Well, just to spice up a bit this forum I am opening this thread so we can comment what Santa brought to us during this holiday season...
Well, for myself... I always kept an eye on the Steam Holiday Sales to make some "quick presents"... thanks God the High Council (aka My Wife :neener
authorized the purchase of many good (and not so good, but cheap
:neener
games.
So, with the approval this was just too tempting...
I started buying games like
Tropico 3 or
Europa Universalis 3 Complete Edition... but I ended buying
Killing Floor for $2.49 (a whack-a-mole MP shooter full of zombies)...
Yeah... that bad... I think I finally bought around 10 games that I will probably never play more than a bunch of hours this year... but they cost me less than $5 each!!!
Anyway, to compensate for the charges on the Visa account... "Santa" had to buy a nice and beautifull ring for my wife...

Your Santa Claus looks more like a "Steam Claus"...
I can't post anything still.
Here in Spain the gifts come on January 6 and are the "Three wise men" ("Reyes Magos") the ones which bring them...( and its a national holiday...hehe! no work this Wednesday! :thumbsup
Well, in fact kids usually are lucky enough to get gifts both by Santa Claus and the "3 wise men"... but i'm not kid since loooong ago!
Cheers!

Well, here in Argentina, we inherited part of that from the Motherland
... we get presents too on January 6th.
Sadly, it is a common working day... why we didn't inherited that too???

Pre-ordered "Les Grognards" (Collectors box) and bought the book "Historic Atlas of The Napoleonic Era", by Angus Konstam. I wonder what could be the connection
Thinking of getting a Christmas "extension" and buying a new 22'' LCD monitor [SIZE="1"](and maybe a new graphics board...)[/size]. Still pending the approval of the Ministry of Domestic Finances, though...

Interesting as I had this book bookmarked on my eBay but SOMEONE bought it before I did
I got a lot of sweets, new warm winter slippers, two concert tickets, a box of Mozart kügel, a documentary about Bermuda triangle, a bottle of Chinese plum liqueur and some underwear from my girlfriend
No new games for me as I still have to play all my AGEOD games and Empire: Total War. And there are at least two games coming soon that I MUST have

I think my wife is trying to tell me something with this... but i'm not sure what
Cheers!

Which is precisely what "Gain" means
gain: vt

New year, old tagwyn
