some more help from my uncle for finding me a car .

A ton of baby toys

2 copies of Donkey Konga for Gina (it's all she asked for, I'm surprised she didn't end up with four)
1 copy of Metriod Prime 2: Echoes for me
1 copy of Half-Life 2: Collectors edition for lilazzkicker (which he can't install because it's on a DVD lol)
An awesome dragon/castle fountain thingy for me
20 bucks

And a partridge in a pear tree

Hmm, 2004 presents eh?

Oh well, why the hell not. Christmas is not a big deal with us, but for fun's sake we exchanged some presents anyway. I received two DVD's: The Hudsucker Proxy, and Lost in Translation. Both in my top 10 favourite movies, I think.

For my graduation (earlier this year), I am still to receive an authentic Japanese kaya-wood go board, with accompanying yuki stones and bowls. Really looking forward to that.

Hahaha, pwned! :D

I got a ton of movies because my list consisted of DVDs and GBA games, and no one in my family bought any GBA games because I wrote "Game Boy", not Game Boy ADVANCE.

Got some nice clothes.

The highlight is, my mother made quilts for all the grandchildren on the Montgomery side.  The center squares are denim from my grandfather's oft-worn overalls.  (He passed away last February after a short fight with cancer.)  My little sister's quilt also includes some of his shirts for other squares.

As a special token, my quilt is comprised of pieces of everyone else's, so I can take it with me back to California.

I didn't cry when I got it... but I have to admit, I did a bit typing this.

I'll order you some POM juice or a batch of pomegranites or something along those lines if you want Pho. :)

You fiend!! That was MY original idea!!

I appreciate the nice thoughts, I really do, but I couldn't ask that from either of you since I could not give anything of myself.  Besides, I do have a bottle of pom juice a friend picked up for me the other day, so I'm already set in that department. ;)

I WAS able to scrape together enough spare change (saved over a few years) to get the collector's edition Return of the King on the 14'th though, so I guess you could say that counts even though it wasn't really a "gift" per se?  I'm glad to see everyone else so far had a good Christmas!

It's the thought that counts, man. :slippy_thumb:
Even if it's something you find laying around the house.

I got my older brother a dvd drive and rome total war my sister in law a dvd my mom some candy. I recieved a trip to germany for christmas which in retrospect was kind of a ripoff since i was sick half the time and the trip mostly sucked. ill be glad to get back to the states.

I got a webley airpistol  from my father, and return of the king, and a jumper (which I needed) from my GF. I gave BAT money towards his new comp, that he is saving up for. (he asked me to keep it at the moment so he don't spend it)

I gave my mom a toilet seat with shells and plastic seahorses etc inside it, as shes just moved house to yorkshire.

to top it all off , you still haven't kicked my ass .

I also purchased Rome: Total War for my brother. The damn thing will not run on my computer though because I have "CD/DVD emulation software" installed, so I now have to find a way around that bullshit, because I'm sure as Hell not uninstalling whatever is causing it (probably Alcohol 120%). :shout:

EDIT: Yes, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines does indeed have the same retarded copy protection *sigh*. Does anyone know how to get around this on Bloodlines and Rome, without uninstalling my "CD /DVD emulation programs"?

I seem to remember someone else running into this problem recently with a different game, I think it might have even been Doom III.  It was caused by a CD or DVD copy/burning utility being present, and for the life of me I can't remember which one or who had the problem.  Cheap and pathetic copy protection scheme if you ask me.  Hopefully he'll see your post and have an answer.  :(

I looked into the developer's site and it can apparently be circumnavigated by merely unchecking the emulation tools themselves in the programs options. This is a slight hassle, but not nearly as bad as completely uninstalling. That's only the official fix anyway, I would assume there are less legit, yet better, ones.

Personally, this kind of thing really pisses me off. This is like if I tried to watch a movie and a screen came up saying "Oops, it looks like there's a RECORD button on your VCR... I guess you can't watch this." I have half a mind to actually pirate these games and then return the retail copies, just because of this crap  :D

Odd. Doom 3 installed just fine with me, and I do have CD/DVD emulation running. Weird.
