We all like presents, right? Post here what you unwrap! I opened one gift for Christmas Eve and I got Star Ocean: The Last Hope International. I've been playing all night. Hehe. I love it.

I doubt anyone has opened their goodies this early in the morning, 2am, but when you do share your experience!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Yeah, uh, nothing. But the perceived value of games and other immaterial goods sinks to a degree they wouldn't really matter either way when you have the whole internet at your disposal

Merry christmas to everyone from me as well, anyway! I hope you enjoy your deerdongos.

Well, it looks like I got:
A Western Digital 1TB USB3.0 HD
A 40lb Weight Vest
A fashionable T-shirt
and a bunch of empty jewel cases. Which What I had asked for was a CD wallet, but close enough counts I guess.
Anyway, Merry Christmas to you as well. And to all.

I didn't get much either.

Then again, I bought most of what I wanted anyway so it's not like people would know what to get for me. :rolleyes:

Thank god I don't have to go outside in this cold.

Please explain this. What is SNESHistory, or am I just missing an obvious joke?

I think it's some project related to bSNES, making a database of SNES games information.

Merry Christmas! The weekend started at the absolute motherfucking lowest point I have ever experienced for any weekend, let alone a goddamn holiday! I got fired at work! I wasn't expecting my boss to say, "Merry Christmas, [name omitted], your employment here is hereby terminated, empty your locker and return your vest."

I, then, went to my brother's house for celebrating with my immediate family where everyone kinda tried to cheer me up a bit. We had dinner and watched a few movies and did our gift exchange. I wound up getting a basket of dry food and a bottle of wine my sister made.

I woke up Saturday morning to head down to visit my girlfriend and her multitude of family gatherings. I went with the thought of being the unknown person that tagged along, but they treated me like I belonged among them. In total from my girlfriend and several of her family members, I got: A $25 Gamestop gift card, a $10 McDonald's gift card, a $10 Subway gift card, $5 cash, a $10 check, fuzzy socks, a pair of slippers, a necklace to match hers, a box of chocolate covered pretzels, and her copy of Persona 4. I feel like I made out like a bandit because I only gave her a measly $40 Gamestop gift card because I had no idea what she had/wanted. Mixed feelings, man. :/

After spending the night at her dad's place, we went to hang out with her uncle and cousin for a while before heading to my family's get together. After dinner and some catching up, we did our gift exchange there, everyone seemed to get what they wanted. My aunt got my name in the exchange and got me a t-shirt with several characters from the classic Mario series on it and the Sonic Collection for DS, pretty cool. My dad and stepmom also gave me the traditional Christmas ornament and a $25 Gamestop gift card, even better.

We then moved onto our traditional games like the left/right passing of random gifts to the reading of the Story of Santa, I got stuck between my grandpa and my aunt, who wound up fighting over a bottle of wine (also made by my sister), that after everything was settled, I wound up with. The we moved onto our other game that has everyone pick a number, then grab a gift from the pile, or snag one that someone that already had something. My sister got a coffee pot that she wanted, and I wound up with a couple movies (Evan Almighty and John Wayne's The Cowboys, also pretty awesome).

tl;dr My holiday weekend started out shittier than shitty, but ultimately ended up pretty fucking awesome!

For those keeping score, or for those who chose not to read, I netted:
Fired from my job
A bunch of food
2 bottles of wine
$50 Gamestop credit
$10 McDonald's credit
$10 Subway credit
$15 cash/check
Chocolate covered pretzels
Fuzzy socks
Slippers
A necklace
Persona 4
A Mario Bros t-shirt
Sonic Collection DS
2 movies

Ultimately. Feels good, man.

Wow, I suppose that's a textbook example of what they call a dick move.

Were you ever provided with a reason?

I worked at Lowe's, and they did give me the reason for termination, but I don't want to get into that.
