"Merry Crimbo - What did you get in your stockings/what presents did you get?"

I hope you all have a great Christmas, but mine cannot begin until my bloody dad wakes up. He only went to sleep half an hour ago after a marathon on the chat rooms, so I probably won't be able to open them until after 10am :(

1) What did you get in your stocking?

I got:

11 mini Mars bars
11 mini Milky Way bars
5 mini Snickers bars
7 mini packets of Maltesers
1 packet of chocolate coins

and in my mum's stocking:

bodyspray for MEN (:D)
Simpsons Slam Dunk card game
7 chocolate novelties
1 packet of chocolate coins
a pen

2) What presents did you get?

Well, here's what sits ominously under my tree, along with my predictions:

a very large, flat present, my brother has one also
- could be a very big selection box...

a round, not-so sturdy present
- could be a chocolate present :D

- two cards were wrapped up, for some reason , containing money, I hope :P

a present between me and my brother, after some shaken I think I figured it out
- a box of chocolates

a present in the shape of a selection box
- so I have come to the conclusion that it's a selection box :D

- Spiderman DVD

- Devil May Cry PS2 game

- Falling Down DVD

- Back To The Future DVD Box set :)

- Something, either a DVD or game, hopefully Renegade :D

After some groping, I found out:
- Battlefield 1942, Unreal Tournament 2003, Vice City and MoH: Allied Assault in the same box :D

Oh, and a tube of mini-eggs, or something like that.

This may just be my best christmas yet :D

Later guys, now I have to wait for my dad to get up :(

*laughs into fist*

Nice. Will add it to the site along with Mojojojojojojo's stuff when I get the chance. Now I am off to drink all day.
:-P

Ali, check your hotmail. :D I have my great news Spurs 3rd on. :D

But what are you gonna use most of that for? Games?
I'm happy with my network of machines. Got four hooked up at the moment, three PC's downstairs and my laptop in my room. I can lie in my bed on my laptop doing work, browsing web etc. That is the life.

I got:

An engagement Ring!

oh and some other stuff too

IMO u have been spoilt... one of those people that over spent this christmas when ppl are going in debt!

I got:-

- The Getaway (PS2)

- Auto Modellista (Most underated game of the yera- PS2)

- Dancing Stage Party mix. Erm.. well ok I see what you mean but it was quite funny when The Bloodhound gang was on and my Nan heared the bit 'Put your hands in my pants and you're bound to feel nuts'. Hilarity.

- GT-R Skyline Bit Char-G 3 Shell Pack (That's a mini RC car to you, but one imported from Japan. I fitted a new motor and this tiny 50p sized car can now get accross a room twice as fast as you can walk. :D)

- Half Scale Pool Table. Surprisingly just as good as a full size one. And it fits in the house with room to pull the cue back :D)

- Spurs 3rd Kit!

- CK Leather Wallet

- Some weird 'hidden marble' puzzle game. Dont ask.

- Spurs 2003 Calendar

- Some socks (naturally)

- Two Wine Sized bottles of Stella. Ho ho.

- Bucket of Maltesers.

- Some new gloves. :D

- A Signet ring engraved with my enitials.

- Oh, and not forgetting £120.

How much did the beast cost?

I only just got into MOHAA, and I cane!!! On my 56k I get minimal lag, but that's only because somebody else with a super-high ping is on the server. It's great; I once played a 3 hour match with the same 7 other guys on the Stalingrad level, and we all had sniper rifles and were sniping each other from the windows. Suffice to say, it was great, and I can now understand why some people just play 24/7.

But my PC is the best. Specs:

ASUS A7V333 Mobo
AMD Athlon XP2400
512MB DDR Ram
120GB 7200rpm HDD
128MB GeForce 4 Ti4600 <--Killer :D
52/24/52 CDRW
16x DVD-Rom
Floppy disk drive (yey!)
Creative 128 PCI Sound Card (5.1)
Hauppauge WinTV card (smells)
19" Iiyama Pro 452 CRT (flat screen, resolutions up to something like 2600x2000 or something ridiculous like that - I've tried :D)
Black ATX Tower with front USB and headphone sockets

It looks, and is, a beast. Better than your pathetic excuses for 'presents'. Mwahaha.

I thought I was going to, but they got me Spearhead instead. Still, can't complain, got some great loot and enough dosh to buy Vice City, so it works out well :D
