[Hylander_1314]

Cherish those years when they're small, they go by too fast.

For christmas I got a nice photo book of my sister from my stepson's granmma. It was year ago today my son and I took her to the hospital only to find out at like 03:00 in the morning she was sick with cancer. After that she didn't go home. 2 weeks later it was all over. And she had just turned 42. Not too cheery for christmas anymore either.

[Task Force]

Lets see, what did I get.... I got the most expensive stuff early, a 28 inch monitor, and put a new motherboard, and processor. chocolate. statue of a trout (fiber optic), a new wallet. probably some stuff I left out.:yep:

GWX 3.0 Gold. :rotfl:

[breadcatcher101]

Well, Mrs. Breadcatcher and I decided not to exchange gifts this year but our cats got a can of tuna which they attacked without mercy.

I did make myself a didgeridoo which was a bittersweet experience. Having always like the sound of these I thought I would give it a go. Tuned to a D, not bad although I am stuck at circular breathing.

Perhaps I can learn to make whale sounds with this device during depth charge attacks to fool the escorts.

[TarJak]

Got a Saitek Cyborg Pro FF Joystick and a ticket to see Top Gear Arena in Feb.:up:

[stew278]

Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet, now I just need to find the time to learn how to use Photoshop

[XabbaRus]

Hey subman1 contras or not it is damn tricky. Got it out in a big garden today and once it is up in the air it is easier to fly than when it is close to the ground. Still managed to fly it into the side of the house.

No biggy. One skid strut got bust which epoxy should hold until I by a replacement and I lost a wheel off the skid.

replaced a chipped rotor and I'm good to go.

[A Very Super Market]

I got a rock and a nice Las Vegas trip.

[Neptunus Rex]

A movie, a book, and a NEXTAR GPS (plugger). And I got to play Wii Nerf Guns with my kids! I tried their Wii Aerosmith Guitar Hero, but I'm a spaz with that.

:rotfl:


Christmas is just another day for me apart from the celebration part of it. I had a few beers to many, gorged myself with food woke up next day with heartburn and a hangover. :roll:

[silentrunner]

an Acer 22 inch monitor

[SUBMAN1]

K! i just got my after Christmas present! I managed to snipe a set of very rare metal liquid cooled 5.75" upper midrange drivers out from under some stereo geezers nose! I blew one of mine out the other day pushing 1500 Watts or so through these things, and though these aren't the ideal replacement, they have the same internals and can be tamed with a simple -3db switch to the crossover.

This is the best Christmas present possible! I expected to pay 2x or more than I did, but my sniping abilities never gave the guy a chance to counter-bid!

boxing day...

copious amounts of beer and food...

I like the sound of it.

Why have we not celebrated that popularly here in the states?

[A Very Super Market]

Maybe because the store owners don't like mobs of crazed shoppers ripping each other to shreds.

Its the one time when Canadians will be *******s.

[Koondawg]

[SUBMAN1]

I've got to get my drivers back into my speakers. With the old drivers removed, the speakers are much lighter. Almost light enough for a woman to throw them off the deck with the help of a hand truck, and I need to prevent that! :D:D:D (I bought new drivers for Christmas).

It's background thingy telling about the different Chaos gods and who serve them, what kind of rewards they grant for their soldiers/beasts etc. etc. It also has section about the Undivided Chaos guys in the end. Really have read only few pages, but seems pretty good. :up:

Funny you havent seen it before, from what I've read, it's one of those "have to have" books when it comes to WH.

[Dowly]

@Wolfehunter

Here's what some who bought it had to say about it over at Blacklibrary.com:

The best book about the Chaos Gods and the second best book about Chaos in general after Tome of Corruption (WFRP). Extremely well narrated and very well thought. The author have succeed to present the nature and aspects of the Chaos Gods and their followers like never before. This is a classic for Warhammer.

------------------------------------------------------------

A truly epic tome, bringing together the four previously published volumes and including a previously un–published section pertaining to Chaos undivided, this is essential reading for any fan of the Warhammer world or the 40k universe. This book contains snippets from the original Slaves to Darkness, Lost and the Damned, a lot of the higher quality material that GW/BL has written on the subject of Chaos, and a pile of completely new stuff too. Packed with beautiful illustrations and superbly presented in the form of the mad rantings of a scribe driven insane by his task, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Possibly more interesting to people seeking knowledge of the Warhammer world, it is never the less a worthy purchase for any fan of the written word, all in all lovely book. Well done, Black Library.

------------------------------------------------------------

And here's a link to a youtube vid someone made of the pictures and drawins that are in the book:
