Off Topic: Australia Day

So yesterday was a public holiday for practically everyone. God bless those poor buggers that had to work, but if you had a day off, what did you get up to? Video games? Sitting around the house watching the tennis? The obligatory BBQ?

I had a pretty relaxing day. I spent a bunch of it playing catch up on certain video games. When my son is awake I can pretty much only play kid friendly games, so I played Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for a huge chunk of the day. My kid loves this game. He calls it “MONKEY” and beats his chest every time Donkey Kong runs into the level. Which is adorable.

I also finally finished off New Super Mario Bros. U. I started playing it again after abandoning it soon after the Wii U’s release, but I decided to give it another bash and, you know? That game is actually pretty spectacular. I unfairly dismissed it at a time when I was completely over 2D Mario games, but I thoroughly enjoyed it second time around.

So that was my Australia day, what did you guys and girls get up to?
