You Shouldn't Have

Well here we are yet another Wednesday and getting closer and closer to Christmas. With Christmas comes things that I enjoy in the world of being a gamer. So what better idea for a list than that? Well there isn't so let's just get to it.

5. Realizing Games in 2016 Are Closer

With Christmas comes the end of the year. With games marked for 2016 it is that tick of the year that makes these games that seem so far away seem so much closer.

4. Talking Gaming Lore With People

You tend to be around people with similar interests around the holidays. Sometimes with people you haven't seen in awhile and it is always fun to talk gaming lore from the things you have been playing during the year. I am guessing that the Starcraft ending is going to be a big topic this year.

3. Have Fun With Holiday Themes In Games

I love when the games I play do something special for the holidays. Especially around Christmas time. I take this stuff seriously so don't mess it up for me.

2. Wii Sports Tournaments

I don't know about all of you, but when I am with my family for the holidays Wii sports always happens. My family is pretty competitive and we always play for bragging rights.

1. Playing That New Game

You know it never fails. I always have a new game around Christmas time. Be it one that was given to me as a gift or one that I bought myself. New games and Christmas just go hand in hand.

There they are my favourite things about the holiday season. What are yours? Let me know in one way or another.

You Fail At Gamer Christmas Gifts If...

Fail Day, and the first one of December as well. So what better thing to talk about in December than Christmas right? Now if you are like me you dislike Christmas shopping in general not because you don't like to get people gifts, but I hate going to the stores when they are busy or just all around asking people what they actually want. So this inspired me for this week's Fail Day.

You Fail At Gamer Christmas Gifts If...

• You bought a game for the wrong system
• You will be mad if they want to play the game all day once you get it for them
• You give the advice of getting Call of Duty
• You think wrapping it matters
• You got an Origin Gift Card instead of Steam
• You you listed to the employee who says everyone is in to SWTOR
• You didn't get them anything gaming related
• You picked up a headset without a mic
• You bought the Kinect because it was on clearance
• You figured facebook credits were a good idea
• You bought a strategy guide for a game they don't play
• You were so excited about the wireless mouse you picked up

and finally

• You ever thought about picking up an XBOX One

There it is this week's edition of fail. Hope you all enjoyed it and maybe you might just have an easier time shopping!
