drahkon Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Only a few more weeks and it's Christmas Since I've started playing video games I kind of made it a habit to spend a shit-ton of time pursuing my biggest hobby on Christmas Eve and the days between Boxing Day and New Years Eve. : peace: Do you have something similar planned? Are there games that you always/often revisit during Christmas? Do you even game bro during the holidays (by which I mean: do you even have time to do so)? As it is kind of a tradition I will do a 100% run through Super Mario World on my SNES A mate and I will most likely spend a day drinking and playing Call of Duty together
Ashley Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Does the game of not getting into political arguments with your family count...because if so that. But seriously, I'm too busy with familial obligations to actually have any time.
Happenstance Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 It'll probably depend on if I get any games for Christmas or not but I wouldn't mind having something in particular I want to complete over Christmas. Could be Final Fantasy XV as I assume I'll still be working my way through it.
bob Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Yeah, i generally have too many familial commitments to have time for gaming over Xmas. Even if i get a new game, i rarely get to play it until well into the new year.
Mandalore Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Getting a Zelda for Christmas is always a bit special, reminds me of getting Ocarina of Time. Tempting to treat myself to Twilight Princess HD and stick it under the tree.
Rummy Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 I used to game at Xmas a lot - naturally because it'd be when I got games etc as a kid, or big releases came up for the period. However I'm not really sure I can recall my last major 'Christmas gaming' feeling since 2006 when the Wii/TP came out. Maybe some VC stuff a year or two after that(Paper Mario comes to mind). I have had a bit of a nostalgic/hankering feeling for Xmas gaming recently though - I think actually spurred by your posts about annual SMWing! The other thing for me is also that I don't really need/tend to take time off around Xmas. We close on all of the obvious days but otherwise are open and tbh I'll just tend to carry on working where necessary. A lot of my other time around Xmas tends to be taken up with seeing people who are back home/in the area rather than sitting down for a proper gaming sesh!
