In particular I want to say Merry Christmas to Steven, David, Pixy, Cineris, Don, Ubu Roi, Otaku, Mark, and Jay.
There’s a reason I hit those blogs every day, and I wish the best to my various blog friends.
We didn’t get a Wii, but we did get Animal Crossing. Holy Kawaii. This game has sucked in the entire family, and is the first videogame that has brought all five of us to the Gamecube together. As a bonus, it is creating an incentive for the girls to read, which is always good.
Deus Ex and The Treachery of Labels
Deus Ex Mankind Divided was a clumsy, tone-deaf allegory that thought it was clever, and it managed to annoy people of all political stripes.
Silent Hill Origins
Here is a long look at a game that tries to live up to a big legacy and fails hilariously.
Bethesda NEVER Understood Fallout
Let's count up the ways in which Bethesda has misunderstood and misused the Fallout property.
Crysis 2
Crysis 2 has basically the same plot as Half-Life 2. So why is one a classic and the other simply obnoxious and tiresome?
Silent Hill Turbo HD II
I was trying to make fun of how Silent Hill had lost its way but I ended up making fun of fighting games. Whatever.

Merry Christmas Shamus!
I got a laser printer and a rubber ducky. :)
Hm. No toys for this mommy — but I got a more functional abacus than my son did! :)
(Well, to be fair, the stocking had a few toys, but I didn’t get the 5X5X5 Rubik’s cube I wanted.)
Merry Christmas, Shamus!

You’ll need some sort of nonstandard adapter to get those working together.
Merry Day-After-Christmas to all of you.
And Merry Christmas from this corner as well.

Nah, USB is everywhere these days.
Aw, shucks, Shamus :) Thank you! I hope yours was awesome.
Toys — TOYS — I found a couple of PS2 games under the tree. Including Guitar Hero II. So I must be doing something right, as well!
Have an awesome New Year!
Merry Xmas! I got Serial Experiments Lain, a party tray, a candy tray, a gift certificate to Best Buy, a watch, and a new wallet. My friends understand me better than my family!
I need a new family…
::sniffle:: I may be 24 but i still want toys for Christmas… why does everyone buy me work shirts? Well, to be fair my cousin and my fiance bought me some dvds that were worthwhile. I finally got Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 on Dvd and Bubbahotep special edition dvd (i’m a huge Bruce Campbell fan, even met him on my last birthday).
Happy holidays!
Regarding Animal Crossing — my wife and my son were playing it a number of years ago. One day my wife was teasing him about something, so he booted up the game and used the in-game mail system to send her … a boot.
