Arkham Horror: Dunwich Horror expansion (now I have them all!!!) DS (old style, my daughter got the DS Lite so I get her old DS) Pokemon Ranger for DS (a better game than I thought) $75 gift card to Circuit City (I would have preferred cash) My Name is Earl Season One DVD
I also got the cash to order a cracked laptop screen off of eBay because the back light on mine is bad but the one I'm buying is cracked but the back light is fine. I really only needed the ribbon cable for the back light/panel but the cable costs $85 by itself and I got the cracked screen with back light and cable for $30 with shipping included!!!
I had to replace the keyboard a few months back on this laptop and got a "slightly used" one off of eBay for under $20!
I think there may be big moneys being made on eBay by piecing out old laptops.

There just might be. Yesterday a friend asked me to look at their busted laptop. Only needed a new fan. A new fan that would fit in that old laptop is not easy to come by or install. Someone selling one on eBay can get a high price because they are competing with the price of a new laptop while only selling an insignificant part.

Oooh, you'll have to report back on how that one plays. I've been thinking of buying the expansion for some time now.
It adds several bits of awesome
1) When you reach 0 Stamina you get an injury card. 2) When you reach 0 Sanity you get an insanity card.
Injury cards are things such as "Broken Hand - you have one less hand to use, if you get this injury again you are devoured!"
There is a plethora of new cards for Arkham locations.
New elder gods and investigators.
You can download the rules in PDF from Fantasy Flight's website.
There are also "mission" cards where you have to do a few things for some benefit. A good example would be "Historical studies - go to Historical Society, Library and Science Building THEN collect 5 clues." My favorite is "Join the Winning Team" where you have to sacrifice a few ally cards and then you win the game!
Thanks, Steve. I may have to make a purchase soon. The fact that losing all your sanity/health actually has an ongoing cost is exactly what needed to be changed about the game. Early in the game it's too convenient to get killed in order to get an (almost) free trip across town, saving a couple of lost turns of travel.

Ah! The good old Scott plan. Never fails.
Hmm, I wonder what the Rym and Scott ally cards would do...
Merry Christmas! Got a new Lego set (Technics set come with linear actuators now...*drool*), a bunch of books, and a handsome pea coat, and Dragon Age. It's a good year.
Happy Christmas to everyone on the forums. I got a pretty huge gift. I got an iPhone 3GS which is pretty frickin amazing considering I had one of those shit pre-paid phones before!
With a new baby being placed in the room through the wall from mine, I got a pair of Sennheiser RS-120s which are probably the best sounding headphones I've had with the addition of being wireless, so I can use them to pretty much replace my speakers. My sister got me a copy of the original BBC Hitch-hiker's Guide which I'm watching now. She also got me a super powerful LED wind-up torch keyring which I might use as my main keyring but I'm a bit sketchy about whether the switch will hold up.
This year I got: A large mug filled with packets of hot cocoa. Two hats: 1 black and white fedora, one black drivers cap. $30 a copy of quicken home and business (yay!) A full metal alchemist pocket watch a dart board A towel (from grams) Guitar Hero DS A copy of Pocket Ref.
Also, my dad made a pretty awesome christmas card for me. It has anime in it, and I'll scan it up and post it for yall to see. Twas a good christmas.
