Looking forward to Christmas this year as not only is it a chance to get a break from degree work and see the family again but I'm also finally getting an X-box 360. This event coupled with the fact that I have managed to persuade the parents that buying Assassins Creed, the Half-Life Orange Box, Mass Effect and Kayne and Lynch means that I will be spending much of the forthcoming holiday period in a game induced haze. If that wasn't enough my brother is also buying me one of the morrowind oblivion expansion packs (I know its late but my dad refused to upgrade the home computer till recently and after completing Morrowind Oblivion I needed to take a bit of a break from RPG's, also the fact my uni laptop couldn't run anything above Dungeon Siege means the expansion has had to wait until now) which will only further add to the calls from my family that they hardly get to see me as I retreat to my bedroom to marvel at the amazing graphics and gameplay, while trying to go as long as possible without food, water or toilet breaks.

Anyway happy holidays all
