Merry Christmas, fellow sweaty nerds. Post in this thread to share your good tidings and, more importantly, to talk about the nerdy shit you got for Christmas.
e.g. my sister and I are giving my uncle's family Scene It? for 360 as a combined gift, and I anticipate much playing over the next 24 hours or so.
P.S. this isn't an off-topic thread, just follow my lead

..This may be the wrong thread for this, actually.
I gave my kid sister (9) a copy of the new edition of The Way Things Work so she won't grow up to be a moron like her older sister.
Eternal Darkness for my mum
Eternal Sonata for my brother
The only nerdy stuff I've really asked for is warhammer things, so we'll see how that goes. Well, and animal crossing for the wii.

As for what I am getting? Who knows. Hopefully Left 4 Dead on 360. I picked up two 2000 Wii pt cards for my sister to give to her husband. They only charged me $20. Go team.

what he said
Edit: And Chrono Trigger DS
Seriously, I've posted this like 9 times tonight, but I got me some Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Whiskey (the base package store bought a whole barrel for themselves and it is delicious), a wireless keyboard and mouse, and fallout fucking 3. I'm drunk and wishing I could play fallout right now, but the wife and I are spending time together/sitting in bed with our laptops conversing whilst we type.
That's about as nerdy as it gets. And I got a 15 dollar gift card for iTunes. Are there any iPhone games or apps worth getting?

Hey now..
I'm only sweaty cause I have a 105f fever.
I would probably want to try the katamari one.
I don't spend nearly enough time posting on this forum, but good tidings to all anyway
As for nerdy shit: nada this year.
I've gotten plenty of nerdy related shit throughout the year though.

Man, what.
You should be using your mouth/tongue :winky:
My wife got me the Hellboy Library Edition Vol 1 and 2 which is unbelievably awesome. They are oversized hardcovers containing the first 4 volumes of the Hellboy comic TPBs. I've already read all the regular Hellboy TPBs, but it's still going to take me forever to read these since I just stare at the art for ages. They're absolutely gorgeous.
My mom and aunt went a bit nuts and got us:
Babylon 5 Movie boxset
Babylon 5 Armies of Light and Dark paperback
The Dunwich Horror and others hardcover
At the Mountains of Madness hardcover
Dagon and other Macabre Tales hardcover
Hellboy 2 DVD
The Amazing Screw-on Head DVD
The 3 Lovecraft hardcovers are from Arkham House and collect all of his work. I've already read almost of all of his stuff online since it's now public domain, but there's nothing like having a nicely bound book to read on the couch. I'm so happy since I've wanted these for forever. The B5 DVDs complete my collection, and the other discs are awesome too.
One of my good friends also got me:
Red Dwarf season VII and VII DVDs
Clash of the Titans DVD
He said he was outright shocked that I didn't own Clash, and felt like he had to remedy the situation stat. Release the Kraken! I've been putting off getting Dwarf SVII and VIII for a while now, so this is awesome that I have finally have all the seasons. I'm thinking of marathoning it for Xmas day.
So a delightfully geeky holiday filled with Mignola, Del Toro, Lovecraft, B5, Harryhausen, and Red Dwarf. I can't think of anything better!
EDIT:
My G&T Secret Santa also hooked me up with the Megas - Get Equipped, and a stuffed headcrab which are both fantastic. Thanks werehippy!

You hateful bastard. :-/
I got myself this little beaut for christmas. What's that? What did I get for everyone else? Oh, well...uh...Christmas cards are always fashionable, right?
And I don't do the whole buying gifts for people because I'm lazy so hopefully nobody gives me anything because then I'll feel bad.
i'm glad you got it, I was afraid it'd miss you when i threw it
The only thing I regret is that we're not going to be able to set it up so that she sees it when she comes out first thing in the morning. Getting my Genesis like that was one of my best Christmas memories.
NINTENDO SIXTY WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
My fucking dad had my 64 set up in his office at work since launch so when I got it on xmas all my games already had saves on them. 7th grade! *fistshake*

Is it THAT bad? He is the one who wanted it, so I blame him if it is bad. Ha. He isn't that picky with games and likes pretty much everything that he gets. If it is horrible, at least he will also have the new Aqua Teen season from me too. :P

Merry Christmas to all G&Ters from your friendly neighbourhood German!
This is what my gifts were:
Hells Yeah!
It snowed for two days here in CT and now it is raining as well. It's a white xmas, but still totally lame with the rain.
