Thank you, I only just read this but yes, I do indeed read every post in this thread - whenever I'm still awake at that time - and I will generally react to the majority of posts where possible.
I was considering joining in at one point as I'd just started playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 but I only started drinking at around 1am so I didn't get anywhere near drunk enough sadly.
Though I did manage more than a couple of hours of gameplay time after a long shift at work which is pretty good for me but I only had the one drink of vodka in the end as I was pretty engrossed in the opening section of the game... and then before I knew it, the time was 3am so.
We'll see though, it is December afterall so I may end up buying a decent bottle of Rum pretty soon, so I may post in here yet, when you least expect it.
In the meantime I'll be sure to keep checking in on this glorious thread though.
