-Samsung Galaxy 3 phone (my old HTC phone is shitty, it keeps turning off by itself  >:(  )
-UVB reptile light bulb and fixture (for whitening yellowed plastic)

I got a mess of chocolate, some Pocky, a super cute bunny coin purse and a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD to replace the 120GB in my laptop.

I also got a little bit of money, which I am debating on if I should save it all or spend most of it. I did spend a little to buy myself a 32M RAM add-on for my Game Doctor SF7 so I can play larger games, but there are also a few 3DS and Vita games I would like  :)

Clothes and specialty foods

People find it hard to get me "cool stuff" like games, movies, gadgets/electronics... because I usually have it already lol

I got lots of Famicom games for Christmas! And my cousin got tons of PS4 games (and a PS4). I got an Xbone also. For my birthday which was only a few days earlier, I got a Retro Duo portable and Mario World for the Sufami. Does anyone know how to stop the carts from wiggling inside of the RDP?

Although I had the misfortune of being quite sick this holiday, I got some nice gifts  so I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Holey Moley that is a gifting bonanza Nightstar!!  You must have been beaming!   :-[

I got a whole bunch of awesome gifts - in addition to the MetalStorm my darling also got this wonderful trio:

^^^Some very nice games there!  I love the look of the Super Famicom game boxes, though because my nostalgia for that system is more limited, I don't really play SNES that much.

I received an Everdrive, though I need to get a memory card for it.  I think I will try to do that today, and then give that thing a go.  I also received a new computer from my parents, a really generous gift.  My old computer has seen such better days, but because I am not really a huge technology buff (I play Famicom, need I say more?) I kept putting off getting a new computer, and having to deal with the dreaded Windows 8.   :'( 

On top of that, my brother and I received a case of Weyerbacher beer to share, a variety pack of sorts.  That beer is quite expensive for a case, but it is made in small batches, and the quality is high (imo).  The styles in the pack include an IPA, a Belgian Triple, a Stoudt, and a Barleywine, all ranging at around 8 - 11% alcohol, so some strong beers right there.  My brother and I had learned about the brewery many years back when they were doing a tasting at our local beer shop, and then since it is semi-local to me (it is in the same state as I am, though up north quite a ways), we took a road trip up there to visit and sample.  A really good place to go, with really good beer.

Kind of a quiet holiday on the gaming front here. I got a gift card to my local game store, and got enough cash to buy myself an Everdrive N8 and the Adventures of Batman & Robin (SNES).

Yeah, despite feeling like crap (I'm still pretty sick by the way...) it was a fun day. Great additions to you as well, the condition looks flawless on those. Yoshi's Island is currently on my wanted list, actually. I still think Metal Storm would have to be your best get as of late.

I got a GoPro HERO 4 Black and some stuff to go with it, namely a Touch BacPac. Very excited to use it both in my photojournalism career and my own freelance work.

My friend also got me a sweet Pokemon GBC, exactly like the one pictured here (in very good condition)

I was really happy to get it. I've always wanted one of these and I'm thinking about putting a backlight in it.
