lots of clothes, two new ddr pads - my metal ones broke a few months ago, the new ones are foam but they work quite well actually, and a nice digital camera.

me sis has a pretty nice DDR pad also, but i'm awfull at it (standerd at best), and i got a cam'oo'ra also ( http://exilim.casio.com/ )in black, and 7.2 MP instead YAY!!

rtil · December 27, 2006 09:17 AM

mine is 10mp. i have no idea what to use it for, i'm not really a photographer. guess i better start taking more pictures of my life or something.

i play on standard as well, a little bit of heavy but hardly any. i'm on ultramix 1 for the xbox, i've gotten a couple A's on 7 steps on the renowned difficult tracks like paranoia survivor and la senorita virtual. it's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. i could play for hours straight.

This Christmas has been unlike any I've lived in the past. Of course that's mainly because I don't have my dad anymore to share it with, but I got some interesting pressies that you normally wouldn't find here in a humble rural community. Worse yet, in Australia. Strangely enough, I didn't get any clothes for once in my life, and this has been the first time in history where I didn't know what I was getting for pressies either. 0_o What I got this time around made up for nothing last year, I guess.

Anyhoo, during my bro's last flight to Russia, he got me these along his way through Japan. Lucky bugger.

And err yeah... there were other things, but those two were the highlights. XD

yeesh! expensive.
and busty.

Scotsman · December 30, 2006 10:42 PM

i got a nice watch and lots of gift certificates.

Ya, but when you consider how perfect it is to the anime, it ain't so bad. It's like buying a couple of games. =P

As for the busty chick, I reckon the best part about her is the face, but the boobs are still nice. XD

Quote from: Albrtd3With the rest I plan on buying a one year subscription to DA so I can sell some prints.

Technically, my Wacom Intuos 3 6x8 Tablet was an early christmas gift so was my dual core 4800 AMD computer.

First, I'd hold off on getting a print account unless you plan on doing the buying yourself. Remember that a one year sub won't give you that, for a print account is seperate to that... unless things have changed in the past year since I bought the darn thing. I just noticed that they've brought out some new Premium Sub Prints thing. I thought I actually had that, but now they have a 12 month payout period for that? Sounds like a scam to me.

In any case, steer clear from buying it. Kudos if you actually manage to sell something, but from my past experience and from knowing others that have it, it's a waste of money. Only artists that have 100k pageviews and beyond have even the slightest hope of making any money from it. And they're the fan's favourites.

As for the tablet? Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice...

that's what i've always thought about the print account. i mean, how many of you on DA have ever even wanted to buy a print in the first place? I know I never have. I imagine most people don't go to deviant art to spend money, and I wouldn't even imagine buying a print account unless I made the front page on a regular basis, and I never have.

the most ideal size. you'll love it. i've used it every day since i got it.

Everyone here has such awesome gifts...especially that busty doll of Rainiers. =(

My parents gave me a mind-blowing $1500...which I used to pay an equally mind-blowing school tuition. Higher education sucks. XD

That's right. The only reasons I reckon that might tempt a normal soul to get a print account would be on the lines of buying prints for friends, or using DA as a harbour for making quality prints that you wouldn't be able to obtain normally anywhere close. I cringe to think what it would take to get on the front page all the time too.

Quote from: ProjectAccordEveryone here has such awesome gifts...especially that busty doll of Rainiers. =(

Hehe, I should probably mention too that you can remove her upper garments for alternate display.

...

That aside, I've looked everywhere for any other quality 1/6 scale figures, and that ranks easily among the top 10. It's sad when the market is dominated by the school girl look, and younger undeveloped bodies. What's the go with that anyway?

Anyhoo, it's pretty sad when that's all you get to choose from, besides the massive flood of Gundam SEED, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Naruto, DBZ, and stuff from other popular shows, done to death. I'm still on the hunt for anything awesome from Soul Calibur. You'd think that since Bandai has now merged with Namco, we'd see some action in the toy department.

Relentless fanservice and souless tributes to Square/Enix video games.
