Christmas - what did you GIVE?
« on: December 26, 2012, 07:49:47 am »
I volunteer at an orphanage, and the children wanted the chocolate balls with the little toys inside of them!  So I bought some for their Christmas gift.

Well, i guess not many of us could have given a nicer gift then you did, that's wonderful :o

i got my dad those bike handlebars, like these:


we only give a present to one person each, we write our names on a paper, put them in a jar and pick one, so that everyone gets a gift, and no useless cheap stuff is bought. this way you can buy one nice gift, and everyone is more happy than with 4 small things you only use for one day...

I ended up making some good use of Steams "send as gift" feature. With it, I got my brother Universe Sandbox and my dad Command and Conquer 4 :P

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Well, I gave my mom a record (ya know: vinyl), my dad a tee shirt (TARDIS on it), my sis an apron with a cheat sheet for cooking/baking on it, and my bro a reference set that I got for a buck at the local library's book sale.

I had some unused Steam keys for games I already have, so I gave them to my bro. Saints Row: The Third and Metro 2033, I guess he was pretty happy.

Remember the day the walrus started to fly...

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?
