Show off your Christmas loot!
« on: December 26, 2012, 06:05:06 PM »
Tell us what you've gotten for Christmas and make everyone jelly.

I got;
-A Yamaha keyboard with midi out
-A Simpsons season 3 and season 6 DVD set
-Pair of sweet Nike Airs
-Pack of 10 white T shirts (I needed these!)
-A couple of ultrasoft fleece sweaters
-Portable rechargeable speaker

Also bought myself an iphone 4S 2 weeks ago and ordered some really nice monitor headphones (sony MDR V6, Pictured, but its just a stock photo) that should be here in a couple of days.

So what did Santa bring you all?

nice tea
biscuits

The best thing was a happy little family.

Merry Christmas everyone.

I got some clothes, perfume and various tid-bits, but my lovely girlfriend went through the trouble of getting me a very, very geeky gift:

A Raspberry Pi, complete with case, Wi-Fi adapter, power supply, SD card, some IR-LEDs and an IR receiver. All of the above being compatible with the raspberry I got.

Awesomeness +1

I got a bunch of Scotch, tickets to The Book of Mormon, Hitman Absoultion, Assassin's Creed 3, tickets to a gospel version of Handel music, a book on the listing of the greatest Scotches (written by Michael Jackson, no not that one, the Beer guy), and a few Spanish wines and cheeses.

I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

My phat loot includes a new chess set (pics when it arrives, it had to be back-ordered!), Baldur's Gate Enhanced (PC game), two expansion packs for Death Angel (card game), blackberry honey, new Oregon State sweatshirt, mushroom motif playing card (spades = poisonous varieties, hearts = health, clubs = food, and diamonds = psychedelic, a really cool Arkham Horror board game (whose name I temporarily misremember), and pistachios.

Awesomeness.

Nice. Err, what do you plan on using it for?

'Cause I don't think it's "Arkham Horror" itself, since you mentioned that name in the post.

If I can include close-to-Christmas loot:

A Mac mini i7 (what I am currently writing this on: Mac OS X is considerably more user friendly than Ubuntu)
A new telly (32 inch Samsung LED - what I am reading this on)
An iPod nano (still getting used to the touchscreen)

Where did the perennially skint Xerxes get the valuta for all this? Well, the Benefit Tribunal decided in my favour, and the Government had to pay the difference between what they were paying me and what they should have been paying me for the over a year it took for the tribunal to hear my case. The appeal paperwork was Xerxes vs. Secretary of State (Iain Duncan Smith, a total cockwomble)
 and I won. Yay me!

Admittedly I gave a bit to charity, and rather more to my parents.

"Elder Sign" which was described to me just like Arkham Horror except easier, faster, funner, better.

Haven't had a chance to do anything but read the rules so far... :(
