So who got what for Christmas?

My grandparents gave me $100 and my mom asked me what I needed in Japan, so I told her:

Anti-perspirant
3 Pink Floyd CDs
a Jimi Hendrix CD
Jethro Tull's Aqualung
and a DVD of "Strange Brew"

It arrived on Xmas eve, I set up the tree and watched Strange Brew. A great evening, even if alone.

 

Nah, I didnt even finish the name before this joker started laughing. I got as far as "Do you have Shin Megami..."

:lol:

I hate it when casual gamers like that moron laugh at people that actually know something about the subjects and assume them to be nerds.

There also was this one guy in High School that would make PATHETIC attempts to make me sound like a VG nerd. He kept saying "How do you beat the Dragon in Final Fantasy?" "Is Final Fantasy the best RPG ever?" And all his little retarded friends would join in and snicker. AWS might know who Im talking about.

 

I know exactly the type of thing that youre talking about People always pick out the most popular, fanboyish games that they can heh.

 

Keep in mind, its all they know.



Ah, sure feels good to be hardcore...

My parents helped me purchase a $1000 film camera setup earlier in Autumn. I worked off about $800 before I quit my job due to grades. For this reason, I didn't actually expect anything for them. I was thankful that they let me buy the camera early thanks to Pay It Later. :nod:

Two shirts from brothers. One novelty tee from one bro, one long sleeve from the other.
Black Dickies sweater from long sleeve brother.
Adidas toilet water from sister. Makes me smell like mans.

You can take the man out of England but you can't take the England out of the man!

Shouldn't you be drinking green tea?

 

Do you mean piss water? no way ! "Original" Japanese food and drink is so bland and green tea or Ocha is no different. In summer I drink Olongcha (Chinese tea) or Ice Cocha (normal British Ice Tea).

Fucking unbelievable, i can get a parcel sent by Joe Blow from England in 3-4 days, but the biggest e-tailer in the world is unable to get my order to me in 4 weeks.
