Mecha Talk

So once again it's already been a year later since I last remember making this thread.
So for Australia it's already Christmas day and it's that time of year to post up what I got christmas.

So I got.

Char's CounterAttack on DVD
1001 Video Games you must play before you die(book)
sweet things
$150 AU in cash
Baileys drink(alcohol)
2 small random Transformer toys.

So that is what I got this year.
What did you get this year mechatalk?

All in this same week, my mom got me the perfect black peacoat, and in the mail I received both a paycheck of $300 from working in last month's elections and a 1/144 Taurus Gunpla I bought from eBay. Not a bad bounty this year if I do say so myself.

it helps when the most expensive things you ask for are T-shirts and a microphone.

Not much. Just a hardback copy of "Assh***s Finish First" by Tucker Max, and the laughter that comes from reading it.

So far...

-$200 in giftcards/checks
-A(nother) Van Halen t-shirt
-An Ogie Ogilthorpe shirt
-Giant tin of assorted popcorns
-New Xbox 360 S console

The 360 was a last minute thing, as my semi-battered old 360 finally died off earlier in the week, so it was half from my mom and half from myself. There are still some of my family I haven't had a chance to see yet, and I'm already planning on getting myself a few things, namely new books and the new Family Guy Star Wars episode on DVD.

Hey! why don't you swing on down to the RPG section? Tales from the Frontlines: The AEUG running strong since 2006!

I got a new Droid 2 cellphone, some underwear, and new car speakers.

Mechwarrior Living Legends: A Crysis Wars total conversion mod. Now with Masakari Clan Assualt mech, Solitaire Clan Light mech, Chimera Inner sphere medium mech, and Ares clan medium tank.

You can now play without having to purchase Crysis Wars, see here for more details.

I got a pretty nice quantity of cash.
District 9 art book.
a new scarf to go with my peacoat.
some nice clothes from Hollister.

not much based on what I typed, but all I really wanted for Xmas was cash and that's what I got. I'll probably put some of it towards my new obsession with Gundam.

My word, Fritz's ammo really left me a bit speechless. I suppose it goes well with World War Z.

I didn't get much, mostly because stupid European airports closed down in a fit of snow-induced hysteria.
- My lord, what is that white stuff on the tarmac? Simmons, check that it isn't blow!
- *snorts* *sneezes* It isn't sir, it's cold and wet.
- Well the only thing to do now is to shut down everything and leave all Xmas pressies people ordered from overseas to rot. Especially those marked for Antares.

So I got a new wok (you know, a pan), a new blender, some clothes (jumpers, socks, dress shirts), a few books (that my brother had had the foresight to order in the beginning of Dec). Aside from that I mostly got money with the instructions to buy myself whatever I wanted while pretending they were actually from the persons who gave me the money. I have several goodies incoming:
- The Big Bang Theory Seasons 1-3
- District 9 DVD
- Childhood's End (Arthur C. Clarke)
- Jimmy Carr: Making People Laugh DVD (stand-up)
- QI:The Second Book of General Ignorance - John Mitchinson; John Lloyd
- Necronomicon - H. P. Lovecraft
