He's also the character that made his first debut in the Star Wars Christmas special

You know, it actually be pretty awesome if they did something, that could allow you to either get or Streetpass Santa...

It's just some special Mii Streetpasses. Still cool though~

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Classic Rock
32%
Country
12%
Outlaw Country
8%

That's the results I got to get Han Solo

What in the world did I pick for them to think I like country at all?

Edit:

Conscious Hip Hop
21%
Alternative Hip Hop
15%
Rap Rock
10%

I changed 1 band and THIS is the result I got. Mace Windew (However you spell it)

Such a drastic change for 1 band

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

Thread is the quietest I've seen in a while.

Larxene wishes you a merry Christmas.

[PsychoIncarnate]

Apparently picking Nirvana, Metallica, and Led Zeppelin means I like Hip Hop

Tried it again, got Mace again.

Reading on how Sakurai liked Phantom Menace....

.....I thought that was pretty frigging obvious by now?
He listed the movie (specifically Darth Maul's dual-lightsaber) as inspiration for Pit's dual-ended bladed bow back in Brawl in an issue of Nintendo Power.

I liked Phantom Menace too

I just don't think it's a good movie

But, I like a lot of movies I don't think are good movies

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

It is though...

The current title is a reference to The Night Before Christmas.

And my name is there...

Someone must have edited it after you said that

Spooky swamp sure is spooky.

 

[Shadowwolflink]

He's also the character that made his first debut in the Star Wars Christmas special

That depends on if you count scenes that were originally cut, he's in the deleted scene in 4 where Han talks to Jabba.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Merry Christmas y'all! Shame I have to work today (but I can live with 4 hours).

But I'm more proud of one coworker: she's been working there for 15 years and this is her first Christmas off.

 

[powerprotoman]

Merry christmas all hope you got what you wanted

Are you serious?

Wow. Props to her for being such a hard worker, but the first one? That would be the last thing I'd want

 

[ChikoLad]

Merry Chrastmas.

I just got headphones and some clothes so far.

The new headphones are great for listening to You Will Know Our Names.

 

[SuperMii3D]

Got Xenoblade X, Minecraft, and Yoshis Woolly World. Some speaker headphones and money. Good stuff.

Happy holidays to whatever you celebrate

R.i.p Smash 4 NX

Also since people are listing off what they got for Christmas:

Spoiler

Shovel Knight + Shovel Knight amiibo, SM series Mario, SM series Luigi, Ike amiibo and Super Mario Maker + Modern Mario amiibo.

Also got 2 books, 2 gift cards, Xbox Live Gold 1 Month, Avengers #0, bulk pack of 40 batteries, a new sensor bar and to top it all off...

A Samsung Galaxy S5.

 

[DoodleDuck97]

Merry Christmas Everyone
I got a few Wii U games (Still more to come through my own purchases)
But Shovel Knight's physical disc copy was them.
Other than the game being pretty fun I have to thank it for bringing back to a time were opening and playing games was fun.
You see I have a very large back-log to get through this next year. (Most being Wii U games)
But the game also had a manual. An actual manual talking about the game, the characters and much more.
IT brought me back to the times were I would enjoy reading the game's annual and not just playing the game.
It's good to see that Manuals are still a thing :')

 

[PushDustIn]

The title not being a Swamp Sensei Christmas reference is blasphemy.

I changed it yesterday
Here's the full poem.

Anyway, it's officially Swampmas for everyone, so I'll update it again.

Find out who your Star Wars match is.

I'm Finn. :X Indie rock.

 

[Deleted member]

Merry Christmas everybody
Well, I got a bunch of money for Christmas, since now it's pointless to try to buy games here anyways, I save up money for when I travel abroad

But I have something with me here
Warning: swearing

Spoiler

A Nuzlocke update
It's not an update of my Nuzlocke, it's an update of the one and only Pokemon: Hard-Mode, after almost two years since the last update
It probably doesn't mean much for any of you since I doubt you guys even read it but, oh well, it's here

 

[ShinyRegice]

So I have purchased an external drive for my Wii U in order to get more data space. The problem is, when I play with something using data from the eternal drive loading times now takes forever. I mean, last time I tried to load SSB Wii U after putting all my save and update data in the external drive (otherwise I have the disk version) it took the game more than three minutes to load. Super Mario Maker (which I have fully digital) also suffered from this - transformations with Mystery Mushroom costumes no being more impractical than ever.

For anyone who's wondering I'm using a 250GB hard drive of the Sonnics brand using a Y cable. I'm sure there could have been better options but I didn't want to spend too much more than one half of a hundred bucks for additional Wii U data storage. Does anyone have any advice to give me if I want to get loading times that don't take forever? Is there any way to improve my hard drive (maybe by changing the Y cable or something) or must I buy another data storage device better suited for fast loading times? For what it's worth I've heard that SSDs load better than HDDs so it may be worth considering.

 

[Ivander]

Merry Christmas, everybody! Hope everybody's been getting stuff they really like.

Besides getting some money to save for Fire Emblem Fates, I also got Xenoblade X and the Collector's edition guide for it. My dad is the best when it comes to getting stuff he knows I will like. Heck, last year(or second last year) he surprised me with the first Xenoblade Chronicles, so getting X was also a big treat, especially with the board continuously talking about it. Also got Dark Cloud for PS4, since I really enjoyed it when I had it for PS2.

 

[Substitution]

I got pants for Christmas. I think it was a good one this year.

 

[Deleted member]

Dark Cloud

****ing Sakurai and his OCs I tell ya
smh :/

[BluePikmin11]

Merry Christmas y'all!

 

[Oasis Dealer]

Merry Christmas everybody! So far I'm enjoying mine, and my Christmas break is going to be very occupied. I got Bayonetta 1+2, Shovel Knight, Donkey Kong 64, Smash DLC (Cloud, Geno, and the stages from September), Mysterious Murasame Castle, and I still have $110 in Christmas money, which I'm already deciding what to spend it on with the list below.

• Xenoblade Chronicles X
• Splatoon
• Amiibo
• MGS HD collection
• Majoras Mask 3D
• Wonderful 101
• GameCube adaptor
• Smash GameCube controller

This Christmas was pretty great all things considered.

 

[PushDustIn]

Details for the Source Gaming tourney tomorrow:

Spoiler

Come join us!


I got a coffee mug, from work. And money, which I spent part of the money to buy the capture device, but the rest I'm saving for a rainy day.

Being an adult...

 

[Deleted member]

I got pants for Christmas. I think it was a good one this year.

And I got a shaver.

Don't laugh, that's actually my most important gift ever.

Other than that I got teh games I asked for y'all.

 

[epicmartin7]

So... someone just broke the meta.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Are you serious?

Wow. Props to her for being such a hard worker, but the first one? That would be the last thing I'd want

Yup her first. She is definitely a major contributor to the store and we would be lost without her. Again, happy for her.

And I'm waiting for the rest of my family to wake up to open presents.

 

[Champ Gold]

Got something nice this year

• Fitbit
• Clothes
• Portable Charger carrier
• Avengers: Age of Ultron DVD
• $25 Gift Card to GameStop
• Necklace
• Watch

Pretty Nice Christmas overall

 

[Shadowwolflink]

Talking about what we got, huh?

Well, I got:
Yoshi's Woolly World
Ant-Man on Blu-Ray
Doctor Who Series 8
A Millennium Falcon Bluetooth speaker
William Shakespeare's Empire Striketh Back
A cool 3D wolf picture
Various gift cards
And various clothes/socks/shoes

Pretty good, I think.

 

[FalKoopa]

I got nothing. Although my cousin and I played Smash and NSMBWii till we dropped of tiredness.

And my mother prepared a lot of my favourite dishes. So it was a great day for me anyway.

It's a Greek mythology thing. The entities referred to as "angels" in proper media are more often than not actually putti. Putto is simply the singular form of the term.

I hadn't the faintest clue it could be interpreted badly, TBH.

 

[NintenZ]

I got,

A Seth Mcfarline DVD
Deodorant (It was a joke gift, last year it was a dog bone)
Xenoblade Chronicles X
A gift I've been asking for since I was ten (Long time coming eh?)
A $40 EShop Gift Card

And that's about it, I thought they were all really nice gifts. Funny thing, my sister's stocking got mixed with mine and I ended up getting some... Interesting stuff to say the least.
