Merry Christmas to you all!

I got a lot more than I expected, only thing I kind of wish I got that I didn't was a T shirt and CD I asked for, but I'm happy I got anything at all, so I'm not complainin. :)

-Black DVDR drive (Supports all sorts of formats, got a 30 DVDR+ pack too)

-160gb HDD (Can starrt ripping more music, since my 120gb dedicated music HDD is full :) )

-3 blank colored T shirts and a soft long sleeve flannel

-2 Photoshop books (And a PS magazine with CD) and a book by Neil Peart called The Masked Rider I think

-Incense, candy and a stuffed monkey doll

-Dances with wolves on DVD :)

-Some expensive deodorant from Paris my dad used to get, I'd always play with it as a kid and rub it on his towels and make him mad, hahah. Smells real good.

I have some other stuff I haven't gotten yet, that's in the mail or lost or something. 3 XBox games, Gun Valkyrie, Metal Gear Solid 2 and Morrowind. Also I think my grandmother sent me some money, how nice of her. :)

Going to get a Chuck Palahniuk book (I know this because my mom called me from the store asking how to spell his name)

My dad sent me 200 dollars, which is going to go towards a 40gb ipod (I'm paying the other half)

I wait for Christmas Day to get most of my gifts...

But I got some gifts from my family:

Nalgene Bottle w/ Pocket Knives and things

American Eagle Clothes

Laptop Case for something special tomorrow :huh:

Chicago Cubs Ornament

I was able to open one present just now, i thought it was an IPod wrapped in something cushy cause there were batteries on the top of the package, i was so off. it was a fukin sweet Massage Pillow! lol

i has those microBeads in it so its super soft to lol... only 11 hours to go till i get to open da rest!

Oh, jeeze, bud- I know the feeling, my family was there not too long ago. Drop me a PM; if you don't mind second hand, I have a few moniters lying around I could gladly spare.

I got a new bottle of my favorite cologne (gap scent for men, it's OLD stuff, didn't think they still sold it), $100 towards an ipod mini (but i'm getting a xen micro - pink!!) and a nifty little clay statuette of Confuscious.

not a whole lot; it's a modest christmas, but i'm happy with it :)

Clothes... oh yeah, and clothes.

By the way, how does everyone else react when they open a Christmas present and see clothes that they'll never wear? Do you say, "Oh I like it, it looks great", or do you tell them the truth?

    • I know I won't ever be using it to make my game. I'd rather pay humans.
    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
