All right gentlemen, now's the time to show how spoiled some of you are while letting others tell you that you're getting too much free stuff from mommy and pappy.
So post what you got... or what you didn't get. Whatever floats your boat.
From my brother, I got a new PSU to power a motherboard and GPU upgrade that I've been wanting to do for months.
From my sister, I got a funny t-shirt that she had made with some company that makes you shirts if you send them the image to go on the shirt. She made a picture of a silhouette holding a log above it's head with the caption "DEVIL LOG" under it. 20 points to anyone who catches this most epic reference.
From my parents, I got a very nice topcoat, which means I need to buy some clothes to wear under it now. Unfortunately, it's just slightly too large and I will have to get the sleeves shortened somehow.
And from me to me, a Serial Experiments Lain box set with the fucking rare, Australian box. Still waiting on that, as I bought it just this morning.

- An electric beard trimmer
- A couple shirts
- A thermos that hopefully won't start leaking
- Some generic wallet and pocket knife set that I get every year from the same person
- A three hole punch (extremely useful for me)
- A wireless adapter that's compatible with my backup Windows 98 computer (not really for Christmas, but I waited until then to open it.)
- $225 combined from various relatives
- Roughly $140 worth of car parts my Dad agreed to pay for, including:
A new brake master cylinder
Exhaust hangers
Some fasteners for my suspension
The only thing I asked for this year was the three hole punch. My Dad paid for the car parts out of desperation to get me something.

The problem with me is, I always want such specific items, I genuinely don't trust anybody else to pick them out or order them for me. So then it would totally ruin the surprise of it all, and I just end up not asking for anything.

Wow Psilous, no offense but you've got to be the biggest fucking otaku freak I've ever seen on here. Seriously, your hobby/obsession scares the shit out of me.
After carefully studying your list of gifts, I'm going to risk offending you by surmising that you're the only female on TWHL, and whoever that guy in your avatar is, it sure as hell ain't you.

This year, I didn't feel like giving any gifts or receiving any, so I only got gifts for my son and my parents. I only received a gift from my wife--a $50 gift card to the local pet store (because I got pet goldfish recently).
I feel that I already have everything that I ever wanted, so I don't really miss anything.

If I had the money for PC version I'd definitely play it. But I do have a lot of friends on 360 that play it, so it made it easier to ask for them to find the one in the green box since they were shopping in that area anyway.
Plus the avatar awards are pretty cool. I have a Medkit for beating all 5 campaigns. And a tshirt for getting Gnome Chompinski through Dark Carnival.
