Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
Raiden III
Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA 2
Space Channel 5 Special Edition
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (light novel)
PS/2-to-USB adapters so that I can use regular peripherals with my netbook; these may become useless if I end up buying the zBoard I'm currently borrowing.
A MIDI-to-USB cable
A VGA-to-RCA/S-video adapter, so that I can connect my netbook to a television
A PS2 stand

I also bought Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ but later returned it. I may rebuy it at some point in the future.

Received as presents:
Wario Land 4
Pac-Man Collection
Chaos Field
Viewtiful Joe 2
Dance Dance Revolution X (with pad)
Guitar Hero: On Tour
TrackMania DS
Gahan Wilson's Monster Collection

A digital watch with world-time function

Also, the external hard drive enclosure that I've been using for months is officially mine as of today.

So, how's the holiday been going for you guys? My family finished presents and everything a few minutes ago. We'll be eating dinner with my grandfather later on. (For those interested, our traditional Christmas dinner is lasagna.)

Nice haul.  I already own the first Haruhi novel.  I'm going to buy the second one and read it before I go back up to college.  Oh, and before I forget...Merry Christmas TMK!
I always figured "Time to tip the scales" was Wario's everyday motto.

Anyone who refers to LEGO in plural form is undeserving of life.

I got a chance to help my dad finish construction in the kitchen and get yelled at for leaving part of the living room half-clean because I got distracted by my daily CvS2 playthrough.

Yeah, most of the gifts went towards my siblings. I received a sweater and the copy of Madworld I bought for 10 bucks gift wrapped while I was finishing up school.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Erasers shaped like sushi
Some candy

Years ago, my Christmas present list would've been as long as most of you guys', but for this year:

-$25 gift card (from my girlfriend's mom)
-Porsche 911 watch. Looks like a 911 tachometer featuring 24 hour time, tachymetre; the works (from my dad)
-Rocktron Banshee talkbox (from my dad)

Still want:

-USB/MIDI cable adapters (so I don't have to crappily record music with a not-so-sensitive microphone)
-A life (because I need one)
Formerly quite reasonable.
