    Bought my mom a 20" flatscreen monitor at Best Buy on Black Friday. And some noise-cancelling headphones for my father-in-law from the last Woot Off. Other than that, no gadget giving this Christmas.

    Mostly just LEGO parts, modified LEGO parts, and aftermarket custom LEGO-compatible parts.

    My step dad and mom just got married over the summer. They make a really great couple. My mom has never been much for pictures, but my step dad loves taking pictures and framing them up, his walls are plastered. I also like to have a hint of my myself in every gift I give. I got him a 12" digital picture frame. I told my dad the idea for the gift and he said that that would be the perfect gift for him as well. Christmas was easy this year, hahaha.

    One sister got a eeePC, the other sister got a Nintendo DSi, and my kid brother got LEGO and Star Wars action figures.

    And no one buys me gadgets because they know whatever type it is, I probably have a very good model.

    I've given up on keeping up with game consoles since I have several already just collecting dust however the girlfriend wants a Wii.

    Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in...

    I was going to build my dad an HTPC, but they found it was too expensive. I was going to give him a copy of Windows 7 for the build.

    Magic Mice for everybody. I finally tried one the other day and was a little underwhelmed by the ergonomics, but screw it. Not my hands.

    I'm getting my dad a good power washer. My sister is getting an $800 PC rig for gaming. My best friend is getting a DSi and a 20 inch monitor. My mom is getting the shear relief of knowing that I can still afford a house payment....

    @Nathan Obbards: Oooo, that's an unfortunate story. I'm not really unbanned; this is a new account. I'll give you the quick rundown.
    - I comment on Kotaku for maybe the second or third time ever.
    - (Asinine) weekend editor apparently didn't appreciate my comment, which is as follows: "Jumper: Griffin's Story has extremely easy achievements that are worth 50 gp each, which explains why she bought it. I bet they put those in the game just to force someone (achievement whores) to buy it."
    This comment was pertaining to an article on Kotaku about some chick who had like 160 000 GP on Xbox Live, and unlike most of my other comments, actually contains facts *gasp*.
    - I get banned by said Kotaku weekend editor (Owen Good).
    - I attempt to appeal ban. I get told by nice Giz editors "Sorry, but we can't do much for you. Tough shit, but if you start a new account maybe you can reprove yourself.
    - Tada, here I am.

    @Duckspwn_Reborn: That's incredibly lame. It's why I tend not to comment on Diaz posts or, if I do, post exceptionally mundane things in them. I bet someone thought you were calling her an actual whore. Lame no matter how you slice it.
