The parts to build a USB controlled robot arm. That's me sorted for a few days. And Goldeneye for the Wii.

Now that's a cool present.


It's built now

My granddad bet me £10 that I couldn't build it in a day. I had to take that bet, and I won! Huzzah!

Most important thing I got was a replacement for my dead Blu Tooth Headset which is great timing because I really enjoyed playing LBP online with the VGC user Ameratsu, but stopped because my headset died but with a new one I should be all ready to play again with LBP2 comes out.

I was completely too spoiled this year. 250GB Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle was a nice gift :) Also pulled in 2 suits (jacket, tie, shirt, vest, socks, shoes, belt), McFarlane Halo Reach Warthog, Ghost, and 4 figures. A Brock Sampson action figure. Some MS Points, 2 Xbox 360 wireless controllers, an Xbox 360 controller charge station, a UNSC t-shirt, a Mountain Dew t-shirt, a Mario Bros t-shirt. McFarlane NFL Aaron Rodgers/Greg Jennings figurines. A Bioshock 2 Big Daddy w/ Little Sister & full size Splicer Mask. Some Mafia Wars points. And a trip to Washington DC for a week.

Sadly, karma will bite me in the ass for all this. I was particularly broke this year and baked cookies for folks and spent very little for loved ones; by far less than was spent on me.  I can only hope that next year I can help even the scales back out a bit! Anyways, merry Christmas everyone and enjoy all your loot! I can already say that Kinect = freakin awesome!



A shirt, A sweater, 130€, Dante's Inferno PS3, Inception Blu-Ray and a pretty nice book. 

It was a pretty good Christmas overall
