For the record, as someone who has worked retail for 6 Christmases, I pretter MattyRM's "feth You" greeting. It comes straight from the heart.

Having been there and done that in the past, I can't say I miss it!

Though, the shops are all closed on Christmas Day where you are, surely?

My family all decided to avoid the gaming stuff and just went for books and clothes. And an iPad, but what the hell am I going to do with an iPad?

Just a thought, but:

I understand that some other gaming companies have digital rules as well. As well as various means to acquire them. I've actually been thinking of getting a tablet to use for rules and such, since I just got a ton of expensive FW Rulebooks that I'd rather didn't get manhandled to death.

Plus whatever else it is that people use tablets for instead of real computers...

I do plan to transfer my vast wealth of ebooks and pdfs to the thing once I finally awaken it. It's just that I have no interest in owning one and have expressed that lack of interest. But my mom is really into Apple products, and my parents seem to think techie gadgets are something I should be into. The awkward expectations make me feel like a gay kid who got a pistol and a Texas belt buckle from his parents.

I guess I'll use the iPad, but probably not as they anticipated.


On a completely unrelated note, what is the footprint of a land raider?

I, too, received no games. Everyone else in my family got (and requested) them though. They skipped me somehow...I did get a new pair of skis and went bombing down Gore mountain today, just north of LKe George, NY! So not a loss. I also got gamestore cash to go buy summoner wars. Booyah!
