I got money from various friends and family and I immediately went on Amazon and got myself a PSVR x Skyrim bundle! I was never really interested in Skyrim, but VR might just change my mind.

I didn't get anything really gaming related, but I got some stuff that people round here might care about (maybe?).
I got a couple of Dragonball Z model kits from my sister. Goku and SS Trunks. There's like a ton of different options on how you want to build them. Kinda like Nendos on steroids (In more ways than one, I suppose).

I got a Wacon Pro Pen that's compatible with my Intuos 4 Medium and Intuos Pro Special Edition Medium from me Ma. It joins the Classic and Grip pens that I already have. I really like the way it feels. I just like how each pen has a distinct "feel" to them.

Sorry, no pics now. Hopefully I'll feel better enough later tonight or tomorrow to take some and post them or more likely edit them in this post. Apparently another thing I got for Christmas was a herniated disc or something (I say "apparently" and "or something" because I haven't been to no doctor yet). It started hurting yesterday, but today was kind of a nightmare with all the moving around and walking around like an old Asian gramps sterotype (I'm only a middle-aged Asian dude, dammit!). My sister said it looked like I needed a cane (I guess one would've helped). All of sudden, after the long drive home thankfully I was able to stand up and walk straight for once for reasons I have no idea what are. My back is more sore now though, but thankfully it hasn't hurt anymore. Unfortunately, also when I got home all the parking spots right next to my apartment building were taken so I had to walk in my gifts in like... three or four trips while parking out by the next building.
I just now ordered a 4TB hard drive external to replace the one that died on me for my Xbox One X with giftcards I got too.

Merry Christmas! (Seriously though, Merry Christmas everybody!)

Man, I like that Switch case in post 111

The Surge[PS4], that's it. I've been told i should be getting something else in the mail though.


Are they the Figure Rise Standard ones? If so, be aware that there's no stand for the figure, so you can't pose them in all the cool ways that are on the box :/

Nothing.

Then again, I don't really need more games to a backlog. Time to finish the Frozen Wilds expansion for Horizon and Prey.

Yes, they are, and yeah... I noticed when I first opened the boxes. I'm okay with that though. I still think they're pretty cool.

Maybe I'll get a couple of these "action bases" later on.

I didn't get anything. Well, seeing how I picked up everything I wanted throughout the year and that I don't trust my wife to get me anything gaming specific. However, I did get the family gaming stuffs.

Daughter: New iPhone 7 and Miitopia.
Son: iPad Air 2 (So he stays off his sister's and she doesn't try to kill him), Lego City Undercover
Wife: LG G6, and a copy of Crash Bandicoot Remaster. She was looking at it since it released, figured it was time to get it. Can't wait to watch her die over and over and over.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I was hoping for a second Joycon, but ah well.

(I didn't get Zelda though it was on my list, which I'm somewhat glad for; I wound up buying a copy for $30 during Black Friday. I tucked it away to sell or give away in case I got a second copy of Christmas.)

i got myself the double fine games for a buck on iOS. I'm tempted to get assassins creed for $30.

My parents did amazingly. They got me a simpsons LEGO set, some new belts, Bluetooth earbuds, and some winter odds and ends (hat gloves etc)

Got my dog a new retractable leash as she broke her old one and isn't as much of a fan of the standard 6ft leash.

Got my girlf a Fitbit, the illustrated Harry Potter book, and this journal she really likes.

Not a bad year tbh

Gamingwise: my parents got me the Mario Amiibo from SMO, an eShop card, and a PSN card. The eShop card went to Graceful Explosion Machine and Oxenfree and the PSN card is waiting for the next week of sales.

e: ^ I want Simpsons Legos so bad!

Nothing.

I got a shelf for my basement from my parents with...some sweet green tea, brush for my vacuum robot which I already have on order myself and the shelf is too big for my basement so in the end nothing.

But a work colleague of mine gifted me a Nintendo GameBoy cup which is pretty awesome.

My son got a switch with Mario, Splatoon 2 and Minecraft Story Edition.

The only reason he didn't get Zelda is because I knew it would lead to me taking over.

Oh and my wife gave the $200 to pay off my preordered copy of Ni No Kuni 2 collector's edition

Oh, geez, and I forgot to snap a photo of the Peach Amiibo from Super Mario Odyssey.

...and I still have Assassin's Creed: Origins (XB1X) unplayed from my birthday last month. Plenty to keep me busy for a long while!

Gaming wise I got a nice selection of PS4 titles I've been looking forward to trying.
- Nier Automata
- Sonic Forces
- Hitman: The complete season

Outside of that, some nice whiskey and a couple of blurays, plus the obligatory socks. Nice little selection of stuff overall.

Merry Christmas all :)

Not really a gaming thing but I love it all the same!

My in-laws went down to Thailand for holiday earlier in the year and brought me back this awesome hand made wooden Spider-Man figure!

I truly love it and find it amazing... until I hear it's little wooden feet clicking down our hallway while we are in bed at night wondering why he's not longer on top of the fireplace...

Nothing this year, but I'll be heading out tomorrow to pick up Assassin's Creed Origins. Playing the new AC around this time is somewhat of a tradition, so that'll be good.

I got Persona 5 from my girlfriend. I haven't been this pleasantly surprised since I got a PS2 from my parents more than a decade ago.

As far as gaming related goes, my family pleasantly surprised me with a Neon Switch! I was just expecting PJs and some money, not a new game system! I also recieved Puyo Puyo Tetris and a set of glass screen protectors.

I also recieved extra cash which I'm planning to spend on Mario Odyssey, Sonic Mania, Stardew Valley, and maybe some other games on eshop and/or any of the PC marketplaces.

Only received Xenoblade Chronicles 2 this year, but I did acquire $150 in Amazon gift cards + 200 dollars in cash.

Planning to pre-order Monster Hunter World, Shadow of the Colossus, and Bayonetta 1+2 (Switch). Going to order Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy here in a bit as well..

Wondering if I should also order Yakuza 0 and Kiwami, so if anyone is reading this and would like to offer their thoughts on whether or not I should purchase these two games, it'd be appreciated.

Happy Holidays, everyone. :)

Switch is getting a lot of attention lately.

Please buy both Yakuza games. Both are amazing.

10/10 would beat up street punks again.

Gaming related, I got some awesome Mario socks!

ks02vlf206601.jpg


And a cool Zelda mug along with some fancy teas! The flavors I can remember are Angel Dream, BlackBerry Maple, Magnolia, some other flowers, and Earl Grey I think.

Can't wait to wear those socks this upcoming Sunday at church! :D

I got a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and a $20 eshop card. I'm now trying to decide what game I should buy with it.
