Christmas time, mistletoe and wine. Apparently. We much prefer the presents, to be honest (though some of those are wine), so that’s what we’re discussing today. Well, we’re declaring what we’ve been given for Christmas, anyway, so go ahead and make your comments, tell us what you’ve got, and we can ‘discuss’ who has the most fruitful Christmas day.

Alright, so this isn’t really much of a discussion, but it’s nice to see who’s got the best games/presents. Remember though: If your Nan gives you something that isn’t a game or, worse, is Avatar: The Game, don’t be too angry, she can’t help it. Just smile and nod along, then tell us so we can all laugh at you.

  1. So far I’ve got some money from German relatives (bout £100) and book one of Preacher (graphic novel) but not doing main presents till about 2 so I’ll be back after then to tell you all about it.


  2. Money, 2 dvds and NFS:Shift. I’m happy :)


  3. I got Buzz: Quiz World!
    Delighted!


    • You should be it’s really good fun, I actually bought my Ps3 and Buzz all the way to my mums for Xmas day to play this with the family only to have my step dad freaking out about plugging it into is tempremental Bose system in case it broke it! What a dick!!!


  4. I got a new bike (pedal) as my old one was falling to bits and its the only way I can get to work. Some jeans, shoes and a blu-ray of Transformers:ROF. I didnt get a single game this year (although going round my cousins tomorrow and she might have bought me one).

    Nothing exciting but all things I needed (apart from the blu-ray), I guess I’m getting too old for the good presents now.

    Looking forward to Christmas dinner now.


  5. I got modern warfare 2 and uncharted 2, also books and blu rays! Win


    • Me too.


  6. I got Borderlands, Dragonage and a freakin’ tomtom!! Ecstatic atm!!! :P
    Also Ice Age 3 :)


  7. The Mighty Boosh box set, Assassin’s Creed II and Battlefield: Bad Company!


    • the same as me!


  8. A handful of random presents and a copy of inFamous (which is a top choice for me as I’d been thinking about picking it up in the New Year). To be fair, the nicest thing today are the cooking smells coming from the kitchen. *salivates* ;)


  9. I got a new laptop, money, a few games (including Eyepet) some food, some clothes, some deodrants and bits like that and some DVD’s plus other odd and ends.


  10. Well ive been lucky this year, ive recieved a small island in the south pacific, a harem of beautiful women, the keys to fort knox and a playstation 4 (prototype via ken himself)

    *wakes up from pissed stupor*

    Yeah just some sodding socks, pants and a god awful jumper from me nan…oh and a electric shaver from me bro….bag of shite.


  11. Borderlands and CDs/dosh … think I will put the cash towards Dragon Age!


  12. Gaming wise just got The Saboteur which I can’t wait to play! Got some other cool stuff including a few Blu rays as well!


  13. A TurtleBeach headset which has some lovely 3D sound.

    And money, plus a £20 GAME voucher >.< Going to go get Assassin's Creed II I think.


  14. Pacard Bell Laptop for me!

    Very pleased indeed.


  15. I get to choose which game I want… I just don’t know which one to pick!
    But, I did receive a nice new HDTV to replace my garbage SD. :)

    Merry Christmas everyone!
