Picked up a few things with my return, while putting the rest towards bills...
- More boardgames! Labyrinth: The War on Terror, Ticket to Ride: Europa + 1912 expansion, and Carcassonne Traders/Builders expansion. I'd like to say I'm almost done with my boardgame investments for awhile. But I'm still looking at a few more things. . .
- Senjou no Valkyria 3: The Unrecorded Chronicles (Valkyria Chronicles 3 in US) My little return to gaming after 2 weeks of...
- Battlestar Galactica. The Bluray complete collection. After watching it in full, I just had to get the set. It's a series I'm a bit sad that I missed while it was still airing, but at the same time, it was nice to watch it in succession. Also watched Caprica right after to keep feeding that BSG fix. What can I say? I absolutely loved it and looking forward to anything BSG in the future.

Some new goodies!
Got these super cool RMZ Zero/Protoman figs while I was hanging out with a friend today. I didn't necessarily want them, but after actually getting them and looking at the box some more. Everything they had to offer was just downright awesome. Live on blue bomber!
After that, I stopped my a local board game store that my sister's BF has been telling me about and picked up Carcassonne to add to my ever growing collection of board games. Although I've only recently started getting into eurogames, it's just madness at the rate I've been going. Still trying to get games that are of mass appeal, but then you look at the bottom of that pile and you see Battlestar Galactica and Civilization... Which are titles I don't think I'll ever get my sister and similar to play. Haha. BSG got some super rave reviews though, and Civ scratches that itch for an epic board game in a theme that I enjoy. I actually sat down and went thru the manuals for both a few days ago. The BSG hype is warranted, while Civ seems loooooooooong XD
Finally, I just can't get over how soft, cute, and awesome this is:
Its Prinny Asagi! She turned out a lot smaller than I thought too, which probably contributes to the cute factor. I'll probably leave her on my desk like that too. So cute!

Got some great things this year and it was actually a pretty fun time on the actual day. Although my days are either quiet/relaxing/boring or jam packed long and fun days. I sort of need the former after the holiday madness that is retail. But still, Christmas day was enjoyable.
Now for the goodies!
A present to myself in a way, but also an advancement in my life. Contacts! Got them for snowboarding, but they're also very useful for work. So I'll be mainly wearing them @ work and other recreational purposes. Otherwise I'm still wearing glasses around the clock. I would never give those up! Amusing bit though, looks like I can pull off the no glasses look pretty well. (It's only been nearly a decade since I started wearing them) Only my coworkers got caught off guard at first glance.
And another present to myself, although this one isn't in any way practical. It's the 3rd Birthday, the 3rd title in the Parasite Eve series. Although it's nothing like a PE title, it's still pretty awesome. Not to mention there's the new feature with Aya's clothing... haha. The game's slipcover is also very shiny with a foil cover.
A beanie! Something I asked for and I absolutely love the color scheme.
Black Onyx Leatherman Wave Multitool. The thing I wanted the most on my list and also something extremely practical. 17 tools in a high quality stainless steel build. It hasn't been put to great use yet, but I know it'll be a lifesaver in times to come. I plan to carry with me at all times. Thanks to my sister and her BF!
Oh and not pictured here is also a Kinect for the 360, another gift from the above awesome duo.
Seasons 1 for Modern Family and Glee on Bluray. The best new comedies of 2009/2010! Modern Family is actually great to have around and is one of those shows that's good toss in during dinner or something. And it was from someone I totally didn't expect it from. A good friend that's currently teaching overseas in Korea. Talk about your surprises!
Also speaking of surprises, Glee S1 wasn't actually something on my list this year. But as my other friend put it: "I came back to this summary of like/dislikes of the last 8 episodes he saw and that's when I knew it was the thing to get him" Haha. I almost got it for myself too, but my sister kept insisting I shouldn't and just wait until after xmas. So in a way, I sort had an idea, but it was still a very cool surprise.
Vanquish and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow for the PS3. Again I got another surprise in the form of Vanquish. It was something that wasn't on my list, and I guess my friend was paying attention pretty closely on my interests this year. On the other hand, Castlevania was something I wanted. But still, I'm glad I finally get to check it out.
Thank you to all honestly! 2 surprise gifts and great gifts in general. And not just that, I was able to enjoy a day full of great food and company. Played Glee Karaoke Revolution, Dance Central, Battle of the Sexes, Mahjong, and Loaded Questions. Seriously a fun day.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

I've finally given into to the recent popular madness that is Glee. And damn do I love it!
So much that I ended up impulse buying this. Well, I've been needing to get another Karaoke game for the year. But heck why not this? Love the music in Glee!
And currently my favorite mashup the series has done so far!
Singing in the rain/Umbrella Feat. Gwyneth Paltrow

Such a pretty game. :/ After my long time away from MMOs and refusing outright to play them for various reasons, I'm back at it. Damn open beta... I'll be playing retail FFXIV on the Lindblum server D:

Talk about your total 180s. Yakuza 3's box art was a joke. But this is totally badass and even better than the JP box. Fuck yeah Sega.
