All in all it was a decent Christmas. The whole season hasn't felt right to me though. =(

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

I got very few actual objects, but I got tons of money and gift certificates.

Besides what I've already mentioned, the rest of what I got was cash and gift cards, including a Visa gift card and 2 Wii points cards.

I didn't get anything for Christmas, apart from the bonus from my work. I used it to buy Disgaea DS and Rondo of Swords.

$250 combined.
Stocking full of candy.
Awesome crocheted rainbow hat.
I think that is it.

Disgaea DS

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. 😛 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. 😞
