 I got all 8 core Giants characters listed on the wiki page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Skylanders_characters#Giants).

From what I've read, Skylanders is pretty good at not making you buy characters to unlock anything essential. You can complete the games with the starter pack characters. It's just that you get extra content, and some special items, if you have certan characters, but they aren't a necessity.

I'll never own a car over 200k miles ever again. I've already planned to sell my current car at 200k which will happen about 5 years from now, unless I change jobs by then.

 I was way into astronomy a few years ago. I got to the point where I wanted to take classes, then I wondered if it was a good investment. Maybe if I was in my 20s, but not now. I should be interested in the Pluto stuff that just came out, but I'm annoyed that I can't actually study it.

Last gen games are at rock bottom prices right now. I'm wondering when Gamestop will stop shelving them, but I think I have enough games at the moment. I got to avoid those sales for a while.

I just picked up the CD the week the album was released. I used to keep track of release schedules for music as well as games. Sometimes there are special editions put out and I think there was one for The Satanist, maybe through their web site. I just went with the standard one though.

More energy for EDF for sure, and stronger hands for those long battles. I felt a slight twinge in my shoulder last time. It was definitely from pulling the trigger with my right hand a lot. I think maybe I should look into that elite controller for Xbox One. You can adjust the trigger for a lighter touch. It could be a wise investment.

They're all normal size. Some are a little bigger like the Lob-Star. None are the sidekicks, which are smaller. I haven't looked into them yet. 

I'm not in any rush. I'll see it when I can see it. Whatevs. 

I get that thing about Burnout Paradise and how it doesn't have the same feel as the other Burnout games. I noticed it right away in the way the cars handle the first time I played the demo for it when it came out. I tried it more recently though and thought it felt very much like Burnout Revenge. The open worldness of it doesn't appeal to me much though. I know it was the new thing to do to get with the kids, but it turned me away from the series. I bought it, though, on a sale. I give it another try sometime. 

Reminds me I have to check Facebook IM to see about hooking up with a friend to see SW this weekend. 

Bayonetta is pretty cool. Happy holidays to you!
