Thread: What you get for Christmas?

    Additional Post-Christmas stuff I got!

    Acoustic strings and a locking strap for my guitar...believe it or not, guitars fall off from time to time if the straps aren't locked in place. Yay!

    A set of metric Allen wrenches, because my gf's AriaProII (an electric guitar) needed them. Set up the neck, action, intonation, now it plays like a dream!

    A bottle of Manischewitz. Happy New Year!

    I could use a shtickle of Manischewitz right about now.

    Did you enjoy them Tori?

    Anyway, this Christmas, I received:

    - A nice leather messenger bag
    - An autobiography
    - Juggling balls
    - A toiletry set
    - A scarf
    - Assorted chocolates
    - iPad Mini Case
    - Fake mustaches
    - Christmas Jumper
    - Christmas Braces (seriously, they have Santa's face on them)
    - £50 Next store giftcard

    And I'm probably missing some other things, like stationary and other small things, but that's the gist of it. I love my messenger bag. Really nice leather. No video games, though, unfortunately.

    I really want a PS4, so I can get XV and Type-0 when they come out, but I'm just looking at the cost...

    Of course I enjoyed them. BioWare is one of my favorite developers.

    The combat will be a bit more tactical than the rest of those games, and you'll have to get used to having a silent protagonist again (which still isn't unheard of even these days, so you may not even have to get used to it lol) But otherwise still good ol' BioWare fun times

    Spent a little of my Christmas money the other day. Got myself the Age of Empires bundle on Steam, and also bought a nice haul of makeup too. I'm so excited because I haven't bought any makeup for ages really!

    I can't wait to play around with these!!!

    I don't dislike BioWare, I just never got the mega hype. Whenever I play a BioWare game my verdict on it is "Well it was pretty good. That's about it. Pretty good. "

    The games are good, and solid, but they always seemed to be missing something to me. I'm not sure what. I accept that it's probably just me.

    Well, there's tons of beloved games out there that just don't jive with me, so I can relate. We can't all love everything I guess

    I watched my brother play the first game and I can tell you right now I'm never going to get used to it. Not after DA2.

    REMTV and a nice home-made Tom Baker Doctor Who scarf. It's nice and long and warm!

    I'm slowly working my way through REMTV. I want to savour it.

    $100, which became payment for an artist who did the cover art for my forthcoming tenth album.
    A roll of duct tape
    An external hard drive

    And I also took some other spare cash and bought myself Prince's "Art Official Age".

    I'm discussing my 108, er, 111 favorite games of all time in THIS THREAD so go check it out and join the conversation!
