Joe, the way you phrased the topic ' what the hell did you get' makes you sound angry?

why are you angry? is because of Shenmue on the 360? or is it because of the gears?

Because nobody knows about the TRUE meaning of Christmas, which is all about some Jesus dip.

Just kidding, I don' t give a rat' s ass about Jesus, either. And I' m not angry. Shenmue 2 on the 360 doesn' t work very well, though. The 360 is not powerful enough for Shenmue, apparently.

The same thing I get every year, about 400$-500$ total from various relatives, plus a few stocking stuffers.

Mom-80$
Grandma-?
Grandpa-60$
Aunt-?

Grandpa=75$
Grandma=100$ (they are still together, married for 52 years yet they each give me a cheque)
Uncle2=10$+ a book (I only see him once every few years)
Unce3=40$+ a book
Uncle4=60$
Aunt=40$

My Aunt and Grandma will probably give me money as well.

So far I bought a few books including the latest Halo novel Ghost of Onyx. There' s nothing really that I want. I' ll probably save my money for Windows Vista, a new power supply and a new DX10 card and I plan to upgrade next summer. I could buy a Wii or PS3, but neither of them seem remotely worth it yet. I' ll wait a year or two for those.

The best thing about this year is that I got to meet my first cousin on my dad' s side who was born last September. I have so many uncles and an aunt but for the longest time my brother and I were the only kids in the family. I' m 20 years older than my cousin which makes him look like he' s from a new generation.

My family, finally, after all these years have gotten me something I truly wanted and couldn' t acquire on my own.

My little sister, bless her soul, got me a brand new shiny Xbox360.
Finally my shame s gone. I can call myself a gamer again.

It' s almost enough to make me believe this holiday isn' t a bunch of commercial bullshit...

...almost.

For the last year I' ve had to endure the torture of being left in the last generation. Everytime I look at my entertainment center now, there' s a glowing aura of technological greatness. A holy glow that lets me know that once again everything is right in the world.

If you were a firefighter, I' d expect you to be at least a bit more familiar with the English language.

A helicopter ride.


I guess that was a tough one to rap.

I guess they have Firefighters in other country' s which don' t speak English Joe, But everybody knows Firefighters are Imaginary like the Lock-ness Monster and Religious People.

A few days ago I just bought the best thing for about 50$ that I' ve ever seen. I saw an X-men DVD rom in the computer games section at FutureShop and I picked it up thinking I didn' t know about this game when I read that it wasn' t a game but a comic book compilation. This DVD has every X-men comic from the first one in 1963 through to August 2005. It says on the box that it as over 485 complete printable X-Men comics or 17 000 pages. Basically every Uncanny X-Men comic published up until August of 2005. When i first picked this up I thought this must be a scam, this has to be bullshit. No way could I get all (minus the last year or so) the X-men comics for only 50$.

I thought maybe it was just pictures of the covers or some stupid shit, but true enough. When I put the DVD in my computer I had a godly amount of awsomness at my disposal. the DVD uses Adobe Acrobat Reader to display the pages. The navagation is pretty simple. Just choose a year and you can choose any of the comics in from that year.

I was never really into comics as I never had a proper venue to buy them from growing up but I loved X-men fromt he cartoon series. So it' s a real joy to have almost 500 X-Men comics at my disposal all at once. I' m even enjoying the early ads from the 60s and 70s.

Socks, I didn' t get socks this year. I wish I did because something is eating my fucking socks. I don' t know about you guys but I swear I have a sock eating monster in my place of residence. There always seems to be less socks of what comes out than what I put in the wash. Where the fuck do the socks go!? How the hell do we keep getting mismatched socks from the wash when I always wear matching socks?! It' s the fucking sock monster i tell you! The fucking sock monster!

EDIT: I don' t even have any pets in the house if my brothers don' t count as pets.

As do I, except I know who the culprit is in my house. It' s my bloody dog he' s partial to socks and just about everything else that he isn' t supposed to be munching on.

Three Katana Blades!!!

Are we talking cheap traders-post, home-shopping network SAM-YOU-RYE SWOREDZ, or are we talking something wow here?


4.) Sneak King
I' m buying all 3 Burger King games, & not taking them out of their wrappers. In 20 years I' ll be a fricking millionaire.

I just got a 22" viewable CRT monitor & a VGA 360 lead courtesy of Santa Clause, who conveniently uses my EB Edge card ID.

I may also be buying a used PSP if my next paycheck comes through with a little extra.

I still haven' t been able to get a used PSP though, & it' s ticking me off. Got myself the Burger King games though.
