    One foot in front of the other, every day.
    New computer, chiefly.

    Fuck yeah, I can actually play contemporary games without resorting to my brother's PC.
  • LegionnaireLegionnaire
    I'll let you know when I open things.

    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Haven't got stuff yet. What I asked for was a new mouse and the first book of A Song of Ice and Fire.
  • NyktosNyktos
    a little muffled
    Portal 2 and some t-shirts, so far. More presents on actual Christas.
  • DYREDYRE

    Haven't actually opened my presents yet but I know what my parents got me anyway.

    Animu/mango.  Most notably the last K-ON! DVD and volumes 3 and 4 of the manga, plus season two of Haruhi, and second Cardcaptor Sakura manga omnibus Dark Horse rerelease thingy.  And other stuff.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    I have received:

    One vegeterian cookbook

    One DVD entitled "The Librarian: Quest for the Spear" which I like if only for the novelty of the title

    One Black Sabbath CD that seems to have been given to me to torture me

    One little fan I can plug directly into my laptop to cool it down

    One MtG deck, Sacred Assault, with a 15 card booster deck

    3 T-shirts with a decidedly masculine cut :|

    1 t-shirt with my name embroidred on it

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    So far I've received:
    Deus Ex Human Revolution
    80 (or more) dollars in Best Buy gift cards (Probably to be spent on The Old Republic)
    Some bitchin' headphones.

    More tomorrow, when it's actually Christmas here.

    Christmas was held a day early because of stuff, pretty much.

    Oh, formatting carries over. Huh.

    ^Regarding Persona 2: That's why I generally suggest playing the Persona games in order (and sometimes skipping the first, depending on how charitable I am. The series definitely improved over time.

    Regarding The Black Halo: Awesome. One of the few albums I actually own, and quite a good one.

    Deus Ex Human Revolution
    Did you ask for this?
    Dissidia: Final Fantasy (Doesn't work, I'm gonna have to return it)
    Recommendation: go and get Duodecim, if you can. It's everything in the original, plus a shitload more.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    @Inuh

    The worst part is how lackluster the quality of the writing is.

    I mean, I've only played it for half an hour, but I honestly don't care about any of the characters, and the story is just... Getting your Personas triggered by some idiot getting called the king of the underwear or something? That's just stupid!

    It's just all "WE ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU MAIN CHARACTERS AND TELL YOU WHAT THEIR PERSONALITIES ARE LIKE. PLEASE GIVE A CARE."


  • WaltzyWaltzy
    So far I got:

    Skyrim

    GTA: IV Complete Edition

    A bunch of art supplies

    Hello Kitty pajama pants that are freakishly cute and soft

    A big stuffed My Melody

    Chocolates

    And I'll have to wait until tomorrow and the day after for the rest~.

    ^^It gets better. I've played like four hours of it. Still a far cry from P3 or, from what I've heard, P4.

    Bear in mind, Persona 3 wasn't even originally going to be a Persona game until they realized how well it fit.
  • dmboogiedmboogie

    ^

    Eh, I'll have to give it time, I guess.

    Considering that there really isn't much linking the games together in the first case, that makes sense.
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Persona 1 and 2 (which do share continuity) are MMOs in the setting of P3. Not sure if P4 is related at all.

    Mario Kart 7 since having a birthday early in December makes it hard to find a large number of gifts for Christmas.
