KungFuSquirrel · January 2005

From my wife:

Killzone

Other cool bits:

Caboose · January 2005

I got WoW + a gamecard, I'm good till around the end of March.

That's it really, I should have gotten a new PSU too, because WoW crashes my PC with my pidly 200W PSU.

What I would have really liked though, was a job <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

Bijiy · January 2005

World of warcraft, and money.

I love guns... Its the one thing that makes me wish I didn't grow up in Canada (although I still used to shoot back in scouts, it's just really hard to get your own guns and no one in civilized regions shoots at all)

Align · January 2005

This thread makes me green with envy.
I got 4 comic books(2 of them mangas), one ordinary book(Stupid White Men ~ which hasn't changed my opinion of Bush any, but rather informed me that Clinton wasn't Mr Good Guy like I had thought)...
Clothes...
ZM-RS6FM headset, and an InnoAX mp3 player.
Some perfume(whatever it's actually called in English) from my older brother.
Set of one-time razors, that can be used several times just fine, without shaving creme or whatsit... shaved for the first time in my life three or four days ago.
<b>6-PACK ACTION!</b> 6 DVD action movies totalling 10 hours of playtime. Though this was to me and my father rather than just me.

In fact not so bad.

Snidely · January 2005

Let's see.

- chocolate
- that Source based vampire game
- Zelda: Minish Cap
- Pikmin 2
- more chocolate
- weird pouch thing that looks like a gun holster (!!)
- Battle for Middle Earth
- this awesome tiger claw thing
- very sharp knives, ideal for carving meat
- water-proof, stain proof apron so I don't have to change clothes every time I prepare a meal or wash up (:
- a miniture of a dragon.

That's all I can remember at the moment.

As usual, I haven't touched most of the games yet. The only one I've tried is Pikmin 2, and I'm leaving that for the time being (I collected 50% of the debt in three days, and I didn't want to finish it so close to Christmas). I'm still playing WH40k:DoW, I restarted Vice City before the holiday, and I've been going through Advance Wars 2 again getting an S rank on every mission in the hard campaign. The other games go in my pouch, which is full of gaming pus.
