Re: Holiday Gift Thread

@psychoangel: nice headphones A good set of headphones is always nice to have~

@RE_Alioth2: Getting money is a double-edged sword for Christmas. On one hand, you can get whatever you want. On the other hand, I feel like Christmas is the only time of year I get things that I would have otherwise not gotten myself.

@tc_halogen: nice kb Also, wowow...stop opening your gifts before xmas :P even if someone gives me an xmas gift before xmas unwrapped, I'll go through the trouble of wrapping it myself and then unwrapping it on xmas lmfao

@koga939: LOL at the socks. I have a BUNCH of socks, I'd give it to you if I could. I actually could use underwear for xmas though...

@rngrx: What about gifts from friends, coworkers, etc?

@Mahou: !!!

@preggers: stay warm my friend

@alex: nice combo (tv/capture card/ splitters). someone knew what to get you !!

It's still Christmas Eve here...so no (opened) presents yet :P

Re: Holiday Gift Thread

look out FFR


I don't even have a full handle on how to really optimize my taps but I've already done stupid shit and I'm so excited I can't even contain myself akjdshkjhasd

I also got a set of dominoes, but this is a real set that is made of a real thick resin/phenolic core; feels like the real deal, too.

Also, I should add that I got a MIDI keyboard, but I've had that for a bit now even though it was intended to be a holiday gift. I also got an audio mixer, also opened before holidays because who cares?

What color switches is this? (I have the numberpad-less version of this one.) Love it to pieces mostly.

Can't complain with this, probably my favourite tv show of all time


Should be getting a copy of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel later as well which should be sweet (amongst other things of course)

Pre-ordered for myself.

Basically this. I usually do my best to be creative or be as thoughtful as I can when it comes to gift buying.

Re: Holiday Gift Thread

Got my dad chocolates, mom and step-dad a snowglobe with a cardinal in it, got my older sister a hard copy of Humans of New York, burnt a CD of some recent stuff I've been listening for my youngest brother, and my second youngest brother I got Arboreal by The Flashbulb.

And so far I've received from a Secret Santa exchange on a Tetris forum an old Tetris handheld:

Yeah it's easier for me to just get money on the holidays since I can pretty much get what I would use, but I wouldn't mind receiving an actual gift

Usually we get mostly money/giftcards but this year I figured maybe actually ask for a few things because I always just end up using the money for bills lol.

We celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve at my grandma's house, now we have like 3 Christmas things to do today. I'm already tired.

Pajamas, Socks, A case to put bathroom items in, Gloves, 2 shirts, 2 pants. Work sent me 2 large packs of bacon and pancake mix. Got myself a 750 GTX ti for my Mini itx htpc computer thing. Replaced a 560 gtx that was getting to 85 celcius.

Bought a 760 gtx, i3 cpu, harddrive and powersupply and built a computer with this girl I know.
Edit: It was for her if that wasn't implied.

Blue switches.

I think it would be quite natural to want people to enjoy what you got them -- it doesn't have to be praise, though!

EDIT:

Got a CRT television, video capture card, and RCA splitters to get off the emulator for speedrunnin'. B)

Ordered myself Spyro: A Hero's Tail and Crash Bandicoot: Warped.

I'm more excited about giving things to people, ask AJ. But nothing wrong with enjoying the things we get as well. I manage to shock AJ every year with what I get him XD
