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.
Why Batman Can't Kill
His problem isn't that he's dumb, the problem is that he bends the world he inhabits.
The Disappointment Engine
No Man's Sky is a game seemingly engineered to create a cycle of anticipation and disappointment.
Fable II
The plot of this game isn't just dumb, it's actively hostile to the player. This game hates you and thinks you are stupid.
Best. Plot Twist. Ever.
Few people remember BioWare's Jade Empire, but it had a unique setting and a really well-executed plot twist.
Quakecon 2012 Annotated
An interesting but technically dense talk about gaming technology. I translate it for the non-coders.
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.
