Cool Christmas Presents?

[ALady]

I got a pretty sweet toaster.   ;D

The best "present" was that I was able to have a relaxing holiday for once; due to the icy weather, we didn't have to go to my brother's in-laws until Saturday, and were able to spend Christmas Day at home.  Hallelujah!

The new Super Mario Bros is pretty badass. Wii Sports Resort is great. Mario Cart is great.

Is it just SMBros, or is the newest one like SMBros 5?

This might be a dumb question, but is Mario Kart a game where you have to go thru the motions and all, or do you just hold the controller and play? Still confused if all games on the Wii are "active" and whatnot  ;D

The new Mario Bros is just insane. There the "classic" side scroll, there's crazy shit in there. It basically mashes SMB 1 & 3, Super Mario World for Super Nintendo, and Mario Galaxy into 1 game of supreme awesomeness. And it has the old skool sound effects.

Mario cart you have to use your controller like a steering wheel. You do not need one of the steering wheels, but it helps.

Wii Sports resort is definitly active. Long live the bowling on it.

SOLD!!  :o

I played it over the holidays and I found the 4 player coop mode to be fun if a little crazy.  I wished it let you walk through another player instead of bumping into them.  Damn 2D worlds.

Not as cool as Sass' present but I got a new, German made 10" chef's knife.  About as great and useful gift as I've ever gotten.

I got a chef's knife too, Ruckus!   :)  And some mini spatulas that are  pretty cool.
