[QUOTE=Zephyrs;43315693]Someone got me "Gamer Grub" as a stocking stuffer.
This shit is disgusting. Generally I like to have at least some food in my salt. All I can taste besides salt is food coloring.[/QUOTE]
I got some of the "Smores" variety. Basically just fake white chocolate, fake milk chocolate and fake graham cracker balls. I wouldn't buy it myself.
You all talking about random christmas gifts made me rethink what I got and realize how fucking weird one of them is. It's a fucking credit card sized torch with a picture of meerkats on it.

Baller as fuck.
I got a guitar and shoes and clothes woo
I got a new pair of headphones, shoes, a nerf gun, and misc bits and bobs.
My useful gift of the year turned out to be a 16gb MicroSD card, since my gb one is dying
I'm terrible at coming up with gift ideas apart from "money to add to my stuff-i-need-or-might-need money pile". Last 2 years have been some kind of flash storage :v:
Then again, i might get a book or two in 11 days
Just spent the day with my family and saw my brother in his new home. The last one he was in kept putting him in the hospital with pneumonia.
let's play how bloated can a driver possibly fucking be

I'm thinking about saving up for a GTX 780, however I probably won't be able to get one until February. Should I just wait for 800 series/Maxwell?

At work, we have a HP printer driver thats about 200mb large.
the 880 should be announced in march though?

Save up for the 780. When you can afford that, look to see if the 800 series are coming out within a month - if it's more than a month out, or hasn't been announced yet, get the 780.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;43316866]I think AMD wins this

to be fair, that driver works with pretty much every amd/ati card
[QUOTE=kaukassus;43316829]At work, we have a HP printer driver thats about 200mb large.[/QUOTE]
Isn't that every HP printer driver now though. It seems that every time i need drivers for any HP printer it's 150mb+
Choose the enterprise installers on the HP site, They are like 25MB Tops. Just doesn't include the bloated photo software.
Assuming you weren't a pleb and didn't buy a buy a consumer level HP printer.
since we're on the subject of Christmas gifts, i got two interesting things
The first is this pirate themed card game. On the surface it looks kinda bad (and the "ages 9+" on the box doesn't help) but once you read the rule sheet it's actually kind of interesting - it's a ten hand game, and you win the hand by getting the exact number of tricks you said you'd win that hand (no less, and no more either).
The other is this speaker for phones and iPods and things. Here's the bit that impresses me though - no 3.5mm cable, no Bluetooth, nothing up my sleeve, still works if I just put my phone on top of it. No idea how the fuck.

The pirate game sounds like Liars Dice but with cards.

Downloads like in 1 minute.
And nvidias is 201 MB. at least 331.82 is for me.
The latest one when installed almost takes up 500 MB.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;43317374]Same thing with majority of nvidia drivers[/QUOTE]
Weren't Nvidia drivers like 300mb a year or two ago?
Get some cash for Christmas? Do something reasonable!

Nah, they just have a menu option to let you search for newer drivers (read: sends you to the AMD website).

I did the same thing. Just bought a copy of Starbound for myself and [url=http://www.facepunch.com/member.php?u=87587]my best friend[/url].
now I only have $10 :v: (I only had $40 to spend)

Too lazy to go to the bank.
Oh and I got a $15 Best Buy gift card for spending $100.

The demo was really unappealing and it's proven time and time again that games that everyone raves about tend to be just about "average."
