Counting the loot

[Valynth]

Since it was Christmass recently, that naturally means theres phat lewt applenty.  As such this is the place to sound off exactly what you got for Christmas(or what ever holiday you celebrate this time of year)

As for me:
Game cube (yes, controller and hook-up included, but no memory card! GAAAH!  Oh well, no biggy)
Resident Evil 4
a pack of socks (THANK GOD!  I needed some of those)
some fancy black dress socks (Yes, I actually asked for these socks)
Sly Cooper 3 Band of thieves (PS2)
the "Just one more level...." shirt
Two pants (YES!  I need clothes darnit!)
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance  (PS2)
The book: Eragon
Some slippers (finally my feet can be warm in the mornings!)
and finally, Final Fantasy Seven: Advent children (pun intended)

....Why did I only get one shirt?  I need more!

[Dakata]

Dakata got:

-A shiny new WACOM tablet (No one else can touch it! IT'S MINE.)
-A draggy figurine ([Pics ])
-A new [used >->] scanner (My laptop won't lemme install it though. It's being a mean, laggy meaniehead.)
-Some clothes (Just some shirts. Feh. But at least 2 of them are good. They have monkeys on them! And my grandparents don't approve of one of them! Bwahah!)
-A gamecube game (Some Wallace and Gromit game. I'll probably just give it to my brothers though. Since I'm picky-ish and I'll only play Animal Crossing...or Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie...)

I'm-a gonna get more gifts though. I still need to visit my other grandparents...and my aunts and uncles...and my grandpa and step-grandma still owe me birthday presents so I'll probably get MOAR stuff...

You get really interesting presents if you don't wish for anything.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Trudat.

[Aisha deCabre]

I believe there are TWO topics on Christmas where people are already bragging about what they got...but oh well, this shall probably be the more original loot-counting place. 

My family got me: a new sweater, some new socks (and I actually needed new socks XD ), a new alarm clock/radio/CD player, a DVD set, and a gift certificate from Amazon for anything else.

Using the gift certificate, I'm getting:

--Three books from David Brin's new Uplift Trilogy (the one starting from Brightness Reef), also his illustrated guide to the Uplift universe (It's a good Sci-Fi series IMO).

--Dragonology book (Considering I thought Wizardology was cool, I wondered about this one all the time )

--The first Sly Cooper game

--And the strategy guide for Oblivion, last but not least.  I couldn't resist.  XD

--(EDIT) Okay, one more thing XD A best of Savage Garden CD.   

[Janus Whitefurr]

Loot.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Found a computer case I'd like to get with my PC Club gift card.

[Aridas]

That's the one with the tool-free drive bays isn't it? Have fun.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Is that bad?  I always heard they were really convenient.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

It's good. If you shuffle drives a lot, it's more than good.

needing a screwdriver to get drives in or out of bays is -so- last century.... :-)

<3 antiquated screwdriver technology 

I don't like those "toolless" boxes, and you can't make me. 

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

*laughs*

You don't have to like them. Some do, some don't. However, you can't argue that a screwdriver is faster. Particularly with some designs, where you have to disassemble half the machine to reach the screws...

I don't think you mean what you think you mean.  Never the less, I take your meaning; the toolless designs are faster... until something breaks.

No, I'm pretty sure that means what I want it to mean. "Never go in against a Sicilian, when Death is on the line!" :-)

You can't argue that a screwdriver is faster than toolless. Or, at least, not successfully. Not unless you're a hell of a lot faster with a screwdriver than I am, anyway.

Of course, it's fairly easy to misread. What I meant was, a screwdriver design tends to be slower to disassemble.

And, as you say, until something breaks, you're fine....
