Hi everybody!

I actually got everything I asked for this year!

- Assassin's Creed
- Uncharted 1 & 2
- A really warm pair of slippers
- Scribblenauts Unlimited

And then I got three surprises!
- A 1-cup coffeemaker (perfect, since I'll be living on my own soon!)
- A really warm (and VERY fuzz) fleece blanket with a cool wildlife design
- "The Darwin Awards" book, detailing the most gloriously stupid ways people have died (I know, how cheerful for Christmas!).

I would post pictures but I have to resize them first (I shot them in RAW by mistake... oi, what a tragicly process-eating file format!).

So yeah. Show us what you got!

Phaelax, pics or it didn't happen.


Also, I am loving my new graphics card more and more (guess it's my Christmas present to myself). Only got it at the weekend, so not really thrown a lot at it and have been cautious to do so because I haven't yet installed my 750w PSU and haven't yet got my additional cooling. However, it runs Battlefield 4 on ultra at 1080p beautifully, 50-60fps and it's pretty fun. I've not played war games since...well, Call of Duty 2, so I've been out of the loop, though I am aware of the rivalry and reputation they have. The game does feel a bit over the top, though, only in-so-much as an action movie is over the top and I don't think it quite qualifies as Michael Bay, though the starting mission has its share of explosions.
