Merry Christmas! I hope whoever reads this is having a nice Christmas (or holiday) filled with fun, family, and maybe some gaming. I've been enjoying the Steam holiday sale and snapping up some great deals. Christmas is usually a great time for gaming--time off to play some games you've been waiting to sink some time into or to receive some nice new games.
As a kid I have many happy memories associated with gaming. One of the best Christmas presents my brother and I received was the original Nintendo. It was a big gift for us (and of course my parents got some playtime in too) and we definitely got the most out of it. My family didn't have a lot of money so getting a game console was a big deal. A favorite for my family was
Dr. Mario which is a
Tetris style competition game that involves stacking pills of different colors and eliminating viruses. Even my Mom who rarely partook of the familial gaming time would get in on the action. It usually got pretty heated. Ahh the fond memories of
Dr. Mario.
My own personal favorite Christmas/holiday gaming moments were in
World of Warcraft. The holiday event featuring Blizzard's reiteration of Santa Claus was always exciting. Logging on Christmas morning to unwrap the gift for the year was always exciting. The gifts I received ranged from a cool robot pet, an ugly Christmas sweater, and some "footballs." Even though the holiday quests changed very little over the years I played it was always fun to fetch milk and cookies, rescue a kidnapped reindeer, or kill the Greench. Even little things like receiving holly to turn your mounts into reindeer (flying or otherwise) was a fun addition. I have to hand it to Blizzard for coming up with fun and memorable holiday events.
So again, Merry Christmas (or other holiday) and may you give or receive the gift of gaming. My brother gave me
Five Nights at Freddy's #1 and 2 because apparently he intends for me to be scared out of my wits :)
