Christmas!

Nightfall · Dec 12, 2009 8:58 PM

So it's that time of year again. Wow, doesn't feel like 5 minutes since the last one.

Anyway, discuss xmas in general here. Gifts, your plans, Santa! big_smile

I'm having:

Nintendo Wii!!! big_smile (with Zelda: Twlight Princess, Wii Fit, Wii Sports Resort and this Toy Story game for my lil' sis.)

Several anime boxsets: Elfen Lied, Code Geass, Saikano.

Loadsa CDs: Kamelot - Epica, Within Temptation - An Acoustic Night at the Theatre, Sonata Arctica - Winterheart's Guild and Reckoning Night, Evanescence - The Open Door, Nightwish - Made in Hong Kong (LIVE!).

Fantastic! The Wii's awesome! You've also got some really good games there. Zelda TP rocks!

Pretty cool! I wonder what I'll get for christmas...

Okay, about christmas then...
[EDIT: wut happened? It just posted without me doing something!]

We don't really celebrate christmas here in the Netherlands. We do celebrate "Sinterklaas" AKA Saint Nicolas, but me and my sister don't believe in it anymore so we (as one of the few Dutch people) switched to Christmas presents instead of Saint Nicolas, meaning we love christmas.

Our tree has been bought today, tomorrow we are gonna make it look nice. I changed my room to a christmas atmosphere (but my Dragons stay forever!) and I'm wearing santa hats... We watch some DVDs and wake up at midnight of the 24th and the 25th to have a christmas breakfast, pretty awesome with good food. However, we've made a christmas pudding only once sad

So what I want from Santa... let's see, I still need some Wii games, nice books, Kingdom Hearts COM... and I want a new Dragon "necklace"... mine's broken now, can't be fixed sad

Stormy · Dec 12, 2009 9:26 PM

I have no idea what I'm getting because I didn't ask for anything. More fun that way IMO.

I don't know how I'm going to get my Christmas shopping done seeing as I don't have a car. >.>

Spyrorocks · Dec 12, 2009 9:35 PM

Run really fast.

Nightfall · Dec 12, 2009 9:37 PM

My tree's up! We did it last weekend. It's a 6 foot artificial one. We've had it for years.

@ X: Yeah I've heard Zelda: TP is good. I was gonna get Animal Crossing: Let's go to the City. But I'll get that later.

Aicebo · Dec 12, 2009 9:40 PM

Putting up the tree this weekend. C:

My Christmas list consists mostly of CDs...I don't really need anything else. XD.

Nightfall · Dec 12, 2009 9:47 PM

Yep, I'm happy with tons of CDs too.

Oh, and I've had some new clothes too! big_smile

Apoc · Dec 12, 2009 9:57 PM

just as a heads up sonic 06 sucks. not really the game itself. the story is pretty epic but the gameplay is horrible. I would have loved it if it wasn't for that. it truly ruined my gaming expirience.

example. in most sonic games when you run through a loop the game is programed to lock you onto the loop so you dont go flying off it. somic 06 dosen't work like that and it really made me furious. if you were off center just a bit you go flying off. sometimes you go through loop but then as you are coming out you still fly off. I ended up stoping in mission because of these loops. because no matter what, I couldn't get centered this one loop. sad

Is anyone doing anything special for xmas? Going on holiday? Going to see relatives?

36IStillLikeSpyro36 · Dec 13, 2009 1:41 PM

i want a whole bunch of CDs big_smile Menhir, Aurora Borealis, Substance For God, etc. and i also want a sound recorder with good sound quality, because i'm starting a band and the cell phone [yes, cell phone] i use to record stuff has some pretty bad sound quality ^^

Is anyone doing anything special for xmas? Going on holiday? Going to see relatives?

nope lol, but my uncle's coming home for Christmas, and he's cool.

Nightfall · Dec 13, 2009 2:17 PM

We're just having a quiet day, with a couple of close family members coming over. It's nice just doing that. Hope there's some good stuff on TV.

Karmadragon · Dec 13, 2009 5:30 PM

I'm looking forward to the xmas Doctor Who. anyway I asked for:

Assassin's Creed 2
Left 4 dead 2
a Russell Howard DVD
a few figures from a site ( AC and WoW )
fable 2

that was it, much short then last year I admit....

Naegling · Dec 13, 2009 6:09 PM

Nightfall · Dec 13, 2009 7:24 PM

Oh, I forgot to mention I am having the new Zelda game on the DS, Spirit Tracks. I LOVED Phantom Hourglass, so I'm really looking forward to playing this one.

Naegling · Dec 13, 2009 7:50 PM

oh I havent heard alot of good from that game. it looks like it isnt worth it, which is why im not getting it.

Nightfall · Dec 13, 2009 7:54 PM

Well I read a brilliant review. It's probably because the first one on the DS is one of my favourite games. I was more than eager to try out the sequel.

Naegling · Dec 13, 2009 7:57 PM

oh sorry i didnt say that clearly. Phantom hourglass was a great game.Especially because it was a sequal to windwaker, which was a good game. I mean that spirit tracks doesnt look good. I saw the E3 and it doesnt look very good to me.
