Avian Gamers Network

To start, people spoiled me yet again this year. I dunno what it is but my family tends to go fairly all out for gifts. Not in terms of oodles of $ spent, but lots of quality gifts.

This year I hauled in:
- 3 of the new WoW action figs.
- Mass Effect
- Guitar Hero 3 and extra controller on the 360
- some nice casual clothes (I didn't have many before as most wardrobe purchases were office business attire)

All in all, between gifts and spending nearly 2 full days with family/friends I had a most enjoyable xmas. Now to spend a full 2 weeks off work playing WoW and 360!!!

I was away for Christmas so I received everything a few weeks early.

im got a wii

merry christmas everyone(are you allowed to say that after christmas?)

My favorite gift this year was a 22" wide Samsung LCD for the computer. And now I've been forced to go through ALL of my games so I can "see what it looks like now!"

Went from a 19" generic LCD to this. It's like I've taken sunglasses off I didn't know I had on.

Phew, pretty good Christmas for me!

Picked up 'new' 50 inch TV for the living room

For Christmas I got...(and yes I'm behind the times in console times)

A 'new' PS2 with...
- Guitar Hero 2
(already smoked through the Medium level)
- Star Wars Lego
- FIFA Soccer
- Kingdom Hearts 1 (still havn't played it)

And for my ol' Game Cube..
- Legend of Zelda...Twilight Princess

Hell, if this were 5 years ago, my entertainment would be smokin!

Aw, congrats! Your comment about the sunglasses is very accurate - I still grin a little when I walk in my office and see my widescreen sitting there like a geek's centerfold come to life.

Where's CoD4 on that list???
RC cars sound quite fun I must admit.

I may take back FIFA and Oblivion and get CoD4. can't decide.

I have FIFA 07 on PC and would rather play Oblivion on PC I think.

Oblivion on the console is better... the movement is easier and smoother. I have the PC and XBox version and orefer the XBox version.

I got "The Witcher" and now need two more gig of memory so I can play it.

Against Alokorban's advice, I made the trade. Only because I have the option of get Oblivion on PC without paying for it.

I have CoD4.
