I got a Nintendo Wii U (Mario and Luigi bundle), Super Mario 3D World, and The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD. These gifts were from multiple people. There wasn't anything I wanted but Wii U goodness.
 I also bought a couple of eshop cards so I could buy some eshop games. I got NES Remix and Wii Sports Club (Golf and Bowling), plus some Virtual Console upgrades.I bought gifts for several others, too. Can't get goodies if you don't give goodies.

I got a surprising amount of things this year, since my family is hella poor, being in California and all. Never underestimate the resourcefulness of a mother, I suppose.
My brother and I both got matching, surprisingly comfortable long-sleeved shirts that we ended up wearing all damn day (it's been cold lately), and then mom surprised us with a gift by fulfilling a promise made so long ago both me and my brother forgot about it. We have the stuff to make our own TMNT mutagen ooze. I guess mom promised to make us some when we were both children. I'm 27 now, and my brother turned 26 only a couple weeks ago on the 9th, to put that in perspective. Nevertheless, it's a cool gift. But it went further. Between my mom, my aunts, and my brother, I got seven new games on Steam, with a DLC for one on the way. Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, RAGE, Doom 3: BFG Edition, Enslaved: Oddessy to the West Premium Edition, Saints Row: The Third, and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Earlier this month, mom had lamented being unable to surprise us with gifts anymore, 'cause digital distribution meant we'd have to buy our own games and such. So after a bit of thought, my brother and I set up a Steam account for her, and showed her how to buy games and store them in the Steam inventory to send as gifts, thus allowing her to surprise us with gifts once more. Of course, we had ulterior motives. Since she now had a Steam account, we got to surprise her for Christmas by getting her oldschool games she enjoyed playing before the internet was a thing. She certainly wasn't expecting to get Duke Nukem 1 and 2, and the Commander Keen anthology, that's for sure. Also, as luck would have it, my aunt Maggi also had a Steam account for some time (to play Mist) and I only learned of it yesterday, so at the last minute we got her some games she was interested in: Abe's Oddessy, Abe's Exoddus, and Portal 1 and 2. She had to pay for Portal 1 and 2 herself, as my brother and I were out of funds entirely after the two Abe games. First time our financial situation had ever allowed us to give our family gifts that weren't completely half-assed. All in all, a good Christmas to cap off an extremely lousy and depressing year.

Nothing too expensive this year since I don't need another computer and waiting on the PS4 to come out with some more games I want to play, mostly Japanese games... but I got the following as pictured above:
3 TB Western Digital My Cloud Network Attached Storage 4 TB Seagate HD (for backup and be hooked to the Mycloud) Playstation Vita TV Bundle HDMI to Component/VGA converter box (so I can record game footage with my Hauppauge HD PVR since I don't want to buy another capture card with an HDMI) Eneloop Rechargeable Batteries (for my Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse) Video Games: Vita: Hanayamata Yosakoi Live, Love Live School Idol Paradise Vol 2 Bibi, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica - The Battle Pentagram, Dekamori Senran Kagura (aka Senran Kagura Bin Appetit) 3DS: Super Smash Bros 3DS 2 CDs: Ore Twintail and Kyokai no Kanata OP CDs So yes, I'm going to be occupied video game wise while I find a job since I finished my Master's degree. Aside from that, the PSN was down due to a bunch of script kiddies doing a denial of service attack, so I spent most of my Christmas upgrading my fathers and my little sister's laptops. I upgrade my Dad's Asus Laptop with a Samsung Evo 840 120 GB and my sister's Late 2008 Macbook Pro with a Sandisk Extreme Pro 240 GB with a Data Doubler containing a 1 TB HD to replace the busted optical drive. They now only take 10-30 seconds to boot. I decided not to get one for myself since I have a 7200 RPM on mine and I am waiting for larger capacity professional SSD prices to go down so I can go SSD only. Here are the results
