Ooh, one of those wooden puzzles, Adri? I got one as well, except that you have to take it apart as well in the first place.
Also, I got several books, some hard candy, and an mp3 player, along with a pretty good-quality set of earbuds.

Probably someone went inactive on Omni (stopped programming and reading the forums) because he/she was obsessed with his/her gift.

I mean that every year, after getting their gifts, there are forum members that we never get to see again. :P
-
You might see me more, as the chair has hypnotic powers that make me get my computer and be lazy.
-
Hmm lets see Subway gift card x2, Taco bell gift card x1, and some stuff for the house.

I got $135, and I am happy with that
-
My sis got me a beer collection, and i love it! it has 10 different beers, each of them delightful and very tasty :)
-
I got $160 from a a family party.
Any ideas for what I should spend it on? :P
-
An nspire CX :D
Or maybe get your parents to match it and buy a hobby-grade RC! :D :D
-
I already have one
#drillminer :P
-
Then get that hobby grade RC (if your parents will match you on the price)
http://www.hobbytown.com has great selection ->radio control ->cars ->electric ->Ready to Run Trucks and Truggys is a good place to start (I might have the mapping wrong, don't blame me :P )
Look at the specs on the manufacturer's site to compare.
Traxxas and HPI are good
Losi and Associated are the best, but cost a ton of $$$
Don't buy a Helion (I made that mistake)
10th scale Short Course trucks are the best for on/off road fun!
STAY ON ELECTRIC!!! NITRO (gas powered) TRUCKS BREAK A TON
With $320 (parents matching), I'd get a traxxas slash brushed edition (~$260): http://www.hobbytown.com/Shop/-Slash-1/10-2WD-Racing-Truck-RTR-with-Battery/ and a fast charger that works with traxxas connectors (scout around on that one)
Edit: http://www.hobbytown.com/Shop/-Slash-RTR-with-2-4-Radio-7-cell-NIMH-Battery-Charger/ is a better slash due to the 2.4 GHz radio
-
I got the new Galaxy Player 5.8, with a 5.8 inches screen and Android 4.0 :w00t:
I can finally browse Omnimaga from anywhere :P
-

you probably don't even see that 19" anymore, it's covered in bigger inches :)
-
Did I already say that i got a stuffed tux?
And what else: tones of candy. As in tones
And two trips to six flags :D
-
Stuff your tux with dat candy!
-
it is a stuffed tux :P
You know, like a stuffed animal, so it is not possible, sorry :P
-
You can stuff a stuffed animal with candy :P
-
You can stuff a stuffed animal with candy :P
that'd be a terrible waste of candy!
-
You'd have to cut it open :P
And i don't wanne kill tux :P
-
So, anybody have any ideas of what I should spend my money on? :P
-
I got a portable keyboard(yamaha YPG-235) and a kindle paperwhite.
I also bought myself a MetroPCS Galaxy SIII. I'm trying to decide what ROM to put on it or whether to leave it as stock
-
portable keyboard? is it foldable or what?
-
It is light for a keyboard and is one of the lower quality ones. I don't know much else what the description of a portable keyboard is. It is pretty much a simple synthesizer I'll get pics later
-
Sounds interesting :D

Cool. You might want to put a non stock rom on your new phone. Most custom roms aren't as stable but they are usually a lot quicker. I've had custom roms on my phone for a while and I like it better than my parents' who kept the stock.
-
I'm learning to play it now
EDIT: @Nicco I like some of the features of stock like the auto-wifi finder, but I would also like Jelly Bean. I also am worried about this because I don't want to brick my $400 phone.

You know that a good brand CRT tv will beat an HD tv in quality any day. The tv my parents have (bought 10? years ago) is still the best quality I will ever see.
But hey HD tvs are great too because you can get a great size without all that weight. XD
And I got a psvita for christmas. :P
-
True, CRTs are still pretty great if you play mainly old video games (such as the N64 and below), otherwise, there's HDMI inputs so i can plug my laptop in :D

I was afraid of bricking my phone too. It usually isn't a problem though. Just read the directions word for word and read through a lot of forums about it. You just need to make sure that you know what you're doing before you do anything and if things do go bad and you do brick you can usually ask for help to get it unbricked except lots of android forums hate noobs for some reason. I have an account on XDA Developers but I never use it, probably for that reason because I'm somewhat of a noob and I'll just get hated on. :P

Usually you don't have to worry. Most phones have a key combination to reboot them in recovery mode (if not, you're screwed), if you flash it you can easily repair and backup your device.
-
Are there risks of the key being corrupted during such hacking attempt?
Also I'M glad we still have a CRT TV near our LCD one. My LCD TV doesn't display SNES and NES games properly, same for Wii Virtual Console games. Plenty of horizontal junk appears between every row of pixels. Apparently it has to do with lack of interlacing or something.

or you just download recovery software along with you ROM. that way you're wuite sure you can always restore it. I put a non-stock rom on my SE xperia X10 mini pro too, and it rocks! Roms are most of the time more efficient and fluent than stockROMS, since all the unnessescary crap is removed by the developers.

This picture was the best thing I got for christmas:

WOW, It's looking pretty amazing! :D
-
I finally got my new microphone in the mail yesterday. Listen to that nice quality: http://www.mediafire.com/?ur338bv7255v14q (http://www.mediafire.com/?ur338bv7255v14q)
-
Wow, that's a pretty nice microphone! :D What are you going to be using it for?
-
Yeah it sounds pretty good. WOuld definitively be good to record music instruments or for game reviews or something, since there would be barely any editing job needed (which often reduces the sound quality, especially noise reduction)
-

I'm gonna be using it for recording things, such as, singing, random things for youtube. I'm planning on overdubbing some cartoons for fun.

Maybe I could do some game reviews(or commentated walkthroughs). Hm...
-
Actually commented calculator games walkthrough (or Let's play vids) would be nice. Plus you could get them submitted to OmnimagaTV if you wanted them present on the unnoficial Omni chan
-
wow, dat is a epic idea DJ_O :P
-
I will probably install CM10.1 to try it out as soon as they release a flashable tar to get back to stock. I'll probably just end up at CM10 until 10.1 becomes stable.

I used CM on my Backflip a while back and used ParanoidAndroid which I believe is based off of CM on my SII(Which got stolen :( ). I love CM's customizations and feel most of the time
-
A $70 PC case, that's really all.
-
I think most people compare too much with others. Everyone should be glad with what (s)he got, because it is a sign someone thought about you, and found you worthy enoug to buy you a present. My present may "only" have cost about 15 bucks, but you don't hear me nagging :) I just mean that everyone should be glad with the possibilties of receiving a gift, since not everyone gets those.
-
That reminds me, I see sometimes pics of people on Twitter and Facebook being like, lol got an iPhone or something similarly expensive and I'm unhappy, then everyone is like, are you fucking kidding me?
-
Well I personally would be glad regardless of the gift, as I got a gift. But yeah I guess nowadays some people might rather get an Android phone that is cheaper, safer (battery) or something XD
-

No, the problem with most of those is that it isn't the version they wanted. They wanted an iPhone 5 and got a 4S, or wanted an iPad and got an iPhone etc.
-
Oh lol. I personally would be glad regardless, unless I asked for a specific version to be able to use some stuff not available in the previous one and I got the other one instead.
But yeah over here apparently now some people re-sell their gifts on Ebay and kijiji. I would personally feel bad for doing that knowing I might get caught lol.
Also regarding my TV issues, this is what I meant:
(http://img.removedfromgame.com/imgs/lsdtvfail.png)
This happens with every game except in 2-player mode in Sonic 2 and the menus in Secret of Mana. Usually the top of the screen is broken or there is lots of junk appearing all over the place, and some games are totally unplayable. >.<
-
Damn. Zelda looks pretty messed up.
-
Indeed, but depending of how things goes, sometimes it looks the same as Sonic 2 in 1 player mode, while Sonic looks as bad as Zelda. Some games seems to always remain particularly bad, though, like Wing Commander SNES, which is completely unplayable.
-
Damn. Zelda looks pretty messed up.
Just thought the same
And on sonic, is it supposed to be split screen?
-
Damn. Zelda looks pretty messed up.

Yes, it's the 2-player mode.
Also yeah it might be the TV because I assume it's different RF connectors and it does the same thing on different consoles. I never heard of Konka TV tho.
-
I tried both red/yellow/white cables and RF connections and both does the same thing. That TV probably lacks support for non-interlaced stuff and the 2-player mode in Sonic 2 probably only works due to its vertical resolution being twice higher and using interlacing.
I think Konka is made by Panasonic or something, but under a different brand name and cheaper to offer lower prices (bought the TV for $399 back when a normal 32 inch TV costed $800-1300).
