So, what'd you get?

We hope that when you awoke today and made your bleary-eyed trip to the tree, you ended up unwrapping some of the fine, fine gadgets that we're always showing off. Sure, you're happy to be spending time with your family, and you're just enjoying the season of giving for it's totally non-commercial, traditional reasons -- but we'd like to know if you made out like a bandit or not. Tell us what you did (or didn't) get in the comments below, and one more time... enjoy those 50 kids freaking the hell out over getting a Wii.

When you're done, check out what people got excited about in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007.

I got a 2009 Porsche Cayenne, wait that's what I dreamed about never mind :-(

[Aguiluz Posted Dec 25th 2008 12:15PM]

My best gift ever:

"Self-Inflating Whoopee Cushion"

It's a Whoopee Cushion that makes a farting sound when someone sits on it and it magically re-inflates itself. I'm totally happy about it. XD

@ieye

Yeah, I got a 4gb iphone.

And on the trolling, if you're really somebody who likes to piss people off, is the reason you do it over the internet because if you did it in real life somebody would kick your ass, or that your just a lazy asshole?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 25th 2008 12:56PM]

I got 4 pairs of dress socks, $200 in gift certificates to Lord and Taylor, a Nokia 2600 (I already have an iphone so that piece of shit is going in my closet) , Fallout 3, and a blowjob.

Its only 12:55 so when I go to my parent's house and the rest of the family comes over, things should get better.

Fallout 3? Words of advice: Hold off completing the main quest as long as you can.

I got a 320 GB 64mb/s actual transfer hard drive, among other (mostly PS3 and clothes related) things, like a PS3 keypad and gift certificates.
But what I am most happy to have gotten was MY ACCEPTANCE LETTER TO MIT!!! That was an early one, though, on the 15th. I can't wait to go!

I screwed up a gift label and my mom gave a $15 Lego Star wars PS2 game to one of my cousins it wasn't suppossed to go to.

Seagate 1.5TB 7200rp/m 32MB cache SATA hard drive. Let the mass piracy begin. The sad thing is that my computers power supply doesn't have SATA power on it so I can't use it till tomorrow. but when I get it set up I'm giving away my old ass IDE hard drives.

[Arkenklo Posted Dec 26th 2008 8:14AM]

I'm not telling you what I got, but I posted a reply to the first post so that you will read my post before everyone's else.

"Helvetica Neue 25 Ultra Light! :D"

Damn, that's like getting an Atari, OK, an Atari that upgrades itself every time a new game system comes out, but still :)

Veer has some nice fresh typefaces… jus' sayin'

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 26th 2008 10:48PM]

I got a 2009 Honda Accord, bunch of games, a sennheiser wireless headset, sony cybershot H50, and cash

Not a bad year!!!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 27th 2008 3:25AM]

@ DBrim.

I concur. Except the only family I was able to spend Christmas with is my sister, and that's because she lives a block and a half away. Neither of us were able to make it back home to see the rest of the family.

In answer to the material things I got: Arrested Development all three seasons from that great amazon deal, a portable go set from yellow mountain imports, a nat geo book (actually picked that one out when my sister and I went to the warehouse sale at the armory and did our Christmas shopping for family), and then a few cards from relatives with a combined total of $75 in cash.

How about a switchblade?

Thought the Halo is a serious favorite, I settled for the more economical Ultratech...

I got a 42" 1080p TV that will only ever see use as my primary monitor to my htpc/gaming rig. I used to think my 17" was a decent sized primary monitor. 42" monitor is borderline too big.

I'll take it. After all, this be the season for giving.
