To some maybe, but as depressing as it may sound, to me its just another day that'll fly by before i even realise :? lol

Not like i'm totally tryin to knock off Xmas and all its indiscriminating joy, but dunno, i'm sure i'm not the only one who can agree these days it more for the younger generations. Everyones wallet being shoveled empty to pay for the gifts, trippin over decorations and dancing santa clause's as you make your way through the living room.

Having to wait in a queue for at least a good 20 mins to purchase 'anything' lol...or maybe having to wait usually a week for anyone with a functioning brain to do their shoppin over the net.

It all equals to alot of hassle really, most of which i don't bother with. No job equals no money, small flat equals little amount of decorations and the recent hype of the gaming media in general equals a few decades wait for any gamin purchases at the shops.

I'm sure one day i'll hopefully be able to make my own christmas, once i do actually find myself witha job and my own sizable flat, but until then Xmas is as important as saving the whales for me :twisted: lol

Still, least this Xmas will always be memorable for the holiday of when i spent most of my free time amidst the chaotic city that is Rapture, yes..Bioshock...still haven't completed it yet...but christ i can now see just why it can usually be found with the minimum score of 9/10. In one word its unbelievable and definatly has to be experienced first hand to be able to really have people understand what is so great aboot it. The diverse gameplay styles, its unnerving atmosphere and very compelling storyline all fit together perfectly to make a brillaint hybrid of a fps/rpg/horror game.

I'll explain more in its ever looming review :P but until then i leave that small description to show just how grand i believe Bioshock is 8).

But anywhoo, yeah a Merry Christmas to anyone who still takes this time of year with good will n all that overrated malarchy lol :P

Now the New Year...thats the holiday that requires you to create a memorable day...only to be forgotten the next day due a head-splitting hangover :P.

One adorable little santa hat---4 Pounds
