Title: Holiday Hauls
Post by: silversyx on December 23, 2016, 04:26:30 pm
I'm interested in seeing what everyone's favorite game they got during the holidays. (I thought about having everyone list everything, but I felt that people might compare their gifts to others so I thought it would be best if we just listed our favorite game).

Still two days until I can find out what I got!

Even though this will likely be a light XMAS compared to ones in the past, I'm expecting some awesomeness for sure. Will be posting Christmas morning what Santa and family got me :p

My family already celebrated on the 18th, my girlfriend found an NES classic for me. I was thrilled with it, my birthday is on the 2nd of January and I was able to get Hyper Force and Total Carnage on the Jaguar. Very happy with the stuff I got.

I can't post images but I ended up getting:


Megadimension Neptunia VII
Steins;Gate 0
Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
Corpse Party: Blood Drive
Zombie Army Trilogy
The Last Guardian


To me this was a surprisingly good Christmas of gifts in terms of games.

No games for me, so all my stuff went into the other collections thread lol I got some cash, so I'll probably save that to buy Resident Evil 7 next month.

My gaming-related stuff this year:

(http://oi64.tinypic.com/hvnsz8.jpg)

That letter is confirmation to a year's subscription to Retro Gamer Magazine. Which isn't cheap here in the states, since it's printed in the U.K. My wife is awesome!

And the RE: Outbreak, and Risen games were still sealed! (also courtesy of my wife)

Also thanks to karyann for the rest of the gaming stuff you see there!

A lot of my other stuff was non-gaming related: Metal CDs, cash, gift cards to various favorite restaurants, a die-cast replica of the Deloreon Time Machine from Back to the Future.

So it's been another Festival miracle at my residence. I got a ton of stuff this year, between two secret Santa events, and of course friends and family. Here is pretty much all the game stuff I got - lots of goodies!

I have to hand it to my wife.  Greatest woman in the world.  Right after Christmas, she surprised me with a late gift.  She found a still new/sealed original Xbox console along with a DVD Movie Playback Kit and two memory cards, all new/sealed! 

I also used a bit of my Christmas money to pick up the Gears of War 4 Amazon Exclusive Outsider edition with big honkin-ass statue for $76.99 (marked down from $249.99) as well as all five Gears of War collector's edition guides.  Picked up the original four guides for $40 total, all mint with a second copy of the first game's guide that was a little rough around the edges (five guides total there).  Then, GameStop was running a 50% off all strategy guides sale.  The $49.95 Gears 4 guide should have been $25, but they had apparently already marked it down previously so I spent $10 and a bit of change for it.  Nice deal!

Nice! So sweet of her!

Also, it's always nice to snag a sweet deal on those CE guides. I always hope to catch a few intact copies while I can of any items that have been removed from inventory (pennied out). Got a nice copy of the Yokai Watch guide that way!

 Sorry for the potato quality of this photo, the camera on my phone sucks and the lighting in my room sucks more.   :P

This is my Secret Santa haul from Rayne315. I got the game I was hoping for and the Uno cards are a nice addition since it's regularly played here. I don't eat mustard but I was happy that I got a local treat like that (I was his SS and sent him a can of our Cincinnati style chili). It surely won't go to waste as there are plenty of mustard connoisseurs around me who'll make short work of that jar.  ;)

Courtesy of deso aka Lady D, I got some great survival/horror games:

Siren
Ghosthunter
The Suffering

Courtesy of my handsome significant other, I got the deluxe edition of Final Fantasy XV.

Finally, courtesy of left over Christmas money, I got:

The Adventures of Cookie and Cream
Red Ninja: End of Honor

Most of my funds went towards the cruise.

Haha, that's awesome. I think they did some really interesting story for most of the main characters, so I'm sure that would've been something really fun to write.
