I (unfortunately) couldn’t get any playing in on either Christmas Day nor Boxing Day… I feel distraut at such a fact and will now spend my day back at work doing sweet FA as a reward.

Then i’ll go home and play some TF2.

I, erm, requested Stalker in my stocking. (Or I would’ve, if we used stockings.) And, yes, you lot are entirely to blame for this.

Been too preoccupied with TF2 – and a visit to EVE – to actually install it, though. (Lots of new guys on the servers lead to hilariously surreal rounds of Dustbowl. “What’s this class stuff? Where are we going? Why is there a knife in my spine?”)

It warms my heart that people are still playing Second Sight, it really does!

As for the original point of this thread: my gaming highlight of this Xmas has been watching my brothers play Mario Galaxy. I know this is a PC gaming forum, and I know this answer doesn’t involve me actually playing anything, but that game is so fun even just to watch that it’s still true so there. :)

Yesterday my brother and I played some TF2, much amused by laughing heavies in party hats.

Have also just launched ST-Sound to play old lemmings tunes.

OMG, yay Christmas Lemmings. Happy memories.

Best Girlfriend in the World got someone a copy of Crysis.

Had to try it out in Delta & max detail at 960-widescreen rez, so far so awesome. Now time to finish level 19 of Portal I thinks.

Hope the RPS crew had a good time too!

I spent it playing lots of TF2, between maps sneaking out to get more xmas food.

Merry Christmas, you suckers!

All’s quiet on the home front now so I’ll be under The Witcher’s spell for the next three hours.

Thanks for all the fish, RPG!

In the absence of being with my real family this Christmas, this year I spent pretty much all of Christmas Day playing with my virtual family in Sims 2. (Note the timestamp – I’ve only just stopped playing)

In the last ten hours or so, I’ve sired three children by two different women, become Mayor, custom built a huge mansion, and managed not to have the traditional drunken, blazing row with my parents while playing Trivial Pursuit. I should do Christmas like this every year… it’s much more fun!

Merry thing, all.

I got the Company of Heroes expansion, Super Mario Galaxies and Blade Runner: The Directors Final Last One We Promise Cut, whoop!

EVE: Online has finally tempted me out of my long-held-opposition to monthly charges and drawn me in, so I’ve been running away from the family at regular intervals to switch skill training and set up a few more sell orders. Ahem.

Also, isn’t that tag missing a “la”? ISN’T IT? Yes it is.
