What were your favorite presents this holiday?

MattNJ · Dec 30, 2015

I got a Wii U for Christmas and Mario Kart 8 was included!!! I also got Super Mario Maker! I am thinking of using my Christmas money to buy Elder Scrolls Online for my PS4 or PC.

Chaosy · Dec 30, 2015

Mario Kart is awesome, but it's not worth buying a bad console for one game. (Most games do not get released on wii)

I got quite a few things, the one I value the most is the first book in the Mistborn trilogy, really good stuff. I got Assassin's Creed Syndicate as well but I felt that the game lost a bit of charm halfway through. Not a bad game but it was not as exceptionally amazing as it felt the first hour.

I got quite a few TV series as well. Sons of Anarchy all 7 seasons, Game of Thrones 4 seasons and Vikings 2 seasons.

I am curios, what makes Wii U a bad console, as compared to PS4 or Xbox One, other than the number of popular games released for each respective system?

I don't get presents anymore.

Treat yourself to something nice like a new CD or DVD, or a nice lunch or dinner out. When in doubt, be your own Santa!!!

You said it. Who wants a console that only gets a fifth of the games released?

Not to mention that the controls feel weird. Though that's highly subjective so it's not really a good argument but I think it quite the common opinion.

I am gonna get this thread closed for starting console wars!

presents

What are those?

The_Silent · Dec 30, 2015

Actually, If you're a PC player, the WII is the only console worth it, since it has the most exclusives. As sad as that may sound.

Anyway, not presents here either.

LordDz · Dec 30, 2015

A nice Nerf gun given by myself, a painting from my brother, a coffee machine from my parents.

Celaquil · Dec 30, 2015

I don't get presents anymore.

What kind of shit Christmas tradition is this? Presents shouldn't have an age-limit.

My two favourites was an HBO Nordica Pizza Maker (the one with a heating stone)
and a Deluxe Edition of Led Zeppelin's "House of the Holy": With two CDs, two EPs,
a limited edition print and a photo album.

That is kind of funny you mentioned Nerf guns, my family (my father, uncle, cousins, nephew , and I) and I had a Nerf gun fight after Christmas dinner! My nephew opened a Christmas present early and got a Nerf gun that fired four 25 dart clips!!!

I guess I should have satisfied my argument against Wii at the lack of game releases for Wii!!!

Me too

In addition, I've never received a single Christmas present in my entire life. I believe it's the same with my siblings and most of my friends.

We celebrate Christmas but we don't exchange or send gifts

Warseeker · Dec 30, 2015

We don't celebrate Christmas to be honest :

Ash · Dec 30, 2015

I got a drill.

What kind of drill did you get or receive? Can you think of, or did you plan, any projects where you will use your new drill this winter or spring?

A cordless electric drill. No projects in mind, I was just given a drill.

Gilles · Jan 1, 2016

Drills are awesome! I got a drill set last Christmas; one of the best presents ever.

My favorite this year was probably the game Telestrations.

Also my Marvel themed mugs. Those are dope.

You should build a bird house for the spring. You could also put it in your yard and upload pics of your bird house with the many species of birds that visit it to you blog, or even the Hive, if you want!

Rui · Jan 2, 2016

I received 3 presents and I liked all of them:

The Hobbit trilogy, including extras and the making-of,
"Medical practice according to Doctor House" (a book) and
"The History of Portugal, Volume I" (out of 16 or 17 volumes ).

KILLCIDE · Jan 3, 2016

An amazon gift card which I used to buy a computer tool kit :3 I'm already looking to upgrade parts in my computer just so I can use it.

I honestly wish I got a drill for Crimbo, desperately needed one for projects.

Roland · Jan 3, 2016

I got a set of Kinetic sand (5 Boxes) and 3 boxes of neodymium cube magnets thanks to adam my cousin from the us.

Wasabee · Jan 3, 2016

I got nothing. Isn't that great?

Are you planning on visiting Portugal or do you just have a general interest?

General interest + it's where I live. In May of 2015 some colleague mentioned Age of Empires and since I happen to have both AoE 1 and II, I installed them again and played through the campaigns (I have not played AoE III, though, which is the one with Portuguese civilization). That reignited my interest for history. So I asked an anthropologist I know what book was appropriate for someone who's generally interested in knowing the background story of the country and he mentioned Joaquim Veríssimo Serrão's collection. He disagrees on a few parts, but considers it canonical work regarding the subject. He also warned that we cannot forget our surroundings (Spain, Africa) and how they influence our history.
