The Christmas "Whatcha Get?" Thread

[Elwood]

So with Christmas here, how about sharing what you got with the rest of us here at Racketboy? Considering I've reached the age where I shouldn't really expect great gifts, I made out very well this year. I got:

-A CycloDS Evolution flash cart for my Nintendo DS, with the EZ 3-in-1 expansion pack and an 8gb SD card.
-Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney for the DS
-Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia for the DS
-The Guardian Legend for the NES
-Godland: Celestial Edition One. Big 'ol hardcover collection of the first 12 issues of Godland, a great "cosmic" comic series I've been getting into.
-Godland, Issues #1-20. I found this collection on EBay a while back for cheap, so I figured grab them in issues too.
-Starman Vol. 1 & 2 by James Robinson
-Tales to Astonish. A book about Jack Kirby.
-The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril. Cool book about two real life pulp fiction writers and a series of bizarre adventures. Check it out.
-Sam & Max: Freelance Police - The Complete Series DVD
-Carcassonne: Traders and Builders and Carcassonne: The Princess and the Dragon (surprise gift, expansion dealies for a board game I own/like. I'm happy with it, but I don't get to play the main game much as is).
-Some clothes. Namely a kinda silly looking knit cap, a pair of pajama bottoms, and two flannel shirts (one dark blue/black and insulated, one gray and not)

Overall, not a bad haul this year at all. Probably better then I've done in a few years.

Ooooh, Starman, good choice!

I got season 4 of Monk from my brother. Nothing gaming related so far, but my dad did get me a Wii game. Not sure which one yet though!

Merry christmas to you all!!!

I got a 22inch hanns g monitor for my computer. Finally I used a 15 inch kds the first lcd screen that came out. It even had a brick like the 360 for power supply.

Hmm not too much game-related stuff this year. My wife got me an extra CycloDS and EZflash 3in1 to match my black DS. Elwood, you'll love the CycloDS and 3in1. In my opinion it's without the doubt the best DS solution.

As a retro gamer I think I'm hard to buy games for.

Other than that I got a few Books and CDs and as usual, a lot of junk food, for which I am always very greatful.

I got boxers and a 30 dollar gift card to Amazon.

Neither of which came from family. My family knows I don't celebrate the whole gift giving side of Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone!

My Fiance came down with some sort of bug and has been sick as a dog all morning. So this Christmas is pretty much in the crapper. But I got Persona 4 with the preorder artbook so far. Were going to wait until she feels better to open the rest of the presents. Hope everyone else has a Merry Christmas though!!!
