Got a wireless bluetooth keyboard to replace the one I had with a broken "o" key. (That was getting really frustrating.) Also received a really amazing gift of a (second-hand) PRS SE Soapbar II guitar, which is even nicer to play than I really could have imagined. Spent a little time cleaning it up, and it could possibly use some polish, but I'm in love with its sound and ease of use.

Since my birthday is only 9 days from Christmas I get a mother load this time of year; received Pikmin 2, Soukyugurentai Otokuyo, Dodonpachi 2, $50 bucks cash, a hand-make A&M blanket, and a cool piece of A&M wood art. Oh and a Regular Show t-shirt. Pretty awesome haul if I may say so.

Gaming-related:

Wii U Mario & Luigi bundle
Beyond: Two Souls
Mega Man Zero Collection

...also Def Jam Rapstar (plus a USB mic for it) and Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour, but to be fair those were "retaliation" for gifting that particular friend Bubsy 3D, Petz: Horsez, Barbie Horse Adventures: Riding Camp, Charlie's Angels, and Aquaman for Gamecube between his birthday and Christmas.
He even reused the Hello Kitty gift bag.

I w0uld just use the zer0 key instead 0f using the letter that c0mes between n and p.

For a while, the rubber membrane was still attached to the board, so I could hit it, and only mis-type 1/4 of the time, or so. After that detached completely, I had to hit the board itself with my fingernail repeatedly until I got an "o" to register. I don't have to deal with the apostrophe key sticking, or the lack of an "esc" key anymore, either, which is nice.

Did you mean "i" and "p"?

The only remotely gaming related thing I got was a 12 month Xbox Live card. Lots of good stuff otherwise though.

I got lots of cool stuff this Christmas and Birthday, but most of it was related to books or films I like rather than games (which makes a refreshing change actually). Lots of new books, Discworld related stuff and Studio Ghibli DVDs.

This is the gaming related stuff I got:

Birthday (24th):
Majora's Mask T-Shirt
Hardcore Gaming 101 Guide to Classic Graphic Adventures book
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (DS)
Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland (DS)
Super Mario 3D World (WiiU)
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. (3DS)
Sam & Max: Surfin' the Highway comic anthology (OK, so not necessarily gaming related, but that's how I was introduced to these characters!)

Christmas:
Space Invaders T-shirt
classic controllers T-shirt
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (Wii U)
and arguably - Discworld: Ankh Morpork board game.


I also ordered myself Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Professor Layton & The Azran Legacies for 3DS for myself with some money I got. A great Christmas overall.


Oh hey, I guess that was a lot of gaming stuff after all.
