The Post X-Mas Euphoria.

Ya know, for all the gripping and bemoaning I do every year about X-Mas and the X-Mas season, I usually end up having a decent holiday.

This year was uber-laid back. X-Mas Eve I went over to my sister's (Dizzy Lizzy's) place where me, my Bro-In-Law, my mom and sister had a nice dinner and then opened gifts. I scored some cigars and the three movies I asked for on DVD. I also got some money sent to me from Dad and I've already used it buying Saints Row 2 today. I haven't played it yet as I'm still rockin' through Fallout 3. I'm finding that F3 is slightly more limited than Oblivion and may be done with it soon.

I did take a break from F3 recently and barrelled through Halo 3. It was the first time I played through it. I found the action and environments the highlight of the game. But the single player campaign was a little on the quick side compared to its two predecessors. I'm glad I borrowed it and didn't rent it or buy it. I think the developers, Bungie, are getting a little too obsessed with the on-line, multi player modes of the game over the single player experience. Still, I found it really challenging and entertaining. Just wish it was longer.

Then on X-Mas we went over to our cousins' place. Their house was featured in a local magazine on how well they decorate their home during the holidays. There was good company and at the end of the evening I took on my cousin's little boy, Danny, in a game of Wii Batman Legos and got my ass handed to me on a silver platter.

I do have a bunch of geekified movie reviews coming up sooner or later. I just have to go over what I've seen and get my thoughts together.

I hope you all had some form of decent X-Mas celebration!

Short and sweet, this blog is (Zangz says in his best Yoda imitation).

Until next time, stay vertical!
