wow, the christmas greetings start earlier every year! *L* But at least i'm finally done with all my gift shopping and such except for some doll clothes for a cousin, and of course Angie's gift that i won't even be able to START until after the holidays. Sorry again, ang, but it's coming, i promise. *L*

Well, I'm tempted to torture you with my rendition of Mr Garrison's Merry ... er ... Christmas but of course I won't, I'm trying my best to uphold <I>some</I> sort of PG rating here as not to be kicked out on my ear. ;><P>Anyways, enjoy your Christmas everyone, Hanukka ... or as I'm tempted to partake in, Agnostica!

{twitches and pulls out a giant red squeaky toy mallet and proceeds to bash out the tune to 'Silent Night' on the heads of Arno and Dubble}<P>Ooops, sorry. Really sorry. Involuntary action brought on by hearing Christmas Carols sung off pitch don't you know?<P>{baps out 'Jingle Bells'}<P>Awfully sorry. ;>

[SpiritWolf]

Ooh, new guy! Have a can of "Beer Nuts"!<P>(Little does he know that I am an agent of the Negaverse and they will sap his energy with each bite -- or they could just be a can of normal beer nuts)<P>There's my quota of incredibly sad tie-ins completed.

[Duncan]

Better late than never...<P>I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas with your friends and/or family and lots of nice presents! (<I>*looks at the large New York City panorama photo calendar on his wall which he got from his sister*</I>)
We had the first white Christmas here since at least 15 years! <B>Yay!!</B> <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">
This is what I got for x-mas:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>The above mentioned calendar (really cool)
<LI>The new U2 CD "all that you can't leave behind"
<LI>Some clothes (can't do without on x-mas <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/wink.gif">)
<LI>Chocolate and candy (dito)
<LI>a new electric razor (it was really time to get rid of my G2K beard)
<LI>this and that
<LI>wonderful snow all around
<LI>nevertheless a save trip to my family and back by car
</UL>
So altogether this was a really nice x-mas for me this year. How was yours?

[SpiritWolf]

Mine was particularly groovy. Mom came over to visit and that means so did her boyfriend, who's almost my equal in gaming skill ... which is nice.<P>I got a DreamCast and games. One being Sword of the Beserk which is frankly so sick it makes HR Geiger stuff look like a happy little tea party, the collective in it makes the Borg look like a bunch of pansies, it's probably going to give me nightmares (hee) but I can't put it down. The story is just too damned good, based off a Japanese novel and that.<P>Mostly though the high point of this is that soon enough I'll be able to get Grandia II and Skies of Arcadia, yay!

[Mel]

Mal> What's an optical mouse? Like a cordless one or something? <P>i got pajamas and a video and some socks and $35. worth of book gift certificates, and...

[Mel]

*blinks*
*blinks again*<P>Skies of Arcadia?!? What is that about? o.O<P>Uh, i played a round of bass fishing on my step brother's Dreamcast, does that count? <p>[This message has been edited by Mel (edited 12-28-2000).]

Mel> An optical mouse is a mouse that uses lasers instead of a mouse ball. You never have to clean out the little rollers because there isn't any and you can use it on any surface except glass.

[Dubble]

Mel>*L* That was my exact reaction whenI read that post...scary...<P>I've never been near a dreamcast. *L* I'm not even sure what one is. Aren't they just like Playstations but..not?

[SpiritWolf]

{starts laughing as he visualizes Malibu in a TNG luitenants uniform saying "I am an android."} So you have the position of general knowledge person then Mal ... or this boards' Data. ;><P>As for the Dreamcast, it's a final little console, graphically it's somewhere between the PlayStation and a top of the range PC. It's a very nice piece of hardware, mostly it's tried to be an 'arcade machine' instead of a console and thus not many RPGs have been released for it. Skies of Arcadia and Grandia II will be the first two and it's started out on the right foot because both of those games are flawless and I want them, badly! They're not out in the UK yet though so I have to wait {sulks}.

[Malibu]

Dubble> A Dreamcast is another video game system, but it's not "just like" the Playstation.<P>Anyway... If anyone cares, for Christmas I got a snazzy new leather laptop bag, an optical mouse, a book about Egypt I've been trying FOREVER to find *L*, A "Far Side" calender, food and other misc. stuff.

[Mel]

SW> please note i asked what Skies of Arcadia was about? *L* what's the plot, point, whatever? I'm curious.

[SpiritWolf]

Actually Skies is one of the biggest RPG sensations to ever grace a console, being the only non-linear RPG since Fallout. ;><P>Egads, it's been that long?<P>As for Final Fantasy VII, you never had that before now? Nanaki rules, he's awesome! You'll come across him near the start of the game, nicknamed Red XIII. He's not as cool as Tiger of the Wind {murr} but still, he's pretty damned groovy.

[Dubble]

Mal>Ahh. Okee. Thanks..<P>We're all listing what we got?<P>Well if anyone cares I got a Rubik's cube, a tin whistle, a fuzzy animals calendar, a german dictionary, a black top, a pen set and some chocolate. Oooh and scrunchies! ....and everyone told me I was a nightmare to shop for...<P>And I envy anyone who got books <P>Angie>*snickers* Silly.
