The Official 2010 Christmas Loot Thread
I had my Christmas a few days ago, so I've gotten all of my presents. Here's my loot
Inception on Blu-Ray
Red Dead Redemption
Fallout: New Vegas
The Sly Collection
Various gift cards to Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, and Amazon (some of which have been redeemed for an iPod Touch)
$1000 cash
The cash was a special present from my parents. It was given to help pay for college loans.
" @RTSlord: i just finished the last episode of Band of Brothers today, amazing series. Don't know if you've already seen it but, if you haven't...you're in for a serious treat man. Best miniseries ive ever seen. Fucking great. Better than any wwii movie by far "Ive seen it. A TON. I freaking love that series to death, its my favorite series ever
Leather Jacket
Bunch of Clothes
$150 cash
.....
I got some great things this year and this was the first year I actually got something for my parents. Got my dad a bluray player with Iron Man 1 and 2, and Avatar and bought my mom an HD webcam. Cost me around $350 which is a lot considering I'm pretty poor right now but they deserve it.
I'll update this once I open the rest of my gifts in the morning.
So far I got:
Pajamas
Assorted Popcorn
Sweet new leather wallet
I thought the wallet was pretty neat, and thanked my step-grandfather for it. I looked it over more closely and noticed, to my surprise, that it held a $100 bill.
That was just the stuff from my step-mom's family. I'll be visiting my other relatives tomorrow. However, I do know that one of my gifts will be a suit for job interviews. I know because I was there when my parents bought it, and they took it and me to the tailor so they could get it adjusted.
A bomb vest?" I'm Muslim...so take a wild guess. "
Ohohoho I'm hilarious.
I don't get presents anymore.
" @InfamousBIG said:This was my first time seeing it, and, man, I was sorry to see it end today. Love the shit out of it. Winters is amazing, Nix is fucking great. Currahee!" @RTSlord: i just finished the last episode of Band of Brothers today, amazing series. Don't know if you've already seen it but, if you haven't...you're in for a serious treat man.

Gifts that had my name on them but were actually for someone else (The "Oops, My Bad" gift)"
- Playing cards and two keychains
I used to buy a lot of gifts for others until I realised while I was spending lots, I was receiving crap. Last year that changed, I told everyone to keep their money and just get themselves a gift. Worked out well, last year was the first time in ages I could get myself something decent. (40" Samsung lcd tv), this year, a 360 s with red dead and a sidewinder x4 keyboard. I had played red dead on the ps3 beforehand. While both versions play in hd, the ps3 version only played in 720p while the 360 plays in full 1080p....weird!
So far, I have gotten:
- Borderlands: Game of the Year (PS3: with voucher for Duke Nukem Forever First Access and voucher for all 4 Borderlands DLC Packs)
- Dead Rising 2 (PS3)
- Playstation Move Bundle (PS Move, PS Eye, Sports Champion and Move Game Demo Disc)
- $50 GameStop Gift Card
- $40 Barnes and Noble Gift Card
I guess they missed my hints as to get Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood...but in the end, this was a great year xD
- Amazon Kindle
- Kindle Cover and Case
- Reservoir Dogs framed movie poster
- Cajon Drum Box
- Andy Warhol Calender
- Frapp Maker
- Sobakawa Pillow
- Razer Mouse Pad
Not a bad haul- very diverse.
