Merry Crimmus!

Post by Locit »

Merry Crimmus, everyone! Post season's tiding and fat loot in this thread for all to see. I'll do so in a few days after I return to a country where Christmas is the government-recognized holiday it deserves to be, and where snow isn't regularly accompanied by unbelievably hazardous levels of pollution.

Family decided to do Christmas early this year to make everyone envious due to scheduling issues. Main noteworthy gifts:
  • Big winter coat. Likely to last me a decade.
  • Super Mario 3DS
  • iTunes versions of Sonic CD, SA1, and Heroes soundtracks. I'm a little disappointed by the choices in some cases (you felt Robot Carnival and several cutscenes were necessary, but not Egg Hawk or Emperor? Or Invincibility or Speed Up?). First time owning Japanese version of Sonic CD, so I'm looking forward to it.
  • $25 Chipotle Gift Card. Sweeeeet.
  • Wall-E 3-disc set.
  • Cowboys & Aliens. I haven't seen it yet, but the title, cast, and synopsis has me curious by itself.

- I got this shirt. I don't know who it is. I'm guessing Red Skull? It's a great shirt anyway (the photo doesn't do it justice)
- Skyward Sword. Hopefully I can get back into the Zelda spirit for the first time since Wind Waker. This one has a silly name as well, so that's nice. It's my first experience with MotionPlus as well
- A book about maths (because I am a nerd)
- Torchwood DVDs. I've heard mixed things about the series but I'd like to give it a try
- Scott Pilgrim DVD
- Push-up bars, since getting to the gym is tricky these days
- Money + chocolate

Got a badass black shirt. A huge step-up from last year's sandals, heh.

Gonna give myself Deathsmiles and probably Mass Effect 2.
