@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.

Sorry so late to the party, but went to bed Monday early not feeling to well and woke up this morning feeling alot better. Guess I had the flu or something so I really didn't enjoy Christmas too much but oh well, Things I go this year:
Harmony Cart for atari 2600 - Been wanting one of these since they came out.
Atari Flashback 4 - this one has 75 games Built in.
$50 gift card to walmart
and a wi-fi tablet.
Overall not to shabby

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

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

Seriously, they're so soft and comfy, it's incredible! Perfect gear for late-night gaming I want to pet them for hours

I got Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D from my parents and some NES commons from my grandparents.  I also got a scanner so I can scan stuff for the site

[scott]

Awesome! Congrats on the scanner! Ha

I just spent my MS point cards on the Skyrim DLC. Its all downloading now and I might load it up for a bit before the GF gets here for New Years festivities.
