The Holiday Loot Thread

[Jericho]

Ok, well now that I have officially received everything I know of so far, it's time to mention it!

- Figure Drawing: Design & Invention by Michael Hampton
- A New Wallet with $10 in it.

...that's it.

What's really funny in a strange way about this all is I had more fun with these spoils than I have the entire year so far. The wallet thing is part of a very interesting story from earlier in the year where I lost my 8 year old wallet earlier this year. Anyone who knows me IRL knows that my wallet is second only to my life in terms of things I take care of and keep tabs on. Strangely enough though, I couldn't find it anywhere and it unnerved the hell out of me for a good while.

As it turns out though, my family had actually found it a good time ago and made a sort of joke gift out of it by putting the veteran wallet with all of it's contents underneath the newer one they got me in the same wrapping.

The book is another story entirely. Being that I am trying on my own time to work at getting better with drawing for numerous reasons, I had gotten a few interesting books earlier in the year to read from. I did to some extent, and I'm thankful for that, but all the same I found myself still kinda looking for a more visual aid. I told one of my friends about this and they pointed me in the direction of that book. I just got my copy in the mail today and just from reading the first few pages, I'm more satisfied with this purchase than I can describe. It's a really well done book.

And that's all for now folks!

Mega Edit: Looks like Santa was late this year since we got quite a bit more from him after Christmas Day!

- Panasonic VIERA 42" S1 Series Plasma TV (The gift to everyone from everyone that stays in my room. )
- 2 Nintendo Wii Remotes & Nunchuks with Motion Plus Accessories in Black ()
- A preorder for a kickass new laptop (Granted I might/will pay for it entirely.)
- Nintendo DSi Aqua Blue (It's like my GBC days all over again! )
- The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

[VixyNyan]

I'll wait for my boyfriend to take pictures of the gifts I gave him~ I'm kind and generous after all. ^.^ </wii>

Akira got a:
- Nintendo DS
- R4 Flash Cartridge
- 2 GB Sandisk Micro SD + USB Reader
- 3-in-1 Expansion GBA-shaped Cartridge
- Pokémon Ruby
- Cute letter I wrote for him, with an adorable Princess VixyNyan on it. ^.^

[Mirby]

I wish I had an R4...

Akira got a bunch of cool stuff! But I got Gargoyle's Quest, so I win! at least, I do in my head...

[Irgendein]

An original DS? Sweet! Hope Akira likes it. Anyways.. I'm a bit intrigued:

- 3-in-1 Expansion GBA-shaped Cartridge

What does this "expand" on, exaclty?

[Nekomata]

ram, and piracy.

Uh, and some useless rumble pack.

[megaman24681012]

I got a 40 inch LCD TV from my mother this year.

I'm getting a PS3 from my dad January too.

...Yeah, I feel spoiled xD.

Lucky bastard, I got nothing... 

[VixyNyan]

- 32/64 MByte NOR memory, so you can permanently store 1 GBA game on it, and use it on any other GBA system and also unlock secret things from DS games that has a GBA-unlock feature.
- 16 MByte PSRAM memory, so you can play a GBA game directly from the DS cartridge, a soft-load if you want to call it that. When you turn off the game, the PSRAM'd game will disappear from the 3-in-1.
- Extra RAM for DS Internet Browsers, like the Opera browser for example.
- Rumble feature for your DS games. Low, Medium, High rumble.

It's right here.

He got it for playing GBA games. I guess the rumble feature is useless.

[Irgendein]

It's right here.

Hmm, looks tempting to get, but I think I'm fine playing GBA games on my Wii
