Merry belated Christmas everyone!
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I haven’t posted in a few days. This will actually be my last post of the year too. I’ve completed up 2/3 of my Christmas vacationing thus far and will be wrapping up with a holiday visit to see my two-and-a-half year old niece and 11 month old nephew for a few days this week.
Before heading out I just wanted to check in with the obligatory “what I got for Christmas” report. Got some pretty cool gaming/tech/entertainment goodies this year. As far as games go, Gears of War 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky and Top Spin 3 (PS3 version of course, not a complete tennis game without Nadal!) finally made their way into my gaming library. Also got a pair of Xbox boxers that came in a cool tin case in the shape of an Xbox 360 controller. This year I also put game soundtracks high on my wish list; pretty much any game, didn’t matter to me. Wound up getting some good ones, including Brothers In Arms: Hell’s Highway, Too Human, the Video Games Live: Volume One compilation, and a pair of Japanese import soundtracks from Square Enix for The World Ends With You and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates.
Other items I received included the 2-disc 24: Redemption DVD, the Animatrix-esque Batman: Gotham Knight two-disc special edition collection of six animated stories bridging Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, a nifty all-in-one docking station that I can neatly hook up and charge up to three portable devices (I’ve got my iPod, DS and cellphone on it right now), and some other knick-knacky stuff. All in all it was a great haul. Definitely more than I expected given the collapsing economy.
Now that you know what I got, I’d love to hear what Santa put under your tree this year. So tell me, what did you get for Christmas?
Bye for now, see you all in 2009!

My family knows better than to buy me video games! 😀
I got a Flip Video MinoHD, which is nice since I often want to grab quick clips but cannot manage to carry my bigger Sony digital video camera, and my wife is the better photog so she has a really nice digital SLR. Already put it to use …
Not too much else – but we’ve all been using the Wii Fit and Guitar Hero World Tour that we got for the kids!
