Christmas as the Parental Overunits' house is always nice; there's nothing like an open fire (even when it's not
that cold). There is also nothing like watching someone who's never really played computer games (at least, not since Tyrann on the
Oric-1 back in the early 80s) get used to the WASD controls in a MMO. Imagine watching someone
tap the W key to move 1-step at a time, then tap the D key to turn - and then have to tap the A key a couple of times because they'd gone too far.
DNA fans may be familiar with the term “
kent”... suffice it to say I looked a complete kent.
We had beef for Xmas dinner - a change from the usual turkey on the basis the recent bird flu fun 'n' games had driven the price up.
New Year's Eve was round my brother's. He cooked a large pork dinner and handed out presents which he and the GF had been unable to give due to being at the GF's parents for Xmas. Kindly they got me Guitar Hero III - unfortunately, for the PS3.
We had a stab at a game called “Picture This” they'd been given for Xmas. The general idea was you moved a counter around a board and answered questions in four categories: News, World, Sport and Entertainment. Each card had three questions about the picture on it: question one was almost invariably “who is in the picture”, question two was some other fact about them and the third, and hardest, question was - strangely - often about who was Australian PM at the time...
I won two of three games. Mum won the other.
I found where my
Wilma's Rainbow EP had got to... my brother had also found the book mentioned in
this post about killing jars.
