   I want to play Skyrim, but I guess I was bad all year and have to spend Christmas with my family and in the few hours reprieve I’ll be doing data entry I didn’t get around to at work 🙁

   I’m gonna be playing that game where you run around like a madperson for a few days trying to make sure you have all the presents sorted and cooking all the amazing foods for Christmas Lunch.
   And then after that I’ll collapse onto the comfiest couch spot and play whatever game I managed to snag for Christmas. I’m hoping for Assassin’s Creed:Revelations, Xenoblade Chronicles or the Ico/Shadow Of The Colossus HD collection. *crosses fingers*

      It’s been ages since I’ve had that feeling of anticipation when opening a game on Christmas. I get too impatient to wait for events nowadays 🙁

         A few years ago everyone got a game for Christmas, my parents included, except me. Worst Christmas ever, especially considering I’m the one who got them all into gaming!

   No family plans, so it’s likely that we’ll fire up a new large world in Terraria and get into some of the new end-game content.

   Well, I have next week off work, so a 10 day weekend awaits. I’m sure I’ll be playing Skyrim some more, I’m only a few hours into SR3, and I haven’t unwrapped Ass Creed Revelations yet. Deus Ex is on my pile of shame, and I hope to be inspired to play that one too, and I’ll probably revisit Arkham City and start a new game plus.

   Hopefully my wife won’t interfere in these plans too much by making me go places and do things 🙂

   Oh yeah, there’s always Minecraft…

   Assassin’t Creed Revelations (thanks Kotaku!), Skyward Sword and Super Mario 3D Land.

   I’m told that I will also derive hours of pleasure from watching a small boy attempting to unwrap Christmas presents.

   Then I’m going to dive into a couple of other things over the next two weeks, maybe some Deus Ex, Multiplay Portal 2, Dragon Age expansions, Bastion.

      You’ll watch the small boy unwrap everything(impatiently helping him so it doesn’t take forever) and then you’ll watch him throw the toys away to play with the boxes. 😛

    I’m actually due to get quite a few games over Christmas, but I won’t get a chance to play any of them this weekend. Uncharted 3, Ico/Shadow of the Collossus, Skyward Sword, Possibly Arkham City…and that’s not counting Xenoblade Chronicles which I am still working through (massive game) and Starcraft 2 which I’m still playing multiplayer.

       I’ve got finishing R&C: TOD on my list for xmas, too! Up to the prison bit now… not sure how far from the end that is.

       Plus a bit of Battlefied 3 and HOPEFULLY I’ll find some time to start getting back into Dark Souls. Bought it on launch day, played it solidly for a couple of weeks then went away on holidays and haven’t played it since due to Uncharted 3 and BF3.

       In-laws coming to stay between xmas and new year may puncture some/all of those plans, though…

    Building a deck and eating lots. That’s my gameplan. I started UC3 last weekend and got bored, at the back of my mind the entire time was Dark Souls.

    Giantbomb have a sale on their premium memberships today that I took advantage of, so I’ll be basking in that as well.

    Probably a bunch of Minecraft, and I’ll either have another crack at BF3 or play split-screen MW3 with the wife.

    There’s a slim chance I will try to finish up Assassins Creed: Revelations. There’s an even slimmer chance I will purchase and play Skyrim.

    I’ll be slogging through a forced second playthrough of Skyrim due to yee old hard drive crapping out… again. Have a funny feeling the Santa-Fairy (i.e. me… apparantly) will be sending a copy of Assassins Creed Revelations (If it arrives from OzGameShop… which it probably won’t). Also, Dead Space 2… but the majority of time will – unfortunately – be spent with family in central Victoria, or doing my wife’s bidding around the house. That’s ok, though. Eventually everyone else will fall asleep, my insomnia will kick in and BOOYA!

    I’ve kinda slumped in Skyrim, I have all this stuff to do, but meh… think i need to level up my chararcter a bit more to make the combat more satisfying.
