   The usual plus whatever game time I can fit in.

   Finish Fable III. Start Halo Reach. Volunteer at the Exodus Foundation on Christmas Day so I can get out of pretending to like my relatives, while they pretend to like me.

   I plan to get through my backlog of games, as I get 2 weeks off work, shit yes.

   I want to finish up Tales of Vesperia, Skate 3, and a few other random games that are gathering dust. Mainly just relax and push lots of buttons, instead of people pushing mine day in and out.

      I was thinking about going through Skate 3. Skate 2 is one of my favourite games ever – wasn’t feeling the same vibe with 3. Worth giving it a second chance?

         I thought that Skate 3 is the game Skate 2 should have been. They’re getting a bit samey, but Skate 3 is worth a playthrough if you enjoy the series.

         It’s allright, it doesn’t seem to be as “focused” as Skate 2, but There’s no reason to not enjoy it if you didn’t enjoy Skate 2. If you binged out on Skate 2 and went directly into 3, it probably burnt you out, so give it another try.

         I actually really like the Skate series, and this is coming from someone who doesn’t enjoy skating games too much. I lost interest when Tony Hawk Underground 2 hit, and I only ever sunk a lot of time into THPS 2, 3 and 4.

         That, and Flip-tricking into a grind and having your wheel snag on a rail post, causing you to break ribs is *awesome*

   Well i only get the main days off, so it’s not a big change for me. The days i do get off are going to be filled with family commitments.

   When i do get to play some games, i’ll be trying to finish off Mass Effect whilst i try to decide what to play next out of my constantly growing pile of shame.

   On the plus side, i’m going fishing for the first time in probably a decade early Saturday morning. Should be interesting if nothing else. lol
   Anyone know some good places near geelong? Thinking of heading to Torquay for it, or Queenscliff…

   My plans haven’t gone beyond that, and I’d like to keep it that way.

   I wasn’t planning much time off over xmas, but have just found out I’ll be getting quite a lot, so will have plenty of gaming time! Including…

   RDR – Undead Nightmare (it’s under the xmas tree)
   ACB – game completed but I need to finish rebuilding Rome and get my assassins levels up.
   DKCR – Still heaps to go.
   Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 – dug this out of my pile of shame a few weeks ago and can’t stop playing it!
   Fallout New Vegas – have been planning a 2nd playthrough, haven’t started yet.
   Pinball FX2 – trying to beat my high score(s) on the new Marvel tables 🙂

   Oh yeah, I’m also going to buy myself the Sly Collection for PS3 and have a look at that as I’ve never played any of those games.

   Sooo, I think that should be enough to keep me out of trouble for a couple of weeks!

   I work through the holidays and just bought a house, so I’ll probably spend all my spare time painting and tiling said new house.

   Minimal gaming for me 🙁

    I will be catching up on 2 years worth of neglected stuff that was put on hold during uni. I have weeding, gardens to tend to, plastering, a small addition to a brick wall, remove two garden beds, pave a new area in my backyard that requires 6-700 pavers and prob some other stuff also.

    I will also have 2-3 weeks off so will do heaps of gaming. Need to get back into New vegas, continuing my way through the new platinum medals in Trials, undead nightmare, GT5, and still have a bunch of other unplayed games to get through.

    Also will be rebuilding my PC on a new HDD as my 90+% CPU usage while idle is killing me. Will make it Win 7 64bit and will also consider replacing the CPU along with buying a new wireless card for the PC.

    Then insert a trip to ACT with some Family, xmas with family and friends then some quality time with the wife and kid!

    Should be a good break.

    I’ve got two weeks of leave (hoo-fucking-ray!) but I really need a break, so gaming might go on the backburner. I’d love to go down the coast for a week – just need someone to babysit our cat. Oh, and going to the cricket.

    But I started hitting up AC:B on Tuesday. I think it’s fair to say that will eat up quite a chuck of my gaming time that will inevitably happen.

    Family stuff around the festive dates then two weeks of solitude, peace and quiet.

    Planning to go through the backlog.

    Dead Rising 2 – Haven’t finished (shame on me)
    Fallout New Vegas – Have another crack and pray it doesn’t bug out on me again.
    Also Neverwinter Nights 2 – I’ve had the full box set staring at me for years now from the cupboard over my computer desk. May give it another shot.
    The Witcher – Haven’t finished (double shame on me)

    Family stuff for xmas, then work for NYE. Then I have a week off, to hopefully finish Undead Nightmare, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Mario Galaxy 2, with some GT5 in between. Also need to fit the girlfriend in somewhere :/

    OH YES, I forgot, I’m going to start another run-through on Baldur’s Gate, as I haven’t played it for years, and picked up the bundle on GOG.

    I’ve already got it modded with the Baldur’s Gate 2 engine and expanded dialogue, so I can go through the main game as a Wild Mage from start to finish.

    *Wolf*
    “Oh my god, A wolf! CAST MAGIC MISSILE!”
    *Spell messes up and gems spray everywhere*

    *Bandit*
    “HOLY CRAP, Bandit! CAST ENTANGLE!”
    *Gate to hell opens up and a demon appears, slaughtering everyone*

    *Random Fight*
    “CAST FIREBALL!”
    *Spell cats 6 times, obliterating enemy*
    “Whoa, nifty.”

    I experience much the same thing Mark. I have these grand visions of getting stuck into some serious gameage…but alas. It never happens. Having a large family and a girlfriend with an equally large family requires a plethora of days taken up with social events. We tend to go away for a few days as well and that equals time away from my big screen and yeah…I might get to sneak in a few sessions here and there I hope. Currently (finally) in the midst of Dragon Age, but already dreading the fact that I’ll be interrupted and lose my precious momentum with it!

    Being the one responsible for cooking for and organising the festivities doesn’t leave much time for gaming, especially with my daughter’s birthday soon after Christmas, and then we’re going to America 3/4 of the way through January….eeek, so much to do!
    If I managed to score a game for Christmas I’d definitely have to find some time to play it though.

    Heading to Brisbane.

    Already purchased a Wii console and had it sent to the family home ahead of arrival. And this was BEFORE finding out my mum had actually purchased a Wii anyway the day before 🙁

    Got my Xbox 360 bag today from eBay so I’m all set for gaming when I head back to hometown. Well, at least until the girlfriend arrives from overseas 🙂

    For the first time in several years I’m off from Christmas until after new years. Very exciting 🙂

    Gaming time will consist of a three way tug of war between ACB, A third run through Mass Effect 2 (now with DLC! Squee!) and Costume Quest.

    Oh, Costume Quest. I heart you so damn much…
