    I got those socks I wanted!
    (Yay!)
    I also got a ridiculous amount of Jelly beans.
    I don't rightly know why.
    Also a couple of books.

    Most of my good stuff I got some 12 days prior.
    Though I did get an awesome military strategy book.
    If I was good at RTSs before...

    Anywho;
    I'm happy!

    I got a lot of little bits and bobs. :derpe:
    This is the list of what I can remember (not at my house when posting this):
    - Hat
    - Touch Gloves for touchscreen phones
    - 2 pairs of regular gloves
    - 10 pairs of socks
    - 3 pairs of boxer shorts
    - Cookies
    - A plectrum maker
    - Vouchers for PULP + GAME
    - £150+ money
    - AC: Revelations
    - RAGE
    - Blink 182 T-shirt
    - Keychain that plays "Hey Jude"
    - Strange bookmarks
    - A Philadelphia Cheese Recipe book (Fillydelphia... heh)
    - Avenged Sevenfold Poster
    - 3 other posters
    - 3 Patriotic Canvases

    - Shampoo and other toiletries
    - 2 and a half hour Scuba Diving session
    - Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2
    - Haribos, and lots of'em.
    - And I can't remember anything else... but I think that's pretty much it.

    Like I said, lots of bits and bobs that I'm sure will prove useful! Thank you family and friends! :smile:

    - Socks and underwear.
    - gift cards for various places
    - time with family [size=-2]nonono, too sappy...[/size]
    - the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword...unfortunately no WiiMotion Plus, so I can't really play it (well, I was able to borrow a controller with one, but I didn't take it home with me), but mom went shopping and I think she'll get a new Wiimote with that fancy-shmancy Motion Plus built-in. :smile: ~yay~
    - World Peace...wait, that didn't happen?...Well, it was worth a shot. :(

    Not on mine. Sure,the quality was a little less, but it played normally. And the games run just fine.

    The speed on of the game is due to the games frame rate some games get frame rate issues at points hence the slow down.

    I've got both an HD TV 27" running at 1080i and an HD Monitor 20" running at 1080p both HDMI an you get slow down / lag in both. It's the game or if you play online it's the Internet speed :)

    If you're talking about the blur with LCD HDTV's, that's common but has gotten better compared to older LCD HDTV's. Plasma TV's have almost no blur, are much more expensive, but are susceptible to screen burn-in. I think LCD's are much better, I never really notice the blur all that much.

    What do you mean by 'fast' exactly? Is your friend's tv image blurry? Does it look like the image is out of sync with the sound?
