    Lighthearted thread seeing as it's the silly season..
    What's Santa bringing you all ?

    Just in the process here of finishing my New Master Race PC but am tempted to pick up a Wii U now that they've dropped to a reasonable price (If only to see what ZombieU is like.

    Picked up Metro Last Light too to play over Christmas.

    i'll just splurge on the inevitable steam sale all through Christmas and probably end up resubbing to wow after a year off, out of boredom

    The Zelda 3DS XL with the new Zelda game. I originally had a PS4, but I don't have the time to sit down and play games of that kind right now, so light bursts of Zelda (and the free Super Mario Land 3D) will do nicely.

    Hopefully New Super Mario 3D World for Wii U or Zelda Link Between Worlds on 3DS, depending on how much of me my wife wants to see over christmas :)

    Still haven't played a single game from last year's steam sales, I'm uninstalling the App from my phone and staying off the website this year.

    Incidentally, ZombiU is great fun, if a little stressful, and Pokemon X will swallow your soul once you see how accessible (and yet time consuming) IV training is this gen...

    I sort of have all games I wanted so far. More then I can play anyway. I will try to get some lego for myself as Xmas present. Nothing beats building with bricks something on Xmas day :).

    A PS3 and The Last of Us, if my wife has copped on to my not so subtle hints. I left notes in various places with TLOU and PS3 written on them. Hopefully I won't end up with TULIPS or a PISTOL.

    Santa is bringing me NOTHING this year.
    Again.

    I guess it's okay since I don't believe in him.

    A new monitor for my PC. My current one is really old and I don't always use it. I have been using steam in big picture mode with my TV, but its time I got a proper monitor.

    Getting a PS4 though as of yet I'm not sure if it's bundled with a game or not. Going to be a quiet Christmas with a lot of gaming with my younger brothers.

    I may pick up Assassins Creed 4, but between Battlefield 4, XCom: Enemy Within and a fking mental Steam Library, I don't think I need anything really except to get stuck in :)

    For your son, remember? I'm sure he'll appreciate all those fun boxes, while you safely protect him from the potentially dangerous objects within.


    The Santa list i sent off included 3D World, Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Puppeteer and the new Layton.

    Consider the PS3 TV , only 1080p but 3D and 24inch.
    If you can find one in Smyths they are only 150 euro.

    It's unlikely GTA 5 is coming out on PC before the 25th so, nothin! :'(
    I'll be playing a bit more Arkham Origins and Planetary Annihilation beta I guess.

    Is there any other way to spend the day after new games are unwrapped :confused:

    Dunno if anything game related will be waiting under ze tree for me, know my sister has my Amazon wishlist that has a few titles on it but have treated myself to a lot the past month (WiiU + WWHD, half dozen Wii titles, AC4, Starbound, Enemy Within).

    Now to echo several people here and wish Santy for more time off to actually try play some of this mountain of a backlog :(

    I notice you bought Zelda: A link between worlds seperately as well as the DLC code in the 3DS XL bundle.
