The MicroSD is for the DS Games. The 3-in-1 is for GBA games and it adds rumble and has RAM expansion for things like the DS Opera Web browser.

I got:
1) The complete DVD set for the BBC show "As Time Goes By" ... and also both of the "after series end" show/reunion.
2) Expansion pack to Dungeon Siege 2

And other gifts that family is/are holding onto. We didn't get to go home to Paul's parents because of road conditions (first time in 15 years we've not been home for Christmas) ... thanks to the 15+ inches of snow (in Portland, Oregon) and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho (last we heard they had 34+ inches of snow and climbing).

Paul got:
1) Xbox 360 Halo 3
2) Xbox 360 Dead Space
3) some sweat pants

Merry Christmas everyone :)

I received that creepy "20 Questions" red ball that almost always guess what I'm thinking.
Also, some boxers, some aftershave, some money, a few giftcards, and a CD storage case.

All around, pretty useful stuff, which I'm a definite fan of.

It's that Obama, I tell you! Turning everything Muslim and socialist and other non-Christian (aka white) things.

I got my brother CaRmAgE those Strong Bad episodes on WiiWare, but he hasn't gotten me anything yet. :( To be fair I waited until the last minute (midnight on Christmas) to get Mike his episodes but HE waited until past the last minute (10am Christmas) and in that time span Wii Shop went down and is currently still down. But to still be fair he shouldn't have waited that long. :P

Yesterday to add insult to injury he was telling me how awesome the games I bought him were (apparently he could download them but couldn't purchase me anything).

From people who care more about me, I got a new 19" LCD (to replace my second monitor, a half-working CRT), new mouse (old one's mousewheel was gunked), a couple of Wii games and a DS game.

Also my birthday is Sunday, so you have another chance Mike!!!

Since this is my first post I will say that I only signed up to make fun of Mike aka CaRmAgE, but I enjoy Zelda Classic, fooled around with Allegro to power my own game once (both that and a quest I was working on are permanently shelved due to quality issues and lack of interest) and have a general appreciation for all things Zelda (except CD-I games and Adventure of Link. Still only got past the first palace once).

Dan, that's mostly off topic. You should've made your own thread. :p Also, don't be so impatient, because:
1)I barely got the downloads because of being constantly timed out.
2)I had no Wii points at the time, and I didn't want to risk losing the ones on the cards through a time out (due to reason #1).

Anyway, back on topic...

One thing I forgot to mention is that my roommate at college got me a nice looking glass chess set. Makes me feel bad for not getting him anything. :(

2 Gig MicroSD Memory Card
Flash 3-in-1 CardHell yeah, enjoy the hell outta that DN! I had bought a Supercard SD-One a while back, and it's awesome "testing" games before buying them. Or just playing them. :D

Now, for what I got,
1) Super Paper Mario (Wii)
2) Seether: Karma and Effect
3) Seether: Disclaimer II w/ bonus DVD
4) New Jumper Cables
5) Tool Set

It works for me. Anything else I want, will have to wait for tax returns.

Yeah! Why don't they love me?! Goddammit! I thought you were supposed to love everyone—where's my new Jetta? Nobody bought me shit, just 'cause I'm not christian. That's racist!
