CHRISTMAS!!!

Let's see. I had a pretty good Christmas this year.

SouthPark: The Hits Volume 1 (Has the episode when they bought ninja weapons, one of my most favorite episodes of Southpark, most favorite would have to be the World of Warcraft Episode.)
Harry Potter OoTP dvd
Guitar Hero 3 (Wii) PM sent ZN13
Super Paper Mario
80GB HDD for my Xbox (got earlier this month.)
R4 with 1GB and 2GB Kingston microsd cards, 2GB one is Japanese made so I can play Castlevania: POR on it with no lag.
Burnout 3:Takedown (Xbox)
Classic Controller for Wii (gonna return, because I accidently bought one before Christmas, and I am probably gonna get some Wii points for it.
Duo Game Carrying case for my DS (Nicely built, holds 6 games snuggly, and hold 1 DSL stylus.)
pack of 3 different colored DS lite styluses.
Mario Pajama bottoms
Avenged Sevenfolds newest album
Guitar Hero 3 Companion Pack music cd
and next time I go to Best buy or somewhere, I get to choose another CD.
and also a $50 Bestbuy gift card

My bro got Zelda gold DS lite with Phantom Hourglass.
Same game case as I got, and styluses.
The Simpsons movie
a new DVD player for his room (he screwed with the settings to much on his old one, and must has a set a TV resolution option and there is no way to fix it, even opened it up hoping to find a battery that saved the settings, but no dice.)
$50 Bestbuy gift card
and mabye a few other small things but I can remember.
Family gift this year, was a New Keyboard (The instrument, not he computer one all us geeks use pretty much everyday)

But my Friend had a WAY better christmas that I did, in terms of loot, combining both what my Friend and his brother got.

40GB PS3
Resistance Fall of Man
Rockband (Ps3)
Mass Effect
Call of Duty 4 (360) (Special or Collectors edition)
Metroid Prime 3
Mario Galaxy
a 19" LCD monitor
soon a new entertainment center for his room.
$200 in gift cards and cash

And no they are not spoiled in the least, they just have tons of relatives (3 sets of Grandparents, must be nice, I only have 1 grandparent still alive and that my Grandma from my mother's side)
and mabye a few other things I might have missed.

Yeah I went over to his house on Christmas spent the night, we played Rockband which was awsome, I only played the drums though, because I hate the feel of the guitar stum bar, drums are hard as hell though with the Bass pedal.

And then after we stopped playin' Rockband, we set up his My Playstation or whatever account, which took like a hour longer than it should have been. EVERY screenname we put in was rejected (Sony you guys are dicks) couldn't put, Jiggerwigger, Jiggs, Jiggerwig, Jigger, and a few others, but we finally got one that worked, Jiggs*** (those stars represent numbers, and I don't think he would appriciate me giving out his screename.)
We also updated his system firmware, god that took forever, the system had to reset itself like 3 times, I mean we sat there at one loading screen after hitting update system, and then after about 20-30min the system reset, then went to another loading screen, "Installing update" WTF?!?!? what is there to update? a huge ass eeprom? then reset itself again, ok finally done after about 50min of sitting around. We downloaded like 3 demos which also took forever, but luckly they were able to be downloaded in the background, so we played a little more Rockband, then listen to Avenged Seven fold, then after the download was complete, we went to Play the Demo of Burnout Paradise, then it goes to another Damned install screen. WTF, why is it installing, it's already on the damn hard drive what is there to install? bout 5-10min later its done, played it and we both awwed in amazment, the game was so F***ing sweet!! Spent about a hour or more fooling around, checking out how awsome the damage modeling (:lol: about 200 MPH into a wall, car crumpled like a can being crushed) and doing stunts.
My only pet peev with this game, starting races out at Red lights, I would rather have it NFS:Carbon style but thats just me.

Whew this was a long post, well at least for me it was, thank god I am using this USB keyboard instead of that Wii remote to type this. (Yeah Im on the Internet Channel)

Unfortuantly for me I don't have a USB keyboard. So I have to type with the Wii-Mote. About a month and a half back. My computer had a ram problem and and wouldn't stay conected to the internet long enough to do anything. So I had to use my Wii to get online. And type everything using the Wii-Mote. Talking about a pain in the wrist, litarally.

Yeah, I use my Wii's internet channel because mainly, I seem to get yelled at EVERY time i get on the computer, and if somthing is slow on the computer or won't opened up, I get blamed for download a virus or spyware and such, so I try to avoid getting on my home computer at all costs, though my Nintendo Wi-fi USB adaptor acts real screwed up with the Wii, like the adaptor will shut itself off randomly, or it will be turned on and the Wii won't connect unless I unplug it and plug it back in, but another bad thing about the adaptor besides having anything to do with the Wii, is when in Wiiconnect24, the Wii will connect every 5min or so and that causes the little wifi symbol in the toolbar by the clock to pop-up with a bubble saying somthing has connected to the wifi adaptor, and there is no way to turn off the notice, which will annoy my dad and he will right click and shut the Wi-fi adaptor off.

But even when he does that, I just go and turn it back on when he leaves the computer, but thats only when I want to connect to wi-fi

Mabye, we will get a wireless router once my dad gets a new computer, hopefully after he gets this nice paying job on the Airforce base

, plus the computer we have now is like at least 4 years old, but still is a decent computer by todays standards, P4 with HT tech, bout the most power hungry game I can run on it, are all the games in the OrangeBox.

Okay, well I spent my $300 (Well...kinda) and here's my updated list of stuff:

Xbox 360 Elite
Xbox 360 VGA Cable (I LOVE THIS CABLE! - Cheap way to get 1080p, use your Computer Monitor!)
Black Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit
12 Months of Xbox Live Gold
Halo 3
Orange Box
Gears of War
Oblivion
Burnout: Revenge
Forza 2 (Came with 360)
Marvel Ultimate Alliance (Came with 360)
XFX GeForce 8600 GT Graphics Card (512MB, GDDR2, 128 bit, PCI-E x16)
2 GB of Ram (2 sticks of 1GB)
Saved $52.47 in the bank for college or future spendings

This new graphics card and 3GB of ram allows me to run UT 3 Demo at full settings and 1280x1024 with V-Sync at over 60 FPS at all times. My old
graphics card and ram couldn't get any settings above 3 and it would crash and lag.

Simple, your family is smart and doesn't blow all their cash on you, they either save it or spend it on themselves!

Mine is not a iPOOP

! Mine is a perfectly nice, chepo, off brand MP3/Video Player player. Thats a tad bit Glitchy. (It keeps on losing the DRM data for some of my songs in it. Rendering the some of the songs unplayable.)
