I'll start:

- A bunch of books by everyone's favorite wacky philosopher, Mr. Kierkegaard
- A small pocketwatch
- A 22-inch LCD monitor
- Some quantity of money not in excess of $200
- Cookies

By God, this monitor is almost the size of my ego!

New Computer
Mass Effect

That was it, understandably due to the major purchase that is a computer, but I think I win by a mile.

Edit: And House Season 3.

Played Mass Effect for like 7 hours straight last night, and stopped only because my mom had to get the house ready for guests. <3 it so far.

I think I win by a mile.

I got The Humor of Kierkegaard: An Anthology and, of course, cookies. I think I'm the clear winner here.

Rubiks Cube

A Christmas present designed to foster feelings of inadequacy. Perfect!

A revision.

Xbox 360 Go Pro Holiday edition (Comes with Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance, which is a pretty crap game.)
$80.00 total in gift cards to Futureshop. ($25.00, $25.00, $30.00)
$40.00 gift card to Walmart. (Didn't know Walmart offered those O_O)
$20.00 in real cash.
A new wallet.
Chocolates (Different kinds)
Live Free or Die Hard.
New Wallet.
New Shirts.
New Shorts.
New pair of jeans.
LOTS of new socks. (Which is good; I go through socks like crazy.)
A computer game called Scratches. (Point and click adventure, it was actually a pretty good game.)
A nice jacket. (Didn't fit, so it was taken back and swapped for a bigger one, haven't got it yet)

And a Christmas gift to myself: Mass Effect. (Wanted Halo 3, but Futureshop didn't have it in stock :( )

While I admittedly only played Halo 3 for about two hours with my brother, Mass Effect wins.

Granted, Halo 3's quality is supposedly in its online multiplayer.

Mass Effect is just badass. Actually, from my times playing them (Halo 3 - 2 hours or so, Mass Effect - Game time says 14h, but it's more, I've died a great deal of times), Mass Effect may have better combat. >_>

More like why isn't everyone getting Mass Effect. Lack of a 360 isn't an excuse.

Furthermore, I /thread'd this topic before, what point is there in bragging when I've already won the topic?

Pretty sure this is a moddable, if not bannable, offense. Need to check though. Ogor! Price check on aisle four!

I like it and all, but I find the combat kind of annoying.

Get to Virmire yet?

Virmire -> End of the Game is so ****ing epic.

I admit that for the majority of the game you don't feel overwhelmed/overimpressed, but it still manages to be awesome despite this, and Virmire may just be the greatest place I've been in a game in a long time.

Once you get to Virmire everything just becomes ridiculously epic.

Also, you say combat is annoying, what class did you pick? I hear a lot of people saying that classes like Vanguard can be annoying for first-playthroughs because you're stuck to Pistols and Shotguns, which don't become awesome until later on in the game. Apparently Soldier is just ridiculous to playthrough, because Assault Rifles pwn.

I wouldn't know though, played Infiltrator on my first (Paragon) run using Pistols, and now on a Vanguard run with Shotgun.

If I'm up for a third run it'll probably be Soldier, if only because it'll be on Insanity Difficulty.

For the life of me I can't figure out why there are so few topics here. Sure, we have only like 13 active users, but we're certainly capable of looking busier.

Of course then I realize I'm doing nothing to help so I should just shut up. >_>

Don't get me wrong, it's a good game, and I'm not that far, but. It's been hovering around "Good" so far.
I just completed Ferros. And going about the galaxy doing random missions. No idea what I've completed, currently watching TV.
[Spoiler for Mass Effect, click to show]

As for class, I just picked Soldier. Seemed the easiest for a beginner. My biggest irk is how crappy the Sniper Rifle is. That thing is almost impossible to aim; even crouched.

Have many points do you have in Sniper? Upgrades to Stability will help too.

I've seen claims that maxed out can get it to basically hold still but I never got it that far. I just dealt with the shaking.

And ah... Feros. My least favorite of the mission critical planets. Not to say it's bad, just my least favorite. Just beat it early morning/afternoon today on my Renegade file.

****ing Asari Slaves and their statis spam which lets all the Thorian Creepers gank me. =(

Seriously, statis is evil, at least it is here on Hardcore difficulty, where one Thorian acid spit can nearly one-shot you. Sure, you can't be harmed during statis, but no rules against them all running next to you to wait for it to end. And of course my biotics user's lift and throw are on cooldown, and Garrus... bless his heart, is unable to do anything for me... besides help my other ally block me from running away. =(

When I got to the part about the Thorian, and it's Thorian creepers... The whole thing screamed Halo. >_>

And. XD
If this is a glitch, it's AWESOME. Doing one planet, forgot the name, and driving around in the Mako, I decided to RAM a fucking Geth. So I did. NOW IT'S CORPSE IS STUCK TO THE MAKO AND HANGING OFF IT XD

Yeah, I think the corpse stick is a glitch, but yes, an awesome one.

And yeah, the Thorian was rather Gravemind-ish, I wouldn't compare it to the Overmind, because the Zerg had a fair bit of diversity. The Flood do too, but not nearly as much.
