I received some wonderful stuff - a weird game from friends that had my in-laws and us laughing out loud all evening, different clothes from the in-laws and Rita, and a whopping gift card for a deli in Stuttgart. That last one is a real problem, as we very rarely go there..... PARENTS!!!!!

No Saint Nicholas for me, nor Santa. But at the in-law's, we played a silly present game. I got off with a yellow tweety tie and different totally useless stuff, different almost useless stuff, different barely useful stuff and different hardly useful stuff

The proper English word for verschieden (here) is various, not different. Funny to see, as form Dutch to English, the same mistake can be made.

I got Company of Heroes: Opposing fronts (an addition to the vanilla COH I got for free with my video card, a good reason to buy a new video card btw) which I'm very happy with. I also got a ton of crap plus some stuff that's lying around until I'm done with COH:OF, like some comics and a mexican cookbook (in dutch).

I still didn't get The Dilbert Principle, which I'm asking for for three years now. I'm aspiring a management job

Also, no marshmellow gun. No chocolate letter either, although I did get one from work.

I think I'm gonna blow my wal mart gift cards on CoH. Never played it before but my brother has been recommending it. Plus I'm growing bored of Civ 4 SP. I end up cheating every time anyways.

I kind of wanted to get CoH as well, but everytime I buy a real-time strategy game, I regret it. I may hold out and buy Sins of a Solar Empire (space RTS that is supposed to be much slower than normal), but I'm not sure.

I don't really like RTS games, all games seem like "build a lot of troops and rush". COH has that aspect, but you can't build a lot of troops. The game is more about unit micromanagement than other RTS games. The original should be very cheap by now, should be worth the money. Or buy an MSI graphics card

mauer · 01-01-2008, 20:20

Actually, after doing a bit more looking around, I think I'm gonna go with Call of Duty 4.

Shabbaman · 01-01-2008, 21:24

That's a completely different kind of game... and then I'd recommend Team Fortress 2. Really great!

mauer · 01-01-2008, 21:27

AAHHH, there's too many games out there....lol
Just got off the phone with my brother and now he's trying to talk me into World of Warcraft. Not really into those kinds of games though, plus there's a monthly fee.
