I just realized that if the Thumbs stay on schedule, the next episode will be a Christmas special and the one after that will be a New Year's special.

I've watched Batman Returns twice now.

HAPPY NEW YEAR *fweeet*

I finished The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD yesterday, and did enough New Game Plus stuff to drop off my last pictograph. That ending is still so good, though Ganondorf is a much easier fight than I remember. The whole game's pretty easy, to be honest. I think I only ever needed to heal once, on the last floor of the Savage Labyrinth. I'm just happy I finally got this.

After five long years of near-daily use, I finally need to replace my headphones. The left cup was falling off, but it was the right cup that stopped working last night. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. *salute* ...Too bad I can't afford a new pair.

Cooking, cleaning, playing games, or just laying down on the couch. I mentioned in my first letter to the cast that I was listening to the entire Thumbs backlog while replaying Metroid: Other M, and ended up perfectly timing "Space Asshole" with Adam's death.

Amazon.ca's doing 40% off the new model 4GB Xbox 360 today. I am so very, very tempted.

I got it when it was free and used it when I played the DLC case. I just finished the DLC case now, and you actually unlock another (totally hilarious) costume for Phoenix.

Sony's selling PS3 accessories at a nice discount right now if you need any.

This DLC case is amazing.

What if Chris' phone was gathering his genetic information for the Google robots? The real Chris, with his original haircut, will show up next week to fight his robot duplicate.

I'm still playing this. Spoilers for post-credits stuff.

I spent most of the last year having to remind myself that I was 22, not 23.

The Luigi's Mansion statue is the most expensive Club Nintendo reward to date, at 1500 coins. Eesh.

No idea. I have the Telltale reprint of Surfin' the Highway, which includes all of them. My favourite is the Full Throttle one where Max gets a tattoo.

Hey Zeus, for added effect you should read all the one-shot Sam & Max comics based on old Lucasarts adventure games.

Lots of weird stuff in the Nintendo Direct: -Dr. Luigi -NES Remix thing -Mario Kart 8 continues to be Mario Kart -fucking Zelda Dynasty Warriors? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8-dehlxzHk0

Nintendo Direct! Chibi-Robo confirmed for NA release! Finally! Also, Kirby Triple Deluxe something something Yoshi's New Island something something

Today's Nintendo Direct showed off a new character: Rosalina and Luma, seemingly working like one character a la Ice Climbers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pPdutb_6DZU I like this. I like it a lot.

Is it too early to start talking about games of the year? It seems like there's no more big releases coming until February. Spike's doing their GVX Awards (because "VGA" wasn't extreme enough) this weekend, so I'd assume so. Teg's picks! It's in five categories because I have a hard time deciding things. I only just now realized that I played nothing but PC and Nintendo games this year, with almost all of my gaming done on my 3DS, so this is honestly a pretty crummy list. I have a feeling I'm going to regret a lot of this list when I upgrade my PC in January or so.

I have a pile of Christmas gifts gradually piling around my tiny tree. eeeeeeeeee OuO

Zeusthecat's old car was a Hummer H2 welded to the top of another Hummer H2.

George Takei's first ever video game: Mario Party 4.

Ikachan got a 3DS rerelease back in January and I don't remember anyone saying a single thing about it. I didn't even know it was there until I was browsing the eshop a few weeks ago.
