Hello and Merry Christmas to all of my fellow Escapists! I was looking back on my yuletide experiences and started to reminisce on gifts I have gotten from previous Christmases. My Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2, countless games, and more than a few lawn gnomes for my collection were all thought of foundly. However I also thought of the worst gift I have ever received...

That gift was a copy of a Playstation 2 game called "Lowrider". This game was terrible; graphics were bland, 3 activities in gameplay that were essintially minigames turned into a main game, and the soundtrack just was not my taste (Modern Rap). A dear group of family friends gave me this game and I do still have it to this day. I know they were trying and it is honestly the thought that counts (they did take notice that I enjoyed video games) but it is still a rubbish game.

I have found a use for this game though as it lets you make a custom design on a grid of spaces which has allowed me to get creative and make a few sprite like designs...

I have nothing more to say about that, so tell me my fellow Escapists, what is the worst gift you have ever received?





P.S. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, Holiday, Feast of Winter Veil, Xmas, Life Day, Alvistide, Decemberween, Xistlessnessmas, Hogswatch, and the rest!!!

Nothing but a note saying "merry christmas" from my lazy sister.
But I was young and to me the new nintendo wii from my mom made up for that (but she agreed that I should sell it now that i'm older for pc components like a core i7)

A small box of Jelly Bellies.

And I had to share it with my brother. Woo, five pieces of jelly beans and 3 of them taste like crap.

...to wind a piece of string around? Everybody wants a rock to wind a piece of string around!

OT: The worst I've ever gotten is repeats of presents. Like getting the same book several times. Last Christmas (2009) I got three of one book and two of another. At least I got to trade them in for other books! So yeah, I rarely ever get a "bad" gift.

Edit: Oh yeah, not to be a party-pooper, but the "I got a rock..." line was from 'A Charlie Brown Halloween'. I mean it still works, but yeah...

I got an expensive set of hair products for heat-straightened hair, with sparkle-spray and all. From a friend of my mom. I'm a guy. Also, I keep my hair very short, no longer than 5mm.

Yeeeeah, smells like a stressed-out mislabel =D

Was it a happy rock?



Hehe! :)

If I were to get that kind of rock, that's the one I'd like!
Now that picture just makes me think about an Apple product to rival the pet rock.

I think I've said it before in another post, but the worst gift I ever got was a joke gift. It was a Washington Capitals ball cap that my friend gave me (I'm a Pittsburgh Penguins fan). So I promptly scratched Ovechkin into the hat and burned it. That was actually before this season, so I may have cursed him X3 Here's to hoping *crosses fingers* XD

My father once gave me a magazine about pigs. I hate him so very much sometimes.
Well at least you could give to someone obsessed with pigs?

I guess there is a market for anything in these modern times...
