So what do YOU want for Christmas?
First of all, a hearty apology for the lack of any new posts over the last week or so. This is due to a few things I won't go into, but mostly its down to that most dreaded of all things - Christmas shopping. Yes, call me a hypocrite if you will, that after blasting Christmas and the hollow, cynical cash-hungry farce it is - and THEN fuelling that very same farce, but there is one very good reason for this. I have a wife.Now, I'm not so delusional to think I'm not the only one who's going to wake up to new stuff on the 25th (and hey - even The Curmudgeon doesn't mind the actual day itself when it comes), so now's the time to tell us all what you're hoping to get from your partner/parents/whatever.
Now, this WOULD be the time when I would ask, in that stupid voice, if "you've been a good boy this year", but I don't have to for a few very good reasons. 1. You're in The Curmudgeon's Fortress Of Solitude - this entitles you to anything you want; be it gifts, cars or sex. And 2. I'm not a dick.
I think I'm the easiest person in the world to buy presents for. Seriously, I'm into SO much shit that it's almost impossible not to walk into a store and see something you could buy me. My wife has bunched a frightening looking amount of gifts under our tree for little ol' me (well, I'm worth it), and so far I don't know what any of them are. Well, with one exception..
Because it was too big to take to my parents house on Christmas Eve (and because I think she just wanted me to open it) I got THIS gift early..

Yup, just what someone my age needs. You know what though? It's AWESOME. Seriously - it's as good as the advert makes it look. Man, my cat’s days are NUMBERED with this thing.
Other than that? I don't really know. Like I said, I like so much stuff I have no idea what she's got me. The one thing I hope she's got me ('cos I get the annual instalment) is WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2007 for the PS2. Why, it just wouldn't be Christmas without it.
But that's just me. Come on, boys and girls, sit on The Curmudgeon's lap and tell me what you want for Christmas.
Actually, get off. I'm getting "feelings."

That roboraptor looks pretty insane. I laughed my ass off at the look on that kid's face when it bit him on the commercial. Loser. Aren't wives awesome? Single folk can talk all the crap they want about freedom and all that, but I've got an endless supply of baked goods and home-cooked meals, a clean house, thoughtful gifts, and no-big-deal sex that say being single is overrated. My darling couldn't keep a secret for all the tea in China (really, she doesn't drink that much tea...) so I already know I'm getting a big, fat I-pod for christmas. I've always been behind the curve on musical technology, but by new year's I'll have custom playlists up the yin-yang filled with all kinds of my favorite things. I think I shocked my whole family by declaring I didn't want any video games this year. With "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance", "Gears of War", a Gamefly subscription, and no free time to play my 360, I won't be buying any more games any time soon. Can't wait to try that "Smackdown vs. Raw", though; wrestling games rock. Have a good christmas, everyone.
Man, "Marvel Ultimate Alliance" looks SWEET. Add that to my wish list for sure.
I once scoffed at the prospect of having an I-Pod, thinking I'd never use it. Then my wife bought me one for my birthday and I don't leave the house without it. I imagine you'll be the same, Trashy.
So you have a 360 now? Go on then - what's it like?
All righty then. My wife got me a 360 last year for christmas (like I said, wives are awesome). I love the thing to death; customizable soundtracks on every game, sweet graphics (duh), fantastic online features, and great games on top of more great games. PS3 has shown me next to nothing except for idiot fanboys inciting violence in stores on launch day. The Wii looks really cool, but people are getting hurt with that motion-sensitive controller so I'll go on record as saying that the xbox 360 is the console to own at the moment. Hell, if the price tag wasn't so damn high, I'd recommend buying it for "Gears of War", and "Dead Rising" alone with other games being just a happy bonus. M:UA is ridiculously awesome (I've got a full review on Amazon if you want further details), but it's available on every console so no need to shell out for the next-gen hotness for that one. I beat it once and could not wait to play through again, but then "Gears" came out and my free time is shot to hell. If only I could get hurt on the job and get me some workman's comp.....now there's an idea.
I'm actually torn between the 3. Do I get a Wii or a 360 or wait for a PS3?
That Zelda game looks pretty far out..
(Not that I'm avoiding the question, but I don't really know what I want for Christmas. My parents usually just give me cash. Which I don't know what I'm gonna spend on!)
