1 Xbox 360 controller

From DSrage:

From offline people:

Chrono Trigger DS
Puzzle Planet League (DS)
Digital picture frame
Wall*E
Road to Perdition
The Simpsons Season 11
Brewers long sleeve
Brewers t-shirt
shirts for work
some pants
chin-up bar

And also a super-cool James Bond pen. It works like a regular pen, but there's a small mic so that you can hit a secret button to record any audio directly into mp3. It will hold up to 10 hours of audio, plus, you can plug headphones into a port and it will double as an mp3 player. You can manage all the mp3s through a USB connection that's provided- also it's powered through USB trickle charging, never needs batteries.

All in all this was perhaps the greatest Christmas of all!

- Chrono Trigger DS
- Miscellaneous shirts
