Maybe Socks on my X-mas list...

So I have Rainbow 6 Vegas sitting on my desk. It’s been loaned to me by a co-worker. The problem is that I am at work, and even when I get home, I want to finish GoW on Insane, but I also don’t want to keep the game too long.

But it will help me figure out what I will be asking to get for Christmas. Now it occurs to me that I typically don’t get much I ask for. My wife, she’s cheap.  I bet I get a book.  Now don’t get me wrong, I love my cheap wife. In fact cheap is a quality about her that I will never try to change.  My Mom and Dad, I bet I get the 360 wireless headset that I have already told them to get me. If I get anything else, they will think of it themselves.  My in-laws, really I have no idea. Typically I get some sort of sweater. I think I must look cold to them or something. 

The point here is that I think that no matter what I ask for (and they all want a list from me) I likely won’t get it. It’s just history.  In fact, I have always wanted video game related stuff. I never got it. This is why gaming for me started on the computer. Marathon on the MAC was big for me. I actually didn’t ask once for any type of console. I had given up, but that year the Super Nintendo was a few years old, and my brother decided to ask for it. Yup, he got it. My parents have since explained to me that they don’t hate me, they just didn’t think I was serious about asking for other consoles. 

So back to the present day, now I still love games, and I think being forced to play them in limited fashion growing up likely fuels my passion even now. But since I have no kids, and a decent job, I have a little bit of spending money.  So I spend it, and frankly there isn’t much that deny myself anymore. I have my reason. Remember when Halo 2 had come out? Yah I was just married, and money was tighter then. My in-laws famous for their sweaters, wanted a good gift for me. My wife asked me what game I wanted most, and I should have lied. I was convinced to wait until Christmas for Halo 2. My wife even says she pointed directly at what should have been purchased. My In-Laws didn’t get it right. I got Halo, again. So I traded that in and bought 2, and wasted my time. Now I get what I want, and have nothing to ask for.

I think that doesn’t bother me. For instance, the first two weeks playing GoW were great. If I had waited, I doubt it would have been as much fun. And I want a little fun in my life.

Oh by the way, at the time of this writing I am #15 for the month in the blog rankings. December will be mine! I know, I know, I am full of shit. Maybe if I either had tits, or posted pictures of them, otherwise the chance is very slim, but I do think I can move up that list.

But on a different take, who the hell is reading this thing? I know like 20 people here, and half those guys can’t read.  If you are stopping by and finish this post (most of you won’t finish it I am sure, once you see there are no titty pictures) post a reply and say hello, especially if I haven’t gamed with you yet.
