A Few Giftings to Myself.

By WallacetheGreat 16 Comments

Merry Christmas........to ME!!!

What $120 worth of gift cards and U.S. currency will get you these days.
What $120 worth of gift cards and U.S. currency will get you these days.




























Hello peeps, just wanted to write a quick post about what I got (myself) for Jesus' birthday. Now while that may sound like I'm calling my family out for only getting me shirts and gift cards, the truth is I'm glad I received cards and monies. I've never been a very easy person to buy gifts for. Usually whatever it is I want I've already planned out how to obtain it, so most holidays are filled with clothing and novelty items. So as usual, after Christmas I go and buy a few of the things that had caught my eye at one time or another.

The Dark Knight (Blu-ray)

Blu-ray is srs fckn bsns.
Blu-ray is srs fckn bsns.
I saw this one on sale at Target today, so it seemed like a good idea. Watched it in a theater and thought it was pretty great, so I wouldn't mind seeing how it looks in HD. The only problem I've found is I have a hard time telling the difference in quality between DVD and Blu-ray. This might be in part because my HDTV sucks, or that I'm going blind (a possibility).





Lost (Season 4)

4, 8, 15 ,16, 23, 42

I'm a big Lost fan, so this was a definite purchase. Maybe without commercials messing with the flow of the episode, I can finally understand what the fuck is going on. Though now that I think about it, that probably won't be any help....

Halo: The Cole Protocol

H3Y! WheRe iz teh MaSar CHEeF!?

I've read the other Halo novels, so I have a fairly clear idea of what my experience will be. Before you laugh and call my a closet fanboy, I would just like to say that I know this book is going to be terrible.  The only reason I picked this up is to see just how terrible it really is. I kind of expect this one to be a step above a porno script, but perhaps that's giving it too much credit.









Watchmen

Someone should tell him he has ketchup on his face....

I've heard good things about this novel. Hell, it even says "The Most Celebrated Graphic Novel of All Time" on the back cover, so how could it possibly be disappointing. Of course, I've also heard negative things from certain people, so once I have read this "masterpiece" I might perhaps give my impressions, if anyone actually cares.

Yeah same with me. I seems to be a pretty ambitious person, so I obtain most of the stuff I want on my own. Christmas just seems to always be those things that I kinda wanted, but not really. If you know what I mean?

And Dark Knight on Blu Ray is WAY better quality at my house. So it most likely is your tv. Keep in mind though, I was running it in 1080p....so of course its going to look way better.

The jarring thing about the Dark Knight blu-ray in 1080p is when they change from Imax cameras to regular cameras.
Everything in Imax is fullscreen and slightly brighter than the letterboxed, more subdued lighting of the regular shots.

And the extras disc is complete dogshit. The psychology of Batman feature is insultingly bad.

Nice gifts, but I also got the Watchmen, but it's the Absolute Watchmen, which is fucking huge.

Look forward to your views on the Watchmen. Alan Moore is a great writer. The Dark Knight on Blu-ray is also a good pick-up.

Awesome buys!  I bought myself a PS3 w/ Metal Gear Solid 4 along with The Dark Knight & WALL-E on Blu-Ray.  I need to get Lost Season 4 ASAP as well(maybe even on Blu-Ray, perhaps?).  I can't wait for the new season to start on the 21st.  ^__^
