obsessed with having one after she saw the Raving Rabbids game... She got me Wii Music and my stepdad Blazing Angels, and in return I bought her the Raving Rabbids game. She absolutely loves it.

Apart from that I got a popcorn popper, hand mixer, potato masher, and BBQ fork for my hope chest (where I put things that I'm saving for when I move out and get my own place), some diamond jewellry from my father and a gift card for our favourite restaurant (we go to it every week... guess it's my turn to start paying :smallamused: ), some merchandise from my cousin's band (since I'm a huge fan of it), lots of chocolate, a bottle of white wine made by my uncle (I'm a huge fan of that, too :smallbiggrin: ), and the usual clothes and soap and a random hairbrush. Any other girls around here only get hygeine stuff in their stockings every year since they were 13?

All that is despite my mother swearing that she wouldn't be buying anything but the Wii and games. She can't resist shopping. :smalltongue:

[Ilena]

I know the feeling! Go down to get a pair of pants and ..... well you gotta get a matching top .... and then theres this ... and that .. oh thats on sale .... :P

[onthetown]

Heh, I'm not much of a clothes shopper myself, but all of my scrubs match each other perfectly and can be accesorized with various pens I own :smallbiggrin:

I almost forgot! My mother also bought me a little mug that says, "Just because I'm a medical secretary doesn't mean I want to hear about all your ailments." I'm a ward clerk, but it's still cute.

[Ilena]

I agree :P But ya im not much of a shopper either but mom is ....... spent 8 hours walking around the main event 2 years ago, a horse sale place, we went around the entire place ... at least 5 times at least :P had to have looked at each thing at least twice :P

[Mauve Shirt]

Loot update from aunts and uncles. I now have a beanie with musical notes on in from the Alice Springs beanie festival, a nice silver bracelet, and an easy recipe cookbook.

[onthetown]

I agree :P But ya im not much of a shopper either but mom is ....... spent 8 hours walking around the main event 2 years ago, a horse sale place, we went around the entire place ... at least 5 times at least :P had to have looked at each thing at least twice :P

Oh, lord, don't even get me started on my horse... I cannot go into a tack store or any store that is remotely horse-themed without finding $300 worth of "presents" for my horse. I don't even go into those stores around Christmas anymore unless I need a new bag of treats.

[Jacklu]

[Thanatos 51-50]

So, um. I got some loot from the girlfriend a while ago in the form of white chocolate Tim Tams and really nice tea.
Other then that, I don't get many (if any) loot this year - mostly by request, but I have acquire loot for people!
None of my family nor friends of the family are itP, so I feel free in listing them here.

Older Brother:
Brass Pocket Watch. It has a train design on the front cover. My older brother has always kinda liked trains. It's weird.

Younger Brother:
Spore Heroes for the Wii. This is in addition to the Wii he's getting (today-ish) that I also chipped in some cash for.

Mother:
2000 or so Yen worth of various delicious teas from the Shizuoka prefecture. The girlfriend picked it out for me. This meant she spent hours in a tea shop taste-testing a bunch of different teas. She enjoyed this, as well.
I'm also bringing some soba and soba sauce type stuff. Soba. :smallbiggrin:

Girlfriend:
I gave her ichimon yen and set her loose in a store in Harajuku. She walked away very happy.

Dad:
I... I actually don't have anything for him, yet. I'll figure out something remotely gift-like soon, I guess.

[Recaiden]

Reccy; Xenosaga is one of my favorite games. Actually, its more like an interactive movie cause of all the really long cutscenes, but I really, really like it.

It's been about 2/3 cutscenes, but so far I like it.

I now also have:
-A book of graph paper
-A toy spider:smallbiggrin:
-Socks

[Ilena]

Oh, lord, don't even get me started on my horse... I cannot go into a tack store or any store that is remotely horse-themed without finding $300 worth of "presents" for my horse. I don't even go into those stores around Christmas anymore unless I need a new bag of treats.

theres a good reason why i avoid going to stores :P i barely have enough money to pay for training (im learning to train horses, and training my two at the same time) though mom does enough shopping for the both of us ... each horse has 3 blankets, then 1 or 2 winter ... and a cooler .... 3 horses , she hasnt started working on the 4th yet though ... though that one is dads :P

[Pika...]

$40 and some ugly pants I will take back for more monies.

All this monies will be put away for a very special gift which I will hopefully get to give next Xmas. :smallbiggrin:

[Zaydos]

I got $20.00 from my grandmother, a set of dice from one friend, and 2 sets of dice (1 set is metal) and a dice bag (okay the metal set came in its own bag) as well as the old movie version of Dune from my parents. Oh and 2 candy canes from my grandmother. And I bought myself a new set of dice for the first time in 5~6 years.

[TheWerdna]

I got Borderlands, Left 4 Dead 2, Crysis Warhead, and Bioshock for the PC, aswell as assasins creed 2 for the Xbox

Besides those games i got some DvDs and a few 3.5 D&D books

[Lupy]

I got an authentic and SCA approved 11th century Norman spangenhelm! :smallbiggrin:

http://i46.tinypic.com/161nrew.jpg

The card with it was the OOTS "Night before Christmas" one too! I also got Don't split the party and some other less stick figure-i-fied reading.

Who are the SCA?

I could use a DM hat. :smallsmile:

[Solaris]

I'm a single guy with a job and no dependents. Every day is Christmas for me.


Lol i know im getting a necklace from a friend .... and aside from that, i get a wonderful gift from work! being told that im working xmas! woot! paid for sleeping as whos going to call on xmas? *highly sarcastic comment please disregard :P*
If it makes you feel better... Last Christmas, I had to roll out on a mission. I had to spend all of the Christmas before that guarding a different unit's building because the Brigade didn't want them to spend Christmas away from their families. Clearly, though, they had no problem doing the same to us and provided a flimsy excuse of 'their guys got in trouble playing with the forklift while guarding the building'.
This Christmas, though, I actually managed to not get screwed over by the Army and was able to take leave. I don't expect that to happen again for a long time.

... Kids these days.
Society for Creative Anachronism. Basically, much more hardcore LARPing. The fighting is the best part.

[d13]

My not-so-phat lewts...

* A pair of socks. (This never gets old :smallsigh:)
* A new wallet (I needed one, so :smallsmile:)
* A new jean (woohoo ~~ :smallbiggrin:)
* A suit, that I'll be using in my step-sister's marriage in two weeks
* A cool t-shirt
* Random After Shave/Deodorant/etc pack (another thing that never gets old :smallsigh:)

Still waiting for my GFs present, that has not arrived yet, and my father promised he would be getting me something, so... 'twas better than the expected stuff :smalltongue:

[Lupy]

@Solaris. That's harsh. You aren't stuck on a boat in the Persian Gulf though, so there's that at least.

[Vespe Ratavo]

*8 gig iPod touch (I named it Ringo, to go with my computer which is named George [there's a reason for that] and my 360 named John [no reason])
*Dragon Age: Origins
*Lego Rock Band
*Batman: Arkham Asylum
*Soul Music
*New headphones
*Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's Greatest Hits (?)
*Microfiber head-towel thing

*Assorted candy and money

Best Christmas ever? Yeah, I think so.

[Froogleyboy]

I just got back from my mom's relatives family, and I got:
Books: 7 things smart teens do (actually an awesome page turner), Global warming, A killing in comics
And my great grandpas army uniform (it's a fancy, he might have been a general) from WWII

[Solaris]

@Solaris. That's harsh. You aren't stuck on a boat in the Persian Gulf though, so there's that at least.

This is true. This year I got to spend two grand on tickets to fly home - I don't think I'll be doing it again next year. My little brother's leave ended just a day before mine began, which was a great source of holiday cheer considering the Army hasn't let us see each other in about three years now.
Ahh, the military. The only place where one-upping each others' tales of holiday suck is a hobby that can consume hours.


And my great grandpas army uniform (it's a fancy, he might have been a general) from WWII

Pics? I'm fair sure the history buffs here could ID it for ya.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Would also like pics of great-grandpa's uniform. The patches on the shoulders will tell you what unit he served with.

[Felixaar]

Loot update from aunts and uncles. I now have a beanie with musical notes on in from the Alice Springs beanie festival, a nice silver bracelet, and an easy recipe cookbook.

Alice Springs Beanie Festival?

Why would anyone wear a beanie in Alice Springs? It's HOT.

Ah well.

I got books and book vouchers (which I used to get books), so now have a big thick Thesaurus, the Illiad, Under the Dome and Pirate Latitudes.

Also, a piglet for a developing country. Woo!

[Em Blackleaf]

I got so much lewts. The best being an XBOX 360 (finally) along with many many games to play on it; Bioshock, Brutal Legend, Dragon Age: Origins, The Orange Box and Assassins Creed. My brother got Left 4 Dead 2 for the PC. My dad promised to get us XBOX Live.

I got a new digital camera, which my dad had already ordered just before fixing my old one (He'll be keeping my old one). The new one is much better.

I got a $50 Barnes & Noble gift card along with $30 cash. That $50 gift card adds onto the $25 one I already had from my birthday. Even $75+ to spend at B&N doesn't seem like enough. :smalltongue:

I also got several SD cards. I now have 9GB of SD card memory. Everyone had the same idea that I like taking pictures. :smalltongue:

Then I got a bunch of other stuff like school supplies, makeup, jewelery and a stuffed dalmatian. You know, what you'd imagine when you think 15 year-old girl. :smalltongue:

Best Christmas ever. :smallsmile:

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Also, a piglet for a developing country. Woo!

Ah, Heifer International (http://www.heifer.org)?

[Ninja Chocobo]

Welp.

Socks! :smallbiggrin:
A T-shirt.
A wet-pack with toiletries.

$30 Dymocks gift card.

$50 Hoyts gift card.
$70 off an outstanding debt.
$500.

O'course due to expenses that last one will probably only last me a month. Oh well.

I got Belgian Filled Chocolates. ...I wonder if they're filled with real Belgians? :smallcool:

It's the bones that make it crunchy.

[Boo]

I got Meet the Spartans as a special gift...

I didn't know what to say...

It was so...

........

As much as I love my father, he doesn't understand that a) That movie... is not worthy of being called a movie, b) I have taste, and c) My sense of humour isn't so low.

He got me Postal too, but that movie was very bearable. Once.

All in all it was a good Christmas for presents; I'll have my own graphics tablet by New Year at the latest, and we got a Wii Sports, so yeah, it wasn't so bad. Still: "Meet the Spartans"? Really? I would have preferred Die Hard or anything by Tim Burton (I did get Sweeney Todd). Or Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. That was a good film (kids films can be good too!).

I got my brother an L. Ron Hubbard book as a joke gift (It was a dollar and came with it's own special bookmark, I couldn't resist!). I think he appreciated it. I also got him an additional version of "How to Host a Murder". That's 2 out of ??? versions.

For my mum... I got her a snuggie because it was funny, and I don't doubt she'd use one. I also got her some nicer things (mostly for lounging since she really loves to).

For my da, I got him boardgames. He's always complaining that we don't spend enough time together as a family, so yeah: boardgames.

Me brother and I both received a non-brand name MP3 player. Haven't tried it yet.

Oh, and we baked all day. We now have about five pounds of cookies, three of macaroons, and three more of desert-y appetisers.

[Lioness]

Girlfriend:
I gave her ichimon yen and set her loose in a store in Harajuku. She walked away very happy.


Woah. Cool.

a Jar of Baileys Fudge
a $20 Angus & Robertson gift card

Death at a Funeral DVD
Perdido Street Station (at least i hope... haven't got it yet but its what i asked for - the people buying that one can be a mite unpredictable, once given a list with a wide and varied selection of music i would potentially like i was given a CD of band that my cousin likes and thus they thought i would... i did not)

[thorgrim29]

Also got 150 bucks, a ton of peanut butter-oriented candy, a booklight, a set of pajamas (seriously, they're comfy), and some kind of super electric toothbrush.

And now I need to find room for Devvy and the big Cruiser.

[Manicotti]

Manicotti, you got a snuggie and pajamas? :smalltongue:

Yep.

dark green 2pc pajama set + beige snuggie from the same package.

Edit: I suppose it would be apropos to also flaunt what I got for other people. :P
This shirt (http://www.headlineshirts.net/da-vinci-rock-man.html) was for my sister.
This shirt (http://store.xkcd.com/xkcd/#XKCDcollegestyleshirt) is for my best friend.

[golentan]

I got Bucky balls. (http://getbuckyballs.com/)

The potential for magnetized evil is wonderful, and I've already used them as a molecular structure demonstration.

[Adlan]

14th/15th century German combat manual, originally by one Hans Talhoffer.

It is awesome.

I am currently considering the prospect of fighting simultaneously with a spear and bastard sword because of it... except I don't know of a system that'll allow me to do so aside from the age old "f***ing around with implements of a pointy nature." Ah well... sure I can find someone.

Talhoffer is a good manual, lovely illustrations. Not the best for your first though (it was my first manual), very complex some of the stuff.

I've seen spear and main gauche fighting, which is very nasty. Never heard of it done with the Bastard sword though.



I got a Bag of Rocks and bone (A dozen best norfolk flint blanks, a new grist stone, a copper tipped antler flaker and a leather palm pad).
A hammock
A chocolate orange (Traditions FTW).
Socks (which I am greatful foor, military action boot socks. One can never have too many good pairs of socks).
A new Victorinox swiss army knife and leatherman
A copy of unseen academicals
A Powerball
a Copy of Hugh Fearnely-Whittingstall's Fish book.
a copy of Keep Calm and Carry on.
A DVD of Neverwhere.
A copy of Maximum Offence.

I'm most please with my Bag of Rocks (one set of Flint Hunting Arrowheads comming up.) and my Hammock, because hammocks are kickarse.

And my leatherman, it's awesomesauce. unfortunately, not legal for street carry.

[Thufir]

I got:

£10
£15 amazon voucher
Chocolate (Nom)
4 Collections of Stoppard plays (Thank you amazon.com)
CD of Evelyn Glennie performing Veni Veni Emmanuel (Probably good, though not as good as seeing it live in the Sage Gateshead)
Order of the Stick Adventure Game (Hell: Yeah)
It's Alive! (Thank you KuReshtin and the York UKitP meetup for introducing me to it)
Carcassonne: Wheel of Fortune (Yeah, the meetup kinda influenced my suggestions for possible presents)

Pretty good, all in all. I didn't want too much in the way of books or DVDs, since I have something of a backlog of things I need to read/watch without adding more. However the Stoppard collections are excepted because A) I've read them before, and B) They're brilliant.

[Darius Midnite]

I got myself:
- A pre order on Bioshock 2. (Exuberance! It shall arrive on the release date)
- A new desk chair, since the last one broke.
- A bottle of fine Laphroaig 15 year old scotch.
- New drawing equipment.
- A selection of clothes.

I am quite satisfied. :smallbiggrin:

Is there a threat that focuses on what you have given too? I wonder.

[Quincunx]

That's this one also. Never says you have to only flaunt your own loot. :smallwink:

[Veg Sorbet]

I pretty much got the usual; a boatload of edibles, a couple of books, some cash, a machete, and some folk music.

[CrimsonAngel]

Some pokemon, a gameboy with internet, some legos, and a... transformer?c:smallconfused:

[RabbitHoleLost]

Book- Star Wars:Deathtroopers
That's the Star Wars book with zombies, right? Lemme know how it is, please =)

[IsaacTheHungry]

I could use a DM hat. :smallsmile:

I am working on getting you a DM hat remember.

I would have gotten it done by christmas if it wasn't for the fact that my first 2 designs would have shocked you or lit the hat on fire. :smalleek:

[Boo]

I am working on getting you a DM hat remember.

Flaming hat. Just get a fedora and attach some tubes to reroute gas (5 places would be good, but 3 will do--must be uneven for effect) equip some materials that don't heat up easily, or are not as kenetic as a simple flame. ...I'm not being very clear. The point is: FLAMING FEDORA!

Alternatively: Cover a leather hat with metal plates, and connect those to a battery (and other little bits that I can't remember at the immediate moment). Route the battery to a switch under the hat (behind so it still looks nice), and then you'll have yourself some shockin' style. Just make sure to only use the hat when punishing players for suggesting/doing stupid things. Also: Bad Pun-ishment.

[Eon]

1) Assassin's Creed 2
2) Warcraft III Battlechest (which I am REALLY bad at :smallfrown:)
3) D&D Jones Soda
4) Dungeon and Dorks comics

The kids get a new Bass Amplifier and a new Laptop


oh yeah....... and we still count our new house as a Chrsitmas present. :smallamused:

[Dallas-Dakota]

How wrong is it that I read:

Twin Peaks Gold edition box-set (with intros by the Log Lady and the SNL skit)

as


Twin Peaks Gold edition box-set (with intros by the Trog Lady and the SNL skit)

:eek::smalltongue:

V: Hmm, yeah. But the first mental image...Not so much. ><

[smellie_hippie]

That's actually pretty funny...

I can promise you that Trog doesn't look anything like her. she has hair

[Trobby]

My Loot Update:

Grandma's House proved to be a valuable journey in loot-getting, as both my grandma and my secret Santa provided some much-needed omph to my holiday loot. I got:

-A Wireless Gamecube controller
-A Tom & Jerry Cartoon DVD
-A gift card for $25 for a game from Toys-R-Us
-Sweet Relaxation pants
-$50 check

:smallbiggrin:

As for what I got for OTHER people...

-For my Sister: The original Chipmunk Movie (The one with balloons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chipmunk_Adventure)
-For my older brother: New Drum Sticks
-For my older older brother: A book "by" Kermit T. Frog. I think it was called "Bein' Green".
-For my Mother: Garfield Holiday Collection on DVD (It has the Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas ones. She likes the Halloween one best).
-For my Dad: The Sims 3: The Island for the Wii. (He really likes simulation games. I just hope this one doesn't absorb him TOO much.)
-For my Grandmothers: A tin of green tea for each one.
-For my Secret Santa: Coffee and a Moose-themed decoration. (Really, me and all my siblings are pretty poor this holiday season. So we got what we could for each other and our parents actually took care of our secret santas.)

[KuReshtin]

Oh yeah. I forgot. I traded some dice away for two souls.

I got RPGsr4me's soul from the man himself, and I was promised smellie_hippie's soul by Archonic Energy in return for some leftover meet-dice.

[smellie_hippie]

I don't believe I signed for that transaction KuReshtin... :smallamused:

[KuReshtin]

I don't believe I signed for that transaction KuReshtin... :smallamused:

I'm not fussy. :smallwink:
After all, you offered RPGsr4me's soul for the same dice.

[Lorn]

Talhoffer is a good manual, lovely illustrations. Not the best for your first though (it was my first manual), very complex some of the stuff.

I've seen spear and main gauche fighting, which is very nasty. Never heard of it done with the Bastard sword though.
The book has good stuff in; I've got enough experience to be able to work out, for the most part, what's going on in the images. Plus, a lot of other people in my re-enactment society use it which helps no end.
(The LARPers, however, do not. This will be fun :smallwink:)

And aye, sadly, there's no real way I can do it.. The Talhoffer style seems to emphasise throwing the spear ASAP, which is really not recommended when you're using metal. Even if it is blunt.

[Pika...]

I am working on getting you a DM hat remember.

[Cyrion]

My sweetie took me to Cancun for Christmas. We played on the beach; snorkeled; floated down an underground river; saw sea turtles, sharks, porpoises and more iguanas than you could shake a stick at (they seem to be Mexico's answer to pigeons), and a Mayan field hockey game in which the ball was on fire. :smallcool: Best Christmas as an adult!!

[Thufir]

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I also got a pair of slipper socks. Lovely warm feet.

[Mauve Shirt]

And the last gifts have been received, and they are a lovely pair of earrings from my grandfather and a gorgeous Coach bag from my cousin.

[Arutema]

I'll trade you candy for one of them :P I got a Hershey's Pot of Gold.

I have too much candy already, but I'd be happy to trade them for the non-prequel OOTS books.

[Manicotti]

I have too much candy already, but I'd be happy to trade them for the non-prequel OOTS books.

Damn. :P I have none of the OOTS books, or I'd totally swap. SoD is the one that I'd actually go out of my way to get.

[RabbitHoleLost]

My boyfriend got me a Mace Windu Force FX lightsabre.

There is much happy nerdom in my life.

Another copy of For Emma, Forever Ago, by Bon Iver, which I will probably give to someone else.
Golden Daze, by The Wildbirds

And a whole lotta Bob Dylan.

Christmas wasn't terrible, but Hanukkah was very, very good to me.

(Also, Beatles Rock Band, Last Night on Earth, 4eMM2, 4eAV, Monty Python Fluxx, and some new speakers.)

I give props to the monty python fluxx.

Christmas and my birthday are not far apart. 11 days to be exact.

So.. I got the Memories Anime movie. I got the David Hasselhof version of Jekyll and Hyde dvd from broadway, I got a book or two that are cool and some money for college. I got the good the bad and the munchkin, and the death of captain america series 1-3. a good amount of clothes and that alarm clock made by something from the 7th or 8th layer in dnd hell. It shoots off that propeller and it doesnt turn off till you find it and put it back on? yeah.. one of those..
The two coolest gifts was front row center stage tickets to go see wicked! its coming near my area in the next month or two ^___^ and a scrapbook of all my theater adventures over the past few years .. in addition to all the other wonderful people i had befriended and lost due to college and moves and things. I almost cried in the restaurant XD. i also got myself a 2010 Dr Horribles sing along blog calendar! ^__^

Thats all the loot Wrath has to brag about currently.
