That is A) the perfect gift for me, even when I'm not in the position of having stayed awake for too long, and B) a perfect excuse to post this:
... and if I could find that clip of Jake the dog throwing magic at his own face to make himself sleep, that is what would go here.
Happy Holidays!
I also got Arkham Asylum GOTY on sale, through Steam. I beat your sale by $5. 
Then again, you own the game, I just own a license to it, so I guess that's about even, really. lol
Yeah. I'm aware of the criticisms, but it's a game people like that I've been interested in, plus $10 and I paid for it with a gift card. So I'm not really bothered by QTES. lol
Shadow Link probably stole all the mens' gloves from other stores. Bastard.
Hopefully, it'll look good on my laptop, despite having only the minimum video card req.
That last part reminds me I still need to make my annual charity payments. Don't worry, I'm nice all year round, but it's just easier to budget those at the end of the year. Speaking of which, I have to do my taxes a special way this year, and actually pay money on what I earned now instead of out of my checks from long ago, since I was freelance. Dammit.
I commented your Adventure Time review and will comment more later, but I REALLY need sleep right now.
Your gift is Jake the Dog's magical powers, which I'm not quite clear on exactly aside from the stretchy thing, since he seems to have more powers hidden away.
Like becoming Pikachu, for instance. I don't think you get to be electrical, though.
Merry Christmas Eve, Carey!
I just read TheLastninja's RETRO Christmas games blog, and I thought one game he described involved Santa hitting kids in his invincibilty mode. I guess I'm just misinterpreting left and right. I'm literally so tired I'm dizzy now and was when I wrote my initial response to your blog. I need sleep.
I definitely see your point. I agree having something like this in the middle of everything would be better.
I forgot all about Unfinised Swan, but I really want to play it. I thought it had a great art style and concept when I saw the trailers. I'll check for it on Steam.
Forza is always the racing game on display at the Gamestop kiosks I see for some reason. They are pretty games, but I've never been all that impressed playing them. This Need for Speed element and racing rivals while going around looking at billboards talk intrigues me, though.
NFS is possibly my favorite racing series, so I can't argue with the Most Wanted choice, though I've never personally played that game.
No surprise with Simpsons being your Android pick. Is it free? I might get it on Google Play.
I never played Temple Run, but I had seen people play it in some of my undergrad courses. It looks fun. I didn't know they added Usain Bolt. Makes sense.
Sorry Disney Infinite was such a let-down. I didn't know you couldn't mix and match the characters and worlds, that sucks. And if the figures are so useless, it sounds like a waste to me.
Again, can't argue with NFS Most Wanted. I think I'll buy Tomb Raider on Steam today. It's on sale for $10. My system meets all the minimum requirements, but doesn't quite meet the right graphics card recommendations, so I'm paying for it with a gift card my parents got me last year. That way I don't feel like I've lost anything should it wind up being too slow.
Yeah, that's why I'm confused. It did work before. I'll try the other method, though.
Never heard of Proteus, how was it?
And I tried Ugly Pug well before I asked you, actually. I didn't like it and thought it just tasted like regular beer, to be honest, but I'll try it again. I only drank about a third of a bottle. I think I'm just not a beer fan, but I have responded really well to dark lagers before, so I wanted a second opinion from someone a bit more in the know. Specifically, whatever is recommended along with the blue cheese burger at the East Dallas Beer Garden was really good, I forget the name of it, though.
