@BurningDoom:

Sweet!

I also recently got Legend of Legaia, and, I'm about 1/2 way through reading that 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die book...and...IMHO, it's excellent!

I thumbed through that book at Barnes and Noble a while back. Mostly looking at it and going "played it", "played it", "nope", "played it", ha.

I also have that 1001 games book. I'm kinda annoyed that almost half the thing is newer games, and it skips over a lot of really amazing older games, but it's fun to read through so I do think it's pretty interesting.

Cards Against Humanity with both expansions (If you never played this game BUY IT NOW... well, after they get it in stock again)

Nice!  I picked up the pay-what-you-want holiday expansion pack they had a few weeks back and did a end-of-the-world party with that game (+ the other two expansions) as a featured highlight.  Kinda crazy to play it with 10 people (or more as people were coming in and out of the game), but it still caused a lot of laughs.  Not really family-friendly unless your family is fine with swearing and knows the definitions of some very awkward... things.

I played with my mom, dad and one of their friends right after opening our presents up. They loved it, but let's just say my parents are very open-minded. There's a few times where they didn't get some of the cards, or my parents' friend didn't seem to get the game's concept at points... but it was a fun time, and I'm bringing it over to a friend's place tonight.

My wife got me a ton of stuff for Christmas.  She gave my mother-in-law some great pointers, too. Here's some highlights.

^ Don't you love how Americanized the artwork is on the Cartridge of the Breath of Fire games? Yet they are distinctly Japanese games in the way they play and their art-style in the game.

You're the second person I've seen with that N64 set complete (the other person being myself).

Damn I love food. That's awesome and I want a drooling smiley now  :P

You can't know how jelly I am of that Zelda Game and Watch. Damn, those are all great gifts!




My own Christmas was pretty gaming-related this year, as I got a PSP, Kirby 64, Zelda: Yume o Miru Shima, a n64 gameshark (to play japanese n64 games!), Adventure Island II, Paper Mario: Sticker Star, a pre-order of the Twilight Symphony CD (http://twilight-symphony.com/), some awesome Sonic pajama pants and gaming posters. I was also surprised with 2 starter decks of Lord of the Rings TCG cards, which are so damn impossible to find nowadays!

For gifts I gave, my brother got a red Wii motion plus remote, which he wanted for quite a while now (before finding it on Kijiji, I actually didn't even know that Nintendo sold them separately from the red console bundle). I also found a cheap Super Smash Bros 64 for my cousin, and an Android humidifer for my dad because Android is awesome :P
