I picked up a few games, owned a few noobs and bonded with the brethren. It was pretty fuckin' rad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite only getting shaving kits and Guitar Hero boxers, Christmas wasn't too bad.  My best friend, and now Marine, got leave for Christmas and such, so we basically spent all of our time picking up every game he's missed over the past 5 months.  My employee discount got a work out that week. We picked up World at War, Wrath of the Lich King,Socom:Confrontation, and I bought a few things off Steam and Playstation Network myself. The other day my friends and I discovered a little game shop ironically named "Game Shop". We lol'ed, and found ourselves handing over our wallets to nostalgia. I picked up a few N64 games I'll probably never play but must have in my collection, awed at the $80 price tag of some Playstation 1 and SNES classics and hired our local cartographer to put that practically-sex shop on the map for all future excursions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.3dnews.ru/documents/669/turok2-3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 383px;" src="http://www.3dnews.ru/documents/669/turok2-3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was sure to dispose of what little else was left in my bank account as well, fueling my other hobbies and addictions.  Finally bought The Zombie Survival Guide and the Deadpool back issues and appearances I missed. If by some miracle it's not just me reading my own blog, I could really use some book and comic recommendations these days. I was thinking of getting "Masters of Doom","The Race for a New Game Machine" and trying the semi-new run of "Guardians of the Galaxy".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.marvel.com/i/content/st/3512header_banner0371814.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 608px; height: 229px;" src="http://www.marvel.com/i/content/st/3512header_banner0371814.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I blogged a little today, and plan to much more often. It's actually part of my New Years Resolution, and I've actually got some delicious stories from work and want to write some impressions on the games I've been playing lately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S&lt;br /&gt;I fucking love LittleBigPlanet. There's &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;something&lt;/span&gt; in this game. Nothing beats waking up the pops at 4:00 a.m laughing so hard my balls hurt.
