Merry Xmas 2008 - what cool stuff did you score?

[noble savage]

For some reason I scored a lot of cash this year (Probably because I'm in college...) The only things I bought with it were:

Opeth - The Candlight Years
Borknagar - Empiricism
Meshuggah - Catch 33
Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe
Elder Scrolls 4 - Oblivion GotY edition for Xbox 360

I may pick up one more Xbox360 game since they are really cheap now.

 

[tinchman]

Blu-ray's of Band of Brother's, The Dark Knight, and The Shawshank Redemption. Plus some cash.

 

[Burnout]

Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall
Clerks
No Country for Old Men
Juno
Supernatural Season 1
A 500GB external hard drive
Cash

Seymour Duncan Jazz neck and Invader bridge...to replace the lame Dimarzios in my Wasburn A-20. Thanks, bro!

 

[J-Dubya 777]

sports underwear made of woven bamboo

Ouch! That's worse than coal in your stocking! :zombie:

What are these called? Panda pants?


(I never new bamboo was used in clothing, much less under-clothing...)

I thought you liked the DiMarzios? Didn't you add them after the purchase?
I really like the JB & Vinatge Rails combo on my RG.

Hey, I had GH 3 for a couple of weeks (but lost it today). I am proud to say that I almost completed Muse - Knights of Cydonia on expert

haha nice

i have never owned it but i've played it at my friends houses since it came out and i was the guitar hero champ at my school LOL. i can beat every song on expert, i just beat through the fire and flames to but real guitar is way better thats for sure

wait, is that Loomis wearing a Nevermore shirt? Talk about narcissism

 

[proulxski]

Happy holidays everyone, and yes you'd better learn to play

Uhm I got...

A Watch
Some clothing (a few shirts, some jeans, socks, boxers, hoodies)
Guns N' Roses: Chinese Democracy
Metallica: Death Magnetic
Disturbed: Indestructible
Metalocalypse: Dethklok The Dethalbum

other than that I got a few little things, and Prince of Persia for the 360 \m/

 

[Phanto]

I got what I wanted - a pair of slippers, money and some fine scotch.

 

[SilentRealm]

You better learn to play Charis!

yeah ive started learning

i'm also considering paying for proper lessons. I'll see if my friend Mark will do it, as he is an awesome guitarist (he is from Alarum) and he is a guitar teacher already also, and after me, he is probably the person most excited about the fact that I finally got a guitar haha. oh and he is a lefty also.

Sounds like everyone did well this year!

Is there really anything more to life than slippers, money and booze?

Gamestop had a buy 2 used - get one free on games so I bought Mass Effect and Lost Planet (My brother bought some other game that I don't remember the name of.) I'm starting to love Xbox 360 (Over the Wii that I bought and no longer play, except for Resident Evil 4.) now because a lot of the games are under $15.00.

 

[proulxski]

Mass Effect is epic dude \m/

That's crazy. I could complete a couple of easier songs on expert (Sunshine of Your Love or Paranoid for example are ridiculously easy on any difficulty), but some solos are just freaky shit.

After spending some time with them, they are very boring and don't split well at all. Nah...they were stock.

Love the Invader bridge...

So you've never seen someone wearing one of their own bandshirts before?
