Title: Christmas Presents!
Post by b0b on Dec 22^nd, 2006 at 11:08pm

Alright, guys, what'd you ask your friends/family/SO's/etc to get you for Christmas? Is there anything you're really hoping for?

How about your own shopping lists? Did you buy anything cool for your loved ones?

Well I got a few random things, but my christmas gifts are in short supply out here as most of my family doesn't live here :)

But....

My girlfriend Christine got me the entire Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original series on DVD. I was pretty freaking happy about that one :) I love old cartoons, and the Turtles are almost at the top of my list for cartoons at that :)

A strange gift I know, but one that kicks ass in my books. To be honest I don't even know where she found the damn things.....they are store bought....

Wow, that's awesome, Wes! Mere bought me an awesome TMNT book published in 1990, "Transdimensional Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." It's a roleplaying book (think Dungeons & Dragons) where you play a Ninja Turtle that warps through time. The cover was the best part - it showed the Ninja Turtles fighting a tyrannosaurus rex!

TMNT versus dinosaurs, whodathunkit?

I've got to say, anybody who would have actually played this game was even more hardcore than I am. A geek among geeks if you ask me! Still, it's a pretty cool (and rare) find.

This year's schwag:

A 120 GB WD Passport
A USB Hub
A mini wireless optical mouse
A spindle of DVD-Rs (for ripping MST3K episodes)
A protective sleeve for my iPod Nano
The new Jeremy Camp album, Beyond Measure
Some cash

It was very much a tech-oriented Christmas. No complaints here!
