View Full Version : Christmas: your best present?
So, what did you guys get for this Christmas, and what was the best one?
I'm wrtting from my new computer, I'm so happy, now the computer doesn't take ages to load Capcom Europe main page :hop:
I got a book(5th and 6th of Pratchetts Discworld,ist a double feature, yay!), a parfume(Antonio Banderas? Ehm :D), money and 4 games:
Naruto: ultimate ninja storm
Uncharted: drakes fortune
God of war collection
and last the best Demons souls.
Best present were money because i can buy several games for that(but i will buy kickboxing gear for that)but the present that made me most happy so far is demons souls - Its so damn hard but in the same time so addictive! I shouted twice in anger and almost had a ragequit at one point, i dont even remember the last game where i was so angry :D.
If anyone else is playing this game, let me please know, i really need help. I still have to beat the tower knight and i couldnt beat him even with 2 random players i summoned. Now im in soul form + i dont have any herbs, i used them all on that boss, im screwed.

I kinda wanted the new Zelda DS game but forgot to tell anyone so Im gonna have to get that myself...woo for self presents!

I got nothin lol, ive got everythin i needed b4 so i had no wishes. But it was a good xmas, i dont need presents that much, just beeing with the family and stuff is cool enough, having dinner and a good talk. BTW is didnt say this yet so..... HAPPY XMAS ^^
Being invited to the Capcom Christmas party, best early present ever. :D
But from family and friends, I've got a Terry's Chocolate Orange (now partially eaten) from my Nan, black and red wollen gloves and a bottle of Lynx Instinct from my sister, Harvey Birdman Season 1 from my little sister's boyfriend, a pair of slippers from my sister.
All very useful things, but I have unfortunately trancended earthly wants, a full time job means I can get any thing at nearly any time with the wonders of online shopping. Bought myself an Arcade Fightstick (an official Madcatz Street Fighter IV one, of course) to get me through the christmas and new years madness, and when I get enough cash behind me, I'll be buying gifts for all my friends and relatives.

I got:
Borderlands (360)
Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines (PSP)
£20 GAME gift card
2 Jeremy Clarkson books
A biography about Hunter S. Thompson
"It's begining to look a lot like Zombies" A Zombie Christmas Carol Book
A Star Wars board game
And a Miniature Statue of the Great Dread Lord Cthulhu
Me & Lindsey also got the joint present of DJ Hero (PS3), which is awesome.
This was my best Christmas yet. It was quiet, calm, and unexpected. It felt like a nice and relaxing day, which is new for me...
On the bad side, however, I have developed a stomach Ulcer from stress...
I had a nice christmas, where my fanily from Australia didn't come over. The rest of my family came over for a couple of hours. A quiet Christmas without 30-something family members trying to squish into my house ftw!!! :D
My best present was Tales of Vesperia...although I haven't actually tried it yet. If the demo, ToP and ToS are anything to go by, it should be amazing :)
I also got Zelda: Spirit Tracks, which I'm gonna go try now.
I got some pretty awesome things...Husband surprised me with a very cool necklace, a watch, a heart rate monitor (for my training, I'm not suffering any heart conditions :p) and blanket with sleeves - perfect for gaming :D

Got a Nintendo Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, which I've named WiiZilla (it's all I could think of D: ) so now I can finally play those Wii exclusive Resi's I've been missing :3 (loves me some on-rail shooters) And the lovely, lovely Hickabod got me a copy of House of the Dead: Overkill. It's seriously a brilliant game, really recommended if you've got a Wii. :D

It better be a Street Fighter Snuggie. :p
I got Columbo seasons 1-8 dvd set, Band of Brothers and Fight Club on blu-ray, which look awesome on the format. My lil sis also got me an MGS3 Big Boss statute which I've been ordered to place next to the PS3. My auntie got me wellington socks. I don't own wellingtons, but damn they're comfortable xD

Band of Brothers
Band of Brothers is awesome. So much better than Saving Private Ryan.
Good to see you back on the forums dude.
Indeed it's really great, and the blu-ray has just got this awesome picture and sound quality, it's unreal (or real!).
I forgot one though: I got Dead Space gifted to me on the pc Steam store. Really enjoyed playing through it.

Coal.
Been a bad girl, Raine? :p
Do you still need to ask? :)
That aside, I'd rather have a piece of coal then the only thing I got... an air refresher, shaped like Piglett from Winnie the Pooh.
It's insulting on EVERY level. xD

*points and mocks* :giggle:
That beats the present my older sis bought me a few years ago (not that many) - a baby grow pijamas. Might be cute when you're a baby, not after 3 :blink:

Picked up my stash from the grandma's today; got a load of the usual nonsense, i.e. stuff to do with cleanliness (Lynx, etc.).
Did get a nice Kronenberg gift set (bottle of the stuff and a branded glass) which I will be using on Thursday at a New Year party. Gonna be my one and only drink glass.
Also got Street Fighter IV (with a nice Ryu game sleeve) surprisingly, from my cousins. Had to repay the favour and get them New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
Coal.
what worries me about this is that this topic is about our best presents
i myself got some money and a cartoon themed mug
Me new slippers:blink:
And a few PS3 games:chin:
Seeing my children open all their presents and the look on their faces.
I got a new Laptop just before Christmas but Resi Darkside Chronicles on Christmas day for me.
Oops, still haven't posted mine yet.
Some sexy Steelseries headphones. First time I tried them out my ears couldn't belief what they were hearing.

You got the AK ice maker?! I was looking at that earlier today - it's still "favorited" or something in my ebay account...
And Yeah, I know what logic is - isn't that fairly pricey?

Yeah, it's pretty cool. The tray is like an AK47 magazine too :) I'll let you know what the ice bullets come out like when i make my first batch!

Was it in a snow drift? I lost a mars bar and our hotel keys that way.
That's the perils of skis, dodgy knees. You should snowboard instead, you only bust your ankles :p

I'm curious about it too...
My best present this christmas was the signed SF4 artwork i recieved from Nat, what she said she won from the Capcom Zombie Wonderland game.:D
So thank's to Nat and to Tenebra for such a wonderful gift.
Once i buy a new camera in the sales (old one is broken), i will post a pic up of it.
take a photo of the camera too.
